Full Release Notes
## OMI Desktop v0.12.156 ### What's New - Choose which Google account Omi reads email from — in Settings and during onboarding — instead of silently connecting the first readable browser profile - Gmail account selection now fails closed when browser identity cannot be verified, keeps reads on the selected profile, and cancels onboarding selection safely - Improved Claude Code and Codex connections so they automatically know how to use your Omi context - Your AI profile is now generated by Omi’s managed model instead of a separate desktop model - Calendar, Gmail and Apple Notes imports now use Omi’s managed synthesis instead of a separate desktop model - Memory-log import and knowledge-graph discovery now use Omi’s managed extraction instead of a separate desktop model - The Home tab is now called Chat, with a chat icon - Fixed an invisible area around the floating notch that could block buttons in Omi and other apps - Home now opens straight into your chat with Omi; the activity timeline moved to a new Activity tab in the renamed Memories section, and the window hides when you click away - Beta updates now ship automatically every hour whenever new fixes have merged - Reliability fix in the chat knowledge-graph tooling - Fixed invisible dead zones: the notch overlay no longer swallows clicks meant for windows beneath it (including Omi's own top navigation) - Notch notifications are wider and more legible — a larger accent icon, bigger title and body text, and roomier spacing so proactive nudges are easy to see at a glance - Fixed routine button actions playing unnecessary click sounds - The Command-O window now closes when you click the desktop or another app - Focus nudges now name your due-today tasks when you're drifting, AI-captured tasks wait in a collapsed Suggestions section until you accept them, and two capture bugs that silently disabled all proactive notifications (phantom Mission Control, phantom idle) are fixed - Improved chat tool progress with an animated timeline that extends as each step starts - Fixed an issue that delayed app updates from being delivered ### Downloads - **DMG Installer**: For fresh installs, download the DMG below - **Auto-Update**: Existing users will receive this update automatically via Sparkle <!-- KEY_VALUE_START isLive: false channel: candidate edSignature: 7GdtAX3sx4znSR8T/cf2t6mZXdZwmNWXyCgM+E+jYyA2fLFH1cPQmVUCa6Tp9jNq927pMzM62M8vEBkRrdmNAQ== betaEdSignature: dR5DUBRXr5/YYDilvGEw7p9uJgJh+1fcoFTSs7GKHXxTF9HRQFhJwftlfBp27ELYU6OPGHJ2KIMMbXo0h/8iDQ== changelog: Choose which Google account Omi reads email from — in Settings and during onboarding — instead of silently connecting the first readable browser profile|Gmail account selection now fails closed when browser identity cannot be verified, keeps reads on the selected profile, and cancels onboarding selection safely|Improved Claude Code and Codex connections so they automatically know how to use your Omi context|Your AI profile is now generated by Omi’s managed model instead of a separate desktop model|Calendar, Gmail and Apple Notes imports now use Omi’s managed synthesis instead of a separate desktop model|Memory-log import and knowledge-graph discovery now use Omi’s managed extraction instead of a separate desktop model|The Home tab is now called Chat, with a chat icon|Fixed an invisible area around the floating notch that could block buttons in Omi and other apps|Home now opens straight into your chat with Omi; the activity timeline moved to a new Activity tab in the renamed Memories section, and the window hides when you click away|Beta updates now ship automatically every hour whenever new fixes have merged|Reliability fix in the chat knowledge-graph tooling|Fixed invisible dead zones: the notch overlay no longer swallows clicks meant for windows beneath it (including Omi's own top navigation)|Notch notifications are wider and more legible — a larger accent icon, bigger title and body text, and roomier spacing so proactive nudges are easy to see at a glance|Fixed routine button actions playing unnecessary click sounds|The Command-O window now closes when you click the desktop or another app|Focus nudges now name your due-today tasks when you're drifting, AI-captured tasks wait in a collapsed Suggestions section until you accept them, and two capture bugs that silently disabled all proactive notifications (phantom Mission Control, phantom idle) are fixed|Improved chat tool progress with an animated timeline that extends as each step starts|Fixed an issue that delayed app updates from being delivered KEY_VALUE_END -->
