Local Hoist v0.5.3

October 26, 2026

Customize your composer controls, review multi-file diffs, and enjoy smoother spoken replies.

New

  • Choose which tools and preference shortcuts appear beneath the composer, with searchable customization and saved selections.
  • Review multiple files in one commit diff view, with adjustable context lines and per-file change counts.
  • Added desktop support for iPhone audio input and spoken AI replies, using the same transcription and voice model pipeline as the desktop app.

Improved

  • Spoken replies now queue and prepare upcoming audio, with controls to move between messages.
  • Media downloads preserve original filenames and use the correct file extensions. Download confirmations include shortcuts to open the file or Downloads folder.
  • Cleaner message layouts, hook headers, and media previews make conversations easier to scan.

Fixed

  • Fixed duplicate chat turns caused by late streaming events.
  • Playback preference changes now take effect immediately, and rapid preference toggles no longer revert to stale values.
  • Subagents configured to inherit your model now pick up model changes when continued, and display the model actually used.
