Murage 1.0.12 is out for Mac, Windows and Linux. Two things lead it. The ? key opens help on whatever screen you are on, and Murage now opens first and clears deleted chats in the background once it is up.
Help on every screen
Press the ? key, or the ? button, and a help panel opens with tips and search. It works in every window, so the help is on the screen you are stuck on.
We would rather you press one key than leave the app to go and look something up.
Find it in Settings
Type in the Settings search box and the matching cards appear. The command palette searches Settings too, so you can reach a setting without knowing which page it lives on.
Starting with the next update, a small box at the bottom left shows the status and the percent while a download runs. Escape closes it. The box arrives with 1.0.12, so the update after this one is the first you will see it on.
Settings also has a Preview card, under Phone and other devices, with two switches, phone tools and share and ask. Both start off.
Starting up
Murage opens first and finishes clearing deleted chats in the background after it is up. If a start takes longer than usual, the recovery window says so and offers Retry startup, and it shows progress. A read-only backup folder gets its own plain message, and a full disk message names both drives. Once the old server log passes 50 MB, Murage starts a fresh one at launch and keeps one old copy.
Long runs get more room: a long direct chat turn can stay quiet for up to 60 minutes before Murage stops it, and a Full access routine keeps running when the computer's environment check is slow.
The smaller things
Needs you counts a routine's waiting card once. A thread folder Murage makes shares the trust of the bot's workspace, so it raises no extra card. Memory leaves thin, placeholder and passing notes out. A changed bot picture shows straight away on desktop and phone, and every bot keeps its own face. Changing or removing a Flux key shows a restart notice in Models. Choosing the computer's time zone again takes effect without a restart on Windows.
When an organization has turned off plan access for a Claude login, Murage says where to switch accounts: Settings, then Models, Advanced, Claude accounts. A Codex bot on Windows can explain a named-pipe refusal and offer to run the step on a Claude bot. Error text and logs mask more forms of a key. And more of Murage follows your system's reduced motion setting.
How to update
Murage shows an update banner when 1.0.12 is ready. You can also choose Check for updates in Settings, or get the build from the download page. The full list of changes is on the changelog and the docs cover the rest. Then press ? on the first screen you land on.
