Charts come through. Charts that a site draws with its own styling (bar charts, legends, CSS-coloured SVG charts) used to arrive as bare text in an Open Link copy. They're now saved as pictures of how the page draws them, with their captions kept as text.

Formulas stay in their sentences. Maths drawn as SVG (as Wikipedia now does) no longer breaks onto its own lines.

Known limit: Wikipedia's numbered display equations (Eq. 1, Eq. 2) still come out blank.

Also in 0.9.3: drop a link onto a Glossa window or its Dock icon, or use Services › Open Link in Glossa.

All features unlocked while in beta. Requires macOS 14+. Install: open the DMG, drag Glossa to Applications, open it once, then System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.

Drop a link onto Glossa. Drag a link from your browser onto a Glossa window or its Dock icon and it opens like File › Open Link… (⇧⌘O). You can also select a link in any app and choose Services › Open Link in Glossa. PDFs dragged from Finder onto the Library open too.

Also in 0.9.2: Open Link handles framed pages, card grids, images, scroll-revealed content, charts, collapsed sections, plain http:// sites and text files.

All features unlocked while in beta. Requires macOS 14+. Install: open the DMG, drag Glossa to Applications, open it once, then System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.

Open Link, tested on dozens of real sites. File › Open Link… (⇧⌘O) now handles far more of the web:

  • Pages built as a full-screen frame, card grids and index pages are saved whole, like ⌘P, instead of as one screen.
  • Images always come through (they no longer print as blank gaps), and small icons stay inside the sentence.
  • Content that appears as you scroll or fades in, collapsed sections and script-drawn charts are all captured.
  • Plain http:// sites and plain-text files (RFCs, Project Gutenberg) open too; text files are titled by their first line.

Also in 0.9.1: open any PDF link, arXiv paper or web article; Ollama thinking models (Qwen3) answer straight away.

All features unlocked while in beta. Requires macOS 14+. Install: open the DMG, drag Glossa to Applications, open it once, then System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.

New: open any link. File › Open Link… (⇧⌘O) opens a PDF link, an arXiv paper (by page, PDF link or ID), or any blog post or article. Articles are saved as a clean, paginated PDF with a link back to the original, so highlights, chats and page citations work as in any PDF. A one-click browser bookmark is on the support page.

Better local AI. With Ollama, thinking models such as Qwen3 now answer straight away. The setup guide now recommends qwen3:1.7b-q8_0, which beat Apple Intelligence in our tests.

All features unlocked while in beta. Requires macOS 14+. Install: open the DMG, drag Glossa to Applications, open it once, then System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.
