Version 1.9 introduces a direct-but-safe application policy across Apple Intelligence, catalog models and imported GGUF models. Responses are now checked before they are shown, saved, spoken or exported. The model library is reorganized by objective size: Fast (1–2B), Balanced (3B) and Advanced (7–8B). Existing downloads, imports and conversations remain available. Model descriptions now focus on speed, memory, reasoning, writing, coding, attachments and device compatibility. This update also refreshes onboarding, personas, paywall copy and App Store positioning around clear answers without unnecessary fluff.
