Bridge AI 3.9.2

A computer that drops off the network is noticed in seconds, with another of yours a tap away; meetings you can mention to an agent; several files open in Files; a top bar that fits a laptop's window; and a speaker to turn notification sounds off.

What's new

• A computer that drops off the network is noticed in seconds. When a Mac's Wi-Fi went, or its lid closed on the move, nothing told its relay, and the phone waited on it: no word, and everything you tapped hung. Now the phone asks the computer itself. Within about 10 seconds a banner says it isn't answering, shows what it last sent, and has Open for another of your computers that's on, beside Start screen. Once it's been quiet for 40 seconds, its relay says it's offline, and since when. Your linked computers notice each other the same way.
• Back as soon as the network is. A computer with no network tries its relay again every few seconds, not up to a minute apart, and your other computers link to it again as soon as it's back.
• A speaker in the top bar turns notification sounds off on all your devices: the Mac app's, a browser's and your phone's. Notifications still come, without a sound. Click it again to turn sounds back on.
• A top bar that fits. With a lot going on, its chips give way a step at a time (the clock, then usage's details, the weather, the meeting, the rest of usage), so Settings is never pushed off a laptop's window. The meeting you're recording no longer shows twice.
• Mention a meeting to an agent. In an agent's message box, type @ and a word of a meeting's name, and pick it: the agent gets the meeting to read, with its summary and action items, your notes and the transcript. Settings › Meetings › Mention a Meeting changes the key (# lists only meetings, the latest first).
• Several files open in Files, a tab each above the file: click one to bring it back, × to close it. Each agent's Files remembers where you were (the folders open, the files open, the one in front, the place picked) when you leave and come back, or reload, on this computer and when you look at another one.

Fixes

• Switching to another computer that went quiet, from the devices menu or in a window, no longer waits up to a minute and a half: the first thing you ask that gets no answer checks the link, and within seconds it connects again and what you asked comes. The phone coming back from the background no longer cuts its own link to your computer either (it sent with the old connection's keys on the new one).
• Another computer in a window of its own no longer shows an error as its page, or stays white, when the link between your computers drops as it opens: what was on its way is asked for again once the link is back. When that computer isn't reachable, the window says so and opens it by itself as soon as it's back.

After this update

• Update Bridge AI on each of your computers. One on an older version can't answer the phone's question, so the phone notices it's gone only when its relay does.
• The iPhone app gets the phone's side of this with its next App Store version. Until then, its relay already says when a computer has gone quiet.

The Android app is Bridge-AI-android.apk: open it on your phone to install it, or to update the one you have. It isn't on Google Play yet.

The Mac app needs macOS 14 or later. Checksums (SHA-256) are in SHA256SUMS.txt.
