Syft Notes 0.23.4

Fixes

• On a Mac, moving Syft Notes into Applications works properly. A copy moved there from the download kept a "downloaded from the internet" mark, so it asked to move again every time it opened and couldn't update itself. It no longer does, and a copy that already has the mark is healed the next time it moves. Moving never replaces a newer copy with an older one, and the download disk is ejected afterwards.
• An older copy of Syft Notes kept somewhere else no longer starts when you log in. A copy left in Downloads, a second Applications folder or a "Syft Notes 2" now hands everything (start at login, the background library, your AI apps' connections) to the newest copy.
• Updates arrive even if your laptop sleeps a lot. Syft Notes looks for a new version by the clock, not by how long the laptop has been awake.
• A lecture that's waiting to be written down no longer holds updates back. If the speech model was missing, updates could wait forever.
• No update or move while setup is open, so setup is never restarted in the middle.
• On Windows, "Open Syft Notes when you log in" stays on after you reinstall.
• On Windows, opening an older installer when Syft Notes is already installed opens your copy instead of making a second one.
• Setup's step counter counts correctly when your school doesn't use Canvas.

Good to know

• 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.
