Zotivity 1.1.1

Fixed

• Scrolling with two fingers no longer zooms. During a two-finger scroll on a touchpad, Windows also reports small scaling movements. They added up across gestures until the interface zoomed, most noticeably in long lists such as the collections of a corpus. Now only a deliberate pinch within one gesture zooms.

Changed

• Buttons that start a language model are violet, for example AI suggestion, Create evaluation sheets, Write sections and Shorten. Send in Ask stays blue, and so do buttons that only apply a suggestion.
• Settings → Setup: the button leading on to the Guide is always highlighted.

Install (Windows)

Download Zotivity-Setup-1.1.1.exe below and run it (per user, no admin rights). Check the download against Zotivity-Setup-1.1.1.exe.sha256. The installer is built by GitHub Actions from the source code of this release and is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns ("Unknown publisher"): click More info → Run anyway. If that option is missing (e.g. on managed PCs), right-click the file → Properties → tick Unblock → OK, then start it again.

Then enable Zotero's local API (Zotero → Settings → Advanced) and follow the setup checklist.

Please note

• Zotivity is vibe-coded: it was written by Claude (Anthropic) in Claude Code and tested in daily use, not reviewed line by line by a human developer.
• Use it as a tool, not as a replacement for your own scholarly work – read the sources, verify critically and do not submit generated text as your own. See the README section on the risk of deskilling.
