OpenPlot AI v1.1.1 — crash fix for API key validation

Hotfix release: the app could exit instantly while validating or testing an API key against a misbehaving relay or local endpoint. Windows Event Log showed silent V8 fast-fail crashes (0xc0000409) with the same fault offset since v1.0.2.

Fixed

• Key validation can no longer kill the app — the main-process HTTP layer now caps buffered response bodies at 8 MB, so a hostile or buggy endpoint streaming an unbounded body fails with a clear error instead of exhausting the heap.
• fetchModels caps the rendered model list at 400 entries (some relays return absurd lists that froze the renderer).
• updateProvider tolerates partial payloads instead of throwing on undefined bindings.
• The main process installs uncaughtException / render-process-gone guards — internal errors now surface as a toast or dialog instead of silently closing the app.

Verification

• The fix was validated against a real relay provider (key accepted, 35 models fetched) with the app alive through every step.
• Packaged-build smoke test included in the repo (scripts/smoke-packaged.mjs).

Full changelog: see CHANGELOG.md.

OpenPlot AI v1.1.0

OpenPlot AI v1.1.0 — reply styles, drag & drop attachments, and token usage tracking.

✨ New Features

Reply styles (Claude-style)

Six builtin personas — Default, Concise, Explanatory, Editorial, Empathetic, Formal — now shape how the assistant writes. Pick one from the composer's sparkle button, edit builtins or add your own in Settings → Styles. Your pick is injected into every reply as a "# Reply style" instruction.

Attachments as chips + drag & drop

Files attached via the + ADD panel now land as removable chips above the composer instead of being pasted into your text. Even better: drag OS files straight onto the message area — or drag a story-bible entry or chapter right out of the Story/Chapters views into the chat. The drop target lights up so you know it's ready. Attached content rides in the model context; your composer text stays clean.

Token usage tracking

Every reply records prompt and completion tokens — exact when the provider reports usage, estimated otherwise. A compact chip on each message shows in→out counts, and the new Settings → Usage section summarizes totals per model and per chat.

Smarter agent tools

The agent gained four tools: read_story_bible (the whole bible in one call), append_to_chapter (safe end/beginning append that can't overwrite your prose), list_projects and read_project. The system prompt now advertises the real tool registry.

Default skills, preinstalled

Four starter skills ship on first run: Continuity Guardian, Prose Polisher, Dialogue Coach, Pacing Analyst. Editable and deletable like your own skills.

Workspace comfort

• Pinned chats — keep important conversations at the top of the sidebar
• Zen mode — chat chrome dims while you read or write (Esc to exit)
• Hideable sidebar — full-width chat when you want it
• EPUB export takes the author name and language from Settings

🐛 Fixes

• Deep search returned wrong match counts for queries containing % or _
• Deleting a message while a reply is generating is now refused cleanly instead of stranding the reply
• Message content/thinking can be cleared again (updateMessage made tri-state)
• Chat rows found via deep search but not by title lacked rename/delete actions
• Contrast fix for the active style button on the Nord theme
• Plugin sandbox risk is now documented honestly in the source

Full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

v1.0.2

Universal macOS release.

• macOS builds are now universal binaries: a single dmg (and a main zip) containing both Intel and Apple silicon, alongside the smaller arm64-only zip.
• Windows and Linux assets unchanged.
• Promo content for the launch posts now lives in the repository under promo/.

Downloads: pick the asset for your platform below. All builds are unsigned; on macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time if Gatekeeper complains.

OpenPlot AI 1.0.1

OpenPlot AI 1.0.1

Focus reliability release. Fixes the intermittent "can't type anywhere" bug and related keyboard focus issues.

Fixed

• Typing randomly stopped working across the app (composer, chapter editor, titles) after dismissing a confirmation dialog. Native confirm() steals keyboard focus from the window and never restores it; all confirmations are now rendered in-app, and every dialog returns focus to the application when it closes.
• Closing the command palette left keyboard focus on a removed element; focus is now returned to the application.
• Opening a modal now moves focus into the dialog, and closing it restores focus, so keyboard navigation always continues from a sane place.
• Hidden chapter reorder buttons are now revealed when reached with keyboard navigation (focus-within).

Downloads

Two packaging styles are provided per platform:

• Full app: a single installer or self-contained file (Windows NSIS setup, macOS DMG in Intel and Apple silicon builds, Linux AppImage).
• Folder: a compressed archive containing the application directory, for portable installs (Windows zip, macOS zip, Linux tar.gz).

OpenPlot AI 1.0.0

OpenPlot AI 1.0.0

First public release. A local-first AI chat and story-writing studio for Windows, macOS and Linux.

• Multi-provider chat: OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Streaming replies, reasoning display, agent tools, prompt library and @-mentions.
• Story bible for worlds, locations, characters, items and lore, with tags, search and cross-links.
• Chapters with statuses, reading-order reordering, focus mode, scene boards and version history with restore.
• Story flow: a three-act outline board linkable to chapters.
• Writing statistics: daily goals, streaks, a 90-day activity heatmap and per-project stakes with AI arc analysis.
• Project export to Markdown, plain-text manuscript and EPUB.
• Plugins, skills, automations and an MCP server registry for extensibility.
• All data stored locally in SQLite; API keys encrypted at rest with the OS credential vault. English and Bahasa Indonesia.

Downloads

Two packaging styles are provided per platform:

• Full app: a single installer or self-contained file (Windows NSIS setup, macOS DMG, Linux AppImage).
• Folder: a compressed archive containing the application directory, for portable installs (Windows zip, macOS zip in Intel and Apple silicon builds, Linux tar.gz).

An Intel macOS disk image is planned for the next release; Intel users can use the zip archive in the meantime.
