BreakPoint Release Notes

Version 1.0

BreakPoint is a notarized macOS menu bar utility for capturing a "Doom's Moment" before stepping away from work. It gathers current context, generates a structured handoff, and exports the result to Markdown files and optionally Apple Notes.

Highlights

  • Four generation modes:
    • Normal
    • ADHD
    • Code Mode
    • Extra
  • Configurable export presets:
    • File
    • Notes
    • File + Notes
  • Configurable Pieces OS base URL in Properties
  • Ollama model dropdown with refresh support
  • Custom search tags field that is merged into generated hashtags
  • Faster generation fallback behavior:
    • Pieces QGPT fails fast if unavailable
    • Ollama fallback uses a longer timeout for large prompts
    • Ollama requests disable model "thinking" output to improve response speed
  • Apple Notes export support with checklist formatting
  • Global hotkey:
    • Cmd + Shift + Escape

Recommended Release Description

BreakPoint helps you preserve momentum before stepping away from your Mac. Trigger it from the menu bar or with Cmd + Shift + Escape, and it captures your current context into a structured Doom's Moment you can reopen later in Markdown or Apple Notes.

This release adds a cleaner settings experience with a configurable Pieces URL, an Ollama model picker, custom search tags for generated output, and faster generation fallback behavior.

Notes For Users

  • If Apple Notes export is enabled, macOS may ask for Automation and Accessibility permissions.
  • If screenshot OCR is needed, macOS may ask for Screen Recording permission.
  • Large cloud-backed Ollama models may still take noticeably longer than small local models.

Known Limitations

  • Apple Notes export depends on local macOS automation permissions.
  • Current release builds still emit AppIcon asset warnings during Xcode build, but the notarized DMG is valid for distribution.
