Release notes

Local Hoist v0.0.4

March 13, 2026

v0.0.4 gives Local Hoist clearer usage visibility and smoother conversation management. This release expands the cost and usage experience, improves browsing for archived and sub-agent conversations, and makes several everyday workflows more dependable.

New

Added usage sync health indicators in account and dashboard views so it is easier to tell when local usage data is synced, repairing, or needs attention.
Added dedicated Main, Archived, and Sub-Agents conversation views, with scoped search plus restore and permanent delete actions for archived chats.

Improved

Expanded the cost panel and usage dashboard with richer breakdowns for token types, event types, failed requests, and clearer LH Credits versus BYOK reporting.
Improved preference handling so model and working-directory changes stay in sync more reliably with the current conversation.

Reliability

Fixed automatic title generation so it no longer blocks the app, and updated markdown exports to exclude deleted messages.
Fixed stop/cancel handling so interrupted streams resolve more cleanly.
Strengthened usage reporting and syncing with more resilient delivery, integrity checks, and automatic repair paths when local usage data falls out of sync.
Improved shell tool reliability for multi-line pipe-mode commands and broadened linting support for non-Python files.
