Quill 0.1.13

[0.1.13] - 2026-06-19

Fixed

• Google Calendar sign-in is now available again in released builds. The 0.1.12 build shipped without its bundled Google OAuth credentials, so calendar sign-in reported "not configured"; release builds now embed the credentials again.

macOS may show a first-launch security warning because this build is signed with Quill's own certificate rather than notarized. If that happens, open System Settings > Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Quill 0.1.12

[0.1.12] - 2026-06-19

Added

• The note audio player now supports pause and resume, seeking by clicking or dragging anywhere on the waveform, and a volume control in the player.

Improved

• Recording the microphone together with system audio no longer adds crackle. The two sources are now mixed continuously instead of switching gain per sample.
• Quill now checks for updates daily instead of weekly, so released fixes reach you sooner.

Quill 0.1.11

What's new in 0.1.11

Added

• Recording Overlay settings: choose how the overlay shows recording progress — Waveform only (new default), Show elapsed time on hover, or Show elapsed time instead of the waveform. Clicking the overlay still opens the input switcher in every mode.

Improved

• Accessibility is requested only when a recording will actually use it (auto-paste or command mode). Plain dictation, MCP, Rec-button, and calendar recordings no longer demand Accessibility. When it is needed, you now see the single native macOS prompt instead of a custom alert first.

Fixed

• Switching the audio input mid-recording to a source that lacks permission (e.g. System Audio without Screen Recording) now shows a short notice on the overlay itself, instead of silently doing nothing.

This build is signed with a local certificate and is not notarized yet. On first launch macOS may warn that the app is from an unidentified developer — right-click the app and choose Open, or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Quill 0.1.10

Added

• Note Browser: a down-chevron beside the Rec button lets you choose the audio input for the next recording — System Default, System Audio, or System Default + System Audio, plus any connected microphones — with the current input checked.

Improved

• Recordings that switched inputs mid-session now finish faster: the captured segments are stitched by copying the raw audio instead of re-encoding it sample by sample, removing the pause before transcription on longer recordings.

Quill 0.1.9

Added

• Hover the recording overlay's waveform to see the elapsed recording time without taking up extra space — it shows in the same spot as MM:SS (or H:MM:SS past an hour) and reflects the full session, including across mid-recording input switches. Clicking the waveform still opens the input switcher.

Quill 0.1.8

Added

• Switch the audio input while a recording is in progress: click the recording overlay's waveform to choose System Default, System Audio, or System Default + System Audio without ending the session. Audio captured before each switch is stitched into a single continuous note.

Fixed

• On displays without a notch, the recording overlay no longer extends past the menu bar — its height now matches the menu bar. The meeting reminder overlay uses the same height so it stays aligned when it wraps an active recording.

Quill 0.1.7

What's changed

• Adopted the upstream permission polling fix so Accessibility and Screen Recording polling stops once both permissions are granted.
• Re-checks Accessibility trust immediately before recording starts to avoid stale permission state.
• Keeps the setup-window restore path on the main actor after the polling methods were made main-actor isolated.

Installation note

This build is locally signed but not notarized. On first launch, macOS may show a security warning. If needed, approve the app from System Settings > Privacy & Security or use Finder's Open action.

Quill 0.1.6

[0.1.6] - 2026-06-13

Added

• Replaced the custom in-app updater with Sparkle 2, including Sparkle-signed appcast generation for future updates.

Improved

• Kept the stable Quill.dmg release asset as the bridge path for existing installs using the previous updater.
• Separated manual ad-hoc release artifacts from the stable update channel.

Download

Update channel

This release is the bridge from the previous custom updater to Sparkle. Existing installs can still update through the stable Quill.dmg asset, and future updates will use Sparkle appcast metadata.

Signing note

This local release is signed with the Quill signing identity but is not notarized.

Quill 0.1.5

Added

• Model picker dropdowns in Settings for the post-processing, fallback, context, and transcription models, including qwen3-32b and a Custom entry for any other model ID.

Improved

• Post-processing handles reasoning-model output more cleanly, stripping <think> tags and normalizing providerless model aliases.

Fixed

• Transcription no longer hangs indefinitely when a provider accepts the connection but never returns a response.

---

Installation: This build is signed with a local certificate (not Apple-notarized), so macOS may show a first-launch security warning. Only run it if you trust this fork — right-click Quill.app → Open to launch the first time.

Quill v0.1.4

Improved

• Adopted upstream overlay improvements, including multi-display overlay selection, in-pill error notifications, retry-to-clipboard behavior, and configurable local model timeout settings.
• Unified transcript post-processing so app context, API transport, and transcription flows use the same shared path.

Fixed

• Fixed recording overlay target screen resolution by bridging the AppKit screen number through NSNumber before converting to a display ID.
• Preserved Paste Again behavior when post-processing fails by keeping the completed transcript available earlier in the flow.
• Avoided false screen recording alerts in upstream permission handling.
