• Pick from ~90 LiteLLM providers with your own API key
• Vision-only model list (built for screen capture)
• Searchable provider/model pickers, 10-minute model cache, auto-save API key

Hotkeys & capture

• Rebind capture hotkey in Console → System
• Windows detects shortcut conflicts before saving

• Real PNG encoding for vision APIs

Console

• Home live/sleep toggle, Chats history, Model + System settings

Reliability

• Fresh install no longer crashes on first launch (missing settings file)
• LiteLLM drops unsupported params per provider

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.1

v0.2.0

Mimir v0.2.0

Console chat history, a sturdier floating card, and a cleaner release build.

New

• Persistent chat history — threads saved locally under app data; browse and resume from the Chats tab in Console or the clock icon on the floating card
• Hotkey behavior setting — choose whether Ctrl+Shift+E opens a new chat or your latest thread (Console → System)
• Card lock — double-click the header to pin the card on top; it won’t auto-hide on blur while locked
• Fullscreen expand — expand the chat card to fill the current monitor
• In-card history menu — quick switch between recent threads without opening Console

Improved

• Window lifecycle — closing the card hides it instead of destroying it, so the hotkey keeps working reliably
• Hotkey debounce — rapid hotkey presses no longer spawn overlapping capture runs
• Console window — recreated on demand if closed; behaves like a proper config hub
• Capture errors — failures surface in the card instead of silently opening an empty chat
• Shared chat UI — Console and floating card use the same ChatPanel component

Fixes

• Production capture sidecar — rebuild with capture.spec so overlay + text capture bundle correctly (see README)
• Context banner — long captured text no longer clips awkwardly

Developer / packaging

• Sidecar binaries removed from git; build via pyinstaller capture.spec + pyinstaller chat.spec → stage_binaries.py
• chat.rs renamed to stream.rs (sidecar streaming command)
