🧾 Glass — Summary of Current Issues (Mac, Whisper Medium)

  1. ❌ GitHub Installation (Local Build) Fails
    — I followed the instructions from the Quick Start (Local Build) section at:
    [https://github.com/pickle-com/glass](https://github.com/pickle-com/glass?tab=readme-ov-file)
    — But the setup fails:

    • git clone often times out;
    • npm install cannot proceed (package.json missing);
    • npm start throws ENOENT errors, and the app doesn’t launch.
  2. ⚠️ DMG Installer Version Crashes on Launch
    — The official DMG build installs and launches, but immediately shows an update notice.
    — After the update attempt, the app crashes with:
    “A critical error occurred during startup. Please restart the application.”
    — This makes the application unusable after installation.

  3. 🧠 Whisper Medium Model Not Recognized
    — I have ggml-medium.bin saved in the correct folder.
    — However, the app does not detect it and tries to download it repeatedly — unsuccessfully.
    — As a result, local transcription does not work.

  4. 🌐 Insights Work Only in English
    — When using Russian language input, no insights are generated.
    — The feature appears to work only in English, which limits usage for non-English speakers.


⚠️ Limitations When Using API Keys (OpenAI, Claude)

  • When I provide my own API keys (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4 or Claude.ai Pro):

    • Speech recognition works.
    • Summarization and follow-up suggestions do not work.
    • ✅ If I manually type a question using the Ask feature (instead of using voice), I can receive a proper response.
      — So the app can respond to text input, but does not process spoken summaries or insight chains correctly.

💻 System Info

  • Device: MacBook Pro (M1 Pro)
  • macOS: 15.5 (24F74)
  • Node.js: v18+ (installed via Homebrew)
  • npm: latest
  • Ollama: installed
  • Whisper model: ggml-medium.bin manually downloaded

Glass is a very promising project, but I’m currently blocked by several major issues on macOS. Please feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to assist with logs, feedback, or further testing.
