perch 0.4.0 — release notes
a better voice, a memory, and a helping hand.
a memory of its ownperch keeps short notes about you, your projects and how you like things, in a file on your mac you can open and edit.
knows your project notesreads the same CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md your agents use before it answers.
a faster, nicer voiceperch starts talking at the first sentence instead of waiting for the whole answer. pick a natural sarvam or elevenlabs voice with your own key, or a free premium mac voice.
out of your waydrag perch anywhere along the top, and let it hide when nothing's happening. it tucks away as soon as it's done talking.
does things on your mac"open my invoices folder", "pause the music", "make a folder for the launch". perch shows exactly what it will do and waits for allow.
small fixescopy and paste now work in perch's settings, and perch's buttons never squash.
included in every download from 0.4.0 on.
