Gloss v1.0.0

Gloss v1.0.0

Gloss v1 is the first public release: a local-first app for reading, annotating,
and exporting research documents into a structured packet for an LLM.

What's Included

• Apple-silicon macOS desktop app packaged as Gloss-1.0.0.dmg.
• Android markdown-only companion APK packaged as Gloss-android-debug.apk.
• Markdown, LaTeX, and PDF import on desktop, with PDF conversion via Mathpix.
• Reader annotations modeled as notes on desktop and Android, including selected text capture and export.
• Export flow for turning annotations into structured study/review material.
• Reader polish: improved inline/display math rendering, annotation highlights,
  outline/annotation navigation, and configurable reader appearance.
• Refreshed app icon and DMG packaging.

Install

macOS

Download Gloss-1.0.0.dmg, open it, and drag Gloss.app to Applications.

This macOS build is unsigned. 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.
