Product shape

Web app in. Harness out.

Give the product a Mac identity, an access boundary, and a path to release without changing the web stack.

One readable boundary for the team, then a cleaner release path when the product is ready.

Release flow

Start as a package. Become an app when the product proves itself.

Start light while the team is still learning. Keep a credible path to a branded Mac app when the audience grows.

01

Build

Start with the static web build your team already ships.

02

Declare

Add identity, icon, entry point, and capability intent.

03

Harness

Create a `.harness` package for WebHarness on Mac.

04

Release

Move proven products into a branded app and installer.

Current packageAcmeOps.harnessReady for internal use. Release path attached.

Trust model

Users see the boundary, not the release mechanics.

A Harness shows identity, approved capabilities, and release readiness as simple product facts. The operational details stay behind that clear surface.

Questions

Built for teams that already have the web app.

Is WebHarness only for developer tools?

No. It is for web apps and internal tools that deserve a Mac surface: dashboards, operators, support consoles, admin tools, agent workflows, and customer-facing products.

Do users need to understand the packaging details?

No. The public model stays simple: open a Harness, see what it can ask for, and move to managed release when the app needs wider distribution.

Can teams keep their current web stack?

Yes. WebHarness starts with a static production build and a readable manifest. Your framework choice stays yours.

When should a Harness become a managed release?

Use a Harness while the team is evaluating or distributing internally. Bring in managed release when customers, procurement, support, or brand trust matter.

Turn one real web product into a Harness.

Start with WebHarness for Mac and the CLI. Package the app, inspect the boundary, and decide when a wider Mac release matters.
