What changed in each version of lite.computer, newest first.
lite.computer checks for a new version once a day. How to install one is in Settings.
1.6.9 — November 1, 2026
Comments are now one mode. Click the Comment button, now just its icon, to open your comments and highlight the page. Write your note in the box below, or click a spot on the page to pin it there. Press Esc, click Hide, or click the Comment icon again to finish.
While comments are open, clicking the page picks a spot for your note. You can still scroll. To click a link on the page, close comments first.
If you close comments before posting, your note and the spot you picked are still there when you open them again, as long as you stay on that page.
The comments panel is slimmer, so more of your page stays in view.
Long names in the sidebar and on gallery cards now take two lines, so names that start the same are easier to tell apart.
Every list names a page by its file name. Point at a page's name to see its title.
When a search narrows your lists, the sidebar and the gallery say so, for example “3 of 120 pages match ‘pricing’”, with a Clear button.
Search now finds folder names too. It now comes first in the row of buttons at the top right, and it clears when you switch to another Showspace.
1.6.8 — October 23, 2026
Your pinned notes now show as numbered pins on the page while the comment strip is open. Click a pin to see its note, or click the pin number on a note to jump to its spot.
When your AI rewrites a page, each note looks for its spot again. If it finds the spot but the words there changed, the note says “edited since you commented”. If it can’t find the spot, it says “Spot not found”, and the note is kept.
The Comment button at the top of the window now says Comment.
1.6.7 — October 22, 2026
You can now scroll the page while comment mode is on.
1.6.6 — October 22, 2026
You can now comment on an exact spot. Click the Comment button, or press C, then click anything on the page and write your note.
Your note is pinned to what you clicked, so your AI knows exactly which part you mean.
Press Esc or click Comment again to go back to reading.
1.6.5 — October 19, 2026
A Showspace can now hold 2,000 pages, up from 500.
The gallery shows 250 pages at a time. Click Show 250 more pages at the bottom to see the next ones.
Your AI now says when a Showspace is too large to see whole, instead of telling you a page is missing.
1.6.4 — October 17, 2026
Animated pages now finish on time. Counters, charts and canvas animations no longer run at half speed when a page first opens.
⌘R now refreshes the page even after you have clicked inside it.
1.6.3 — October 16, 2026
Your AI can now read and update any of your Showspaces, not only the one that is open. Nothing on your screen changes while it works.
1.6.2 — October 15, 2026
Add any page or folder to Favorites from its right-click or ⋯ menu. Favorites sit at the top of the sidebar, and your folders stay where they are.
Favorites are saved with each Showspace, so they follow it to your other Macs.
If a favorite is moved or deleted, it stays in the list, dimmed, until you remove it.
Your AI can now find and read the comments you leave on pages.
1.6.1 — October 8, 2026
Opening a Showspace shows its progress: pages found and time taken. If a folder is still arriving from your cloud drive, you can open another one instead.
If lite.computer quit while a Showspace was still opening, it asks before opening that folder again.
A Set up your AI bar sits above your page until your AI is connected or has saved a page. Click it for the setup prompt, or close it.
When you make a Showspace, the folder picker says what to choose, and lite.computer asks before opening one that is already there.
The setup prompt asks your AI to save each page in the right folder and to check with you before making a new one.
New Showspaces get an updated Welcome Kit: a quicker way to set up your AI, how to organize your folders, and a practice window that matches the app.
1.6.0 — October 5, 2026
Every color family now has a day and a night version. In Settings, choose System to follow your Mac’s light or dark appearance, or pick Light or Dark.
⌘-click a page, or drag it onto your tabs, to open it in a new tab and see it straight away. Open in New Tab is also in each page’s ⋯ menu.
Use the arrow keys in the sidebar to move through your pages and folders. Press Return to open the one you want.

Eligible pages no Mac has drawn now get a thumbnail. lite.computer downloads the page, draws it, and returns it to the cloud, so only the small thumbnail stays on your disk.

Help opens the Help Desk.
1.4.2 — September 28, 2026

On an exploded display, press Esc twice to gather every window back into one.
1.4.1 — September 28, 2026
Explode now turns your screens into a clean display. Pages fill every window with the app controls tucked away, and ⌘⇧F in any window brings them back.
Prefer the controls showing? Choose Show app controls next to Exploded windows in Settings.
Implode gathers every page back into one window, at the size and place it had before Explode, and the other windows close cleanly.
Tearing a tab into its own window is smoother, and the new window stays fully on your screen, even when you drop the tab near the edge.
1.4.0 — September 28, 2026
lite.computer stays smooth when you come back to it, even in a Showspace with hundreds of pages.
