BreakPoint Release Notes

Version 1.1.0

BreakPoint is a macOS menu bar utility for capturing a Doom's Moment before stepping away from work. It gathers screen context, enriches it with Pieces long-term memory, generates a structured handoff, and exports to one or more destinations you choose.

Highlights

Settings refactor

  • Capture tab — generation mode only (Normal, ADHD, Code Mode, Extra)
  • Export tab — pick any combination of File, Notes, and Obsidian; export folder; Obsidian vault path; search tags
  • Obsidian tab — Enable Obsidian mode toggle unlocks output templates (handoff, last-hour capture, end of day, morning briefing)
  • AI tab — enable/disable AI generation; choose fallback provider
  • Pieces tab — Pieces OS REST URL, Pieces MCP URL, connection tests

Obsidian mode (generation templates) and Obsidian export (vault append) are separate. You can use one without the other.

AI providers

  • Toggle Enable AI Generation on or off
  • Fallback providers: Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter
  • Per-provider API keys, models, and connectivity test
  • Pieces QGPT remains the primary path when available; AI providers are the structured fallback

Pieces MCP

  • Configurable MCP URL (defaults to Cursor's Pieces server path)
  • Ranked memory search during capture when Pieces is enabled

Obsidian export

  • Append captures to YYYY-MM-DD.md in your vault or subfolder
  • Frontmatter, timestamped section headers, and template-aware generation when Obsidian mode is on

Menu bar polish

  • Crisp programmatic menu bar bomb icon (template-friendly on light and dark menu bars)
  • Last Capture submenu: Copy Text, Copy Path, Reveal
  • Global hotkey: Cmd + Shift + Escape

Setup Requirements

  • macOS 14.0 or later
  • Recommended: Pieces OS running (primary generation + MCP memory)
  • Optional: Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter for AI fallback
  • Optional: Obsidian vault path when Obsidian is selected as an export destination

Notes For Users

  • If Notes export is enabled, macOS may ask for Automation permissions.
  • Screenshot OCR requires Screen Recording permission.
  • Obsidian export needs a valid vault path and the Obsidian destination checked in Export.
  • Large cloud models may take longer than small local Ollama models.

Migration From 1.0.0

  • Old single export presets (File, Notes, File + Notes) migrate to the new multi-select destinations automatically.
  • The former Save captures to Obsidian vault toggle becomes the Obsidian export destination.
  • Output templates now require Enable Obsidian mode on the Obsidian tab.

Known Limitations

  • Apple Notes export depends on local macOS automation permissions.
  • Release builds may show AppIcon asset warnings in Xcode; the distributed DMG remains valid when signed and notarized.
