What’s in 0.1.0

Dictate in any app with a global hotkey — clean text appears right at your cursor.
Everything runs on your device. Your voice is never sent to the cloud.
Lives quietly in your menu bar; press to talk or lock hands-free.
Optional private, end-to-end-encrypted iCloud sync of your dictation history across iPhone and Mac.
This is an early beta, so expect a few rough edges. Your feedback shapes what comes next.

Installing

Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Parlo to your Applications folder.
Launch Parlo. It is notarized by Apple, so it opens without a security warning.
On first use, grant Accessibility and Microphone access in System Settings so Parlo can listen and type into any app.
To sync your history across devices, sign into iCloud in System Settings with the same Apple ID you use on iPhone.
