What's new in 2.9.0

Listening glow

  • The recording pill now shows a soft animated glow while your hotkey is held — choose Rainbow, White, or Orange in Settings.
  • The glow carries through to the Answers pill and the expanded answer card, so you always know when Yappy is listening.

Answers: much better spoken replies

  • New voice speed setting: Relaxed, Normal, Brisk, or Quick.
  • Tables are read naturally (cells joined into sentences, long tables summarized) instead of line by line.
  • Dates, times, temperatures, comparisons, abbreviations, and dozens of other text shapes now speak correctly ("Tue Jul 15" no longer becomes "Too jool"; "-5°F", "3 hrs", "w/o", "St. Louis", "1920x1080", "#1", "Boston–NYC" and more all read the way you'd say them).
  • Emoji are no longer named aloud, markdown symbols are never spoken, and code-only answers announce the code block instead of reciting it.
  • The model's opening narration ("I'll look up...") shows while it works but disappears from the card and the voice once the answer arrives; sources are no longer read aloud.
  • Speech starts sooner after the first words stream in, and a single bad chunk no longer silences the rest of the answer.

Fixes

  • Selecting Grok as the Answers model right after logging into the CLI now takes effect immediately.
  • Pressing Stop while the voice is speaking no longer pins the conversation.
  • Fixed answers occasionally arriving truncated when the agent asked for search permissions.

Install

Download the DMG, drag Yappy to Applications, and open it. On first launch, grant Microphone and Accessibility in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Existing installs update automatically via Sparkle.
