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.
