10.31.0 - 2026-10-22

Ghostex 10.31.0 is out. Pictures in floating pages open in the chat's image viewer, waiting messages can go back to the chat box, Windows repairs itself after an antivirus removes a helper program, downloads are smaller, and Read aloud arrives as an experimental feature.

💬 Chat

  • Click a picture in a floating page to open it in the chat's image viewer inside the page window, with the same buttons and zoom, and arrows (or the Left and Right keys) to step through the page's pictures.
  • A floating page closes on a second click outside, so a stray click no longer loses it; Escape and its close button still close it at once.
  • A floating page reopens where you left it scrolled, and a Refresh button appears at its top right when the agent changes the page's file.
  • Floating pages, table previews and diagrams open at 80% of the window's width and 95% of its height.
  • A waiting message gets a Back to composer arrow next to its play button for Claude Code and Grok Build: it takes the message out of the agent's queue and puts it back in your chat box, unsent.
  • Back to composer and the Up key now work for Grok Build's queued messages too.
  • The play button on a waiting message no longer cancels the message it was clicked for, and does nothing once the agent has already started it.
  • Arabic and other right-to-left languages read right to left in the chat box and the transcript: such a line is right-aligned, the arrow keys follow it, and Windows no longer draws it reversed.
  • Ghostex in a browser shows Arabic, Persian and Urdu text instead of empty boxes.
  • The pink question dot counts only the questions still waiting for you.

📱 On the phone

  • Tap a waiting message's play icon to interrupt the agent and send it now, or tap the arrow beside it to bring the message back to the chat box.
  • Read aloud works on the phone in the chats of a computer that has it on, with its own voice and speed, and Auto-read keeps going with the phone locked.

🔊 Read aloud

  • Read aloud speaks the agent's final replies on the Mac and in Ghostex in a browser, as an experimental feature: turn on Enable Experimental Features, then switch on Read aloud in Settings > Extensions > Store.
  • Auto-read in the chat's ⋯ menu reads each finished reply of the chat on screen; choose the voice and speed in Settings > Chat.

🪟 Windows

  • Ghostex repairs itself when an antivirus removes one of its helper programs instead of failing every start, and when the installed copy is gone too, it names the file and how to restore it from Protection history.
  • A background service start that hangs for three minutes is replaced on the next launch.

🩺 When something goes wrong

  • Ghostex waits while its background service is still starting instead of failing with "Could not read gxserver response".
  • Send Bug / Feedback can open a GitHub issue in your browser when the background service is not answering, with your message and the startup diagnostics filled in and your personal details removed.
  • ghostex bundle collects its diagnostics even when the background service is down.
  • A saved key or sign-in that can no longer be read says so in Settings > Voice agent and Settings > Connectors, with a way to paste or sign in again.

📦 Smaller downloads

  • Linux packages are much smaller: the x64 rpm drops from 119 to 75 MB, the deb from 92 to 76 MB, and the built-in browser component from 366 to 152 MB.
  • The macOS download is about 9 MB smaller and the Windows zip about 4 MB smaller.

🩹 Fixes and polish

  • The Linux deb installs on Debian 11 again.
  • Japanese input picks conversion candidates with Up and Down again.
  • Quick Access's project, scope and tag pickers have a proper search field.
  • A folded coordinator in the sidebar shows the highlight when one of its hidden threads is the session on screen, on the computer and the phone.
  • ghostex settings open --tab opens Voice agent, Connectors and Workspaces.

Windows beta packages are not Authenticode-signed and may show a SmartScreen warning.
