Smarn 0.4.2

Adds a macOS application menu (Smarn / Edit / Window) so Settings… (⌘,), Memory… (⌘M) and Ask about the Screen are reachable without the tray icon or global hotkeys.

Smarn 0.4.1

Set your own global shortcuts for "Ask about the screen" and "Ask memory" in Settings → Shortcuts.

Updates are now checked by the app at launch and offered from the Settings window (and the overlay), so you no longer need to open the overlay to pick up a new version. Settings also gets a manual "Check for updates" button.

Smarn 0.4.0 — Run commands and insert into your terminal

FR-09 execution: run commands from an answer in a Smarn-owned terminal (Read runs at once, state-changing commands confirm first, destructive/production ones stay copy-only), Stop a live run, ask a follow-up about its output, or Insert the command into your own terminal (never pressing Enter).

Fixes:

• Settings and Memory windows reopen correctly after you close them.
• Inserting into the terminal now prompts for Accessibility instead of silently typing nothing.

Apple Silicon, signed + notarized. Updates arrive automatically for existing installs.

Smarn 0.3.0

Ask your memory (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+).

• ⌥⇧Space — ask about what you saw earlier. The overlay opens in Memory mode: no screenshot; your question is answered from the best-matching captures' text and cites them as [1], [2]… Click a source to open it in the Memory window.
• Spoken answers (Settings → AI → Speak answers aloud; off by default). On-device voice, nothing uploaded.
• Settings → AI: provider and model, plus this month's calls, tokens and estimated cost.
• Only redacted text ever leaves the Mac; images never do in Memory mode.

Existing installs update automatically.

Smarn 0.2.0

Local screenshot memory (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+).

• Memory: every capture you ask about is now kept on your Mac — image + on-screen text — and searchable with no AI involved. Open it from the menu-bar icon → Memory… or press ⌥⇧Space. Search by app ("whatsapp"), by text on screen (an error message), filter by date; click a capture for the full image and its text; forget any capture.
• Settings → Memory: turn remembering on/off (on by default), see how much is stored, open Memory, or delete everything.
• Nothing in memory is uploaded anywhere. Only redacted text is stored.

Existing installs update automatically.

Smarn 0.1.1

Onboarding release (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+).

• New Welcome to Smarn window on first launch: what Smarn captures and where it goes, a live permission checklist with Grant / Open Settings, and in-app Anthropic API key entry (stored in your Keychain). Also reachable from the menu-bar icon → Settings…
• No more surprise Input Monitoring prompt at launch; voice permissions are granted from the window when you want them.
• Debug logging removed.

Existing 0.1.0 installs update automatically (you'll see a “Restart to update” chip).

Smarn 0.1.0

First internal build (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+).

• Ask about what's on screen: screenshot + on-device OCR + Claude (bring your own Anthropic key)
• Push-to-talk voice (hold Right Option), on-device speech-to-text
• Typed response blocks; commands are risk-rated by a deterministic gate — nothing runs without you

Install: open the .dmg, drag Smarn to Applications. On first launch grant Screen Recording, Accessibility and (for voice) Microphone + Input Monitoring in System Settings → Privacy & Security, then relaunch.
