Syft Notes 0.23.3

Fixes

• On a Mac, opening the Syft Notes download works again. Since 0.20.0, opening the downloaded Syft-Notes.dmg showed no window, and on recent macOS Finder could quit. The disk image is now made the standard way.
• Two Syft Notes folders become one. If your notes ended up in two Syft Notes folders (for example an old OneDrive and a school OneDrive), Syft Notes asks which one to keep and copies the other folder's notes into it. Nothing is deleted, and where two copies of a lecture differ, both are kept.
• Signing in to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini never moves notes off the AI on your computer. If you set your notes or Ask to the free AI on this computer, signing in to another AI leaves that choice as it is.
• The free AI on your computer picks a size that fits it, and its problems are explained in plain words in Ask.
• Canvas class pages keep your place when Canvas syncs: an open week stays open, and a list that couldn't load doesn't empty the rest of the page.
• Back and Forward return you to where you were scrolled.
• Quick search starts at the top of each new set of results, and on Windows in dark mode the chosen result is easy to read.
• Phone photos open without freezing the window.
• On Windows, Due dates are no longer cut off.
• On a Mac, the part that answers your phone with the app closed waits for a moment if another copy is still finishing, instead of stopping.

Good to know

• If you downloaded Syft Notes for Mac before 0.23.3 and its window never appeared, delete that download and download Syft Notes again: the new download opens properly. If the window still seems missing, it may have opened behind your browser.
• Needs: on a Mac, macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, Apple silicon or Intel; on Windows, Windows 10 or 11; on Linux, a desktop with PipeWire or PulseAudio.
• Updating: installed copies update themselves within about an hour, when nothing is recording and you aren't typing in a lecture's notes. To update now, use Settings → General → Updates → Update now.
