Lens 0.1.3
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,/weband 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.
