Release Codenotch 1.7.0 · vinzdg/codenotch

Speaks Chinese, watches local models think, and stays welded to the edge.

What's new

简体中文 — a Language picker in Appearance: follow the Mac, or hold the app to English or Simplified Chinese whatever the Mac is set to. Thanks @Nagi-ovo.
Ollama models show thinking and generation speed — each loaded model gets its own cell, with the tokens per second of its last response and a mark while it is thinking. Measured locally; nothing about a prompt leaves the machine.
Claude Code sessions started from the desktop app are counted — and the sign-in renews itself in the background, so a ring stops ageing out after a week of use.
The notch is welded to the screen edge — no hairline of wallpaper behind it at any size, and it stays anchored while the size slider is dragged.
Set the size by slider as well as by preset.
The notch folds away for a full-screen app.
The settings gear is a toggle — it turns and presses in as it is clicked, and a second click closes Settings.
Cursor stops showing work that finished months ago — finished background agents were leaving the ring amber indefinitely.
Antigravity reads a CLI-only install.
A ready-made download, no Xcode needed — every build now produces a runnable app bundle.

Thank you to everyone whose work is in this release: @Nagi-ovo, @SimonAB, @Const-Iv, @divingsbysangam and everyone who filed an issue.

Requires macOS 26. Notarized; the update is delivered over Sparkle to anyone already running Codenotch.
