Sotto now checks for updates when it launches, while respecting your automatic-update preference. ### Updates you won't miss - Available updates are discovered without waiting for a manual check. - If an older installation cannot update itself, Sotto clearly offers the public customer portal instead of a private repository link. - Recovery alerts are limited to once per build so they stay useful without becoming noisy.

The Siri Shortcuts permission screen is now compact, organized, and much easier to scan. ### Cleaner shortcut controls - Every shortcut switch lines up in a consistent trailing column. - Folder counts make long shortcut libraries easier to understand. - Search and bulk enable or disable controls are clearer. - Loading, errors, and empty search results now have proper states. - The sheet stays at a sensible size instead of taking over the screen.

Sotto's Assistant is now easier to follow, easier to interrupt, and far more dependable. ### Assistant - Press your dictation key while Sotto is speaking to stop it immediately and start a new dictation. - Listening, transcribing, thinking, and speaking now have distinct edge animations and sounds. - Assistant Settings and History now live in their own sidebar group, and Escape returns from History. - Model selection is consistently provider-first, then model. ### More voice control - Play albums, artists, and playlists in Apple Music. - Control mute and system volume. - View and control both timers and alarms from the menu bar. - Advanced users can opt in to Bash commands with a clear full-computer-access warning and protected safety boundaries. ### Reliability - Very short Parakeet dictations no longer fail. - Cancelled Assistant requests can no longer overwrite a newer session. - Launch migration, API handling, CLI output, file imports, and diagnostic reads are hardened. - Production exceptions are now captured in the correct error-tracking format.

This update fixes the app freezing for some people after updating to 1.4. ### Fixes - Fixed Sotto freezing completely at launch for some users (especially when updating from an older version). If this happened to you — this update is for you, and we're sorry. - Made the first launch after an update faster and smoother. ### Reliability - Sotto can now tell us when it freezes or crashes, so problems like this get found and fixed much faster — without you having to report them.

Sotto now has an iPhone companion app with a dictation keyboard — dictate on your phone with the same accuracy you get on your Mac. ### New - **Sotto for iPhone**: a companion app with a dictation keyboard you can use anywhere on iOS. - Pair your iPhone with your Mac by scanning a QR code — your settings come along automatically.

The iPhone companion grew up fast. ### New - Dictate straight from the keyboard on iPhone with cloud or on-device transcription. - A history-first home screen so your recent dictations are always a tap away. - Shortcuts support and a Live Activity so you can control dictation without opening the app. - Apple Watch app for hands-free dictation.

Electron 43 & Chromium 150

Sizzy now runs on **Electron 43** with **Chromium 150** and **Node 24**. This was the release we spent the most time on, because it touches everything: your previews render on the newest web engine, you get the latest CSS and JavaScript features, faster performance, and all the recent security fixes. If you ever saw a modern site behave differently in Sizzy than in Chrome, that gap is now closed.

Activity monitor for live tabs

A new activity monitor gives you a live overview of your open tabs with quick previews and per-tab actions, so it is easy to see what is running and jump to the right device.

Polish, stability & fixes

On top of the headline features, Sizzy 74 includes a long list of smaller improvements: a smoother DevTools experience with universal inspect, better light-mode styling across dialogs and panels, more reliable scroll sync, cleaner process handling on quit, faster project switching that keeps tabs mounted, and many packaging and startup fixes for a more stable app overall.

Integrations & secure token storage

A new integrations settings area lets you connect external services and store your API tokens securely, so your agents and project tools can talk to the services you already use.

Full-page screenshot overlay

Screenshots got magical. A new full-page screenshot overlay lets you capture multiple devices at once, and you can hand those screenshots straight to an AI agent through a mention — great for asking an agent to fix exactly what you are seeing on screen.

Vertical workspace tabs

A brand-new **vertical tab layout** gives you a resizable rail for your workspace tabs, perfect for wide monitors. Pin your most-used tabs as **favorites** or **global pins** that follow you across projects, and switch between horizontal and vertical layouts from the interface settings.

Project management overhaul

Your projects are now first-class citizens in Sizzy. - Define **dev commands** and launch them straight from the project. - Keep **titled notes and todos** attached to each project, with a proper markdown editor and drag-to-reorder. - Browse your codebase with the built-in **file tree** and jump to files with fuzzy search. - Set your preferred editor and **open files directly** in it. - Save project info to a **.sizzyrc** file so your setup travels with the repo.

Integrated terminal

Sizzy now ships with a real terminal built in. Spin up a terminal per project, run your dev server, and keep an eye on the output without ever leaving the app. It is powered by a proper PTY, so interactive CLIs, colors, and shortcuts all work the way you expect.

AI coding agents, built into Sizzy

You can now run AI coding agents right inside Sizzy, scoped to each of your projects. - **Claude Code and Codex** sessions live next to your previews, so you can ask an agent to make a change and watch it happen across every device at once. - **@mentions** let you pull in the right context fast — reference MCP servers, notes, snippets, tasks, bookmarks, and open tabs directly in your prompt. - An **All Agents** dialog lets you manage and jump between sessions across all your projects from one place. - Pick **thinking levels** and switch between the latest agent models depending on how hard the task is.

A much smarter calculator

Launcher math now runs on the Soulver engine: natural phrases, dates, units, percentages, time zones, and number bases all evaluate inline. Currency conversions use live exchange rates that refresh in the background and tell you how fresh they are.

A rebuilt screenshot annotator

The annotation editor got a ground-up rework. Tools stay active while you work, and clicking any existing element selects it so you can move, resize, recolor, or re-edit it without switching tools — double-click text to edit it again. Crop is now a real mode: adjust the edges with handles while seeing the full image, then apply or discard. Zoom from the menu, with cmd+scroll, or pinch, and pan with a two-finger scroll or by dragging empty space. Step numbers behave as one sequence — change the style (1-2-3, A-B-C, Roman), starting value, size, or color once and every number follows. Drop any image straight onto the canvas as a layer, and exports are now exactly what you see: text renders correctly and the pixelate tool actually pixelates.

Backgrounds, wallpapers, and presets

Make screenshots presentation-ready without leaving the editor. A resizable Background panel offers twenty gradients, plain colors with a custom color picker, and wallpaper libraries — your own images, bundled sets, and your Mac's built-in wallpapers, each behind its own switch so the panel stays tidy. Add padding, rounded corners (all the way to a capsule), a soft shadow, and an aspect ratio, then save the combination as a preset with an optional default that applies automatically. Every copy, save, or drag-out ships with the background baked in.

Screenshot History panel

A clipboard-history-style panel for your screenshots, on its own assignable hotkey. It slides in from the bottom (or docks to the right edge) with recent captures as cards: click to paste into the app you were using, hover for copy, annotate, reveal, or delete, drag any card out as a file, and search the text inside your screenshots thanks to OCR. New captures also stack in the corner now — several screenshots pile up, fan out on hover, and dismiss on their own configurable timers.

Window management is back

Snap windows to halves, thirds, two-thirds, quarters, center, maximize, and almost-maximize from launcher commands or global hotkeys. Configure window and screen gaps, repeat a snap to cycle sizes, optionally cycle windows across displays, and keep Stage Manager happy while doing it.

Every feature is now a switch

Settings no longer hides functionality behind app modes. Every feature — Screenshots, Clipboard, Window Management, AI, and the rest — has its own on/off switch in the header of its settings pane. Features you have not enabled stay visible in the sidebar, one click away from turning on, and disabling one removes its commands and hotkeys everywhere at once.

Activity Monitor, Raycast import, and agent skills

The Activity Monitor command opens a live process browser with CPU and memory per app and quit / force-quit actions. Snippets can import your entire Raycast collection (JSON or .rayconfig) with duplicate detection. AI Chat and Talk voice agents gained per-agent skill controls, and translations now keep a searchable history with model and language preferences.

A faster, steadier launcher

Typing in the launcher feels immediate: results update incrementally instead of re-rendering, icons load asynchronously, and the app index refreshes the moment you install or remove an app. Running apps show a live indicator, and the launcher remembers its position separately on every monitor — drag it near the center and it snaps back with a visual guide.

Mindy 0.2 is the first release of the productivity browser era: a redesigned sidebar, working Chrome extensions, automatic updates, and Mindy can now become your default macOS browser. ### A sidebar that stays out of your way The sidebar got a full redesign: compact, consistent rows, clean folder trees without clutter, and favorites that look like they belong. Collections now expand right inside the tree so you can see and open their tabs without leaving your spot — drilling into a collection is a deliberate action (shift-click or right-click → Focus), not something that happens every time you click. ### Chrome extensions that actually work Extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store now boot reliably — including password managers like 1Password. Mindy ships a compatibility layer that fills in the extension APIs Chrome apps expect, so more of your daily extensions just work. ### Your default browser Mindy now registers itself with macOS as a real browser: it shows up in default-browser pickers and link-opener menus, and Settings → General has a "Make Default" button that hands links from every app straight to Mindy. ### Automatic updates Mindy keeps itself up to date. Updates download in the background and install when you restart — no manual downloads ever again. ### Automation groundwork This release also lays the foundation for controlling Mindy programmatically, with browser automation exposed over authenticated MCP and persistent agentic browser conversations. ### Fixes and polish - Native-feeling menus and dialogs — no more washed-out, tinted popovers or flashing pages behind dialogs - Favorites and pinned tabs can no longer be closed by accident, and "Clean up tabs" leaves them alone and asks first - Favicons no longer show as broken hearts; sites without icons get a proper fallback - Right-click a favorite to duplicate it as a regular tab or move the favorites bar to the top - Create tabs, collections, and to-dos from anywhere via right-click — no need to enter a collection first

Sotto now runs unsandboxed — which unlocks the two most-requested integrations — and the recording bar grew real controls. ### New: CLI Agents - Use your installed AI coding CLIs as providers: **Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Grok, and Cursor Agent** — detected automatically, using their own authentication. No API key needed. - They live in their own **CLI Agents** tab in the sidebar. ### Recording bar - The right-click menu now always offers **every position**, even after you've dragged the bar somewhere custom. - New **Restart** and **Quit** items in the menu (safely separated so you won't hit them by accident). - Fixed the flow with AI functions: the bar now shows **Enhancing…** while your AI function runs, and the success sound plays only when the final text is actually inserted — no more premature "done" chime. ### Timing you can trust - Recordings now show real processing times, including how long the AI enhancement took: "Transcribed in 1.2s · Enhanced in 3.4s". ### Under the hood - **Sotto is no longer sandboxed.** Your data moves out of the sandbox container automatically on first launch — recordings, transcripts, models, and settings all come along. This is what makes CLI agents and full-path file imports possible. - The API can now import files from any path, and API error messages are clearer. - Provider names no longer get truncated in pickers.

The biggest update yet: connect any AI provider (including local and on-device), a reworked settings experience, a movable recording bar, and a dramatically more capable API. ### New: Providers - New **Providers** tab: connect providers from a clean grid — click, paste your key, it validates, done. - **Ollama and LM Studio** support: run AI features against local models. Sotto auto-detects running instances and lists your installed models. - **Apple Intelligence**: auto-detected on supported Macs. AI features work out of the box — no API key needed. - New transcription providers: **Deepgram Nova-3** and **custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints** (self-hosted Whisper, Speaches, LiteLLM…). - All model catalogs updated to the latest generation (GPT‑5.6 family, Claude Sonnet 5 / Opus 4.8 / Fable 5, Gemini 3.5, and more). Your saved models migrate automatically. - Use your **coding agent CLIs as providers**: Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Grok, and Cursor Agent. ### New: Permissions - New **Permissions** tab showing every permission Sotto uses, with one-click granting. - A floating guide helps you drag Sotto straight into the right System Settings list — no more hunting for the app. - "Repair Permission" fixes stale Accessibility grants. ### Recording bar - **Drag it anywhere** — Sotto remembers where you put it. - Right-click anywhere on the bar for a full menu: size, style, position, reset. - "Hide for This Recording" records invisibly, just this once. ### Fixes - Global hotkey now works immediately after login, before the main window is ever opened. - Fixed recordings getting stuck ("bubble stays on screen") until the app was restarted. - Errors are shown instead of failing silently. - License activation shows real error messages, and deactivation tells you if the seat wasn't freed. ### API & CLI (for tinkerers and agents) - Browse and search your transcription history via the API. - Manage AI functions, dictionary, find & replace, and always-on rules via API and CLI. - Upload audio files directly (`POST /api/import/upload`) — works remotely and around sandbox limits. - Endpoints grouped with per-group and per-endpoint enable/disable. - The `sotto` CLI auto-discovers the port, supports remote hosts (`--host`), and gained commands for everything above. Settings got a cleaner grouped sidebar, Summaries and Titles are now separate (and titles work for dictation recordings too), and AI Functions include starter templates.

AI model controls

AI settings now make it easier to choose which models Supermac should use. Refresh available models for connected providers and local agents, hide models you do not use, and pick the model for Translator, Quick Add, Quick Fix, emoji suggestions, and other AI actions.

Quick Fix from the launcher

Quick Fix is now a launcher command for selected text. Highlight text in any app, run Quick Fix, and Supermac corrects grammar, typos, capitalization, and punctuation with your configured AI route. It replaces the text in place when possible, or copies the fixed version when direct insertion is unavailable.

Translator

Translator is now a first-class launcher command. Open it from root search, paste or type text, let Supermac detect the language, swap directions, choose a preferred language pair, and route translations through your preferred AI provider or local agent. Optional history keeps recent translations on your Mac so you can revisit results later.

File Shelf

File Shelf is a temporary tray for files you want to keep handy. Turn it on in Settings, then collect files from drops, screenshots, clipboard images, launcher actions, and companion transfers. Open it from the launcher to preview, copy, zip, send to phone, reveal in Finder, restore recent items, or clear the shelf when you are done.

File transfer and clipboard relay

Mobile clients can upload and download files through Supermac, work with clipboard data, and stream larger transfers through safer desktop-side file routes.

Notification mirroring and quick tiles

Android can mirror notifications back to Supermac and expose quick tiles for common actions like clipboard, media, mute, screenshots, and favorite decks.

Remote screen and input

Companion clients can see remote-screen availability, request screen data, send remote input, and call remote camera and control routes through the local API.

AI tools and skill sources

Agents and AI functions can now use configured tool permissions and skill sources. Supermac can load skill prompts, normalize sources, and keep agent/tool capabilities organized from Settings.

Agent launcher commands

Configured agents can appear as their own New AI Chat commands in root search, and voice agents can show up as call commands. The AI Chat sidebar also adds a dedicated new-chat row, agent picker, grouped conversations, and better launch context.

iOS companion app support

The iOS companion app now has the desktop hooks it needs for pairing, shortcuts, files, remote views, AI chat sockets, widgets, Live Activities, and the share extension. TestFlight will come later, but the Mac side is in place.

Settings crash fix

Fixed the remaining packaged Settings crash caused by the KeyboardShortcuts bundle being looked up from the wrong app bundle path.

Extra Settings release safety

Packaging now checks this resource lookup before release, so a broken Settings bundle should fail the build instead of reaching users.

Packaged Settings opens again

Fixed the packaged app missing SwiftPM resource bundles needed by Settings, so opening Settings in the installed production build works instead of crashing.

Polished DMG installer

Restored the custom DMG layout with the Supermac background and the app/Applications icons arranged in the right places.

AI chat with agents

Chat with Codex, Cursor, Claude, Pi, or custom ACP agents from Supermac. Conversations keep history, show tool activity, support queued messages, image attachments, skill mentions, and per-agent workspaces.

Quick add events

Add Quick Event is now available as a root command. Type a plain-language event, then let the built-in parser or AI parser turn it into calendar fields before saving.

Computer Use tools

Supermac now packages a local Computer Use backend for agent workflows. Agents can use enabled tools to inspect windows, click, type, scroll, drag, press hotkeys, and work with the Mac through the bundled CUA driver or AppleScript fallback.

Quick add reminders

Add Quick Reminder is now available as its own root command. Type the reminder naturally, parse the title, due date, time, and list, then save it straight to Reminders.

Reminder search and pins

Reminders can be searched directly, opened in their own stack, and pinned into root search so important tasks stay near the top with due-time context and countdowns.

Custom launcher hotkey

Choose the global shortcut that opens Supermac from Settings. Cmd+Shift+Space stays the default, and the new Use Cmd+Space action can hand Spotlight's shortcut to Supermac with a fallback if macOS refuses it.

AI providers and model routing

Connect AI providers, refresh model catalogs, choose fallback models, and route different Supermac AI functions to the model or provider that makes sense for the job.

Android companion app support

The desktop side is ready for the Android companion app: QR pairing, live status, action panes, remote decks, file upload/download, remote screen, remote input, AI chat sockets, notification mirroring, and quick settings tiles are wired into the Mac API.

AI tab

The AI tab is now in Settings. It brings provider setup, model routing, agent configuration, skill sources, tool selection, and quick parsing controls into one place. The UI still needs polish, but the real AI control surface is here.

MCP server

MCP support can now be enabled from the local API settings so external agents can discover selected Supermac capabilities and call into approved desktop actions through the same local control layer.
