2.6.0 Release

CODEZY 2.6.0 — the local-first AI coding assistant now updates itself.

Install: download CODEZY-Setup-2.6.0.exe, run it, next → next. It
installs over your existing version and keeps every setting, chat and folder.

What's new in 2.6.0

• It updates itself — a quiet pill in the top bar appears when GitHub is
  ahead: one click streams the installer with a live percentage, then restarts
  and installs in place. No second updater app, no second install, no
  window stealing focus. The pill can be dismissed per version; turn the
  launch check off in Settings → about (/update checks on demand).
• The cowork tree never loses folders again — a file cap used to silently
  drop every folder behind it. Folders are always walked now, only file rows
  are capped, and each cut is marked (… 12 more files, … deeper folders are hidden). The ignored chip now shows dist, venv, .vscode while
  still hiding .git and node_modules.
• Git at a glance — M / A / D / ? letter badges on every file, one
  git status per root with a 2.5 s timeout; a git chip toggles them.
• Edit history — /history lists every backup taken before an edit,
  newest first. Restoring snapshots the current files first (double-press is
  safe), refuses anything outside the linked folders, never touches binaries.
• Quick follow-ups — Continue · Explain · Review it · Add tests chips
  under the last reply (never while it's still streaming).
• Settings you can carry — export/import settings as .json (folders
  deliberately excluded), send a test notification, and custom instructions
  now sit in their own ## Instructions from you block above everything else.
• 948 regression checks across 21 batches, all green.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen warns on first run:
click More info → Run anyway. (A signing certificate removes this
permanently.)

Requirements: Windows 10/11 x64 · local Ollama or a cloud key · no account.

3.1.4

just skipping 3.1.4 for tests for the site

3.1.3

just a new theme

CODEZY 3.1.2

CODEZY 3.1.2
Claude Code–style chat for your models — local first, cloud ready.

Installer, folder-less v2 chats, and two bug fixes.

Install
Download CODEZY-Setup-3.1.2.exe, run it, done — one click, installs per-user with no admin prompt. Silent install still works: CODEZY-Setup-3.1.2.exe /S.

What's new
New installer look. The grey dialog is gone. The installing window is now a compact dark, Chrome-setup-style panel: dark title bar, CODEZY mark top-center, a quiet "Installing…" line, a thin Google-blue progress bar, and a plain-text Cancel that still triggers the normal abort confirmation. Purely cosmetic — silent installs (/S), the uninstall entry and in-app updates behave exactly as before.
v2 chats no longer require a linked folder. Linking a folder was only ever needed for code mode, but a chat without one silently dropped to plain chat even with v2 enabled. The check is now "is this code mode?" instead of "is a folder linked?" — plain v2 chats work immediately, and code mode still asks you to link a folder when it needs file access.
Fixed: acrylic theme broke the delete confirmation. Deleting a chat in the acrylic (Windows blur) theme opened the confirm menu over an unblurred hole. The blur is re-applied the moment the menu opens.
Fixed: effort/mode popover hop. The two badges' popovers could open on top of each other, making the pointer "hop to mode" when picking an effort level. They now fan outward (left badge opens left, right opens right) and never intersect.
Requirements
Windows 10/11 (x64)
Ollama for local models — or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Nebius, OpenRouter, Groq, DeepSeek, Together, Mistral, OpenAI, LM Studio …)
Upgrade
Just run the new installer — it updates in place, keeps your sessions, settings and linked folders.

First official Release v2.3.0 first

Claude Code–style chat for your models, running locally. CODEZY is an Electron desktop client for Ollama with an in-chat coding agent (read/write files, run commands, web search, todos), a cowork pane to watch it work, and a matching terminal TUI.
