TabType v0.1.1 — a big quality release: suggestions are 4–6× faster, understand far more context, and a crash is fixed. Recommended update for everyone on v0.1.0.
🛠 Fixed
- Crash when the Mac's power state changed (Low Power Mode toggle, charger events) — a main-actor isolation trap in the power monitor. If v0.1.0 quit on you mysteriously, this was it.
- Reply-drift: the model sometimes answered the conversation on screen instead of completing your sentence. Prompting is now strictly continuation-only, with sampler-level guards for reply openers.
- Suggestions no longer leak context between apps (or between browser tabs) — what you just read elsewhere is now explicitly labeled background, never mistaken for what you're writing now.
⚡ Faster
- Suggestion latency down from ~0.8–1.5 s to ~160–270 ms in chat apps: transcripts are normalized (timestamps/presence/"edited" junk stripped) so the model's KV cache stays warm between keystrokes, and screen captures pause while you type.
- Switching apps no longer causes a slow first suggestion — the new app's context is pre-warmed in the background.
🧠 Smarter context
- Reads the whole visible conversation in 15+ chat apps — now including Telegram, Signal, Teams, Messenger, Element, Beeper, Mattermost, Zulip, Skype, and Google Chat.
- Web chats too: claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini, WhatsApp Web, Discord, Slack, Perplexity and more get conversation-aware suggestions inside any browser.
- Long-form writing: in Pages, Word, Notes, Ulysses, Bear, and other writing apps, TabType reads a much larger window around your cursor plus the document's opening lines, so mid-document suggestions stay on topic.
- On 24 GB+ Macs, a higher-precision 8-bit model is now recommended automatically (same speed, better accuracy).
🔍 Transparency
- Settings → Apps now shows exactly what TabType does in every app: profile badges (Chat / Document / Code editor), a plain-English "How TabType works here" card, and per-app controls to change the context recipe — promote any app to conversation reading, or resize its context budget.
