ZiG v0.2.0 — Smarter, Faster, Fully Redesigned
Pre-release🚀 ZiG v0.2.0 — Smarter, Faster, Fully Redesigned
The second public release of ZiG (Zen i Guess).
Since v0.1, ZiG has received a complete UI redesign, a significantly smarter on-device decision pipeline, and numerous UX improvements—while staying true to the principles it was built on:
- 🔒 100% on-device processing
- 🚫 No cloud
- 🚫 No telemetry
- 🚫 No accounts
- 🌐 No internet connection required
✨ What's New
🎨 Complete UI Redesign
The interface has been rebuilt from the ground up using Jetpack Compose and Material 3.
Highlights include:
- Cleaner and more consistent visual design
- Faster notification triage
- Improved navigation throughout the app
- Reduced friction across the entire experience
📥 Notification Review
Notification Review has been redesigned into a fast, one-tap inbox.
- ✅ Approve or block notifications instantly
- ↩️ Undo is always available
- ⚡ Faster workflow with fewer interactions
🧠 Smarter & More Efficient Decision Pipeline
⚡ Deterministic Exact-Match Cache (New)
Before running any AI inference, ZiG now checks whether a notification has already been seen.
If the newest notification message exactly matches one you've previously approved or blocked:
- No embedding generation
- No TensorFlow Lite inference
- No KNN similarity search
Instead, your previous decision is replayed instantly.
The cache is:
- Case-insensitive
- Database index-backed
- Based on the newest message in a notification, allowing repeated messages in long conversations to be recognized correctly
This dramatically reduces latency for recurring notifications while also lowering CPU usage.
🧩 Improved Classification
The on-device ensemble has been made significantly more robust.
Changes include:
- Stronger consensus requirements before decisions are made
- Better interaction between the base classifier and Personal Memory
- Reduced influence from sparse or ambiguous user history
This results in more stable predictions while still allowing the model to gradually adapt to your personal preferences.
⚠️ Known Limitations
ZiG is still an early preview release.
Areas actively being improved include:
- ML classification accuracy
- Personal Memory adaptation
- Additional rule capabilities
- UI polish
- Performance optimizations
