Changelog

Release history and updates for YoBench

v1.8.0

  • New Built-in file editor and viewer — open PDF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), CSV, images, text/code and Markdown in side-panel tabs: next to the AI chat or on any page. Edit and save, watch for on-disk file changes, split into panes, pin tabs. PDF renders in the background so the UI never freezes on heavy pages
  • New Local terminals — the "+" button now opens a terminal on your own computer alongside SSH. Cross-platform: zsh/bash on macOS/Linux, PowerShell/cmd/Git Bash/WSL on Windows. The default shell is configurable
  • New Browser: Arc-style split screen — double, triple and quad containers as full draggable chips in the tab bar, with an actions menu and adjustable pane borders
  • New Browser: page media panel — finds images, video and audio on the page; open or download each item. Streaming video (HLS/DASH) is downloaded and remuxed to mp4 with bundled ffmpeg
  • New Browser: address-bar autocomplete — shows up to 8 suggestions from your history as you type, with full keyboard navigation; pressing Enter without a selection falls back to a Google search
  • New Permanent right rail — the Editor, Terminal and DB docks moved from a floating overlay to a permanent rail at the right edge: it reserves layout space and is always at hand
  • New System Monitor: network diagnostics — a new tab that checks interfaces, DNS (system + Cloudflare/Google/Yandex), the route (traceroute), link bandwidth and per-site response times, with an overall verdict. Reports are saved
  • New Servers: alert when a server stops responding — alerts used to fire only on metrics from a successful probe; now a fully unreachable server also notifies you (after several failed probes in a row; the threshold is configurable)
  • New Servers: saved alert rules — a library of reusable rule templates: apply a rule to a server in one click or save an existing rule to the library
  • New Database backup: back up your files alongside the database — RAG contexts, Tracker/Board/Docs attachments and images, posting media and custom-field files are bundled into an encrypted archive next to the DB snapshot and restored together with it, even onto a different computer. Retention is configured per destination; manual backup works even when auto-backup is off
  • New YoBench account — sign in, register, password reset and a profile page. The app works fully without signing in — it is optional
  • New YoBench subscription — manage your subscription from the profile: plans, status and expiry, plus a notification center. With an active subscription a managed "YoBench Subscription" AI provider appears automatically — no API key to enter
  • New Scenarios: build automations with AI — the assistant creates and edits block scenarios (10 tools) with built-in block docs, validation before saving and hints. Inline expressions {{= ...}} are supported in block parameters
  • Improved Email: unified "All accounts" inbox — messages from every account in one list; a lightweight list load with the body fetched on open and stable pagination
  • Improved Email: fast search without freezes — search now uses a full-text index (FTS5) and runs on a background thread: it no longer freezes the UI, searches the message body too, instantly and by substring
  • Improved Email: smarter AI summaries — the summary is saved on the message (shown instantly on open and after a restart), the summarization prompt is editable in settings, the summary replies in the app language, and a guard against instruction-injection from the email body was added
  • Improved Email: select multiple messages — drag across the checkboxes and Shift+click to pick a range (Gmail-style)
  • Improved Browser: the reload button turns into a stop button while a page is loading — clicking it cancels the load (just like Chrome)
  • Improved Scheduler: reliability and correctness — pause now actually stops scheduled runs, correct time handling across daylight-saving changes, clear localized error notifications, a blocking dialog when deleting a context that is in use, and cached tokens counted in cost
  • Fixed Terminal: paste with Cmd/Ctrl+V no longer duplicates the text
  • Fixed Browser: leaving a split-screen page no longer leaves "ghost" panes hovering over the interface
  • Fixed Browser: on a load error the address bar keeps the URL you entered instead of the internal chrome-error:// page
  • Fixed Cost tracking and cache: correct "today" token counts in negative time zones, clearer validation errors, and cleanup of empty cache folders

v1.7.1

  • New Configurable network packet size (MTU) — adjust it to match your router. The default is now 1420 (down from 9000), which works on most home routers out of the box
  • Improved Apply settings on the fly — change MTU while the connection is active and an "Apply now" banner appears: one click reconnects with the new value
  • Improved Windows: reconnection is faster — stop timeout reduced and applying a setting no longer freezes the UI when the background service is unresponsive

v1.7.0

  • New System AI Assistant — a single assistant that now knows all 24 modules of the app and can act inside them for you. Ask it to create a task, find an email or check your schedule — it goes to the right module itself
  • New Smart search across Context, Tasks and Docs — combines meaning-based and keyword search, understands headings and links between items. Everything runs locally on your machine
  • New New Context editor with wiki-links — type `[[` to get live suggestions for linking other items. Side panel shows backlinks and related notes, plus a viewer for attached files
  • New Three new dashboard cards — backup schedules for external databases, RSS feeds with per-collection toggles, and the app's own database backups. Everything updates live without a refresh
  • Improved Re-authorize Gmail and Google Drive — when tokens expire, a "Re-authorize" button appears right on the account card or backup destination. No more deleting and re-adding
  • Improved Right-click menu in the built-in browser — a proper page menu now appears on right-click: back/forward/reload, view source, inspect, plus context actions for links, images, selected text and form fields
  • Improved Upload progress in Context survives leaving the page — start a large upload, leave, come back, and the progress is still there. Survives even an app restart
  • Improved Independent chat selector in the AI logs window — pick which chat's logs to view without switching your active chat. Read logs from one conversation while working in another
  • Improved Better file support in Context — CSV files exported from Excel no longer show up as garbled "РоÑ" characters; legacy .doc files preview correctly
  • Improved Auto-update moved to a dedicated CDN — downloads of new versions are faster and more reliable
  • Fixed Rich text editor no longer stutters while typing — word count and stats now run with a small delay instead of on every keystroke

v1.6.0

  • New Cloud database backups to Google Drive — your backup goes straight to your Google Drive. Supports databases up to 10 GB, resumes automatically if the connection drops, and the restore flow shows a progress overlay so you always know how far you have got
  • New "Updates" tab in Settings — see the next version's download progress and install it with one click
  • Improved Dark mode for email content — no more eye-burning white sheets, and the bulk-action buttons stay visible in the dark theme
  • Improved Browser tabs — drag-and-drop to reorder; closing a tab focuses the left neighbour instead of jumping somewhere random; when there are many tabs, the overflow lands in a tidy menu
  • Improved Browser tab groups — rename a group right from its popover, search inside the group's tab list, and the popover no longer spills off the screen
  • Improved Friendlier email errors — sync errors now read like "connection timed out" or "wrong password" instead of "Command failed"
  • Improved macOS: auto-update now downloads only the difference instead of the full DMG every time — saves time and bandwidth
  • Fixed File Manager: a leak that could crash long sessions or corrupt the database on shutdown is fixed; six more production bugs squashed and locked in with new tests
  • Fixed Browser: empty tab groups are fully functional again — add tabs, rename, drag-and-drop
  • Fixed macOS Apple Silicon: the app opens reliably on a fresh install — no more "app is damaged" error

  • Improved Calendar: events and reminders work correctly across time zones and daylight-saving transitions. Notification format can be chosen in settings
  • Improved Scheduler: all periodic jobs (AI tasks, database backups, recurring SQL scripts) are now in a single list. A new Schedule tab in Settings shows what is going to run in the next 24 hours
  • Improved Builds: AppImage for Linux on ARM CPUs and test dev builds for every platform
  • Improved UI is now smoother and more consistent: startup issues fixed, shared UI elements unified
  • Fixed Browser: settings open correctly from the menu and assistant panel; context menus and dialogs render properly over web pages; assistant chat preserves history more reliably
