Changelog

What's new in InnerZero.

v0.1.7June 2026Latest
New
  • Multi-language interface: use InnerZero in 26 languages. Pick yours in Settings and the whole app, its menus, and the assistant's replies follow, with right-to-left support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu. A one-time upgrade keeps your saved memories searchable across every language, and it all works offline.
  • Action Hub: an opt-in research and apply assistant on the Tasks page. With your own Apify key, Zero can gather sources from the web; with your saved job profile, it can help fill in and submit job applications. Every action is gated behind your approval, and the apply browser runs in a fresh, isolated session.
  • Proxy support: behind a corporate or university proxy? Enter your HTTP or HTTPS proxy in Settings and InnerZero routes model downloads, cloud calls, and connector traffic through it. Local AI traffic is never proxied.
Improved
  • Privacy egress guard: every outbound connection now passes through a single fail-closed guard, so Offline and Private modes hold even if a tool tries to reach out.
  • Smaller, faster Windows install: dev-only tooling is excluded from the shipped runtime and the heavier components now download on first run.
Fixed
  • macOS now opens cleanly. The v0.1.7 DMG is signed with Developer ID, notarised by Apple, and stapled, which fixes the "InnerZero is damaged and can't be opened" message some macOS users saw on v0.1.6. No right-click workaround is needed.
  • Project-scoped memory isolation: memories saved under one project no longer surface in another project's context.
  • Voice reliability: the text-to-speech button no longer hangs on a slow first load, and it now shows clear loading and stop states.
v0.1.6May 2026
New
  • Proactive Assistant: schedule briefings, daily summaries, and reminders that arrive when you want them. Natural-language scheduling like "remind me at 5pm tomorrow", quiet hours, multi-channel notifications, and an optional Telegram bridge if you want briefings on your phone.
  • Smart briefings: a higher-quality briefing mode that pulls from your memory, mail, and knowledge packs as needed instead of relying on a single prompt-and-response.
  • Automation Specialist: route automation tasks to a small local model, your main assistant, or a dedicated cloud model based on what you want to optimise for (speed, quality, or privacy).
  • Slash commands in chat: type /help to see what is available, /clear to reset the visible conversation, and more for quick actions without typing prompts.
  • First-run hardware detection: InnerZero now tests your GPU on first run and picks the right model tier automatically. You can also override it manually in the setup wizard.
  • Bundled Ollama upgraded to v0.22.1 with full GPU acceleration: modern NVIDIA via CUDA 13, Apple Silicon via Metal, AMD and cross-vendor via Vulkan, and Intel via OneAPI.
  • AMD GPU users can now opt in to GPU acceleration in Settings. AMD support is conservative-by-default for this release while we collect real-world feedback.
  • Single-instance lock: launching InnerZero a second time now focuses the existing window instead of opening a duplicate.
Improved
  • Chat reliability for LM Studio backends: better handling of replies that drift from the expected response shape, and replies that contain emoji or non-ASCII characters now render correctly on Windows.
  • Linux installer streamlined for modern NVIDIA (Turing onward) via CUDA 13, plus Vulkan for AMD and cross-vendor.
  • Mac code-signing hygiene: cleaner Gatekeeper experience on first launch.
Fixed
  • Bundled Ollama on Mac and Linux now resolves correctly. Users on previous versions whose bundled Ollama silently failed to start should see chat working out of the box on v0.1.6.
  • LM Studio chat replies containing emoji or smart quotes no longer crash on Windows.
  • LM Studio: when a model returns a response shape that does not match what InnerZero expects, the actual answer text is recovered where possible instead of showing a raw fallback.
  • Several internal coverage gaps in the installer bundle that affected slash commands and other modules in installed builds.
Known limitations
  • The macOS DMG ships unstapled in v0.1.6. The app is signed with Developer ID, runs under hardened runtime, and applies the necessary entitlements. On first launch with internet, Gatekeeper does a one-time online check with Apple and the app opens normally. If you are offline on first launch, right-click the app, select Open, then click Open again. Stapling returns in a future release.
  • macOS minimum is now Sonoma 14. Bundled Ollama 0.22.1 no longer supports Monterey or Ventura.
  • Pre-Turing NVIDIA Linux users on the bundled mode (GTX 9 series Maxwell, GTX 10 series Pascal, V100 Volta) should use Vulkan or install Ollama separately for full CUDA support.
  • Installer sizes have grown vs v0.1.5 because of the Ollama 0.22.1 bundling. See the download page for current sizes per platform.
v0.1.5April 2026
New
  • Calendar page with Month, Week, Day, and Agenda views. Click an empty slot to create an event. Drag events to reschedule.
  • Two-way Google Calendar sync. Connect your Google account in Settings; events from Google appear locally and events you create at home publish back. Private events stay on your machine.
  • Gmail integration (read-only). Sender, subject, and a short snippet of recent inbox emails so Zero can answer questions about your mail. Message bodies are never fetched or stored.
  • Tasks page with a live queue. Kanban lanes, progress bars, ETAs, and resource coordination so you can see what Zero is doing in the background.
  • Dashboard 7-day calendar widget with a next-up section.
  • AI agency over your calendar. Zero can create, find, update, and delete events directly from chat with approval gates on writes.
  • Source provenance on memories. Every memory now records where it came from (chat, voice, document, Gmail, calendar) and surfaces that source to the AI.
  • Mac code signing with Developer ID and hardened runtime. The macOS installer is now signed by Summers Solutions Ltd.
  • Windows installer hardened with Azure Trusted Signing and a deferred-swap auto-updater that resolves the WebView2 file-lock during in-app upgrades.
Improved
  • Anthropic prompt caching is now active on Director calls, reducing cost on repeated cache-hit prompts within the 5-minute window.
  • Calendar-aware memory. Time-sensitive questions surface upcoming 7-day events directly into Zero's context.
  • Knowledge pack search quality. Two-phase title boosting, prose extraction, and question-prefix stripping produce cleaner answers.
  • Faster voice shortcuts. Time, weather, calculator, dictionary, system info, and timer queries now respond in under two seconds.
  • Privacy hardening for cloud features. Every cloud dispatch path (initial messages, retries, and multi-round agent loops) now routes through one privacy-blacklist chokepoint.
Fixed
  • Windows in-app updater no longer fails on the WebView2 DLL file-lock. The new deferred-swap pattern applies the upgrade at next cold start.
  • Archive page now shows archived memories correctly.
  • Settings hover styling and tab consistency across all 9 tabs.
  • Mac and Linux launches are now reliable: pywebview backend bindings ship with the correct platform markers.
  • Memory system: sleep pipeline routes correctly on the LM Studio backend, preference-type memories reach the Director prompt, and project-scoped retrieval backfills bidirectionally.
v0.1.4April 2026
New
