Tacet Assistant leaves beta, Deep research arrives, and the browser gets a lot better
- Tacet Assistant is no longer a beta. One tidy line says what it's doing (Searching the web, Reading 3 pages, Thinking…) with the time; click it to see every step. Replies have headings, lists, tables and code you can copy, sources as chips, Copy and Ask Again
- Deep research (beta): the binoculars button below the chat box, Quick, Standard or Thorough. Tacet plans the question, searches from several angles at once, reads the best pages, keeps only notes backed by the page's exact words, counts a fact as confirmed when two sites agree, and writes a report with its sources and what remains uncertain. Stop keeps what it found; Export Report saves Markdown or PDF
- Answers you can check: links to pages the assistant never read are dimmed and marked. It reads PDFs and pages built with JavaScript, and can search with SearXNG or Brave Search
- Models on your Mac (Ollama, LM Studio) get the context they need, so the instructions are never cut off; Settings › AI shows it
- Yours: personal instructions, an optional memory (saved only when you click Save), @ to send open tabs with a question, search inside every saved chat, pinned chats, tokens under each answer
- Pages can't take over: alerts wait their turn in their own window and can be silenced; camera and microphone marks on tabs; sound from embedded players shows on the tab
- Command bar and Find: addresses completed as you type, unit conversions, Switch to Tab; Find shows "3 of 12", Match Case, Whole Words and ⌘E
- History searches every word of titles and addresses, ranked by how often and how recently you went there
- Screenshots of the whole page (⌥⇧⌘S) or of one element; Site Information with permissions, pop-ups, Tacet Shield and Clear Data
- Privacy and sign-ins: anti-fingerprinting that sites can't detect, saved passwords in sign-in boxes inside pages, a proxy per profile, "Site not working?" in Tacet Shield
- Also: blocked pop-ups say so, Tabs closed with Undo, Quick Look in Downloads, a search field in Settings, the sidebar by keyboard (⌥⌘↓), VoiceOver for tabs, and Tacet asks before reopening windows after an unexpected quit
If you already use Tacet, it updates itself. New install: open the .dmg, drag Tacet to Applications, and if macOS says it's damaged run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Tacet.app once.
