What’s new

Every change you can see, version by version.

Unreleased

Added

Service presets: pick DeepSeek, Moonshot / Kimi, Zhipu GLM, Qwen / DashScope, xAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, or LM Studio, and Owlet fills in the base URL and default model. "OpenAI Compatible" stays for any other service.

0.5.1

2026-10-15

Changed

The prompt editor sits inside the settings form. "Restore Default" is now an icon button that is always visible.
New menu bar icon, drawn as a template image so the system colors it.

0.5.0

2026-10-14

Fixed

Owlet finds local agent CLIs no matter how it was launched. If it finds none, you can still set the path by hand.

0.4.0

2026-10-14

Added

Optional: when no text is selected, use the full text of the focused input field (off by default).

Fixed

In that mode, Replace overwrites the whole field instead of appending.

0.3.0

2026-10-14

Added

Local agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex CLI) as model services. They need no API key.
Pick the model and reasoning effort from the agent's own list.
Each service remembers its own model name.
Release builds for both universal and Apple silicon.

Changed

The glass effect setting points to System Settings instead of a custom control.

Fixed

Settings… brings an open settings window to the front.

0.2.0

2026-10-12

Added

Native language setting, with more than one language allowed. Learning suggestions skip your native languages.
Changing the interface language takes effect at once, with no restart.

Changed

Definitions follow your current language mapping instead of the source language.
Learn and Back buttons moved to the bottom left. Action buttons show the action's own icon and name.

Fixed

The floating panel leaves room for its action bar, so buttons no longer cover text.
The word lookup popover no longer crashes when you press Speak.
Mixed Chinese and English in status text, and other localization gaps.

0.1.0

2026-10-11

First build.

Translate, Polish, Translate & Replace, and Polish & Replace with global shortcuts, in a Spotlight-style floating panel with Liquid Glass.
Learning suggestions and a word book with readings, tags, and source app.
⌘-click word lookup with system speech.
Local history, grouped by day and searchable.
Any OpenAI-compatible service. The API key is stored in the Keychain.
Interface in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, and 日本語.
