Still no account, and nothing ever leaves your iPhone. NEW — Code Mode, rebuilt Point your camera at code on a screen, terminal, or editor and tap once. Code Mode now captures a sharp still, reads the code faithfully on-device (operators and indentation preserved — no autocorrect mangling your symbols), and then lets you: • Extract — get the exact code as clean, copyable text • Explain — a plain-English walkthrough of what it does • Review — bugs, security issues, and smells with concrete fixes • Debug — point at an error or stack trace and get the likely cause and a fix The heavy lifting runs on your on-device coding model, so it understands code far better than before. The extracted text is editable, so you can fix the odd misread before asking. Send any capture straight to chat, or save it as a snippet. IMPROVED • A cleaner camera viewfinder with a simple framing guide for code. • Live OCR is now an independent toggle you can flip on in any mode. • Lighter, faster camera tab — we removed per-frame work that's no longer needed.

CodeLens 2.5 builds on 2.4's on-device assistant with a few focused upgrades — still no account, and nothing ever leaves your iPhone. NEW Generate images right in chat Ask the assistant to picture something and the image appears inline in your conversation — no need to switch to the Images tab. It can fold image generation into a multi-step answer alongside web search, your files, and your Knowledge Base. Save to your Knowledge Base from chat Ask the assistant to remember a snippet or a document and it's indexed on-device, ready to retrieve and cite in later questions. IMPROVED Clearer model badges Models now show at-a-glance badges for what each one can do — Tools, Coder, Fast, and Multilingual — so it's easier to pick the right model for the job. Sharper built-in math The assistant's calculator now returns precise decimal results instead of rounding division down to a whole number.

CodeLens 2.4 is a big on-device update: generate images, chat with your own files, reach the app hands-free, and enjoy a smarter, sturdier assistant — all without an account, and nothing ever leaves your iPhone. NEW Image generation, on your device A new Images section in Models generates pictures from a text prompt entirely on-device. Pick SDXL Turbo for speed or Stable Diffusion 2.1 for detail, then share straight from the preview. CodeLens suggests the model best suited to your device. Siri & Shortcuts Ask CodeLens, start a voice chat, or caption what you're looking at — hands-free. Add the actions to Siri, the Shortcuts app, or your Action Button. Instant answers with Apple Intelligence On supported devices, get a quick reply right inside Siri and Shortcuts — no app launch and no download. Knowledge Base — chat with your files Add your own documents and ask questions about them completely offline. CodeLens finds the relevant passages on-device and cites them in its answer. A smarter assistant The assistant can now search the web, read files, and look things up in your Knowledge Base across multiple steps to handle tougher questions. Search your chats from the Home Screen Past conversations are now searchable in Spotlight — tap a result to jump straight back in. IMPROVED More reliable image generation Generating no longer runs out of memory mid-render, so it finishes cleanly instead of quitting. Smarter model handling Models are organized by type — Assistants, Vision, Image generation, and Voice — and image models are recognized correctly whether you're browsing the catalog or importing your own. Fewer crashes on large models Loading a model too big for your device now stops with a clear message instead of crashing, with an adjustable memory-safety setting. New built-in diagnostics capture crashes and a breadcrumb trail to make issues easier to fix. Reclaim wasted space A "Clean up partial downloads" button recovers the gigabytes left behind by cancelled or failed downloads in one tap. More reliable downloads Downloads retry automatically through dropped connections and flaky networks, and a load-timeout watchdog recovers a stuck model load.

CodeLens 2.3 adds on-device image generation and makes model handling smarter and sturdier. NEW Image generation, on your device A new Images section in Models lets you generate pictures from a text prompt entirely on-device — no account, no network, nothing leaves your iPhone. Pick SDXL Turbo for fast results or Stable Diffusion 2.1 for more detail, type a prompt, and go. The app automatically suggests the model best suited to your device, and you can share the result straight from the preview. IMPROVED Importing models actually works Importing a model from Files now detects what kind of model it is, finds the weights even when they're nested in a subfolder, and tells you clearly if a folder isn't a usable model — instead of silently doing nothing. Fewer crashes on large models Loading a model that's too big for your device now stops with a clear message instead of crashing the app. There's a new, adjustable memory-safety setting if you want to push your device harder. Reclaim wasted space Cancelled or failed downloads used to leave gigabytes of hidden files behind. A new "Clean up partial downloads" button shows exactly how much you can recover and frees it in one tap. More reliable downloads Downloads now retry automatically through dropped connections and flaky networks instead of failing outright, and a load-timeout watchdog recovers a stuck model load.

CodeLens 2.1 makes Voice mode work the moment you tap into it. NEW Voice models, in the box Two on-device text-to-speech engines now ship with the app: KittenTTS Nano (8 English voices) and Kokoro-82M (57 voices across 9 languages). Open a voice conversation on a fresh install and the assistant starts speaking back — no downloads, no setup, no network. The Models → Catalog still lets you grab the higher-quality KittenTTS Mini if you want it. FIXES • Fixed a crash in Voice mode the first time the microphone permission was granted. The audio engine could observe a half-initialized audio session and trip an AVFAudio assertion. The engine now surfaces this as a recoverable error you can retry, instead of terminating the app. • Audited the rest of the audio pipeline for the same family of crashes and confirmed every other AVAudioEngine entry point already fails gracefully.

CodeLens 2.0 turns your iPhone into a local-model lab — download, test, compare, and rank on-device LLMs and VLMs, completely offline. Free, no account, nothing leaves the device unless you say so. NEW Model Arena — A/B any two models Send one prompt to two models, read both answers side by side, and pick a winner. Flip on Blind mode to hide the names and randomize which answer is which, so you judge the output, not the brand. Every vote feeds a persistent on-device leaderboard — an Elo rating and win/loss record built for YOUR device and YOUR prompts. Works with built-in, downloaded, and custom models, and labels each result's quantization and runtime so you can pit 4-bit against 8-bit head to head. Quality eval — score quality, not just speed The benchmark tells you how fast a model runs; the new quality eval tells you how good it is. A pack of auto-graded, on-device checks — strict JSON output, instruction-following, arithmetic, formatting, and code — produces a single quality score plus a pass/fail breakdown. No cloud, no judge model, fully deterministic. A refreshed model roster Added the Qwen3-4B "2507" refresh in both Instruct and Thinking flavors, an 8-bit fidelity variant for the highest-memory devices, and Llama 3.2 1B for the lightest ones. Picker rows now carry capability badges — Vision, Thinking, Recommended, Best — alongside the runtime engine, so you can tell what a model does before you load it. Web search from the assistant The on-device assistant can finally use the web when your question needs current information. It asks first (honoring your Web Access setting), runs the search, reads the top results on-device, and answers with citations — then gets out of the way for everything it can already answer offline. POLISH • The visual A/B compare screen gains the same winner voting, Blind mode, and leaderboard as the text arena. • Finer generation control: sampler settings and an optional JSON output mode for the assistant. • Capability and runtime metadata is now a single source of truth, so badges, device-fit filtering, and tool gating all stay in sync. FIXES • Fixed the assistant being unable to actually run a web search it requested. Under the default "ask every time" setting the model's search now pops a one-tap permission prompt and runs, instead of silently erroring out. • Hardened the on-device generation path against unsupported sampler options so model loads and replies stay reliable across the expanded roster.
