v3.6.3.6
Applio for Mac v3.6.3.6
This release adds a real-time Process Dashboard for following training runs, reworks the native menu bar, and moves the app to a single-process architecture that fixes the window and menu quirks of the old two-process layout.
Built on Applio 3.6.3. The app is signed and notarized; download the DMG and open it directly. No xattr -cr workaround needed.
Process Dashboard
The main addition in this release. Training a voice model takes time, and until now you had to dig through log files to follow a run. The new Process Dashboard (Process -> Open Progress Dashboard, or ⌘⇧P) is a live window that shows how a training run is going and keeps finished runs so you can revisit them.
- Training at a glance. While a run is active, see the current and total epoch, the step, training speed, and a derived ETA, with a progress bar for the current epoch.
- Find your best model. The dashboard plots evaluation loss across every epoch and highlights the epochs where loss dropped significantly. Green markers call out the runs that mattered, so the checkpoint worth keeping is easy to spot. Your best epoch and its loss stay visible at the top.
- Control the job without leaving the dashboard. Stop, Pause/Resume, Reveal the log in Finder, or Open the log, all from an action bar.
- Your best epoch is saved. Best-epoch metrics are written to history, so they survive restarting the app and even re-training the same model later. When no job is running, you can browse the metrics of finished runs.
- It opens itself. Start a training job and the dashboard comes up on its own.
Overhauled menu bar
The native macOS menu has been reworked to feel like a proper Mac app:
- One consistent menu across the app, with new Process and Help menus.
- Reveal in Finder for logs, datasets, audios, models, and the other data folders; back and working.
- Hide (⌘H) and Minimize (⌘M) now behave correctly.
- A real Check for Updates that queries GitHub Releases, plus a silent check at launch that only notifies you if a newer version is out. Version comparison is fixed, so it no longer flags a downgrade as an update.
- The Studio Production Guide is bundled under Help.
Now runs as a single process
Applio for Mac used to run as two cooperating processes: one owned the dock icon and menu bar, the other owned the window. It worked, but it came with two quirks that had been there from the start: the Hide command did not hide the Gradio window, and the menu bar could appear to swap depending on which window was frontmost.
This release merges everything into one process, and that is now the default. Both quirks are gone: Hide hides the window, the menu bar stays put, and the app behaves like one coherent Mac application with a single dock icon, one menu, and one window. Training, reopening, quitting, and the dashboard all work in this mode.
The old two-process layout is still around as a fallback. If you ever need it, set APPLIO_SINGLE_PROCESS=0 (for example, launchctl setenv APPLIO_SINGLE_PROCESS 0 before opening the app).
