Witsy 2.6 Pre-Release - New UI Design

[nbonamy]

Hello all,

Following @MyButterMilk suggestion, Witsy has gone through a makeover. You can see some screenshots in this thread although minor tweaks have been made since.

A pre-release is available here: https://github.com/nbonamy/witsy/releases/tag/v2.6.2.

I don't expect anything to be broken except for MCP on Windows: I had to to a last minute fix that may have broken this feature so if you rely on this, skip this first version. I will fix this soon if it is confirmed broken.

Nevertheless, I still recommend saving the settings.json and history.json files under Witsy folder:

• Windows: %APPDATA%/Witsy
• macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Witsy
• Linux: ~/.config/Witsy

I plan to do more redesign especially on dialogs which do not fit the new design at all but would like to release 2.6.0 as-is as soon as possible so for the moment, let's focus on what is broken. Please do not create GitHub issues, just comment here.

Thanks!

Tested the pre-release. Looks awesome.

Just released 2.6.2 which is I hope the latest pre-release. Nobody reported any blocking concern so hopefully this is the one. I took the risk of incorporating a Quick Prompt rework so will wait a couple of days before promoting to latest release.

The rework actually fixed global shortcuts (quick prompt & run AI command) for me on Win11. Both worked unreliably.

Strange! Nothing has changed for this 🤣

Then I guess it's did you try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Did a clean install for the pre-release.

Available in 2.6.3 release.
