Maiboli 5min 0.4.3 — floating button always findable

Same fix as v0.4.3, for the 5-minute-limit edition: the floating mic bubble pulls itself back on-screen when its saved position is invalid, and the tray menu gains Reset floating button position. Recording still auto-stops at 5:00.

Install steps: HOW-TO-RUN.md.

Maiboli Desktop 0.4.3 — floating button always findable

Fixes the floating mic bubble disappearing on Windows when its remembered position is no longer on any screen (monitor unplugged, resolution change).

• The bubble now pulls itself back on-screen automatically, including when displays change while the app runs.
• New tray menu item: Reset floating button position.

Install steps: see HOW-TO-RUN.md. 5-minute-limit edition: see release v0.4.3-limit5.

Maiboli 5min v0.4.2 — 5-minute recording limit edition

Special edition of Maiboli Desktop with a hardcoded 5-minute recording limit: if you forget to stop, recording auto-stops at 5:00, notifies you, and transcribes what it has. Everything else is identical to the standard edition (floating mic, tray icon, Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+M, Gemini/Whisper/Sarvam).

Installs as a separate app ("Maiboli 5min"), so it can live alongside the standard edition.

How to run: see HOW-TO-RUN.md — covers Windows (SmartScreen "Run anyway") and macOS (the xattr -cr one-liner for the "damaged" warning), first-run API key setup, and daily use.

Standard (unlimited) edition: v0.4.1. Source for this edition lives on the five-minute-limit branch.

Maiboli v0.4.1 — floating mic button

New: floating mic button 🎤 — a small always-on-top bubble you can drag anywhere on screen. Click it to start/stop dictation (it pulses red while recording); it never steals focus, so the text still lands wherever your cursor is. Its position is remembered, and you can hide/show it from the tray menu (Floating mic button).

Important fix: the v0.4.0 Windows installer was accidentally built for ARM64 and won't run on normal PCs — use this version's Maiboli Setup 0.4.1.exe (x64) instead.

Maiboli v0.4.0 — Desktop app (zero dependencies)

New: Maiboli Desktop — dictation everywhere on your computer, with nothing to set up.

• Windows: download Maiboli Setup 0.4.0.exe, double-click, done. No sox, no PowerShell, no dependencies — the app records audio itself.
• macOS (Apple Silicon): download Maiboli-0.4.0-arm64.dmg, drag to Applications, right-click → Open the first time.

A 🎤 icon appears in your system tray (Windows: bottom-right near the clock) / menu bar (Mac). Click it or press Ctrl+Alt+M (Mac: Cmd+Alt+M) to record; press again to stop — the English text is pasted wherever your cursor is, in any app. Right-click the icon for Settings (provider, API keys, AI rewrite, shortcut).

The VS Code extension continues to work as before for editor-only use.

Maiboli v0.3.4 — Windows recording fixes

Fixes from the first real Windows deployment:

• Windows mic detection: sox (scoop/portable builds) needs AUDIODRIVER=waveaudio to open the microphone — Maiboli now sets it automatically. No manual environment variable needed.
• No more silent failures: if the recorder process dies right after starting, you now get an immediate error including sox's own message (e.g. no default audio device configured), instead of a status bar stuck on "Recording…" and nothing happening.

Maiboli v0.3.3 — request timeout

API requests are now capped at 60 seconds per attempt — a hung connection fails with a clear message instead of spinning forever.

Maiboli v0.3.2 — auto-retry + current Gemini default

• Transient API errors (rate limits, 503 overloads) are now retried automatically up to 3 times before you see an error.
• Default Gemini model is now gemini-3.5-flash — Google closed gemini-2.5-flash to new accounts.

Maiboli v0.3.1 — Gemini polishing + tidier settings

• Rewrite Provider now offers gemini alongside openai/sarvam.
• Settings page reorganized: the three API keys now sit together under the provider choice.
• Reminder: the 29s auto-split applies only to Sarvam (their API limit) — Whisper and Gemini always receive the full recording.

Maiboli v0.3.0 — Gemini provider + rewrite control

• New provider: gemini — Google Gemini takes your audio directly: language detection, translation, and polishing in one call, no 30-second limit. Free tier key at aistudio.google.com.
• New setting: maiboli.rewriteProvider — choose which AI polishes your text (auto/openai/sarvam). Set both keys to transcribe with Sarvam and polish with GPT.
