What's New in v0.20.6-beta.7

This release focuses on improving Windows reliability, particularly the automatic update and restart process.

Improved Automatic Updates

The Windows in-app update system has been improved to provide a smoother installation experience.

When an update is available, users can select Restart and install to initiate the update process.

The application now:

• Downloads the available update.
• Requests a silent installation for supported updates.
• Installs the downloaded version.
• Automatically reopens ryxnontop after installation.
• Preserves existing application settings, API keys, and conversation history during the tested update process.

Update Compatibility

The installer now recognizes update-triggered restarts from earlier beta versions.

This allows supported earlier beta clients to receive the improved update behaviour without requiring a completely separate manual installation.

Regular manual installations continue to use the existing assisted setup process.

Reliability Improvements

The beta also builds on previous Windows-specific improvements, including:

• More consistent Windows integration.
• Improved API credential validation and error reporting.
• Refined clipboard handling.
• Clearer AI provider error messages.
• Improved capture permission handling.
• Better application restart and update behaviour.

Testing and Stability

This release has undergone automated testing and targeted Windows update validation.

Automated Testing

All 133 automated tests passed on the native Windows test runner.

In-App Update Testing

The update from v0.20.6-beta.6 to v0.20.6-beta.7 was successfully tested using Windows in Parallels.

During testing:

• The application detected and downloaded the update.
• The update installed successfully.
• ryxnontop reopened automatically.
• The installed application reported v0.20.6-beta.7.
• Saved API keys remained intact.
• Existing application history was preserved.
• The Ask feature was confirmed working on beta.6 before updating.

These results confirm that the tested update process works as intended.

However, broader real-world testing is still required for:

• Different Windows devices and configurations.
• Microphone and system audio capture.
• Screen capture and application permissions.
• Compatibility with supported AI providers.
• Long-term application stability.
• Additional installation and update scenarios.

This remains an experimental beta release, and unexpected issues may occur.

Windows Security and Signing

The current Windows release is distributed as an unsigned application installer.

It has not yet been digitally signed using a trusted Windows code-signing certificate.

As a result, Windows SmartScreen or your browser may display a warning because the application does not currently have an established publisher identity.

These warnings do not automatically indicate malicious software, but they also do not establish that an installer is safe.

Users should verify that the file was downloaded from the official ryxnontop GitHub repository and check its published checksum before installation.

Obtaining trusted code signing and improving the installation experience are goals for future releases.

First-Time Setup

ryxnontop connects to supported AI services using API credentials that you provide.

1. Configure Your AI Provider

1. Launch ryxnontop.
2. Navigate to Settings > AI & keys.
3. Choose your preferred supported AI provider.
4. Enter your API key.
5. Select Test API Connection to verify your configuration.

2. Configure Live Transcription

1. Open Settings > Listen.
2. Enter your Deepgram API key.
3. Save your configuration.
4. Test the transcription feature to confirm it is functioning correctly.

3. Grant Required Permissions

Depending on the features you enable, Windows may request access to:

• Microphone
• Audio capture
• Screen content
• Other system capabilities required by the application

Only grant permissions for features you intend to use.

4. Start Using ryxnontop

After configuring your AI provider, transcription service, and required permissions, you can begin exploring the application.

Automatic Updates

ryxnontop supports in-app updates for compatible Windows beta releases.

When an update is available:

1. Open ryxnontop.
2. Review the available update notification.
3. Choose Restart and install when ready.
4. The application will attempt to download and install the update.
5. Once the update is complete, ryxnontop should reopen automatically.

Important: Automatic update functionality has been validated for the beta.6-to-beta.7 upgrade path. Other versions and configurations may behave differently.

Users can also manually download newer releases from the official GitHub Releases page.

API Usage and Privacy

The ryxnontop application is free to download and use.

However, supported AI and transcription providers may charge for API usage.

• Users provide and manage their own API credentials.
• API usage and billing are handled by the respective service providers.
• Available free tiers, usage limits, and pricing depend on each provider.
• The application requires user-provided credentials for supported services.
• Users can manage application settings and capture permissions.
• API keys and passwords should never be shared in bug reports or public discussions.

ryxnontop is designed to provide a flexible AI desktop experience without requiring a separate subscription for the application itself.

Support and Bug Reports

ryxnontop is an independently developed project, and feedback is especially valuable during beta testing.

If you encounter installation problems, unexpected behaviour, update failures, or compatibility issues, please get in touch.

Never include API keys, passwords, or other sensitive credentials in bug reports.

Download Integrity — SHA-256

You can verify the integrity of your downloaded installer using its published SHA-256 checksum.

File: ryxnontop-0.20.6-beta.7-Windows-Setup.exe

Verify Using PowerShell

Open PowerShell and run:

Get-FileHash "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\ryxnontop-0.20.6-beta.7-Windows-Setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the resulting hash with the checksum published in the release assets:

ryxnontop-0.20.6-beta.7-Windows-Setup.exe.sha256

Both values should match exactly.

If they do not match, do not run the installer. Download a fresh copy from the official GitHub release.

Important: macOS Security Warning

Because ryxnontop has not yet been signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate or notarized by Apple, macOS may prevent the application from opening automatically.

You may encounter the following warning:

"ryxnontop" Not Opened

Apple could not verify "ryxnontop" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

This warning indicates that Apple has not verified the application through its standard notarization process. It does not necessarily indicate malware, but it also does not establish that the app is safe.

Please read the following instructions carefully.

How to Open ryxnontop on Mac

If you downloaded ryxnontop from the official GitHub release, verified the download, and trust the application, macOS provides a manual option to approve its first launch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Open ryxnontop

• Open your Applications folder.
• Double-click ryxnontop.app.
• macOS may display a message saying that Apple cannot verify the application.
• Leave the verification warning displayed while opening System Settings. If necessary, click Done to close the warning first.

Step 2 — Open Privacy & Security

• Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
• Select System Settings.
• Navigate to Privacy & Security.
• Scroll down to the Security section.

Step 3 — Locate the Blocked Application

• Look for the security message indicating that ryxnontop was blocked from opening.
• The Open Anyway option should appear after you have attempted to launch the application.
• Select Open Anyway if you have independently verified and trust the application.

Step 4 — Confirm the Application

• macOS may display another confirmation window.
• Review the warning.
• If you still wish to proceed, select Open or Open Anyway, as displayed.
• Enter your Mac login password or authenticate if requested.

Step 5 — Launch ryxnontop

Once approved, ryxnontop should open normally.

macOS will generally remember this approval, allowing you to launch the application from your Applications folder without repeating the process.

Important Notes

• You must attempt to open ryxnontop before the Open Anyway option becomes available.
• The option is generally available for approximately one hour after the blocked launch attempt.
• If the option is missing, try opening the application again and return to Privacy & Security.
• You do not need to disable Gatekeeper or change your system-wide security settings.
• Do not override warnings stating that the application contains malware, will damage your Mac, or has been tampered with.

Security notice: Only consider overriding the verification warning when you trust the source and have verified the downloaded file. Software that has not completed Apple's notarization process may carry additional security risks.

For more information, read [Apple's official instructions for opening apps safely](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445).

Future Improvements

I am currently working toward obtaining Apple Developer ID signing and notarization so that future releases can provide a more streamlined installation experience.
