0.5.1 Aug 6, 2026

0.4.0 Jul 31, 2026

New

  • First launch plays a short intro instead of the three-step setup guide. About can replay it.

0.3.3 Jul 28, 2026

Improved

  • The keyboard reference moved to About → Shortcuts, and the About links read as grouped rows.

Fixed

  • Answers no longer come back empty. Three things caused it: a search that kept rewording itself until no room was left to answer, a tool call the model wrote as plain text so nothing ran, and a length cap that cut reasoning models off before they spoke. Search now steps aside after three rounds, a call written as text still runs, the cap is gone — and a round that still ends silent is retried once, then kept in Recent marked Failed instead of vanishing with your question.

0.3.0 Jul 26, 2026

New

  • Point Notch at your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint — Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, a gateway, or a vendor not listed. The key is optional.
  • Ask about your own record: the assistant can search the questions, notes, reminders and agent tasks you've kept here.
0.2.6 Jul 26, 2026

New

  • Drag the input row out of the notch to get a standalone composer window.
  • Sending an Ask from that composer turns the window into the conversation.

0.2.5 Jul 25, 2026

New

0.2.3 Jul 24, 2026

New

  • Notch now speaks Japanese and Korean — pick 日本語 or 한국어 in Settings, or let it follow your Mac.

Improved

  • Ask ⇄ Agent now flips in one continuous move: the word wipes open beside its mark as the well slides across.
0.2.2 Jul 23, 2026

New

  • New Grok engine — pick Grok CLI for chat or Agent tasks, signed in with your own xAI account (grok login, or XAI_API_KEY).

Improved

  • A dotted thinking orb now sits by the status word — a globe while it searches, orbits while a tool runs.
  • Progress shows the instant the model reaches for a tool, not after its arguments finish streaming.

Fixed

New

  • New Agent mode — point Notch at a project folder, describe a task, and it runs autonomously in the background, powered by your own Codex or Claude CLI.
  • Agent tasks take image attachments, survive a restart with one-tap Resume, notify you when done, and join Recent & History.
  • Detach any conversation or agent run into a floating window; drag it back over the notch to merge.
  • The closed notch shows the live step and elapsed time while work runs — toggle in Settings → Appearance.
  • Proxy support, manual or auto-detected, applied to Notch and the CLIs it spawns — Settings → General.

Improved

  • Settings reorganized — a new Appearance tab; General now holds shortcut, language, launch-at-login, and proxy.
  • ⌘⇧I opens a quick picker for the agent's model and reasoning effort.
  • Correct vendor logos for more model families (Gemma, Qwen QwQ, Yi, Hunyuan, Doubao, Ernie, and more), plus Codex's real mark.
