New models and a thinking mode: added Opus 5 and Kimi K3, plus a new Max Thinking tier.
Quick usage lookups: when picking a model, you can now instantly check your Claude or Codex subscription usage.
Freely arranged mini tool buttons: mini tool buttons can now be repositioned, so you can pin the ones you use most.
Mini tools support OAuth 2.0: lets mini tools connect to more data services via OAuth.
Image display support: Finch can now display images, along with generation status while an image is being created.
Assistant mode in the sidebar: a new assistant mode for using Finch in different scenarios.
New WeChat Bot mini tool: chat with Finch directly through WeChat.
New Notion mini tool: lets Finch access your Notion data.
Improvements
Faster startup: Finch now cold-starts instantly, with no wait.
Smarter context compaction: reworked the compaction strategy to support both automatic and manual modes; if a task isn't finished, auto-compaction resumes it automatically.
Reworked permission handling: clearer command execution and authorization flows.
More stable animations: fixed scroll jitter during reasoning and message-expand jitter, making long conversations scroll more smoothly.
Better model picker: models now show provider icons and are visually distinguished by size, making them easier to choose.
Simplified information: merged some Timeline tool entries to cut down on clutter and keep focus on what matters.
Fixes
No more dropped or duplicated text: fixed occasional missing or repeated characters during streaming replies — output now matches exactly.
Reliable background session sync: replies and status now update in real time after switching sessions or sending follow-ups, with no more lost or stalled output.
Better handling of long content: very long replies and file writes are now processed in chunks instead of being cut off.
No more accidental sidebar pop-ups: the sidebar no longer expands on its own when the mouse leaves the window, making hover-to-expand more predictable.
Other fixes: continued fixes for known issues to improve overall stability.
