Extensions

Newelle supports extensions to extend its functionality. You can either use existing extensions or create your own to add new features to the application.

Mini Window Mode

A lightweight version of Newelle that can be triggered via keyboard shortcuts.

Configuration

1. Setup Hotkeys

As an example, to set the mini window launch's hotkey to Ctrl+Space, execute this command:

/bin/bash -c 'flatpak run --command=gsettings io.github.qwersyk.Newelle set io.github.qwersyk.Newelle startup-mode "mini" && flatpak run io.github.qwersyk.Newelle'

After that, enable the hotkey in settings.

2. Enable Window Centering

For GNOME desktop environment users, you may need to enable automatic window centering:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter center-new-windows true

Installation

There are two ways of doing this

• install.sh
  1. Install the latest Gnome SDK
  2. Run sh install.sh
  3. Profit!
• Gnome Builder
  1. Install GNOME Builder on your system.
  2. Clone the Newelle repository from GitHub.
  3. Open the project in GNOME Builder and compile it.
  4. Once compiled, you can run the program from the compiled executable.

With nix, you can run the app without installing by executing this command:

nix run github:qwersyk/Newelle

If you want the latest commit version, you can clone this repository and execute nix run . to start the program or nix develop . to start a developer shell

Warning

Localizations will not work on these builds! If you want your language to work, go to the "Builder" section instead

1. Download the latest release from the Github Actions
2. Extract the downloaded package.
3. Install a flatpak package.

1. Ensure you have set up both flatpak and flathub
2. Install Newelle by executing: flatpak install flathub io.github.qwersyk.Newelle

Permission

Important

The Flathub version of Newelle is restricted to the .var/app/io.github.qwersyk.Newelle folder and operates within a Flatpak virtualized environment, limiting its capabilities.

To extend Newelle's permissions, either execute this command to temporarily grant its access:

flatpak run --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak --filesystem=home io.github.qwersyk.Newelle

or adjust the permissions permanently using Flatseal:

• Open Flatseal, find "newelle" and enable both "All user files" and "Session Bus"
  • Add org.freedesktop.Flatpak to run outside the sandbox.

Warning

Be cautious when enabling these options. They reduce security by exposing your data and terminal. Avoid sharing personal information, and understand that we can't guarantee the privacy of your chat data or prevent potential risks from proprietary models.
