Changelog

2.2.0

Assistant

Type or say a request in the notch. Simple ones run on your Mac at once, with no network: add a note or a to-do, open or quit an app, play or pause music, set the volume, or ask about memory, battery or disk.
Anything else goes to Claude Haiku, with your own key. It adds notes, to-dos and events, answers questions about your Mac and controls it, and gives quick answers.
It tells you what it did, with a link to open it. Quitting an app, cleaning caches or emptying the Shelf asks first.
When a request needs your screen, it hands it to the agent.

Voice

One mic in the prompt bar, on every tab. Click to talk, click again to send. Holding ⌃⌥Space still works.
The Plan tab no longer has its own mic row.
The voice language moved to Settings → General.

Clipboard

Clipboard history replaces the colour picker as the fourth quick tool. Click its button or press ⌃⌥7.
Your last 20 copies: text, images and files. Click one to copy it again.
It stays in memory on your Mac and is never saved or sent. Copies from password managers are skipped.
Turn it off in Settings → Quick tools.

Also

The island

A redesigned island, now with the weather. It asks for your location once.
Click the field to type.
The agent shows its full answer, with Copy, Ask a follow-up and Done.
A smoother shadow.
The agent's dot is now a black drop that comes out of the notch and goes back in.

Plan

A new Plan tab after Mac: your Apple Calendar on the left, your Reminders to-dos on the right.
Move through the weeks, tick off a to-do (click it again within 1.5 seconds to undo), and see what's next.
"Next up" in the Now tab when an event starts within 3 hours.

Voice

Hold ⌃⌥Space and talk, or click the mic in the Plan tab. A tap still opens the prompt.
Romanian and English, recognised on your Mac.
Claude turns what you say into events and to-dos with your own key. You see them first, with Save, Edit and Undo, and they save by themselves after 5 seconds.
No key yet? What you said is saved as one to-do.

Quick tools

Four tools under the clock: take a screenshot, record an area (the timer runs in the notch), grab text from the screen, and pick a colour.
⌃⌥4, ⌃⌥5, ⌃⌥6 and ⌃⌥7 work from any app. You can change them in Settings.

Skins

Pixel Grid, a fine dot grid that ripples, is free for everyone: Settings → Appearance.
Dynamic background, colours that follow your music and the weather, is coming soon with VortexPoint Plus.

Settings

Right-click the notch and choose Settings…, or press ⌘, while VortexPoint is open.
°C or °F, or pick a city for the weather.
Change any shortcut, or turn it off.
Choose where captures are saved, and whether they go to the Shelf and the clipboard.
A spending limit for each agent task.
A Plan section: where new events and to-dos go, and the voice language.
The Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, in About.

Also

New permission prompts: Screen Recording for the quick tools, access to your Desktop the first time a capture is saved there, Calendars and Reminders the first time you open Plan, and Microphone and Speech Recognition the first time you talk.
With AirPods connected, VortexPoint listens through the Mac's microphone, so your music keeps its quality.
A more reliable Start at Login.

First public version.

The notch becomes an island: music now playing, a file shelf, Mac Health with Focus and cache cleaning.
Point, the pixel pet, lives in the notch.
AI agent (Beta): ask in the notch and it uses your Mac for you, with your own Claude API key.
