v1.1.0
A setup wizard, a movable notes folder, and a big reliability pass.
New
- First launch now opens a setup wizard: pick your notes folder, grant microphone and system audio access, connect the ChatGPT app, and watch the speech models download, all in one guided flow. You can re-run it any time from Help.
- Your notes folder is now yours to place. Settings > General can move the Simbi home anywhere; the app relaunches into the new location.
- Every agent's model picker gained a reasoning effort picker, fed by the live model list from the ChatGPT app.
Improved
- Codex status is now live everywhere. Signing in to the ChatGPT app clears the note banner, the sidebar footer, and the welcome card within seconds; previously only the welcome card noticed.
- The AI notes tab now reacts to changes on disk: a summary created or deleted outside the app (Finder, git, a chat thread) shows or hides the tab immediately.
- Chat sessions no longer list hidden junk like .DS_Store in their file inventory.
- The system audio banner now says what actually went wrong: permission denied and unsupported macOS get their own messages.
- If the ChatGPT app reports a reason when a file conversion fails, Simbi now records that reason instead of a generic error.
Under the hood
- Simbi now keeps a diagnostics log at ~/Library/Logs/Simbi/Simbi.log (also visible in Console). Failures that used to vanish silently, like a settings save or transcript write going wrong, are now recorded.
- A large internal cleanup: shared single owners for the audio pipeline's constants and the note folder layout, removal of dead code, and one implementation each for windows, pickers, and worker plumbing that previously existed in copies.
