Off Grid 0.0.103-beta.3 (beta)

Features

• New Model Loading modes: pick Lean, Balanced, or Aggressive to control how many models stay in memory at once.
• The model selector now shows what is currently loaded and how much RAM it is using, with a per-model eject and an Eject All that frees everything, including voice and transcription sidecars.
• Transcription (STT) and Text to Speech (TTS) now appear in Model Settings.
• Remote models are marked with a cloud badge in the Models sheet so you can tell local from remote at a glance.
• When a vision model is missing its projector file, you now get a Repair action (wrench icon) instead of a bare "not supported" message.
• New "Stay in the loop" card in Settings and links on the About screen to follow @alichherawalla on X and join Slack.

Fixes

• Voice notes and chat-mode dictation now transcribe reliably and drop the text into the input box instead of failing silently.
• The voice-mode mic turns into a Stop button during generation, stops when you leave the screen, and no longer opens a second session on a double tap.
• A background transcription-model download now shows a real download ring, not a mic that looks stuck loading.
• Failed downloads now show up on the badge and in the Download Manager instead of disappearing.
• Download retry on iOS works again, marks the item as queued right away, and queued downloads survive an app kill or restart.
• Retrying an image-model download recovers from a failed extraction instead of erroring out.
• Vision models pair with the correct projector file and refuse a mismatched one, and images can only be sent to a model that actually supports vision.
• Stopping generation keeps the partial reply you already saw, including reasoning, and a stopped turn is no longer mislabeled as an error, an incompatible backend, or "cut off at the token limit."
• A genuine token-limit cutoff now shows a clear cut-off indicator.
• The Thinking toggle now applies to the turn you are on, with no off-by-one delay.
• Changing the model-loading mode now takes effect immediately and ejects the previous residents.
• Image settings (size, guidance, steps) now use the values you set rather than a stale snapshot, and Reset to Defaults also resets image parameters.
• Prompt enhancement now streams its progress and produces a clean prompt instead of leaking the model's thinking into the image request.
• The load spinner now appears on the model row you tapped, and a GPU load that falls back to CPU is now visible instead of a silent downgrade.
• The context-length slider now allows up to the model's real trained maximum.
• On iOS, opening the image viewer no longer wedges the chat input, and switching to the photo picker in voice mode no longer hangs audio.
• Knowledge-base search is only sent when you turn it on, never auto-injected, and a failed index now rolls back cleanly.
• Deleting a project no longer orphans its chats, and a new chat started when the context is full stays listed under its project.

Improvements

• First launch paints faster; download-state recovery no longer blocks the first screen.
• Memory estimates now account for GPU buffers so Aggressive mode does not overcommit and cause a load to fail.
• Android GPU model loads get more time on first run, so a slow kernel compile no longer silently drops you to CPU.
• Thinking support is now detected from the model's own chat template, so reasoning models correctly show the Thinking toggle and their reasoning while streaming.
• A misbehaving tool can no longer flood the model with a huge result and push your conversation out of context.
• Message attachments (a voice note above an image) now stack vertically instead of overlapping.
