No copying and pasting photos and files
I wish Lumo allowed pasting photos straight to the app like Venice and other AIs; it would make life easier; sometimes I just want to paste a photo or PDF.
Privacy at the cost of project capability - Lumo Conversation Limits
1. Unpredictable cessation Lumo stops responding when context memory reaches an unknown threshold, varying unpredictably between ~60% and ~80%. There is no warning indicator, making it impossible to anticipate when a conversation will fail.
2. No proactive handoff Users cannot ask Lumo to prepare a summary before it stops responding. By the time the limit is reached, the tool has already ceased functioning, leaving manual recovery as the only option.
3. Reactive recovery workflow When Lumo stops:
Copy the last 2–3 messages from the failed conversation
Paste them (as raw text, not a summary) into a new conversation in the same project
Raw messages consume more tokens than summaries, giving the new conversation less available headroom from the start.
4. Progressively shrinking capacity Each successive conversation supports fewer exchanges before hitting the limit, as pasted content plus accumulated file tokens consume growing portions of the context window. This forces increasingly frequent restarts.
5. User bears the burden Managing these constraints—monitoring for unresponsiveness, copying content, restarting conversations—is manual and distracting, pulling focus from the actual project work.

Excellent with privacy baked in
Overall extremely happy with the experience. The functionality is great answers usually on par with frontier models, slightly fewer features but importantly end to end encryption. Decent UX, I’d love a Mac app, but the iPhone app and web work very well.
text size is WAY too small on ipad
1. even if I put 275% zoom the text size on iPad still looks like it’s 100% zoom. obviously I don’t need it to be gigantic like 275% zoom but.. it’s still too small and it should increase based on the zoom% (at least to a bigger size than the standard 100% zoom) 2. please add A copy button for my own prompts, not just edit. Right now tapping my own message only gives a pencil icon to edit it. Most other AI apps let you copy your own prompt text too, which is handy when you want to reuse or tweak it somewhere else.

Updated review: gotten a lot better.
Huge improvements over the year. Memory is really good and the image generation is a nice addition. Hoping to see more integration into the proton ecosystem(mail, drive, etc). Also voices would be nice—I’m sure it’s coming. Subscribed for the year. It’s worth it imo
