Memory States & Session Context Release

Major release featuring the memory states system and session context (lifeboat pattern) for intelligent context preservation across compaction.

New Features

• Memory States System - Memories now have states (new, low, high, removed) for intelligent ranking and cleanup
• Session Context (Lifeboat Pattern) - Per-session state that survives context compaction, auto-populated from extraction pipeline
• Periodic Extraction During Streaming - AI extraction triggers periodically during active sessions, not just at the end
• AI-Based Skill Generalization - Better skill deduplication using semantic similarity
• Hide Sessions - Ability to hide sessions from the session list
• Tag-Based Memory Search - Search memories by tag (e.g., tag:bug, tag:security)

Improvements

• ShareCard Light Theme - Improved share card design with light mode support
• Skill Names in Tool Pills - Tool pills now display skill names for better context
• Universal Memory Types - Migrated to unified memory type system across all components
• Settings UI Improvements - Cleaner organization of memory and skills settings

Bug Fixes

• Fixed memory type icons to match universal types
• Fixed CHECK constraint handling for memory types migration

Downloads

• macOS: .dmg (Apple Silicon & Intel)
• Windows: .exe installer (coming soon)
• Linux: .AppImage (coming soon)

CLI Isolation Fix

Fixed

• macOS Permission Dialogs - Fixed Claude CLI triggering permission dialogs (Documents, Apple Music) when spawning for AI features. Added isolation flags (--strict-mcp-config, --mcp-config, --disable-slash-commands) to prevent loading user's MCP servers/plugins
• Skills Detection - Fixed "Claude Code is not installed" error for skills discovery by using detect_provider() instead of is_installed() which doesn't work in GUI apps

Download:

• Apple Silicon: yolog_aarch64.dmg
• Intel Mac: yolog_x64.dmg

CLI Execution Fix

Fixed

• CLI Execution Path - Fixed all AI features hanging in production. Detection found the CLI path but execution still used just the command name which GUI apps can't resolve. Now passes full CLI path through all AI operations:
  • Title generation
  • Marker detection (Phase 1 and Phase 2)
  • Memory extraction
  • Skills extraction
  • Session export (Technical Summary, Highlight Reel)

Yolog Desktop v0.5.6 - CLI Detection Fix

Fixed

• CLI Detection for GUI Apps - Fixed Claude Code not being detected when app is launched from Finder/Dock. GUI apps on macOS don't inherit the user's shell PATH, so now checks common installation paths directly:
  • ~/.local/bin/ (npm/bun global to user)
  • ~/.bun/bin/ (bun global)
  • /usr/local/bin/ (system-wide)
  • /opt/homebrew/bin/ (Homebrew on Apple Silicon)

Downloads:

• macOS (Apple Silicon): yolog_0.5.6_aarch64.dmg
• macOS (Intel): yolog_0.5.6_x64.dmg

Yolog Desktop v0.5.5 - Startup Sync & Memory Skills

Added

• Startup Session Sync - Sessions that grow while the app is closed now auto-sync on startup
• Memory Skills Settings - New "Memory & Skills" tab in Settings for MCP and skill configuration
• Quick Skill Install - Install /yo skills with a single command in Claude Code
• New Messages Banner - Visual indicator when background sync loads new messages in Yolo mode

Fixed

• MCP Sidecar Path - Fixed MCP server path resolution for bundled apps (Contents/MacOS/)
• Banner Auto-dismiss - Fixed new messages banner not auto-dismissing in Yolo mode
• Stale Session Detection - Compare DB file_size with actual file size to detect growth

Changed

• Settings Reorganization - Moved MCP config from AI Features to dedicated Memory & Skills tab
• Skill Structure - Split /yo skill into modular RECALL.md and CONTEXT.md files

Downloads:

• macOS (Apple Silicon): yolog_0.5.5_aarch64.dmg
• macOS (Intel): yolog_0.5.5_x64.dmg

App Rename & Data Management Fix

Changes

• App Rename - Desktop app renamed from "yolog-desktop" to "yolog" in menu bar and About dialog

Bug Fixes

• Clear All Data - Now properly deletes all user data including projects, memories, skills, and markers
• UI Refresh - Main app UI now refreshes automatically after clearing all data
• Delete Modal - Fixed project delete confirmation modal not covering full screen
• State Sync - Unified project deletion state management for consistent behavior

New in v0.5 (if upgrading from v0.3.x)

New Features

• Live Token Streaming - Real-time token usage updates work without Yolo Mode
• Light Theme - Frosted Circuit design system with light mode
• Yolog Memory MCP - Claude Code integration for searching project memories
• Skill Discovery - Find similar workflow patterns with vector embeddings
• Smart Search - FTS5 with BM25 ranking for better results
• Memory Layer - AI-powered knowledge extraction from sessions

Improvements

• Token Deduplication - Fixed double-counting using Anthropic message.id
• Agent File Watching - Recursive watching for subagent sessions
• Mode Separation - Clean separation of Yolo mode vs active session watching
• UI Polish - Comprehensive color consistency and spacing improvements
