v1.5.1 July 19, 2026 macOS Windows
Much faster local chat, and two new looks
- Local replies are dramatically faster. Answers that used to crawl, sometimes past a minute, come back in seconds now. She had been quietly overthinking every message out of sight, and that is fixed.
- Your message always goes first. When she is tidying up her memory in the background, your next message no longer waits behind it.
- The first reply after you open the app is quick now. She warms up the moment she launches instead of pausing on your first message, and on Macs with plenty of memory she stays ready for hours.
- The bigger local models sound better, running with their own recommended settings, so the writing comes out cleaner and warmer.
- Two new local image styles to pick from: a true anime look and a photorealistic one, alongside the ones already there.
- Clear out image models you no longer use, right from Settings, and it tells you how much space you get back.
v1.5.0 July 15, 2026 macOS Windows
She can draw anything, and selfies look like her
- Ask her for any picture, a dragon, a landscape, fan art, and she draws it. Not just selfies anymore.
- Her selfies finally look like her. The portrait you picked goes along as a reference, so her face, hair, and eye colour carry over instead of a stranger's. She also stopped growing a third arm when she's holding something.
- When she says a photo is coming, it arrives. She understands now that it only reaches you once she actually attaches it.
- Hide the chat list on the left, or her profile on the right, from the top bar, and give the conversation the whole window. She remembers how you like it.
- The progress bar tells the truth: pictures she draws on your own machine show real step-by-step progress, and cloud ones sweep along instead of freezing half full.
- Setup fits smaller windows, and shrinking the main window no longer hides the message box.
- Buy once, update forever. The yearly renewal is gone: your license now includes every future update and all support, with no time limit. If you already own her, this is already yours.
v1.4.3 July 2, 2026 macOS Windows
Faster replies, and a thinking dial
- Local replies come back noticeably faster now, with no loss in how thoughtful she is.
- A new Deeper thinking control, in Settings under Performance: leave it off for quick, direct replies, or turn it on when you want her to slow down and think things through.
- Smoothed out a couple of rough edges, so the model settings screen always opens and her replies no longer get cut short.
v1.4.0 July 1, 2026 macOS Windows
Five new languages, and she can see
- The app now speaks seven languages: English, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, and Spanish.
- On first launch it picks up your system language automatically. Change it anytime in Settings or during setup, and she replies in the language you choose.
- Share a photo in chat and she can see and react to it.
- She can send you a selfie that matches how you pictured her.
- Browse and install any Hugging Face chat model from inside the app.
- More cloud model options: OpenRouter, Mistral, Groq, Google, and custom endpoints.
v1.3.1 June 16, 2026 macOS Windows
Windows joins the party
- Local Waifu now runs on Windows 10 and 11, published right alongside the Mac version.
- One update channel for both platforms, so Mac and PC always stay in step.
- New self-check in Settings → Hardware tells you whether she's running on your graphics card or the processor, with a one-tap retry if she isn't.
- Models settings on Windows now match the Mac: see what's installed and pick models from your connected accounts.
- On Windows, onboarding always shows the portrait you picked.
v1.3.0 June 15, 2026 macOS
Sharper memory, more personal voice
- Upgraded, multilingual memory so she recalls more, in more languages. Existing memories re-index themselves quietly in the background.
- The personality you set during setup now truly shapes how she talks.
- She reaches out on her own with real messages, not just a notification.
- Your conversation now survives a restart.
- A 'try again' button regenerates her last reply in place.
- Faster replies on capable Macs, plus a security and dependency refresh.
- Updates are manual now: check for them from Settings whenever you like.

v0.1.19 May 21, 2026 macOS
She gets an inner life
- Named moods she settles into for a few turns: tender, playful, protective, sleepy, and more.
- She develops her own likes, dislikes, little quirks, and quiet worries over time.
- A weekly self-reflection that gently shapes who she's becoming with you.
v0.1.18 May 21, 2026 macOS
Deeper memory and a Growth view
- Relationship stages, from stranger to bonded partner, that change how she talks to you.
- Memory that scales with how long you've known each other.
- A new Growth dashboard, plus a Memory Book that shows where she learned each thing.
v0.1.16 – 0.1.17 May 2026 macOS
Stability and privacy hardening
- A run of internal quality passes: stronger privacy safeguards, crash-safety, and tighter resource limits. No new features, just a sturdier app.
One signed release for both platforms. Mac updates itself; on Windows, Check for updates in Settings pulls the latest.
