What's new
- Smarter tool picking — with Apple Intelligence on, Apple's on-device model helps OpenNotch pick the right tools for oddly worded requests ("crank up the tunes", "is it going to pour later?"). Free and private; it only runs when the usual keyword matching finds nothing. Settings › AI › Tool picking (Apple, Jev via OpenRouter as a paid opt-in, or keywords only).
- Questions with buttons — when a choice is yours ("which Sam?"), the assistant asks with up to four buttons. Click, press ⌘1–⌘4, type your own answer, or say it in hands-free mode.
- What changed — when the assistant writes or edits files, the answer ends with a card of those files (lines added/removed): open them, show in Finder, drag them out or put them on the Shelf.
- Watchers — "let me know when Priya replies", "tell me when it's back in stock": it checks in the background with read-only tools and drops a notice from the notch when it happens (or when it can't keep checking).
- Many lookups in one step — the assistant can run a small sandboxed script that calls read-only tools together (weather for ten cities, the first lines of every file in a folder).
- Checks its own work — written files are read back; new calendar events and reminders are looked up after saving (and it tells you which calendar or list).
- Safer commands — shell commands no longer see secrets from the app's environment; long outputs are saved in full to private, uniquely named files.
