Highlights

This release makes Localix work the way Claude Code does: one agent per chat with subagents, Claude
Code's tool names, memory, commands and status line, and mini apps you can make from either app. The
Store and Settings are laid out anew.

Added

• Make mini apps from Claude Code too: the built-in mini-app-authoring plugin works the same
  in Localix and in Claude Code (/plugin install mini-app-authoring@localix).
  /mini-app-authoring:create <what it should do> creates the app in your project, checks it and
  installs it into the running Localix; /mini-app-authoring:publish packs it into a catalog others
  can add, and /mini-app-authoring:get-localix installs Localix itself. See
  Build a mini app with the agent.
• MCP servers' prompts are slash commands: a connected server's prompts appear in the composer
  menu and run as /mcp__<server>__<prompt> with their arguments. /mcp groups servers by where
  they come from and can reconnect, enable or disable one, and a WebSocket server now receives its
  configured headers.
• More of Claude Code's commands: /init, /status, /hooks, /diff, /add-dir and
  /export work as in Claude Code, and /compact takes a context checkpoint by hand and tells your
  PreCompact hooks. A Claude Code command Localix cannot run says why instead of "unknown".
• Claude Code's status line under the message box: your statusLine command gets what Claude
  Code gives it, including whether the prompt cache is still warm, and its rows show with their
  colors and links.
• Store recommendations: Discover opens with a For your work row ranked against your open
  tabs, project and installed packages, and a Recommended for you strip appears above the
  composer.

Changed

• Subagents work as in Claude Code: the assistant starts one with Agent, talks to it with
  SendMessage and stops it with TaskStop, with Claude Code's own fields, so skills and agent
  files written for Claude Code run unchanged. Up to 10 run at once (was 3) and several start
  together; a subagent works in the background, can ask the agent a question, and its whole answer
  arrives as a message. Its card is titled by its task and says truthfully whether it is queued,
  running, waiting for an answer, done or stopped. See Subagents.
• Tools have one name, Claude Code's: every built-in tool is named as in Claude Code (Bash,
  Read, AskUserQuestion, Agent) in the tool list, permission rules, hooks and the
  conversation. Existing rules and past conversations are updated on first start; an agent file's
  tools, a skill's allowed-tools, a hook matcher or a mod's tool filter must use the new
  names. Tool cards show what a tool was called with under In and what came back under Out,
  and a run of calls reads as a sentence: "Started 2 agents, ran 1 command". See
  Tool names.
• Memory lives in Claude Code's own folder: a chat loads the MEMORY.md of
  ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/, the one Claude Code keeps, so what you taught either app
  the other already knows. /memory shows the folder and /memory <fact> saves a fact. See
  Memory.
• A new Store and Settings layout: the Store has search and your library (Installed, Updates,
  Yours, Sources) on one row and the catalog as tabs beneath, and opens on Discover. Settings shows
  its sections as tabs across the top instead of a sidebar.
• The tip strip stays put: the tips above the message box no longer blink in and out; a tip
  stays between turns and when you switch chats, and the next one follows a few seconds later.
• Lighter requests: rarely used tools wait in ToolSearch until the assistant needs them, as in
  Claude Code, and TaskStop stops any background work, so every request carries fewer tokens.
• Language servers install when you need them: they no longer ship inside the app. The first
  time you open a file of a language, its server downloads into ~/.localix/language-servers, and
  the status bar shows the install or why it could not finish.
• A project cannot pick a permissive mode for you: bypassPermissions or auto as the
  defaultMode of a project's or local settings file no longer applies.

Fixed

• Stop gives your queued messages back: messages sent while the assistant worked return to the
  message box when you press Stop. An empty Enter never sends, and a message sent mid-run waits in
  the queue without flashing into the conversation.
• The prompt cache hits again: new conversations with the same agent, model and project reuse
  the provider's cache, and OpenAI requests carry the headers that let it hit.
• Local models no longer pile up in memory: a local model server stops within about two seconds
  after Localix quits or crashes, and the desktop app and a development server share one.
• SessionEnd hooks run when you quit Localix, and Set up Localix opens at its first step.

Removed

• Group conversations: a conversation has one agent, fixed when you start it. Participants,
  @handle and @all, leaders, handoffs and /agents add, remove and members are gone; the
  agent starts a subagent to bring another agent in.
• The agent island: the quick chat at the notch on macOS, its Cmd+Shift+J shortcut and its
  Quick Chat menu-bar item are gone. Ask the agent from the workspace chat.
• Tools Claude Code does not have: the CodeMode script tool, the topic tool and the Memory
  tool. Earlier runs still show in your conversations; notes saved with the old Memory tool stay
  in ~/.localix/memories but no longer load.

Highlights

One Store for everything you add to Localix, and Claude Code's own files, settings and commands
working as they do in Claude Code: what you copy from Claude Code now runs here unchanged.

Added

• The Store: one tab, opened from the rail's +, for mini apps, Claude Code plugins, skills,
  agents and MCP servers. Discover opens on Start here, search covers packages and what is
  inside them, and Installed, Updates, Yours and Sources list every kind together.
  Get asks first, in a sheet showing what would run, before a community plugin or one that runs
  programs is installed. See Store.
• The assistant can use the Store: a store tool searches your sources, shows what a package
  installs and runs, and installs, updates, removes, enables or creates an agent or a skill. Each
  change waits for your approval on a card.
• Agents, skills and MCP servers as Claude Code files: agents live in ~/.claude/agents/,
  skills in ~/.claude/skills/, so one you write works in both. Each has a page in the Store with
  its settings, and an agent's Access tab switches its tools, skills, servers and mini apps.
  Agent files can carry their own hooks, mcpServers and permissionMode.
• Claude Code's everyday commands: /clear, /resume, /rename, /rewind, /plan,
  /context, /copy, /permissions, /config and /effort work in the composer and offer their
  arguments as crumbs. /plugin install name@marketplace --scope project, /plugin uninstall and
  /plugin market add work as pasted from Claude Code's docs.
• Fork a subagent: delegate with context: "fork" starts a copy of the delegating agent that
  has seen everything it has seen, so the provider's prompt cache reads the conversation instead of
  writing it again. It works in solo and group chats. See
  Delegation.
• Your Claude Code setup carries over: hooks, MCP servers (with headersHelper and the oauth
  block), the status line, env, permission rules, the starting mode, output styles and managed
  lock-downs from your Claude Code settings apply in Localix. Settings → Permissions shows the rules
  and the file each came from.
• Archive unused skills: Store → Yours previews which skills would be archived and why, and
  archives nothing until you confirm; a skill can be pinned to keep it.
• Session recap: coming back to a chat after a break, a one-line summary of where you left off
  waits in the transcript; /recap writes one on demand.

Changed

• Settings live on a package's page: an installed mini app or plugin with options has a
  Settings tab on its Store page; Settings no longer manages agents, skills, plugins or MCP
  servers.
• Quieter background indexing: semantic search indexes in the background at low priority,
  scrolling the Store no longer starts it, and its progress no longer passes 100%.
• Mini apps you build appear in the Store: an app made with /mini-app create shows on
  Yours and Installed.

Fixed

• The Store says when it cannot read something, with the reason and Try again, instead of an
  empty shelf or a page that never loads; Install waits until it can show what will run.
• Mods' band keeps its controls in place when a mod draws more than one row.
• Claude Code hooks, plugins and permission rules behave as in Claude Code: tool names and
  inputs arrive in Claude Code's shapes, long MCP calls are no longer cut off after 30 seconds, and
  a repository can no longer run code before you allow it.

Removed

• The bundled Code Review, Deliverables and Webhook Notifier plugins, and the import of MCP
  servers from pasted JSON in Settings.

Download

Platform	Download	Status
macOS, Apple silicon	Localix-macos-arm64.dmg	Tested

Open the DMG and drag Localix into Applications.

Highlights

Localix now tells you what is new: each update is announced in a dialog with its release notes,
setup opens as a dialog over a new chat, and every dialog arrives with the same motion.

Added

• Update dialog: a newly found version is announced once, with what is new in it, before you
  restart. Later keeps it offered above the message box, in the title bar and in Settings.
• Setup dialog: setup opens over a new chat at launch, with the workspace tips and their
  controls, until you close it once. Open it again from the command palette with Set up Localix.

Changed

• Faster update check: a new version is found a few seconds after launch instead of thirty.
• Launch always opens a chat: the one you were in, or a new one. An empty editor group shows the
  Localix bird instead of the workspace tips.
• Dialogs rise into place and settle, and confirmations open centred on a mark in the colour of
  what they do: red for what cannot be undone.

Download

Platform	Download	Status

Highlights

Added

• /workflows <goal> hands a goal to a team: the chat's leader breaks it into cards on the Kanban
  board, reuses or creates the specialists it needs and coordinates them to the result. Whether work
  waits for an approved plan is the chat's permission mode.
• Team roles: the elected leader is named in every agent's prompt and owns coordination; members
  work only on their own cards, and a member's finished card waits in a new Review column until
  the leader verifies it.
• @human, a built-in record that describes you to agents (Settings → Agents, globally or per
  project). Agents ask you with question cards instead of mentioning you, and can assign you a
  Kanban card, which notifies you.
• The macOS agent island is back: a quick request and agent questions at the notch, with one open
  size. It is off until you turn it on in onboarding or Settings, and stays quiet while a Localix
  window is focused.
• The model picker lists every agent you can invite, so models can be set before inviting. "All
  agents" sets every listed agent at once; each agent then resolves through this chat's choice, its
  own default, its last pick, then the project.
• Context limit per model in tokens (Auto, steps the window holds, Full) instead of a percentage.
• Onboarding opens with appearance and the island, and gains a tip for the goal command.
• Claude Code plugins are converted to the Localix format when installed; installs default to global
  scope, and LSP plugins report a missing language server with an install hint.
• /model is a step-by-step picker with breadcrumbs — agent, provider, model, then reasoning, turns
  and context window — and no longer prints a model list.
• The model list updates without a new release: Localix checks the catalog's public sources in the
  background and on demand from Settings → System → Model list. LOCALIX_MODEL_CATALOG_REFRESH=0
  turns the automatic check off.
• Models are listed newest first for every provider.
• PDFs open in the built-in viewer; "Open with…" switches to another matching editor such as Reader.

Changed

• An agent's question always waits up to five minutes for your answer, then the agent continues on a
  stated assumption; "Answer later" and queued questions are gone.
• Background jobs ignore timeout and outlive the turn that started them; a deliberate stop is
  reported as stopped, not as a failure.
• The Browser keeps previews fitted to the pane; an agent pins a width only for a check and the pane
  returns to fit afterwards.
• Webhook Notifier is off by default; its human_mentioned event is now human_assigned (2.0.0).
• The starter team no longer includes Team Lead, Project Manager or QA Engineer; agents you already
  have stay.
• A fresh install opens with every panel collapsed on an empty workspace.
• Reasoning levels come from the model catalog only: a model offers exactly the levels it supports,
  and Off appears only where the model can really turn reasoning off.
• /model <name> picks the level remembered for the new model, or its default, instead of keeping
  the previous model's level.

Fixed

• The drop hint no longer sticks in the composer after a drag that ended outside the window, such as
  a macOS screenshot thumbnail.
• The folded island no longer opens on hover or takes clicks while a Localix window is focused.
• A Kanban card no longer gets stuck in review when its owner completes it again, and an epic
  described next to its tasks is no longer silently dropped.
• An unknown Browser tab id answers with the open tabs instead of "host unavailable".
• Opening a file from Finder, "Open With" or localix <file> no longer creates or switches
  projects; it opens next to the chat on screen. A missing path fails at once.
• The chat no longer disappears when the Browser, a terminal or a file link opens after a pane was
  maximized in another conversation.
• Off on Claude 5.x and GPT-6 models no longer runs at the provider's default high effort.
• Anthropic models keep their earlier thinking across turns at every reasoning level.
• Agent tool calls recover from a no-op edit in a batch, a stray new_string key and a fork start
  action; validation errors name the unknown field and list allowed values.

Highlights

Added

• A per-agent context-window budget share (contextPercent, 20-100%, default 70), with a composer
  control to set it alongside effort and max turns.

Changed

• Moved Update & Restart from the left rail into the titlebar, beside Terminal, Browser and the
  Event Center, where it is easier to notice.

Fixed

• The flying bird now greets every empty chat, model connected or not; the workspace tips carousel
  is reserved for a truly empty editor group.
• The command-palette tip scene no longer clips the key-chord badge behind its stage edge.

Highlights

The first beta published after the repository history was reset. Earlier beta tags and their
installers were removed; this release replaces them.

Added

• Desktop application for macOS on Apple silicon, signed and notarized; it has been run by hand
  there and nowhere else.
• Intel Macs, Linux and Windows run Localix from source; they have no installer yet.
• Multi-agent conversations, connected context, Project Space, the agent-driven preview with Visual
  Feedback, plugins the agent can build, loops and monitors, and the bundled workbenches.
• Native browser pages on Linux, hosted in a GTK page layer.
• Building from source is documented in
  Run Localix from source.

Changed

• Providers connect only through credentials stored in the encrypted vault; API keys are never read
  from environment variables.
• Updated dependencies, the pi runtime (v1.2.0) and Monaco (0.57.0).

Removed

• The agent island and its quick chat window.
