What's new in v0.2.1

A focused bug-fix and documentation release.

Bug fixes

  • Multi-monitor tooltip positioning: Tooltips now appear on the same screen as your cursor instead of being forced onto the primary display. Uses monitor_from_point with a primary-monitor fallback.
  • Detailed answers no longer get cut off: The tooltip body is now scrollable with a subtle styled scrollbar instead of silently truncating at 5 lines. Window also bumped from 200px to 240px tall so most one or two paragraph answers fit without scrolling.
  • Onboarding checklist accuracy: The "Start detection" step no longer marks itself complete before you've added a key or granted Accessibility. Now requires all three preconditions before showing as done.

Documentation

  • New How it works sidebar section in the setup window with:
    • Four numbered step cards walking through the full Select → Read → Explain → Tooltip flow
    • Reference card for the three detection modes (Selected only / Hover any / Smart)
    • Reference card for the three trigger modes (Automatic / Hold Option / Manual)
    • Tips card covering re-granting Accessibility, fastest-setup recommendation, and how to pause

Requirements

  • macOS (Apple Silicon — aarch64)
  • Accessibility permission required on first launch
  • API key for at least one supported AI provider
