# Outpost Desk 2.1 - What's New ## Dispatch Packet (Cmd+Shift+D) Create a project-manager style handoff report from the active workspace. Dispatch Packet extracts summary lines, action items, open questions, dates, risks, and next steps, then scores handoff readiness from 0 to 100 using the same local text analytics and clarity engines used elsewhere in Outpost Desk. The packet can be copied as Markdown for project notes, status updates, or handoff documents. ## Text Analytics Panel See live statistics for any text you're working on: word count, sentence count, paragraph count, syllable count, estimated reading time (at the 238 words-per-minute median adult rate), Flesch Reading Ease score with labelled difficulty band (Very Easy → Very Confusing), Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level, and a top-10 keyword frequency list. Toggle the panel from the toolbar word-count badge. ## Snippet Library (Cmd+Shift+S) A persistent library of reusable text snippets stored on your Mac. Ships with eight curated starters — meeting recap header, weekly status template, decision brief, code review prompt, and more. Create your own snippets, tag them by type, search by title, tag, or body text, and insert any snippet into the chat input in one click. ## CSV Export (Tools menu · Cmd+Option+E) Export any conversation to a CSV file via the macOS save dialog. Columns: index, role, ISO 8601 timestamp, word count, and content. Fields with commas, quotes, or newlines are RFC 4180-escaped so the file opens cleanly in Numbers, Excel, or any spreadsheet app. Also available from the sidebar right-click menu. ## macOS Settings Window (Cmd+,) Set your default mode and export preferences in a proper macOS Settings scene. A new Tools menu in the menu bar puts Export Markdown, Export CSV, and Snippet Library one keystroke away. ## Sidebar Context Menu Right-click any conversation to export it as Markdown or CSV, or delete it, without switching to that conversation first. ## Copy Message Right-click any message bubble to copy its text to the clipboard. ## Reliability Pass Outpost Desk 2.1 includes focused Dispatch Packet tests plus the full existing local text-engine suite. Validation on June 27, 2026 passed 168 tests with 0 failures.

Outpost Desk 2.0 — a pro clarity upgrade, still 100% private and offline. • Clarity Report: a 0–100 readability score that flags adverbs, passive voice, wordy phrases, and hard-to-read sentences — like a private, on-device writing editor. • Live clarity panel that updates as you type. • Compare Rewrite: a word-level diff showing exactly what your rewrite changed. • Glue index, sticky sentences, overused words, and vocabulary variety. • Export any report as Markdown. No account, no network, no cloud AI — every word is analyzed on your Mac.

Introducing the Insight Engine — a readability battery (six formulas plus a plain-English grade), trustworthy action and date detection, and a copyable Markdown insight report. Plus a System/Light/Dark appearance setting, a full VoiceOver and contrast accessibility pass, and Reduce-Motion support. Fully offline, no account.

Attached files now stay with their workspace and survive relaunch, and every workspace remembers and re-applies its own mode. Plus reliability improvements.
