Rice 0.2.0

New

  • Windows (preview): installer for Windows 10 22H2 / 11 (x64). No echo cancellation yet (use headphones); calendar via Google only.
  • Screenshots triggered by the conversation (optional, off by default): when someone says "let me share my screen" or "look at this chart", Rice takes a screenshot ~2 s later, links it to that sentence in the transcript and can cite it in the notes. Works with CLI subscriptions too (the decision is made from text). Manual capture: camera button or ⌘⇧S.
  • Search the web in chat: globe button in "Ask Rice", off by default and per conversation; sources shown as links. Each provider only gets its search tool, never a shell.
  • Record now on Home for calendar meetings happening now or starting within 10 minutes; "Prep notes" for later ones.
  • Updating: ./update.sh for git clones, and a daily, anonymous check that shows "New version available" in Settings › Updates (can be turned off).

Fixes

  • A meeting started from the "meeting is starting" notification now shows as recording in the sidebar.
  • Smaller app (the package no longer includes build leftovers).

Install

  • macOS (Apple Silicon): download Rice-0.2.0-arm64.dmg, drag Rice to Applications, then run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Rice.app (the app is not notarized by Apple). You still need brew install whisper.cpp.
  • Windows: run Rice-Setup-0.2.0-x64.exe; on the SmartScreen warning choose More info › Run anyway.
  • From source: git pull && ./install.sh once; afterwards ./update.sh.
