v1.0.0

Heap Chat v1.0.0

First tagged release. Browse a folder like a board and chat with a local Ollama model (or any OpenAI-compatible cloud provider) about any file in it — fully local by default, no telemetry.

Platform	File

These builds are unsigned (no Apple Developer account yet) — macOS Gatekeeper will block the first launch. Right-click the app → Open → Open to bypass it once. This is normal for early open-source Electron apps and only needed the first time.

No Windows build yet — run npm run dist:win yourself from a Windows machine, or use the web app (npm start) / desktop shell from source (npm run desktop) in the meantime.

What's in this release

• Local-first RAG + a multi-step tool-using agent over your files, with citations and a self-verification pass
• Persistent memory, skills, and an auto-built profile that improve the longer you use it
• A local, LLM-free knowledge graph over people/places/tags/documents
• Photo intelligence: on-device face recognition, a geotagged photo map, perceptual-hash duplicate detection
• Multi-user accounts with server-enforced per-folder access control
• MCP client and server — connect to any MCP server, or expose your KB to Claude Desktop/Code
• Any OpenAI-compatible cloud provider as an optional second model source, alongside local Ollama
• Desktop app (Electron) with a global Quick Ask popover, or self-hosted web/PWA for LAN and phone access

See chat.heaplabs.dev for the full feature tour, or the README for self-hosting from source.

Not for manual download — these are what the app's built-in auto-updater reads to check for and apply future updates. Grab the .dmg instead.
