## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-06-30

Privacy & stability improvements.

All 17 models now have verified integrity checksums — downloads are validated on-device before the model activates. Fixed a bug where network-tool consent state wasn't saved correctly across sessions. Widget now shows the accurate downloaded model count. Improved privacy disclosures throughout the app.

### 1.4 — 2026-05-27

Stability improvements

### 1.3 — 2026-05-05

Version 1.3 — The biggest update yet.

NEW MODELS
• Qwen 3 (0.6B, 1.7B, 4B) — Alibaba's latest generation with built-in thinking mode. Watch the AI reason through problems step by step before answering. Toggle thinking on or off per message.
• Google Gemma 4 E2B — Ultra-efficient 2B model that packs surprising capability into under 1 GB. Our new recommended pick for most users.
• Google Gemma 4 E4B — More horsepower when you need it. 4B parameters with native tool calling for agent mode.

THINKING MODE
Qwen 3 models can now show their reasoning. Tap the brain icon in the toolbar to enable thinking mode — the model works through the problem internally before giving you an answer. Great for math, logic, and complex questions.

LIGHT & DARK MODE
Settings → Appearance now offers Light, Dark, or follow the system. The default stays dark, but Light mode is finally here for those who prefer it.

AGENT MODE (MAJOR UPDATE)
The built-in AI agent has been completely overhauled:
• 23 native tools — web search, web browsing, OCR, camera, image analysis, code interpreter, PDF reader, document reader, file reader/writer, clipboard, translation, URL dispatch, data analyzer, scratchpad, memory, plan mode, and more
• Approval mode — choose whether tools run automatically or need your sign-off first
• Verbose mode — see exactly what the agent is doing and why
• Max steps cap — set how many tool calls the agent can make before wrapping up
• MCP server support — connect to local MCP servers on your home network (Home Assistant, custom tool bridges, etc.)
• Agent Live Activity — track agent progress right from your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island

TEMPLATES
Tap the template icon to jump-start common tasks:
• Scan a Receipt — point your camera at a receipt, extract all line items, export to CSV or add totals to Reminders
• Business card scanner, photo description, whiteboard capture, plant and food identification, fix my writing, email draft, and more

MODEL BROWSER IMPROVEMENTS
• Three clear states — Active (loaded and running), Downloaded (on device, not loaded), and Not downloaded
• Unload button — free up RAM without closing the app
• Swap confirmation — clear dialog when switching models so you never accidentally interrupt a session
• Checkmarks now refresh immediately after deleting a model

EDIT & EXPORT
• Edit any sent message and regenerate the response from that point
• Export the full conversation as JSON

STABILITY
Dozens of fixes across this release, including stop-race guard (no more duplicate responses), Vision OOM prevention for large images, auto-load RAM gate (skips auto-load if available memory is too low), widget sync fixes, keychain credential update, and much more.
