Thanks for reporting this. It's possible NotesOllama triggers some internal error state in Apple Notes. Did you notice anything special with the content that was being generated when the crash occurred? E.g formatting

First of all, thank you for your prompt response and support. Regarding the crash issue you asked about, I would like to elaborate on the specific problems I encountered.

While using your software, I indeed experienced some crashes during the content generation process. Specifically, sometimes when I click the generate button, the software would suddenly crash. After the crash, when I try to reopen the software, I find that the content I attempted to generate before the crash is completely lost, with no new generated content displayed on the interface.

Moreover, I noticed that the software crashes during the response process, meaning that the crashes usually occur while generating content. Sometimes, the software would show a part of the answer before crashing, but it crashes before completing the entire response. Upon restarting the software, the answers are not saved or displayed either.

In summary, the crashes seem to be related to certain actions during the generation process, and upon reopening the software after a crash, any content that was being generated is not retained.

I hope this information helps you in investigating and resolving the issue. Thank you again for your efforts and support. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Got it! Do you have steps for reproducing this reliably? It would be super helpful if you had a prompt and the model this happens with so I could try to make it happen on my mac.

Regarding the problem you mentioned, I am very sorry. I have not yet successfully summarized the specific steps that can reliably reproduce the problem. From what I've seen so far, the problem seems to occur in a relatively random pattern. Problems may appear suddenly after a series of actions or questions, with no obvious warning or identifiable pattern.
