Sotto 3.3.3
A new look
- New icon. Sotto's mark now sits on a warm burnt-amber gradient — in the taskbar, the tray, the installer, and inside the app. (If a pinned shortcut still shows the old purple icon after installing, unpin and re-pin it; Windows caches shortcut icons.)
- One widget, refined. The floating widget is the pill again — and only the pill; the widget style setting introduced in 3.3.2 is gone. While recording, the pill leads with the Sotto mark and animates seven teal bars on a staggered loop, with the capsule rim tinted teal for as long as the mic is live or a transcript is being typed. With reduced motion on, the bars hold as a steady row.
macOS (Apple Silicon) support
Sotto now runs on Apple silicon Macs (macOS 11+), delivered as Sotto-3.3.3-arm64.dmg. Apple silicon only — Intel Macs are not supported.
The Mac build is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so the first launch may be blocked by Gatekeeper. Either:
- open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway, or
- run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Sotto.appin Terminal.
License
Sotto now ships with an explicit freeware license (LICENSE.md): free to install and use, share it only via unmodified official installers or a link to the official releases, no distribution of modified versions. The source remains public for inspection.
Windows install note
The Windows installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen may prompt — choose More info → Run anyway. Installs per-user; no admin rights needed.
Checksums
SHA-256 checksums for the installer and disk image are in SHA256SUMS.txt.
