Parrocchettami 1.1.0

Parrocchettami 1.1

Parrocchettami 1.1 is a substantial native macOS redesign. It brings a clearer sidebar workflow, richer transcript tools, reliable interface zoom, and a recording experience that stays in context from start to finish.

Highlights

• A new native sidebar for starting transcriptions, searching history, and reopening recent work.
• Redesigned file and microphone source cards with an in-place recording experience.
• A polished transcript document with Rich Text, Timestamped, and SRT modes.
• Bold, italic, and underline formatting in a persistent native text editor.
• Contextual transcript search, match highlighting, one-click copy, and export.
• Inline transcript renaming that stays synchronized with the sidebar.
• Word and character counts plus duration, language, and format metadata.
• Crisp app-wide zoom with ⌘+, ⌘−, and ⌘0, including compact-window support.
• More coherent Liquid Glass controls, subtle physical button feedback, and Reduce Motion support.

Reliability improvements

• More resilient parsing of noisy and pretty-printed parakeet-cli output.
• Explicit timestamp requests for Timestamped and SRT output.
• Better handling of newer token-based CLI output and legacy plain-text output.
• Clearer validation and diagnostics for malformed OPUS audio.
• Hardened packaging and signing checks for Sparkle, parakeet-cli, opusdec, and bundled libraries.

Requirements

• macOS 14 or later
• Apple Silicon
• All transcription remains local and offline

Parrocchettami 1.0.11

Security

• Restrict subprocess environments — parakeet-cli, opusdec, and afconvert no longer inherit your full shell environment. Only PARROCCHETTAMI_HOME, PATH, and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH are passed. Compromised subprocesses cannot access shell secrets or tokens.
• Block system opusdec fallback — during transcription, only the bundled opusdec is used. System paths like /opt/homebrew/bin/opusdec are no longer searched, preventing compromised system binaries from being executed.
• Restrictive file permissions — the transcription history file and its directory now get chmod 600/700. Only the owning user can read saved transcriptions.
• Explicit App Transport Security — Info.plist now declares NSAllowsArbitraryLoads: false, documenting the app's HTTPS-only network posture.
• Document disable-library-validation — the entitlement rationale and risk containment (dylibs loaded only by opusdec subprocess, not main app) is now documented in the entitlements file.
• Sparkle 2.9.4..<3.0.0 — unpinned from exact 2.9.4 so security patches in 2.9.x are picked up by swift package update.

Bug Fixes

• Keyboard shortcuts during recording — space and return now correctly toggle pause/resume while recording.
• Cancel race condition — starting a new transcription immediately after cancel is now correctly blocked until the previous subprocess terminates.
• Delete confirmation — individual history entry deletion now shows a confirmation dialog. No more accidental permanent deletes.
• Resumable model downloads — cancelled model downloads now save resume data. Restarting picks up where you left off instead of downloading 740MB from scratch.
• Preserve recording on failure — if CAF-to-WAV conversion fails, the raw recording file is kept instead of being silently deleted.
• Async version check — readParakeetVersion now uses async ProcessRunner instead of blocking the main actor.
