Changelog

Mia, rebuilt A new AI engine. Mia runs on an entirely new assistant engine with a redesigned conversation loop, streaming, and tool system. Replies start faster, reasoning is kept separate from the answer, and long conversations stay coherent instead of drifting. Agent mode. Ask Mia to do something rather than describe it. She can open and organize tabs, read and search the current page, fill forms, capture screenshots, search the web, work with your files, and run multi-step tasks to completion. You approve every action. A permission center shows exactly what Mia is about to do before she does it, with per-tool approvals you can review or revoke at any time. Run Mia entirely on your Mac. On-device models run locally through Apple silicon, so page content and conversations never leave your machine. Cloud models remain available when you want them. Bring your own models. Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, and Ollama, and switch between them mid-conversation. Memory and personalization. Mia can remember details you choose to save, and adapts her tone to a personality you pick. Full-bleed conversations. The chat sidebar was redrawn for narrow widths. Bubbles and avatars are gone, so text starts at the edge and reading room is no longer spent on decoration. Chat history. Past conversations are titled automatically, grouped by date, and searchable. Attachments. Drop in images, documents, and page contents, and reference open tabs directly in the composer. A smoother sidebar Move anything anywhere. Drag tabs freely between positions, into and out of splits, and across spaces. Steadier and quicker. Reordering, splitting, and closing tabs feel smoother, with no flicker or jumps in long lists. Performance and reliability Lower memory use with large numbers of open tabs, and faster recovery when a page stops responding. More reliable Picture in Picture across multiple displays. Faster, more accurate favicons and page titles. Requires macOS 26 or later. Apple silicon.

We are thrilled to announce a significant leap forward in your browsing experience, bringing you a suite of powerful new features designed to streamline your workflow and unlock the full potential of the web. First, we are proud to introduce Agenctic Browsing, a revolutionary capability that transforms how you interact with online content. This feature goes beyond simple navigation, offering an intelligent, proactive browsing experience that understands your intent and delivers results with unprecedented precision. Next, we have expanded the browser's capabilities to support seamless coding and live preview directly within the interface. Whether you are building a prototype or debugging a script, you can now write, test, and visualize your code in one fluid environment, eliminating the need to switch between tabs and tools. Performance has never been better. We have implemented major optimizations to our Local AI engine, resulting in dramatically improved speed and stability. This ensures that intelligent assistance is available to you instantly, regardless of your connection or hardware configuration. Additionally, we have added the flexibility to bring your own API Key, giving you full control over how the browser interacts with external services and models. This opens up a world of customization for developers and power users alike. Under the hood, we have focused heavily on reliability. We have addressed numerous bugs and enhanced overall system stability to ensure a smoother, more consistent experience across all devices. Finally, we have taken a comprehensive look at the user interface.
