Release notes

What's changed

Claudio moves in small steps. Here's what each version brought, in plain words — no jargon, no commit numbers.

Dictate from the keyboard

Hold a key, speak, let go: the text lands where your cursor is, in any app. Nothing to select first.

Recognition runs on your Mac. The model you picked punctuates it and drops the hesitations — or you keep the raw transcript. Whatever is playing pauses by itself while you talk, and starts again afterwards.

A vocabulary keeps your names spelled your way, a second key listens in another language, and the last fifty dictations stay in Settings.

Windows, from the keyboard

Eleven shortcuts to put the front window where you want it without touching the mouse: halves, corners, full screen, and the next display.

Moving to another display keeps the window's place: a half stays a half, even between two screens of different sizes. One switch frees every one of those keys if you'd rather keep your own tool.

A model running on your own Mac

Every action can now pick a local model, served by Ollama on your Mac or on your network, instead of Claude. Nothing leaves the machine, and it costs nothing.

The choice is per action, so cost and privacy are readable on the action itself. At the bottom of the panel, the name of the model that answered.

Claudio in person

The mustache borrowed from Apple's catalogue gives way to the real character, in the menu bar and at the top of the panel.

His eyes say where he is: open while he waits, closed while the answer arrives, smiling once it's pasted.

Claudio speaks English

Settings → General → Language: System, Français or English. Everything follows — the menu, the palette, the panel, Settings, the error messages. Amounts too.

One key for all of it

Nine shortcuts to memorise was the price of entry. Not any more: one key opens the full list next to your pointer, with your selection already captured.

Type three letters to filter, or run it by number. If nothing matches, what you typed becomes the instruction.

Saying what you want

An action with no fixed instruction: the panel asks what to do, then applies it to the selection. “Translate to Spanish”, “make this a bullet list”, “halve the length”.

Lapacompris

An action that re-explains dense or jargon-heavy text the way you'd explain it to a friend, without changing a single fact.

Claudio also checks once a day whether a new version exists, and says so at the top of its menu.

The first version

Select text anywhere, press a shortcut, and Claudio proofreads, translates, summarizes or rephrases it — then replaces your text with the result, without switching windows.

The technical detail of every version, file by file, lives on GitHub.
