Local Hoist v0.0.16
March 22, 2026
v0.0.16 delivers a smoother desktop sign-in experience and more dependable stop/start behavior during active runs. Signing in now starts from an email-first flow in the app, device verification stays inside Local Hoist when needed, and active runs recover more cleanly when you stop and continue.
New
- Added an email-first desktop sign-in and sign-up flow, so you choose the account in Local Hoist before the browser step opens.
- Added an in-app 6-digit device verification step, letting you finish authorizing desktop sign-ins directly in Local Hoist when extra confirmation is needed.
Improved
- Improved desktop authentication with trusted-device recognition and clearer account verification prompts, helping sign-in approvals stay tied to the device and email you intended to use.
- Improved sign-in restart handling so you can switch emails or start over from the account panel more smoothly.
Reliability
- Improved stop/start behavior for active responses and tool runs so cancellations resolve more cleanly and new sends can begin sooner.
