What's new in 0.3.0

AI providers

  • More providers, selectable per prompt and for command mode: Claude Code CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Agy CLI, a custom shell command, Claude API, OpenAI API, Google Gemini API (keys stored in the Keychain), Apple Intelligence.
  • Settings › AI is split into Prompts and Command mode & assistant, each with its own provider and only that provider's settings. Web access (WebFetch/WebSearch) is available for Claude Code in command mode; prompts always run without tools.
  • claude -p runs with no tools by default (faster, cannot read local files).

Command mode & assistant

  • With text selected, ▶ or Control applies the dictated instruction to the selection. With nothing selected the dictation is a question to the assistant and the answer opens as a rendered Markdown document.
  • Selection detection fixed for Electron editors (VS Code).

Hotkeys

  • Dictation key selectable: 🌐 fn, left/right Command, left/right Option.
  • Optional double-press mode (two quick presses = start, press-release-hold = push-to-talk, single press does nothing).
  • Any other key within a second of fn cancels the recording silently, so fn+F12 and similar shortcuts keep working.
  • Prompt shortcuts: press a prompt's letter while recording to use it, Space for plain text.

HUD & feedback

  • Rotating rainbow border while transcribing / processing, left-to-right unfold on appear and a mirrored fold-away on hide (reversed on cancel), animated resizing.
  • Short, soft sounds on start / stop / cancel (toggle in settings).
  • Result window renders Markdown via swift-markdown (tables, GFM), remembers its frame.

Fixes

  • Recordings longer than 30 s are transcribed completely (Whisper timestamps kept).
  • Readable key legend in Settings › General › Hotkey.
