If you are on 0.1.2, Lens will offer this to you itself. Earlier versions need one manual install, after which updating is automatic.

New

  • Slash commands. Type / in the message box for /screen, /summarise, /translate, /reply, /export, /new, /model, /docs, /web and more. Arrow keys to choose, Enter to run.
  • Export a chat as Markdown, plain text or JSON.
  • Rate an answer. Thumbs up or down under any answer. Not a statistic: a rejected answer is never reused as context again, and an approved one is preferred.
  • Light theme, plus an option to follow your system.
  • A thinking indicator that says what it is doing. The word types itself out, and while a reasoning model thinks you see elapsed time and the reasoning tokens spent so far. When the answer arrives it reports how long it thought.
  • API keys in Settings for Claude, Gemini, OpenAI or Groq, at any time rather than only during first run. Keys are encrypted with your OS keychain.
  • Model server address in Settings, so Lens can use another computer's GPU.
  • Shortcuts reference in Settings, with the right keys for your platform.
  • More models suggested, fourteen now, every one able to read a screen and matched to your hardware.

Fixed

  • Answers were printed as raw Markdown, so **bold** showed its asterisks.
  • Documents can be removed one at a time.
  • A model that is not installed now names the server and lists what is available, instead of a bare 404.
  • A missing installer no longer leaves you on the release page with no explanation.

Notes

Not signed with a paid certificate, so on first install: macOS right-click the app and choose Open; Windows choose More info then Run anyway.
