1.10

🆕 Think button: A new "Think" button will automatically switch to a (reasoning) variant of your current model if applicable.

🆕 Lazy-loaded thread list: Support for the new Kagi Assistant paginated thread list and search API. Faster load times with infinite scrolling (better than the web app 🙃).

🆕 Background generation: Assistant keeps working and pings you when your reply is ready when you've switched apps.

🆕 Interrupt on demand: The send button becomes a stop button during generation to pre-maturely interrupt the model.

🆕 Retention setting adherence: Automatically syncs your cloud thread retention preference (24h or forever) and follows it for new threads.

🔧 Tons of perfectionist tweaks to UI/UX, as always.

1.6

🆕 Temporary Chats: Click the hourglass icon to enable temporary chat mode. Your chat will automatically delete after 15 minutes of inactivity or when you start a new chat (whichever comes first). This works even when the app is backgrounded, as long as you're connected to the Internet.

The 15-minute inactivity timer isn't precise. It depends on how your operating system handles background tasks. It works best when your device is unlocked, but will still work when locked (just less reliably).

🔧 Automatically enable Internet access on models where applicable.
🔧 More streamed-text rendering fixes to prevent glitchiness.
