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.
