Light mode, more control, better output

This month we shipped a new light mode, more flexible hotkey controls, and meaningful improvements to speed, output quality, and overall stability.

Glaido team,

Less friction, more control

This month we focused on helping you stay in flow with less friction.

We shipped a new light mode, more flexible hotkey controls, and speed and quality improvements across the app.


Light mode

If your work lives in brighter environments, you can now switch Glaido to light mode, a cleaner, high-contrast option that still feels unmistakably Glaido.

Choose which hotkeys you actually want

A new setting lets you unset specific hotkeys. Keep only the shortcuts you actively use, disable the rest, and stop fighting accidental conflicts with other tools.


Faster performance, better output quality

We rolled out another round of speed and output improvements. Interactions feel snappier, and generated text comes out more consistent, especially in heavy day-to-day use.

And yes, we did make it faster again. At this pace, the only remaining bottleneck might be how quickly coffee cools down.


Stability improvements across the app

We also fixed a handful of bugs to improve reliability and polish across the app.


Update now

All of this is live in the latest version. Update from inside the app, or download fresh.

Every release gets better because of your feedback. If you've got requests, friction points, or ideas for what should ship next, send them our way. We read all of it.
