0.1.0-alpha.12

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.12

Added

• The AI engine's heartbeat lives in the titlebar now: a pulse icon that
  animates with an amber dot whenever AI work is running — chat, email
  insights, background prompts, or a model loading. Click it any time to
  open the AI Activity page and see exactly what's happening.

Changed

• The browser's reader view strips much more page clutter — menus,
  social share bars, "related stories" blocks, newsletter prompts, and
  link-heavy navigation that carries no class name at all — while
  keeping the article and its inline links intact. Body text now reads
  like Notes and Journal: system font at reading size, with the serif
  reserved for the title and headings.
• The AI Activity status card says where your model actually runs: with
  a server or API model as your brain, it now reads "Your model runs on
  your server" instead of implying the current model is whatever
  happens to sit in local memory — a leftover local model is called out
  as exactly that.

Fixed

• The assistant's status dot no longer flips to "Busy" right after
  "Preparing…" during startup — the whole warm-up now reads "Warming
  up…", and "Busy" is reserved for real work like email insights or a
  chat running in another conversation.

0.1.0-alpha.11

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.11

Added

• AI Activity (System group in the sidebar): a live view of what the
  AI engine is doing on this Mac — current and recent work in plain
  words, not logs. Click any row for the details: what ran, who started
  it, which model, how big the request was, how long it took, with a
  jump into the full LLM logs. If the GPU spins up while you're not
  chatting, this page shows why.
• The sidebar can now be minimized: hover it and click the chevron to
  collapse to an icon strip on every page. Hovering the strip still
  flies it open; the choice is remembered.

Changed

• llama.cpp is now the one local AI engine — Ollama support was removed.
  Model entries carry over automatically.
• 16 GB (and smaller) Macs run local AI strictly one request at a time:
  parallel generations were halving each other's speed. Your chat takes
  priority, and background work waits for a pause in the conversation
  instead of squeezing between your messages.
• Email insights are leaner: responses are JSON-constrained and capped
  (a verbose model could previously decode for many minutes per email),
  and every judged email is remembered — including "nothing here" — so
  the same mail is never analyzed twice.
• The assistant's memory-notes pass runs far less often and stays out of
  your way; the conversation-goal pass is skipped entirely on 16 GB Macs.
• Recurring prompts are now called background prompts everywhere.
• First-run setup now recommends Qwen3.5 9B on 16 GB Macs; Gemma 4 12B
  and E4B remain one click away.
• Notes: automatic tag suggestions were removed (manual tags unchanged).
• Quieter chrome: the titlebar quick-add buttons are gone, and detail
  titles in Actions and chat headings sit a calmer size.

Fixed

• A context-size mismatch made llama-server reload the whole model on
  nearly every call on 17–32 GB Macs — AI felt minutes-slow until it was
  found. Both "auto" tables now agree for every RAM size.
• Switching local models no longer throws an uncaught error.
• The assistant's status dot is honest now: it shows Busy when the
  engine is mid-way through background work, and a message sent then
  says what it's waiting for instead of showing anonymous dots.
• Memory wiki pages: the editor expands to fit long pages instead of
  clipping them at a fixed height.

0.1.0-alpha.10

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.10

Added

• Notes is now a three-pane notebook: filters, list, and the note
  itself — always open, always editable, autosaved. Quick capture at
  the top of the list, full-text search as you type, and [[wiki
  links]] between notes with backlinks and tag-based related notes.
  With a local model configured, quiet tag suggestions appear under
  the note.
• The assistant's memory grew from fixed sections into a wiki of topic
  pages: it starts pages for people, projects, and themes on its own,
  and reads the right page back when a conversation needs it. Browse
  and edit everything via memory in the chat header.
• Actions: search across tasks, goals, and focus areas from the header
  — Cmd/Ctrl+F focuses it, arrow keys walk the results.
• Ask the assistant for a recurring prompt in plain chat ("every
  morning, show me…") and it sets up the scheduled prompt for you —
  you approve it before it's created.

Fixed

• Dark mode: invisible modal text and a handful of undefined colors.
• Chat no longer looks idle while the assistant works silently through
  tools mid-turn — it names what it's doing.
• Actions: a pending filing suggestion clears once you file the task
  yourself.
• Smoother 12B-model behavior on 16 GB Macs: background jobs queue
  instead of piling on, and the model unloads under memory pressure.

Changed

• The project moved to its own GitHub organization:
  github.com/Anjadhe/Anjadhe.
  Existing installs keep updating seamlessly.
• Scheduled prompt runs know no one is watching — they finish the job
  instead of asking clarifying questions into the void.

0.1.0-alpha.9

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.9

Added

• Links open in Anjadhe's own browser, iOS-style: click a link in the
  feed, a chat, a note, a journal entry, or a bookmark and it opens in
  an in-app browser tab with a slim "‹ Back" strip that returns you
  exactly where you were — the post you were reading, the chat, the
  note.
• A feed post and its prompt now link to each other: the post's meta
  line opens the prompt note, and a prompt note shows its recent runs
  as compact feed cards.
• Web search: a per-provider "Parallel searches" setting.

Fixed

• Links in feed posts did nothing when clicked — they now open
  reliably (in the in-app browser).
• With a server as your AI brain, background work (email insights,
  goal updates, feed prompts) no longer probes local Ollama first —
  it goes straight to your server, and the console stops filling with
  connection-refused errors.
• Task lists under goals and focus areas show abandoned tasks as
  resolved instead of pending.
• "Suggest tasks" no longer lands every suggestion on the same date.

Changed

• The About page says the same things in half the words.

0.1.0-alpha.8

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.8

Added

• When an update has finished downloading, the home page now shows an
  "Update ready" card with a Restart & update button — a more visible
  companion to the titlebar pill. Dismiss it and it stays gone for that
  version; either way, the update still installs automatically the next
  time you quit.

0.1.0-alpha.7

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.7

Added

• The About page links to Anjadhe's public source code on GitHub — you
  don't have to take the privacy claims on faith.

Changed

• Abandoned tasks now count as done everywhere. Marking a task
  abandoned (deliberately not doing it) resolves it across the whole
  app, exactly like completing: it checks off in every task list,
  disappears from the calendar, stops its reminders, and the assistant
  treats it as finished instead of pending or overdue. The assistant
  can also record an abandonment when you tell it you're not doing
  something.
• A lighter setup checklist. Connecting Google is one step —
  turning your inbox into tasks happens automatically after you
  connect, so it's no longer a separate chore. The web-search step is
  gone (add a search key any time in Settings › AI), and "Add a
  frontier model" now appears only on Macs under 32 GB, where the
  local model can't carry the assistant on its own.

Fixed

• The home-page setup nudge could claim "4 of 5 done" while the
  Settings checklist showed everything complete; the two now always
  agree.

v0.1.0-alpha.6

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.6

Fixed

• Auto-update actually works now: releases ship the ZIP the macOS
  updater installs from. Installs of alpha.4 and alpha.5 detected new
  versions but silently failed to download them — this release is the
  first they can update to; from here on, updates apply on quit.

v0.1.0-alpha.5

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.5

A small follow-up to alpha.4.

Added

• A lighter local model option in the catalog for Macs with less memory.

Changed

• The feed and the post reading page now share one, slightly smaller
  type scale.
• Copy touch-ups across the app.

Fixed

• Releases publish immediately instead of landing as invisible drafts,
  so the in-app updater sees them right away.

v0.1.0-alpha.4

Anjadhe v0.1.0-alpha.4 — one assistant, private by default

This alpha rolls up several months of work and is the first release built
and published through the new pipeline. The theme: one assistant that lives
with your data — private by default, honest about where everything runs.

Added

• A real assistant. One chat that reads your tasks, goals, notes,
  journal, email insights, and calendar — and acts: creates tasks and notes,
  files action items, searches the web (bring a free Tavily key), reads
  pages, and takes on long jobs as planned, approvable tasks. It keeps
  durable memory you can read and edit, shows a Sources row built from what
  it actually did, and a per-chat chip switches to plain chatbot mode.
• Artifacts. Ask for a document, a slide deck, or a small interactive
  page — the assistant builds it and it exports to PDF. Maker does the same
  from a single prompt with its own web research.
• Bring your own frontier model. OpenAI and Anthropic can be added as
  model entries with your own API key — an explicit per-model choice, never
  a fallback. Local stays the default; a server you own remains supported.
• Chat attachments. Drop text files or PDFs into the composer; parsing
  happens on your Mac.
• Build your own apps. App Studio builds simple apps from a
  description, and any coding agent pointed at ~/Anjadhe/apps/ can build
  richer ones — new apps get storage, encrypted backup, sync, and the
  assistant's attention automatically.
• Sync passphrase. Optionally wrap the sync encryption key in a
  passphrase (Settings → Storage & Backup) so your iCloud alone can't
  read your data.

Changed

• First run, redesigned. The welcome draws the privacy boundary —
  your data inside a frame labeled "Your Mac" — then downloads one good
  local model (Gemma 4 12B QAT) through the app's built-in llama.cpp
  engine; no separate installs. You land in the assistant, with a
  waking-up page while the model loads the first time.
• Actions is now two tabs. Tasks opens to Today — one finishable list,
  with Tomorrow, This Week, This Month, Later, and each focus area a click
  away — and Plan holds focus areas with their goals. The assistant files
  loose items, suggests goal breakdowns, and runs a five-minute weekly
  review.
• Email insights. Bundles for the noise, summaries for what matters,
  and action items that land in Actions on the right day — analysis on
  your Mac.
• Setup checklist became a discovery panel. A quiet "Learn what else
  you can do" pill replaces the auto-opening checklist; it now also covers
  the web-search key and bring-your-own-model options.
• Copy is honest everywhere. Present-tense privacy claims only, and
  the same plain language in the app and on anjadhe.com.

Fixed

• Fresh installs now show the downloaded model in the composer's model
  menu and the Settings model library (the entry list no longer
  initializes empty during setup).
• The packaged app includes the llama.cpp manager (previous packaged
  builds would have failed at launch) and the universal build no longer
  breaks on a stray native module.
• Dozens of smaller fixes: notes title focus ring, streamed reasoning
  contrast, breadcrumb spacing, OAuth result pages styled to match.
