-Share your iOS app from a public GitHub repository:
+Share your iPhone app. Let anyone try it.
 
 ```sh
 npm i -g menloapp
-cd YourApp
-menloapp init
-# Edit menloapp/app.json, then commit and push your changes.
 menloapp deploy
 ```
 
-Deploy returns `https://menloapp.lol/your-app`. Subsequent pushes update the same
-page automatically. GitHub supplies repository identity, commits, source and
-feedback. MENLO checks that you have write access before registering the app.
-There is no gas, wallet, or Companion publication approval on this path.
+Run deploy in your app’s public GitHub repository. It returns a live link like
+**https://menloapp.lol/your-app**. Share it. New commits update the same app page.
 
-You can also install it as a project dependency:
+To install someone’s app:
 
 ```sh
-npm install menloapp
-npx menloapp init
-# Review, commit and push package.json, package-lock.json and menloapp/.
-npx menloapp deploy
+menloapp try https://menloapp.lol/hello-menlo
 ```
 
-For a local dependency, keep `/node_modules/` in your project’s `.gitignore`;
-commit the package manifests and your public `menloapp/` folder.
+MENLO uses your Mac, Xcode and Apple signing identity to build the app for your
+paired iPhone. You review the exact source before its build runs. The iPhone
+needs Trust and Developer Mode enabled.
 
-Installation runs no setup, download or upload scripts. `menloapp init` creates
-`menloapp/app.json` and a short README without replacing existing files. The
-first deploy creates that folder if it is missing, then asks you to review,
-commit and push it. Node 20+ and Git are required. An existing `gh auth login`
-session works; a configured GitHub device flow is also supported.

-100 characters for the name, 160 for the subtitle, and 4,000 for the description.
-Descriptions support line breaks and are rendered as text.
+`githubRepo` comes from your GitHub origin. `menloLink` is filled in after a
+successful deploy. You do not need to set either field yourself. `website` is
+an optional HTTPS link. `tokenAddress` is an optional
+[CAIP-19 ERC-20 identifier](https://namespaces.chainagnostic.org/eip155/caip19):
+`eip155:<chain-id>/erc20:<contract-address>`. For example, a token on Base uses

-Files must be ordinary Git files inside `menloapp/`; symbolic links, external
-URLs and Git LFS pointers are not supported. Only files explicitly selected in
-`app.json` are served as presentation media. Media URLs contain the full commit,
-and the server checks the downloaded bytes against that commit's Git blob.
-Pages follow the default branch with a cache of up to 60 seconds. A recording
-can show an earlier app version; its recorded source commit stays visible.
+The public page reads metadata and media from your Git commit. Media must be
+ordinary files inside `menloapp/`, not symbolic links or Git LFS pointers.
+Only selected files are served. Updates can take up to 60 seconds to appear.
 
-## Record an experience
+## Automatic previews
 
-Open an iPhone Simulator, then:
+Deploy can build the committed app in a fresh iPhone Simulator, have Codex
+explore its screens, and record the interactions. It adds screenshots when none
+were supplied. You do not need to drive the app or configure
+recording settings.
+
+One-time prerequisites: full Xcode with an iPhone Simulator runtime, a signed-in
+[Codex CLI](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli/),
+[AXe](https://github.com/cameroncooke/AXe), and FFmpeg:
 
 ```sh
-menloapp deploy --record --seconds 20
+npm i -g @openai/codex
+codex login
+brew install cameroncooke/axe/axe ffmpeg
 ```
 
-This builds an isolated copy of the current committed source for that Simulator,
-launches the chosen app, and records its screen while you use it. It executes
-your project's normal Xcode build scripts. It does not use your physical phone
-or Apple signing identity. The duration is 3–60 seconds. With multiple booted
-Simulators, pass `--simulator UDID` from `xcrun simctl list devices booted`.
+The preview uses your Codex account. Only screenshots and the Simulator’s UI
+structure are sent to Codex. It stops at sign-in, purchases, messaging and other
+sensitive actions. Existing screenshots and videos marked `device` or
+`screen-recording` are preserved. Simulator previews refresh when app source
+changes. If capture is unavailable, deploy shares the app with the media you
+already have and explains what prevented the new preview.
 
-The command writes a new MP4 and updates `app.json`, then stops for your review.
-Review the recording, commit and push `menloapp/`, and run `menloapp deploy` to
-publish its selection. The page labels it as a Simulator recording and shows
-the exact source commit used to build it. Recording is explicit; deploy does
-not silently record an app or publish private captures.
+MENLO commits and pushes the metadata and captures it creates. Commit your own
+app changes before deploying. The recording identifies the source that was
+built and is labeled as a Simulator preview on the public page.
 
-You can supply an existing MP4 of up to 50 MiB instead:
+You can also select your own H.264 MP4 of up to 50 MiB:
 
 ```json
 "preview": { "path": "menloapp/preview.mp4", "kind": "screen-recording" }
 ```
 
-Use `"kind": "device"` for your own physical-device recording. These are
-maker-supplied descriptions, not installation attestations. H.264 MP4 gives
-broad browser playback support. Previews have playback controls and are not
-interactive versions of the app.
+Use `"kind": "device"` for a physical-device recording.
+
+## Advanced options
 
-## Deploy and try
+The everyday commands are `menloapp deploy` and `menloapp try <link>`.
 
-`menloapp deploy --project path/App.xcodeproj --scheme App --app-slug your-app`
-handles explicit project selection. Slugs use 2–64 lowercase letters, numbers
-and single hyphens. `--dry-run` checks local committed metadata without writing,
-authenticating or publishing. `--json` and noninteractive sessions do not prompt.
-`--name` supplies an initial scaffold name; committed `app.json` is authoritative.
+- `menloapp init` prepares metadata for editing before a first deploy.
+- `--record` regenerates the automatic preview; `--no-preview` skips generation.
+- `--project path/App.xcodeproj` and `--scheme App` select an ambiguous project.
+- `--app-slug your-app` chooses the link name; ordinary deploy reuses an existing link.
+- `--simulator UDID` selects a booted iPhone Simulator; the default is a fresh one.
+- `--seconds 3–60` caps the preview length, excluding the agent’s thinking time.
+- `--dry-run` checks committed source without publishing. `--json` avoids prompts.
 
-Recipients open the link in the MENLO Mac app, or run
-`menloapp github install your-app`. They review the exact source and build with
-Xcode and their own Apple signing identity for their paired intended iPhone.
-Build scripts can require `--approve-mac-review` after local review.
+Node 20+, Git and GitHub sign-in are required. An existing `gh auth login` session
+works. Deploy guides sign-in when GitHub CLI is installed.
 
-Commands needing the native runtime retain the exact signed native 1.3.0
-manifest at `https://tohseno.com/releases/cli-1.3.0.json`; hashes, archive layout,
-and Apple signature checks remain unchanged. Deployment and recording run in
-Node directly. Existing `tohseno` and `menlo` commands belong to the earlier
-package; this package installs only `menloapp`, so it can coexist with them.
-Historical publication is available through `deploy --legacy-registry`.
+For a project dependency:
+
+```sh
+npm install menloapp
+npx menloapp deploy
+```
 
-Development: `npm test`, `npm pack --dry-run`.
+Keep `node_modules/` ignored. Installation runs no setup or upload scripts.
