What's New in OpenClient

1.6.5

August 2, 2026

Hi there! We've got some great new features for you in this update. ***1.6.5: • Minor bug fixes and improvements for a smoother experience. ***Latest Updates: • New widgets. • Assistant messages now render the full markdown toolkit: blockquotes, lists with nesting, task lists, horizontal rulers, code blocks with language labels, tables, and inline images all display natively in the chat. • Steer conversations mid-stream, send a follow-up message while the model is still generating; the current stream is cancelled, the partial response is preserved, and your new message continues the conversation with full context. • Connect MCP servers (Model Context Protocol) to give the model access to external tools like GitHub, databases, and more, all configured from your LiteLLM server. • Browse your MCP servers in a dedicated sheet from the chat input bar or from Settings, then drill into each server to enable or disable individual tools with a master toggle. • A new collapsible actions bar keeps the chat composer clean: attachment, web search, and MCP buttons are tucked behind a single + / × toggle, auto-collapsing after use or when sending a message. • Contextual tips introduce MCP servers when the feature becomes available, following the same unobtrusive pattern as other feature tips. • Minor bug fixes and improvements for a smoother experience. Thanks for your continued support and for helping us build the best possible LLM client together. Remember: you can suggest and vote on new features from the Feedback section in settings.

Exactly what is needed for LMStudio

I was looking for a way to access my self hosted LLM models from my phone and iPad. This app does everything I needed. It took a minute to figure out the web search, but just using the LiteLLM proxy did the trick.

Also, for the App Developer, better documentation about the search globe symbol in the prompt box would be helpful. Blue means it’s working. Red means it isn’t. And > means the user enabled it.
