Rowboat Files

What's new

✨ Ask Rowboat from anywhere. Press ⌥⇧Space in any app and a Spotlight-style quick-ask bar appears. Type your question — or hold right ⌘ to speak it — and the answer streams right back into the bar, with a live status line showing what the agent is doing. The question lands in your current Rowboat chat, so nothing is lost: hit "Open in Rowboat" to jump into the full conversation, or "+" to start a fresh one. You can also toggle voice responses and screen sharing without leaving the bar. On macOS Tahoe the bar is rendered in native Liquid Glass.

🎙️ Push-to-talk calls. Hold right ⌘ to talk during a call — release to send. Calls gained a popout text input, clearer controls with tooltips, and the popout and quick-ask bar now float above fullscreen apps instead of getting lost behind them.

🔐 Smoother permission prompts. Screen Recording permission is settled once at call start for every mode, permission alerts are audible and bring themselves into focus, and screen share in the packaged app is now reliable.

Also in this release

• Calls no longer lose responses — dropped utterances and voiceless replies are fixed, and every reply is spoken from its first line
• The assistant answers trivial messages directly instead of firing off unnecessary tool calls
• Windows: start-at-login now registers correctly and survives app updates
• Global push-to-talk works reliably in packaged builds
