Lantern 0.6.0

Forms in the chat, plans and goals, and long chats that keep a running summary. Bots write pages, make slide decks and share files, with previews for PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML and iPhone photos. One-click sign-in to MCP apps like Notion, Linear and Sentry. Smarter approvals: commands that could wreck the machine always ask, and rules can cover one bot, an hour or until tomorrow. Ctrl+K search, quoting with Ctrl+L, emoji shortcodes, sidebar sections, 41 new templates, sharing a bot as a link, and bots that can change their own look.

Install the app for your device below. To share one environment across your devices, run your own Lantern Hub: see docs/HUB.md.

Lantern 0.5.0

Your hub now runs your bots. Start a chat on your phone, lock it, and the answer is there when you look again. Routines run on time with every app closed.

• A browser for each bot, on your hub, for sites that need clicking or signing in. Watch it and take over from the bot's Browser tab.
• Routines can start when a webhook is called (GitHub, Home Assistant, a script) or when mail arrives.
• Bots can ask each other for help or hand off a whole task. Make one your primary bot and it checks in each morning.
• Talk to your bots from Telegram, get phone notifications through ntfy, and give a bot its own inbox.
• Optional self-hosted Firecrawl for search and reading pages, with site maps and crawls.

Hub owners: rerun install.sh from the new hub archive (add LANTERN_BROWSER=1 for the browser). See docs/HUB.md.

Lantern 0.4.1

Android now installs its own updates. The first time it asks you to allow it and confirm; after that, on Android 12 and later, updates install on their own when you switch away from Lantern. Onboarding also scrolls properly on phones.

Lantern 0.4.0

A new look. Lantern now has a design of its own: enamel green, ink on paper, and approvals that hang off a bot's work like a tag. New logo and icons, flat avatar colors, and a website at https://exyze.github.io/lantern/.

Lantern 0.3.0

Subagents: bots can hand tasks to helpers that work in parallel. Sandboxes: on a Lantern Hub, a bot can keep its files and commands in its own sandbox.
