What is installed
The native app bundles the Rust control plane and terminal tools. Its first launch manages supported integrations through Looper's own product flow. It keeps session state on your Mac and can serve a paired phone over LAN or Tailscale.
Closing a terminal does not stop the server. The menu bar app controls its bundled server lifecycle, including its Detach Server on Quit setting.
Updates
Quit Looper before replacing its app bundle with a verified release. Keep your existing application data and pairing state. Download URLs are pinned to a version; review that release's notes and checksums before upgrading.
