GQuick v0.1.9

What's New

Homebrew Plugin (macOS/Linux)

• New plugin: Full Homebrew package manager integration
  • brew: prefix search for packages directly from the launcher
  • Installed packages tab: View all installed formulae/casks with version and outdated status
  • Search tab: Search Homebrew registry with live results
  • Outdated tab: See packages with available updates
  • Package detail panel: Resizable side panel showing full package info (description, homepage, versions, dependencies)
  • One-click actions: Install, uninstall, upgrade, and update packages with confirmation modals
  • Live operation output: Background operations stream output in real-time with status bar
  • Keyboard shortcut: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+B to open Homebrew view
  • Jump to package from search: Plugin search results open directly to the package detail page instead of just opening the view
• Smart filtering: Already-installed packages are filtered out of remote search results
• Operation safety: Persistent background operations with cancel support, per-item action state (no spinner bleeding), and automatic info refresh after operations complete

UX Improvements

• ESC key behavior:
  • Cancels running inline terminal commands and speedtests before closing the window
  • Pressing ESC in search with a non-empty query now clears the query instead of hiding the window
• Screenshot capture: Now saves to the app data directory instead of Desktop
• macOS app launcher: Now includes /Applications/Utilities and /System/Applications/Utilities paths
• Actions panel: Shows only the first trigger per plugin instead of all regex alternatives for cleaner display

Bug Fixes

• Fixed search input flickering when typing > terminal commands — removed premature setItems([]) in the onChange handler
• Fixed Homebrew operation race conditions: Operation IDs prevent stale events from clobbering running state; cancel now terminates the full process tree using process groups (setsid on Unix)
• Fixed out-of-order package info responses: A sequence guard ensures the correct package is selected even if brew info responses arrive out of order

Other Changes

• Trimmed plugin keywords to only words that actually trigger the plugin (reduces false matches)
• Added Tauri opener plugin for external URL handling

First real prod-ready version of GQuick! v0.1.7

Highlights

• Spotlight-style launcher: Quickly find and open apps, files, folders, recent items, notes, utilities, and plugin actions from one search box.
• AI chat with tool calling: Chat with OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic models, attach images, and let the assistant use supported GQuick tools such as calculator, file search, notes, network info, weather, and web search.
• Screenshot and OCR workflows: Capture selected screen regions, copy images, extract text where OCR is available, and send captures into AI vision workflows.
• Notes built in: Create, search, update, and manage local notes without leaving the launcher.
• Docker management: Inspect Docker status, containers, images, logs, exec sessions, Compose operations, Docker Hub search, and cleanup actions from GQuick.
• Everyday utilities: Calculator, web search, translation, weather, public/network info, speed testing, terminal helpers, and file/app opening are included.
• Desktop behavior that stays out of the way: Global shortcuts, tray integration, hidden-on-close behavior, and configurable settings make GQuick easy to keep available without cluttering the desktop.

Features

Search and Launcher

• Search installed applications, files, folders, and recently opened items.
• Use plugin prefixes for targeted actions, including Docker, notes, weather, translation, web search, and speed testing.
• Recent files and folders are surfaced quickly from local usage history.

AI Assistant

• Configure supported providers and models in Settings.
• Stream chat responses in the app.
• Use AI tools for calculation, safe file search/read, notes, network info, weather, and web search.
• Attach screenshots or image input for vision-capable workflows.

Productivity Tools

• Manage local notes in a dedicated notes view.
• Run Docker workflows without switching to a terminal.
• Capture regions of the screen and copy screenshots or OCR text.
• Check weather, network details, internet speed, translations, and search results from the launcher.

Getting Started and Configuration

• Install and launch GQuick, then open Settings to configure your preferred global shortcut.
• Add API keys for any AI providers you want to use. AI calls are made directly from the app to the selected provider.
• Set a default location in Settings to improve weather results and weather-related AI tool calls.
• Install and run Docker if you want to use Docker management features.
• Grant any operating-system permissions requested for screenshots, accessibility-style window behavior, or OCR-related workflows.

Safety and Privacy Notes

• GQuick stores settings such as provider configuration, saved location, and recent usage locally.
• AI provider API keys are used by the desktop app for direct provider requests; no separate GQuick backend proxy is included in this release.
• File-reading tools include backend safety checks for safe roots, hidden/secret paths, symlinks, text-only reads, and size limits.
• Destructive Docker operations require explicit confirmation in the app.

Known Limitations and Requirements

• Linux Wayland has a visual bug rendering the application (Fix planned)
• External features require internet access, including AI providers, weather, web search, speed testing, Docker Hub search, and public IP lookup.
• AI features require valid provider API keys and compatible models.
• Docker features require the Docker CLI and a running Docker daemon where applicable.
• File search uses runtime scanning rather than a persistent index, so very large directories may take longer to search.
• OCR availability depends on platform support and required local OCR dependencies; current OCR integration is strongest on macOS.
• Moonshot/Kimi support exists in code paths but is not exposed in Settings in this release.

Closing

This initial release establishes GQuick as a local-first productivity hub for launching, searching, automating, and managing common desktop workflows from one place. Feedback and bug reports are welcome as the app moves toward broader platform polish and deeper plugin support.
