Otto 0.1.9 — new name, Act mode

Renamed to Otto, and added Act mode.

• Act: tell it to open an app, a website, or a search, and it launches it on your computer (third tab in the bar).
• Everything else — screen answers, the guide cursor, meeting notes — is still here.

Auto-updates from your existing install. Not code-signed — SmartScreen warns on first run. Windows 10 (2004+) / 11, x64.

Cluely 0.1.8

Fix: the overlay no longer flashes/disappears when you send a message. It now stays put while it reads your screen.

Auto-updates. Windows 10 (2004+) / 11, x64.

Cluely 0.1.7 — new look

Redesigned to match Cluely and Clicky.

• Cluely-style bar: a slim glass bar that floats at the top of your screen and expands into a panel when it answers, instead of the old side panel.
• Clicky-style cursor: Guide mode now flies a glowing blue triangle to the button you need.

Auto-updates. Not code-signed — SmartScreen warns on first run. Windows 10 (2004+) / 11, x64.

0.1.6

Fix "page couldn't load": auto-retry the load instead of getting stuck

If the overlay's first load failed for any transient reason — network not ready
right after boot, a connection blip, a Vercel cold start — Electron showed its
"page couldn't load" error page permanently, with no recovery except fully
restarting the app.

Both windows now load through loadWithRetry: on a real load failure (ignoring
ERR_ABORTED) they show a small dark "Reconnecting to Cluely…" page and keep
retrying with backoff until the app loads, then reset. Verified end to end — it
shows the reconnecting page while unreachable and recovers on its own once the
URL is reachable again.

Bump to 0.1.6.

0.1.4

Add Guide mode: voice + a cursor that points at what to click

A HeyClicky-style tutor built on the existing screen capture and Claude vision:

- New "Guide me" mode in the overlay. Ask how to do something in the app that's
  open (video editing, design, a spreadsheet) and it reads your screen, gives a
  short numbered plan, and points at the next action.
- A full-screen, click-through cursor overlay window (electron) animates a
  pointer + pulsing ring + caption to the target, so you can still click through
  to the real app. Coordinates come from /api/guide as normalized fractions and
  are clamped server-side.
- Voice out: it speaks the guidance via the browser's speechSynthesis (free, no
  key); a mute toggle lives in the header.
- Voice in: a mic button and the Ctrl+Shift+G hotkey listen for a spoken
  question, then guide. Falls back to typing where speech recognition isn't
  available.

Verified end to end: Claude returned accurate coordinates for a known button and
the cursor rendered exactly on it.

Bump to 0.1.4.

0.1.3

Add screen vision and a glass overlay redesign

Screen vision (desktop) — pressing the hotkey now grabs a screenshot of the
primary display via desktopCapturer (overlay hides itself for the frame, long
edge capped at 1568px) and sends it to Claude, which reads it. The assist route
accepts an optional image and adds it as a vision block; the live system prompt
now answers about coding problems, slides, spreadsheets, or questions on screen.
Verified end to end — Claude correctly read a live game screen and answered.

Design — the overlay is now a dark glass panel: translucent blurred background,
hairline top sheen, soft brand glow, glassy pills and answer cards, a sparkle
badge, a "Screen" indicator, and a shimmering "Reading your screen…" chip while
capturing. The signed-out panel matches.

Bump to 0.1.2.
