· Release: the next published release after v0.12.0
Three clearly separate ways to move things around, and a public help area that opens without setting up a model.
Share Private Local Chat: recommend the app with your device's share sheet, a copied link or a QR code. It always shares the public address https://privatelocal.chat/ and nothing from your chats or settings.
Transfer settings: review the endpoint, model and theme, then create a versioned link, QR code or settings file. An API token is included only if you choose, and it is encrypted with a password you pick. Tell the recipient the password separately.
Transfer chats and backups: exporting conversations and creating an encrypted backup are now named, reviewed steps, with the contents listed before the file is made. Provider settings travel separately through Transfer settings.
New Help, About, Privacy and Updates pages with a FAQ, troubleshooting steps and dated known issues. They are saved with the app, so they open offline once the app is saved on the device.
The PrivateLocal.Chat brand arrived, a downloaded model loads by itself when the app opens, and read-aloud and dictation use your browser's speech services.
Rendered answers with message controls, search, projects, documents, personal instructions and memory, plus readiness, storage, encrypted backups and an app lock.
Attach text, Markdown, CSV, code and text-based PDF files; they are read on your device.
Downloaded, loaded and ready-for-offline are shown as separate facts.
Back up chats, create an encrypted backup protected by a passphrase, or lock the app with a passphrase screen.
