Desktop app 0.12.6 — Rapid can look things up
Released 2026-08-07 · full changelog · GitHub releases
Bundles the 0.12.5 engine. The headline is a set of built-in tools the model can reach mid-answer — with you deciding what it is allowed to touch.
- Weather, web search, and reading a page. Ask about something recent and the model can go and find out. Each lookup shows a card you can open to see exactly what it asked for and what came back. Fetching a page asks permission first and names the site — and “Don’t allow” is a normal answer, not an error. Search works out of the box; the backend is switchable in Settings → Tools, and private or local addresses are refused.
- Conversations can be pinned, renamed and archived. Right-click a chat in the sidebar or use the
···button on hover. Pinned chats get their own group at the top; archived ones collapse into a group you can reopen. Renaming a chat stops Rapid from re-titling it afterwards. - Deleting a conversation asks first, names the chat, and says plainly that it cannot be undone.
- Every message has its own actions — copy any message, edit a question you already sent, regenerate an answer you did not like.
- Models that can never chat are no longer offered. The picker was listing entries a conversation could never use.
