Pre-release channel

Latest stable: v1.0.6.

New in this drop

• Glass edges bend the wallpaper in a narrow ring right at the edge, meet the wallpaper outside without a seam, and carry a faint line of light along the top instead of a milky band; the Looks were re-tuned to match.
• Look › Custom's Depth slider is the last of the shared sliders, and each Look sits exactly on it; the rest of the edge comes with the Look.
• Pressing a pinned app on a glass dock, or a glass card in a sheet, lights the glass under your finger for a moment.
• Settings › Keyboard › Layouts lets you edit, reset and create keyboard layouts; a layout's row slides its buttons open beneath it, and a new layout shows at once on its first swap.
• Terminal programs that ask for touch events receive your taps, long presses and swipes.
• The Appearance editor's Cursor trail menu has an Off entry, so you can turn the trail off without going to Settings.
• The Mouse mode key reads out the state it switched to: Mouse mode on, Mouse mode off.
• Editing a cleaned-up dictation keeps the words the cleanup fixed or added highlighted while you type.
• Starting a dictation no longer freezes the screen for a few seconds: when the cleanup model is not loaded yet, it loads after you stop speaking.
• Round icons in icon packs stay whole circles now that pack icons draw bigger.
• The window bar names terminal-browser in full, with a globe.
• The command palette's key strip under the search field has solid keys, and its last row stays readable above the rounded bottom.
• Fixes that also shipped in v1.0.6: the Low-memory preset switch, smoother transcript scrolling, symbol icons in larger program text, kitty playback without flicker, icon packs that stay applied, the sessions drawer at large font sizes, and a wallpaper change that keeps your Look's blur.

Experimental

These may change or be dropped before they reach a stable release.

• Settings › About & help has an Ask on Discord row, Documentation opens the website guide, and the help panel's support link goes to Discord (#58).
• Settings › Backup & restore saves your launcher settings and config files to one file, and your downloaded AI models to a folder, and restores both on this phone or a new one (#40).
• Glass edges draw as a hairline of light over a narrow bend that meets the wallpaper without a seam, and Look › Custom has a Depth slider after the shared sliders, shown where glass edges are drawn, that tunes how thick the glass edge looks. Corners is now called Corner radius (#63, #75).
• Pressing a pinned app on a glass dock, or a glass card in a sheet, lights the glass under your finger for a moment (#75).
• Scripts and agents in a pane can place, size, inspect, wait on and close panes and windows through launcherctl: pane open --from --direction --size, pane resize, pane wait, window list|focus|close, and launcherctl <group> --help (#66).
• Pictures travel through the terminal clipboard: programs that speak kitty's clipboard protocol (OSC 5522) can read a picture from Android's clipboard and copy one to it, pasting a picture into a shell or an agent pastes it as a file path under $PREFIX/tmp/clipboard, and pictures inserted from the keyboard land the same way (#61).
• A screenshot you just took can be pasted from the keyboard's paste key, which shows a photo while it or a copied picture is waiting; plain paste (paste with a modifier) keeps the clipboard. Screenshots need the storage permission (Settings › Permissions & services › Files and media, or termux-setup-storage).
• Terminal programs that ask for touch events receive your taps, long presses and swipes.
• Settings › Keyboard › Layouts lets you edit, reset and create keyboard layouts, each row sliding its buttons open beneath it.
• Pinned app icons go bigger: the Icon size slider reaches further on both dock styles, and icon packs draw as big as stock icons.
• Pinned apps fill the dock when it holds nothing else: the icons grow into the bar, and the bar sheds some of the space above and below them, at every Icon size.
• The Appearance editor's Cursor trail menu has an Off entry, and the Mouse mode key reads out the state it switched to.
• The window bar names terminal-browser in full, with a globe.
• Dictation cleanup now writes what you meant from the whole passage, fixing misheard words and broken sentences rather than only dropping fillers; Polished keeps its paragraphs and lists.
• Dictation cleanup is about twice as fast and leaves what you said alone where nothing needs fixing: "uh" and "um" are always removed, only sentences that need it are rewritten, it no longer turns other languages into English, and it keeps your spelling.
• Cleaned-up dictation is ready a moment after you stop: on phones that run cleanup on the graphics chip (or with a remote model), it tidies your words at natural pauses while you talk.
• With a multilingual Whisper model, Voice language Auto-detect listens for the language you speak instead of assuming your keyboard's, and the dictation card names it when it differs.
• Tap the text on the dictation card to fix a word with the keyboard before you insert or copy it, and the words the cleanup fixed stay highlighted while you edit.
• On-device models load with less free memory than before, and one that would fill the phone's memory is stopped instead of freezing it.
