The developer of LokalBot has released version 0.2.0, introducing several new features while maintaining its commitment to being a 100% on-device Mac application.
- Agent Mode allows an embedded coding agent to run locally via the main LLM with gated write and bash calls.
- An MCP server enables external clients like Claude Desktop to query the meeting library using local inference.
- System-wide dictation is now available by holding ⌥ Space for on-device ASR pasting in any app.
- RAM management has been improved through a broker that unloads idle llama-server instances and uses LRU eviction.
- The release includes live meeting views, on-device TTS via Kokoro, and fixes for cotyping and model downloads.
The update ensures the app remains fully offline after initial setup, with all servers running on localhost-only.
