Release notes

Local Hoist v0.0.37

May 31, 2026

Adds keyboard shortcuts for the cost, menu, and terminal panels, streamlines the cost panel and new-conversation flow, keeps skills and hooks in sync with your working directory, unifies media viewing, and hardens media handling during streaming.

New

Added keyboard shortcuts to quickly toggle the cost, side menu, and terminal panels so you can clear screen space or pull up details without reaching for the mouse.

Improved

Streamlined the docked cost panel into a lighter, easier-to-scan view of your spending.
Smoothed out the new-conversation flow so starting and switching between chats feels faster and more predictable.
Skills and hooks now refresh automatically when you change your working directory, so the available catalog always matches the project you're in.
Unified image and video viewing into a single view_media tool that handles generated and local media in one place.
Gave the macOS installer a cleaner, styled window.

Reliability

Fixed a race condition when fetching staged media URLs during streaming, so attached images and videos are far less likely to fail mid-response.
