Ouros X 2.1.16
This update collects everything since 2.1.11.
Music
- Choosing a song in the Ouros player no longer brings the Spotify window forward. Spotify stays hidden, or behind the app you were using, while the song plays.
- Clicking songs in the player keeps the same player in place instead of reopening it.
Chat
- Chat answers through your Ouros account on any Mac. Your plan's allowance and your saved AGENTS.md and OUROS.md instructions apply to every message.
- The Account page no longer reports that billing is unavailable. View all plans opens your account's billing page.
Windows
- Workspace opens centered, with its window controls and title row in the same place as every other Ouros window.
Files
- Files Preview plays audio and video. Select a song or a movie to get play, pause, a scrubber and volume; videos also offer full screen.
- Audio files show their artwork, title, artist, album and length.
- Nothing starts playing until you press play, and playback stops when you select another file.
- On a fresh setup, file search covers the folders in your home folder and skips Library and Applications. Build folders named
target-xare skipped along with the other build outputs. Scopes you already chose are kept.
Dictation
- Right Command dictates into any text field. The first time you use it, Dictation Setup offers a small on-device cleanup model, or you can keep Apple Speech only.
- With the cleanup model on, each dictation drops filler words, keeps your self-corrections and formats the text for the app you are typing in, including terminals and code editors.
- The model downloads once, is checked for integrity and stays on this Mac. Dictated text is not sent anywhere. Dictation keeps working with Apple Speech while the download finishes.
- To turn the cleanup model on or off, or remove it, open Settings, App, Dictation audio and choose Set Up.
- Long dictations no longer lose earlier words when speech recognition restarts partway through.
Spoken replies
- Voice replies can use ElevenLabs. Add your ElevenLabs API key in Settings, App, Dictation audio; it is kept in the encrypted Ouros secret store.
- Without a key, or if ElevenLabs refuses a reply, Ouros X speaks with the system voice.
Screen reading
- eyes1te is included with Premium. Choose an image or capture the screen, and read the text on this Mac. The helper ships inside the app.
- Ouros Eye reads the focused window. Press Option-1 and the result opens in a conversation. Press it while dictating and what you see goes with what you say.
- Screen capture uses Screen Recording. Agent observation lists windows and reads on-screen text; clicking and typing in other apps stays locked behind Agent Computer.
Launcher
- Each mode remembers where you left it. Switching away and back keeps the open view, search text, filter, selection and scroll position.
Workspace
- Workspace and Preferences share one window. Preferences fills that window, and Back to Workspace restores the three-pane home.
- A new Zilch tab in Workspace lists your microVMs and lets you provision one with a name, vCPU count and memory, or destroy one.
- Workspace agent chat requires an active membership. Compact bar chat still bills when you send.
Earlier changes
- Includes the terminal, window and placement changes in 2.1.11.
