New in 0.6.1
Fixes for Ask AI:
- Signing in on a company's website works. "Sign in with Google", Apple or Microsoft opens its sign-in window instead of failing.
- A way back. Back, Home and Reload buttons sit above the website, with Back to Glance chat, so a sign-in page or link can't leave you stuck.
- Files open again after using a website. Opening documents stopped working once a company website had been shown.
- F5 and Ctrl+R no longer reload Glance and throw away open documents (Ctrl+R still rotates pages).
- Gemini opens its website, where you sign in with Google. Google no longer lets its Gemini helper app sign in with a personal account.
- Switching AI company and back keeps the model list working, and switching mid-answer no longer leaves the sidebar stuck.
- The model list is readable in dark mode, each company shows its logo, and the Ask AI button has a purple sparkle.
Install help
Windows. Run the installer; it installs for your account only, without administrator rights. SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher because releases aren't code-signed yet: click More info → Run anyway. To open PDFs or images with Glance, pick it in Settings → Apps → Default apps → Glance. Needs Windows 10 (1809+) or 11; the installer fetches WebView2 if it's missing.
Check a download. Its SHA-256 hash is in SHA256SUMS.txt: run Get-FileHash in PowerShell.
Which processor? Most PCs are Intel or AMD. ARM means Snapdragon laptops, Surface Pro X and similar; on Windows, Settings → System → About → System type says which.
