Follow new updates and improvements to Vinaa.

Vinaa 0.1.8

What's new in 0.1.8

  • All your projects in one sidebar — the sidebar now shows every project at once, with their folders and chats.

    • Focus on one project — choose a project at the top of the sidebar (⇧⌘P) to show only its folders and chats in that window. Other windows keep their own choice.

    • Go to Project or Folder — press ⌥⌘O and type to jump to any project or folder.

    • Show in — right-click a chat and choose Show in to jump to its project or folder.

    • Reorder projects — drag projects into the order you like, or use Move Up / Move Down (⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓).

  • Archive projects — archive a project to hide it and its chats; unarchive it any time.

  • Find in Chat — press ⌘F to search the whole conversation, step through matches with ⌘G / ⇧⌘G, and turn on Show Results to see every match in the sidebar.

  • Text Size — make text bigger or smaller everywhere with ⌘+ and ⌘−, and reset it with ⌘0 (View menu).

  • Buy licenses for more Macs — Settings → License → Add More Macs opens your license on vinaa.ai, where you can see the Macs using it and buy more.

  • Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Vinaa 0.1.7: OpenRouter, OpenAI-Compatible API and more providers

What's new in 0.1.7

New

  • OpenRouter — connect your OpenRouter account to use hundreds of models, with web search. Use Edit Models to choose which of them show up in your model list.

  • More providers — native support for Groq, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Cerebras and DeepInfra.

  • Custom connections — add any OpenAI-compatible API by its URL and key.

  • Ollama Cloud — Ollama and LM Studio connections now accept an optional API key, so you can use Ollama Cloud and secured local servers.

Improved

  • Calmer streaming — replies no longer scroll away while you read; turn following back on in Settings → Appearance. Thinking blocks remember whether you keep them expanded or collapsed.

Fixed

  • Fixes — failed replies retry at most twice, Quick Look shows attachment names, Open Tools Panel is disabled when there are no tools, plus layout fixes for macOS 27.

Vinaa 0.1.6: A rebuilt, more powerful agent

  • A rebuilt, more powerful agent. We rebuilt the engine behind every chat from the ground up. It handles longer, multi-step tasks, recovers on its own when something goes wrong, and works more reliably with every provider.

  • Clearer errors. When something goes wrong, you'll see what happened right where it happened, and you'll always know when Vinaa is still working on a reply.

  • Report a Problem. Send a private report from an error card or the Help menu. You preview exactly what's sent, and it never includes your conversations.

  • Max Tool Steps. Choose how many tool steps the agent may take in a turn (Settings → Defaults).

  • Smarter tool use in Auto mode. The agent searches your connected tools and turns on the ones it needs.

  • Faster, cheaper long chats. Prompt caching cuts the cost of long chats, and Claude clears old tool results in long runs so it stays within its context window.

  • Reasoning and effort. Thinking and effort settings now follow each model's real capabilities. Reasoning from local models (LM Studio, Ollama) now shows as thinking.

  • Code execution. With Claude, code execution keeps its workspace across steps and turns, and files it generates are saved as attachments.

  • Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.
