v0.1.0

Nativ v0.1.0 is a major step forward for local AI on Apple silicon. This release adds local image generation and editing, expands the integration ecosystem, and makes model management, chat, and server operation faster and more reliable.

Highlights

• Generate and edit images locally — Use the new Images workspace, generate or edit images directly in Chat, paste images from the clipboard, or capture a screenshot. This release also adds a default image model and support for the Mage-Flow family.
• Connect more of your tools — New integrations cover Aider, Goose, Crush, Qwen Code, OpenClaw, Buzz, Zed, Continue, VS Code, Cursor, and JetBrains.
• Manage models with less friction — Nativ now detects models from custom Hugging Face caches and LM Studio, supports custom Hugging Face tokens, keeps downloads running across navigation, allows concurrent downloads, warns when a model may not fit in memory, and surfaces loading progress and failures throughout the app.
• Configure and secure the local server — Choose the server host and port, control the server from the sidebar and Settings, and keep the server API key securely in the macOS Keychain.
• Enjoy a smoother chat experience — Streamed responses are coalesced to keep the UI responsive, scrolling and menus behave more reliably, and conversations can be copied or exported as text.
• See what your Mac and Nativ are doing — Comprehensive macOS system monitoring and richer issue-report diagnostics make performance and troubleshooting easier to understand.
