Mallo 1.2.24

Mallo 1.2.24 makes dictation easier to trust when you work across multiple Mac desktops. The HUD now follows the desktop you are actually using, and Qwen is kept ready more gently after the app has been sitting open.

Release Highlights

• The HUD follows your active desktop. If you switch between macOS Spaces, the dictation HUD should appear on the Space where you start dictating.
• Fullscreen and multi-desktop work feels clearer. You should not have to jump back to another desktop just to confirm whether Mallo is listening.
• Qwen stays ready after idle time. Mallo keeps the local Qwen path warmer by default so the next dictation is less likely to feel delayed.

What Changed In Real Use

If you use several desktops for coding, writing, browsing, or remote work, the old HUD behavior could feel confusing. Dictation might start, but the visual confirmation could stay on another Space.

This release makes the HUD reposition itself whenever dictation starts. It is a small fix, but it matters because the HUD is how you know Mallo heard the shortcut and is listening.

Qwen also gets a readiness pass. When Mallo has been idle for a while, the app now does more to keep the local model prepared without putting extra steps in your way.

Why This Patch Matters

Dictation should feel obvious in the moment: press the shortcut, see the HUD, speak, and keep working. This patch removes one more place where the app could feel detached from the desktop you were actually using.
