Signal is a desktop application described by its maker as a local AI investment research knowledge base, built to run entirely on your own Mac rather than in the cloud. The idea is to take in information you feed it, along with clues it digs up automatically from market data, financial reports, and trending topics, and turn all of that into traceable knowledge cards. Those cards can then be used for analysis, building a knowledge graph, review, checking factors, and helping with decisions. The README is explicit that Signal does not connect to any brokerage interface, does not place trades automatically, and does not count as investment advice. It is a tool for organizing and reviewing research, not a trading system. Right now, the project only distributes installers for macOS, covering Intel Macs, Apple Silicon Macs, and a universal package that works on either, which the README recommends if you are not sure which chip your Mac has. The current version, 0.1.3, fixed a handful of issues from earlier releases, including how the knowledge base connects to its Git remote, deduplication and filtering for tracked assets, and a bug where local analysis tasks run through tools like Claude, Codex, or Trae were not being submitted automatically. The installer also checks its bundled tmux tool, its financial report and pricing scripts, and its code signature. An older 0.1.2 build is kept only as a historical archive and is not recommended for new installs. Each installer comes with a checksum file so you can verify the download, and a manifest file lists version, architecture, size, and source information for each package. The repository itself is organized simply: one folder holds the distributable installers, one holds end-user documentation, and there are files tracking checksums and the package manifest. The maintainers ask that only ready-to-distribute installers be added to the repo, not build caches or dependency folders.
