Gloss v1.0.2

Gloss v1.0.2

A small refinement to the export flow.

What's Changed

• Simpler export response styles. The four presets (Answer / Revise /
  Fact-check / Custom) are now just Default and Custom. Default prepends
  "Please address each item below using its ID."; choose Custom to write your
  own framing instruction. This keeps the packet lean — add more context to the
  LLM yourself when you need it.

Includes the v1.0.1 fix (typing a note no longer breaks on the letter "n").

Install

macOS

Download Gloss-1.0.2.dmg, open it, and drag Gloss.app to Applications.

This macOS build is unsigned and Apple-silicon only. On first launch, use
right-click -> Open or System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open Anyway.
After the first approved launch, normal double-click launching should work.

Android

Install the tester APK with:

adb install -r Gloss-android-debug.apk

The Android APK is debug-signed and intended only for private tester installs.

Checksums

See SHA256SUMS.txt in the release assets.

Known Limitations

• macOS build is unsigned and Apple silicon only.
• Android build is a debug APK, not a Play Store or release-signed build.
• PDF import uploads PDFs to Mathpix only when the user actively imports a PDF.
• Mathpix API credentials saved inside Gloss are stored in plain text. Using the
  mpx CLI keeps credentials outside Gloss.

Gloss v1.0.1

Gloss v1.0.1

A small patch release that fixes note capture in the desktop reader.

What's Fixed

• Typing a note no longer breaks on the letter "n". Previously, a bare n
  keypress while text was selected was treated as an "open a blank note"
  shortcut, so typing a word like "can" discarded what you'd typed and opened an
  empty note. That shortcut has been removed — every keystroke, n included, is
  now captured straight into the note. Press Enter to open a blank note.
