ilo 0.1.7

ilo 0.1.7

Little ilo grows into a full window, with its own command bar, its pinned extensions and full screen, and sends its page to any Space. The agent surfaces say what needs you and how far the agent has got. It stays on Chromium 156.0.8078.79. On the Mac, and on Windows when installed with the installer, ilo updates itself to it. Flatpak copies update through Flatpak. What changed, with more detail: https://ilobrowser.com/changelog#0.1.7

What's new

• Little ilo opens its command bar inside its window, from ⌘L and ⌘T. Open in and its Spaces menu send its page to any Space. On the Mac it grows in from under the pointer.
• Little ilo's bar has your pinned extensions at its title's end, with their popups and menus, and a page's video goes full screen in the Little ilo window. Esc leaves full screen and keeps the window.
• The agent surfaces say what needs you. An agent's card has one primary button, Allow Once, Show Tab or Hand Back, and says how far the agent has got: "Step 5 · Clicking …", "Stopped after 6 steps", or "Needs you" and why. The conversation's header counts steps and pages.
• A ⌘T task's Always Allow and Never answers belong to its CLI, Claude or Codex. Settings › Agents lists them under "What Claude may do from ⌘T", each with Revoke. Answers an earlier version kept for a single task are cleared at launch.
• The import reads at a glance, in Settings and on the first launch: one line for each kind of data with its count, fewer words at each step, and one row with the counts when it's done.
• Screen readers (VoiceOver, Narrator and Orca) name the controls in Settings' Sync, Links, About and import views, by what each one does.

What's fixed

All platforms

• A desktop app's sign-in that opens in Little ilo hands back to the app when it's done.
• The open-app dialog's "Always allow" line wraps inside the dialog instead of running past its edge.

Get it

• macOS: Macs with Apple silicon. Download ilo-mac-arm64.dmg.
• Windows 10 and 11, x64: download ilo-windows-x64-setup.exe. It isn't signed yet, so Windows may warn before running it. winget (winget install ilo.ilo) and the Microsoft Store follow once each accepts ilo.
• Linux: Flatpak, from flatpak.ilobrowser.com. Run flatpak install --user https://github.com/MartinPTielemans/ilo/releases/latest/download/ilo.flatpakref

SHA256SUMS lists each file's checksum.

Known gaps

• Windows: Japanese input is tested in pages and the address bar. One case is still open: text typed right after Ctrl+L, while the page is still answering the shortcut, is composed in the page instead of the address bar.
• On Wayland, leaving full screen with Esc can draw the page at its full-screen size for a moment before it fits the window.

The Mac build needs macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, on Apple silicon.
