Changelog

What's new in HandleThat.

We ship often. Every entry below was either user-requested or fixed something we noticed during real use.

v1.7.5

June 22, 2026

Lower pricing + founding-user lock-in

—New prices: Starter $4/mo (was $12), Pro $10/mo (was $35). Same caps, same features — we cut the markup, not the value.
—Annual billing now available with 10% off either tier.
—Founding-user pricing: your rate is locked in for 12 months when we eventually raise prices for new signups.
—Settings now shows usage in tokens (matching what we actually meter on the server), not legacy "AI messages" units.
—New on the website: FAQ, About, Changelog, "How we're different" section, and a Mac waitlist for non-Windows users.

v1.7.4

May 26, 2026

—Background features (search recall, embeddings) now self-heal when your session token gets out of sync.
—New session-expired notification when you actually need to sign back in — no more silent failures.
—Hardened the credential layer across every authenticated call.

v1.7.3

May 22, 2026

—The streaming bubble now breathes while your chief is thinking, so you always know it's alive.
—After 5 seconds of silence, a gentle elapsed-time caption appears — no more wondering "is it stuck?"
—Cancelled responses now persist their partial output instead of disappearing entirely.

v1.7.0 – 1.7.2

May 2026

—Archive any conversation without deleting it. New Active | Archived tabs in the sidebar.
—90-second read timeout on stalled streams + partial-response persistence for graceful recovery.
—Empty-stream guard prevents the rare "blank bubble" outcome on flaky network.

v1.6.0 – 1.6.1

May 2026

—Word documents now use Cambria typography with proper headings, tables, callout boxes, and image embedding.
—Auto-updater bug fixes: in-app updates now work reliably even after long sessions.
—Onboarding captures your own display name so the assistant addresses you correctly.

v1.5.0

May 2026

v1.3.0

v1.2.0 – 1.2.1

—The assistant now builds a timestamped, structured profile of you (me.md) with full version history.
