🚀 Release Notes

This update focuses on productivity tools, enhanced RTL support, and a richer visual experience with the new "Geminimark" engine.

✨ New Features

🧠 AI & Core Logic

Incognito Mode Shortcut: Added a quick shortcut to launch "Temporary Chat" (Incognito) sessions in both Gemini and AI Studio, ensuring conversations remain private and unsaved.

🎨 UI/UX & Visuals

Pie Menu: Introducing a new interactive circular menu for rapid access to common actions, mode switching, and custom prompts.
Geminimark Engine: Advanced rendering engine that supports rich Markdown content and LaTeX mathematical formulas directly within your queries and responses.
Full RTL Support: A dedicated setting to force Right-to-Left alignment in AI Studio and the Chat interface, significantly improving the layout for Hebrew and Arabic users.

⚡ Productivity & Automation

Smart Screenshot System:
- Capture full or partial screen regions and send them instantly to the chat.
- Auto-Capture on Send: New option to automatically capture the screen context the moment the send button is pressed.
Prompt Manager: A comprehensive library for managing custom commands.
- Includes a Default Prompt feature that automatically injects a specific prompt into every new conversation startup.

🐛 Bug Fixes

IME Candidate Window: Fixed a critical issue where the Input Method Editor (IME) candidate window (suggestion list) was invisible when typing in non-English languages (e.g., Chinese Pinyin, Japanese). Users can now see and select characters correctly.

⚠️ Important for macOS users

Due to Apple’s Gatekeeper security, applications that are not signed with an Apple Developer ID are marked as “quarantined” after being downloaded from the internet. This may cause the error:

“App is damaged and can’t be opened”

How to run the app on macOS:

Download the .dmg file from the Releases page.
Open the .dmg and drag GeminiDesk.app into the Applications folder.
Open the Terminal and run the command below:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GeminiDesk.app

Launch the application normally (via Launchpad).

This process removes the quarantine flag and allows the app to run. Without an Apple Developer ID, this manual step is required for all macOS downloads.
