Released September 7, 2026
This maintenance release handles provider limits deliberately, restores ChatGPT login-page detection, and clears high-risk development dependency alerts.
Brainstorm pauses on limits, bridge timeouts, and structured provider errors. Skip uses a safe placeholder and never relays raw error text.
Older snapshots cannot silently adopt the new recovery semantics, and reserved turns clean up safely after retry or cancellation.
The redesigned login form is recognized without widening the provider's URL or permission boundary.
Four High Dependabot alerts were resolved; full and production audits reported no known vulnerabilities at release time.
Choose the conversation shape
Compare quickly, challenge an argument, build software plans, or spend a full session turning many perspectives into a decision.
Selected providers answer in parallel for fast comparison and image prompts.
Pro, con, judge, and synthesis roles stress-test a decision or argument.
Two independent answers feed a review and a final recommendation.
Specification, reviews, implementation passes, tests, acceptance, and final output.
Four seats carry same-session history through five adversarial rounds.
Rotating lenses move from framing and divergence to a decision-ready portfolio.
Brainstorm is intentionally substantial: keep all four sessions signed in and allow about 45–90 minutes. Preflight identifies an unavailable role instead of silently replacing it.
Local-first by design
The app coordinates real provider pages while keeping its own state on your computer. It adds workflow, not another conversation cloud.
Each provider runs in a separate local WebView profile. The app never asks for your password.
Select parallel targets or assign structured roles; unavailable providers are surfaced before a serial run.
Read chronological results, inspect the live provider when needed, then continue or start a clean conversation.
Two editions, one idea
Both editions use your signed-in web sessions without API keys. The difference is how much workflow and local tooling you want around them.
| Feature | Desktop | Browser extension |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Dedicated workflows and local continuity | Lightweight work inside Chrome |
| Workspace | Tauri app with isolated provider profiles | Side Panel plus your existing tabs |
| Local tools | Sessions, snapshots/replay, diagnostics, text files | Browser-native, compact controls |
| Shared foundation | Four real web sessions · zero API keys | Real provider tabs · zero API keys |
A narrow trust boundary
Your prompts go to the providers you select. The app does not add an account server or analytics layer between you and them.
Cookies and provider profiles remain in local app data, isolated per provider.
Only the bundled local control pane can call app commands.
Adapter updates are schema-validated JSON and cannot expand bundled URL scopes.
Snapshots are opt-in, local, and use one of four frozen privacy tiers.
Diagnostics exclude page text, input values, cookies, storage, queries, and fragments.
Exports, debug bundles, and share actions require an explicit user action.
Honest boundaries
Evidence is reported as evidence—not as a promise that every provider, account, or platform path works today.
A DOM or login-flow change can temporarily break automatic input, send, or completion detection until an adapter update ships.
Subscriptions, quotas, regional rules, and challenges still apply. Claude requires login; Gemini and Grok blocks need user action.
Windows launch is verified, macOS Apple Silicon is partially verified, and Linux packaging is currently CI-only.
A full live 48-contribution recovery run and all live login/challenge paths were not manually reverified for this release.
No fifth provider, marketplace, graph editor, embedded terminal agent, telemetry, self-updater, or new snapshot schema is planned.
The compatibility matrix separates real-device, focused, automated, and CI-only checks.
