This is the current cross-platform OpenLess workspace.
The runnable Tauri app lives in app/. The macOS build links a vendored C ASR engine (Open-Less/qwen-asr, forked from antirez/qwen-asr) tracked as a git submodule under app/src-tauri/vendor/qwen-asr/, so initialize submodules on first clone.
# First clone only — pull in vendored submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd app
npm ci
npm run tauri devUse the project build script instead of calling tauri build directly:
cd app
INSTALL=0 ./scripts/build-mac.shGenerated macOS artifacts:
app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/OpenLess.appapp/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/OpenLess_1.1.0_aarch64.dmg
For local install during development:
cd app
./scripts/build-mac.shThe runnable Tauri app is still app/. Windows contributors should run a
preflight before building so missing MSVC, Windows SDK, or MinGW tools fail
with actionable messages.
cd app
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\windows-preflight.ps1Use this route when Visual Studio Build Tools and the Windows SDK are installed.
Open a Developer PowerShell, or call vcvars64.bat, then run:
cd app
npm ci
npm run tauri -- buildRequired Visual Studio Installer components:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools- MSVC v143 x64/x86 build tools
- Windows 10/11 SDK that provides
kernel32.lib
If link.exe or kernel32.lib is missing, rerun:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\windows-preflight.ps1 -Toolchain msvcUse this route when MSVC/Windows SDK is unavailable. The app now lives under
the no-space openless-all directory to avoid GNU/MinGW path quoting issues
while generating import libraries. Use the helper script to keep the GNU build
environment and target setup consistent.
cd app
scoop install rustup mingw
rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Use this gate before/after Windows hotkey changes when a physical keyboard
regression is unavailable. It injects a dev/test-only hotkey click through the
coordinator handle_pressed / handle_released path, asserts the log contains
[coord] hotkey pressed, and cancels the dry-run session automatically.
cd app
npm run check:hotkey-injection- Windows does not need the macOS Accessibility permission. Use Settings -> Permissions -> Global hotkey to inspect listener status.
- Microphone permission is checked by opening a short-lived input stream, so a device-format query alone is not treated as permission granted.
- Text insertion through
Ctrl+Vis treated as copy fallback unless the app can confirm insertion.
Tagged releases (v*-tauri) must be Developer ID signed and notarized so users can download and open the macOS app without manually removing quarantine attributes.
Required GitHub secrets:
APPLE_CERTIFICATEAPPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORDAPPLE_IDAPPLE_PASSWORDAPPLE_TEAM_ID
Optional:
APPLE_PROVIDER_SHORT_NAMEKEYCHAIN_PASSWORD
Manual workflow runs can still produce ad-hoc signed test builds, but tagged macOS releases fail if signing/notarization secrets are missing.
