Release 2.6 · Codename Slipstream · Shipping now
Slipstream is the biggest My Rio update since launch. Your AI companion now follows you across every display, drafts in your voice, and proofreads as fast as you can type — while sitting so light on your Mac you'll forget it's running. Built for the teams the giants overlook. Here's everything that changed.

The headline features
Move to a second monitor and My Rio moves with you. Slipstream docks the companion to the corner nearest your cursor, on the display you're actually using — no dragging, no hunting. Click once to summon it; click away and it slips back out of frame.
The proofreader is rebuilt on native macOS text intelligence — spelling, grammar, and clarity checks that surface inline as you write, in six languages. No round-trip to a server, no waiting on a spinner. It just underlines the fix and gets out of your way.
Ask My Rio to reply and the draft goes out under your own name — your tone, your sign-off, never a robotic "sent by an assistant" footer. You review every word before it leaves. Internal review labels stay internal; they can't ride along on a real send.
We rewrote how the companion animates. Ambient motion now runs on the graphics layer instead of redrawing the window, so idle My Rio sips power in the background. Your fans stay quiet, your battery lasts, and it wakes the instant you call it.
