PickScribe v0.2.1
PickScribe now ships for Apple silicon macOS, with an unsigned app bundle available through the curl installer and in-app updates backed by a combined Linux/macOS latest.json manifest.
Highlights
- Full macOS dictation loop: native microphone capture, clipboard delivery with ⌘V, a configurable global shortcut (⌘⇧Space by default), native audio cues, and appearance-aware tray icons.
- No-sudo curl installer for
~/Applications/PickScribe.app, including idempotent updates and safe replacement with backup and restoration. - Apple silicon updater artifacts now ship alongside Linux artifacts in one update manifest.
Fixes
- Fixed the installer for macOS's Bash 3.2 by removing parser-incompatible syntax (#57).
- Fixed Whisper model detection for English-only
.enmodels and otherggml-*.binvariants (#74). - Fixed parallel file-transcription tests occasionally colliding on temporary directories (#75).
- Added
Dropcleanup for active recordings so exiting or abandoning a recording cannot leave the capture child process running.
macOS signing notice
The macOS build is unsigned because Pickforge does not yet have an Apple Developer ID. Installs made through the curl installer avoid Gatekeeper quarantine. Apps downloaded through a browser are quarantined by macOS and may need to be opened with right-click → Open or have the quarantine attribute cleared manually.
