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.
