OpenNotch 0.1.1 — a smarter assistant, auto-updates, a new look and a livelier Puff.

Install

  1. Download OpenNotch.dmg below, open it, and drag OpenNotch to Applications.
  2. First launch: builds aren't notarised by Apple yet, so open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway (once).
  3. Connect an AI in Settings › AI.

From now on OpenNotch updates itself (notch menu › Check for Updates…). If you have 0.1.0, download this one by hand once — 0.1.0 had no updater. macOS may ask once to let OpenNotch use its saved API key; click Always Allow.

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash when the assistant used a tool with a number or on/off setting (for example "Plan my day").
  • OpenRouter accounts with a low balance no longer get "requires more credits" on every request.
  • The morning brief now really checks your calendar, mail and weather, and no longer retries every minute when it fails.

A smarter assistant

  • Knows the current time ("remind me in 2 hours" works), runs independent lookups in parallel, and treats text from web pages and emails as information, never instructions.
  • Allow for this chat on approvals: one click covers a program (say, git) or a project folder until you switch chats.
  • Memory you approve: after a chat Ledge may suggest facts to remember — saved only if you click Save (see them in Settings › AI › Memory). It can also search your earlier chats and keeps long chats coherent with summaries.
  • Optional Brave Search / Tavily keys for steadier web search; cleaner page reading; one-tap follow-up suggestions; a "Ready" ear when an answer finishes while the notch is closed; read-only tools for Apple's on-device model.

A new look and a livelier Ledge

  • SF Pro Expanded titles, a colour for every module, and icons that react when you hover.
  • Liveliness (Settings › General): Ledge offers to explain an error or summarise a link you copied, suggests a break after a long stretch, and catches you up when you come back. Quiet during calls, full-screen apps and at night.
  • Puff now has a body: it sits beside the closed notch with little arms and feet — waves, stretches, types along with you, dances to your music, naps when you're away, and sometimes walks behind the camera.
