Sound, smoother updates, and easier scheduling

2026-04-17 — v0.5.117

New audio cues and a small animated voice intro. Windows updates can wait until your machine is idle and recover automatically on failure. Checkout accepts more payment methods and Runner recognizes booking links for easier scheduling. A handful of email, UI, and deep-link fixes landed too.

What changed:

• Added audio feedback: a chime when apps connect and a soft ping for notifications.
• Added a short animated intro when you activate voice mode to make voice actions feel clearer.
• Windows update banner now offers a “Restart When Idle” option so updates don’t interrupt work.
• If an update fails during install on Windows, Runner detects the problem and recovers automatically.
• Checkout accepts additional payment methods and preserves your email during the flow.
• Runner now recognizes common booking links and handles them more smoothly when scheduling meetings from messages or links.

Why it matters: Small polish makes Runner less distracting and more predictable. You get clearer feedback, fewer interrupted sessions, easier payments, and fewer scheduling hiccups. Plus, a number of email and UI bugs that caused wrong senders, duplicate assistant replies, review bypasses, and broken deep links have been fixed for a more reliable daily experience.
