- Dev Update: App and File Control - 20 August 2026
PC Control Update Hello everyone :) Current Progress I am currently continuing to work on the control system. At the moment, not much can be controlled yet, only Andromeda itself and media playback. Now I am working on enabling the ability to directly open and close all programs and files on the PC. It can be a bit tricky at times, as some processes involve specific workflows and I first have to figure out which ones those are. Community Testing and Safety I will make it as comprehensive as possible, but I certainly will not catch everything on my own. Once the update goes live, you are welcome to help by testing different programs so I can make them compatible. Important system files are locked, so you cannot break anything. Initially, only opening and closing will work, since deleting files requires much more caution to prevent anything from being removed by accident. Stay tuned. The…
- Andromeda v0.8.1 – Experimental PC Control - 14 August 2026
Andromeda v0.8.1 New Features Experimental PC Control: Andromeda can now control selected PC functions through voice and text commands, including Spotify playback, system volume, launching applications, and organizing files. Automatic Chat Naming: New chats are now named automatically based on their content. Long titles use an animated marquee so the complete name remains accessible. Improvements & Optimizations Safety Modes for PC Control: A new settings menu provides three permission modes: Disabled, Ask for Confirmation, and Fully Automatic. Chat Management via Commands: Chats can now be created or deleted directly through voice or text commands, such as "Create new chat" or "Delete this chat." Extended Onboarding Tour: A new tour card explains PC control immediately after the wake word step. Smart Chat Sorting: Recently active chats now move automatically to the top instead of being…
- Andromeda Update 0.8.0 - 13 August 2026
Andromeda v0.8.0 The Wakeword is finally here. You no longer need to touch your keyboard, or if you are gaming, you don't have to alt-tab out of the game to speak with Andromeda. I experimented for a long time and finally found a clean solution. Additionally, Andromeda can now see images. (Only models that support Vision) So have fun. Patchnotes New Features Wakeword Recognition: Added hands-free control via voice activation. Preconfigured as well as custom wake words are supported.

- Update on Early Access & Wakeword Development - 10 August 2026
Hello everyone:) Today there are 2 things I'd like to talk about. The first is an issue with the Early Access status and the second is a small update on the development of Andromeda. The Early Access Status I'm not sure where the error happened, but some of you probably noticed that the Early Access status was gone for a while. I have no explanation myself as to how and when this happened. I only noticed it myself by chance at some point. I contacted support, and now it's being displayed correctly again. So yes, Andromeda is still in Early Access and hasn't reached its final status by a long shot. Which brings us to a good transition. Development Update: Wakeword I'm currently working on the wakeword. It wasn't easy at all to finally get it working, but I finally made it. Current Detection Limitations There is currently an issue that you will unfortunately have to put up with. It is tie…

Improvements Privacy & Telemetry Switch A toggle switch has been added to the settings to allow users to disable telemetry data transmission at any time. Previous telemetry data has been completely erased from the server. Bug Fixes Chat Performance: Minor bug fixes to improve chat UI stability.
- Andromeda Update 0.7.0 - 29 July 2026
Andromeda Update v0.7.0 Update 0.7.0 focuses on making Andromeda easier to understand, navigate, and personalize. It introduces a guided onboarding experience, expands the available customization options, redesigns the Model Library, and adds several other features and improvements. New Features Guided Onboarding Tour: A new guided introduction helps first-time users become familiar with Andromeda’s interface and discover its most important features. Theme Customizer: Supporter Pack owners can now create and save their own custom themes by individually adjusting the colors of different interface elements.

- Development Update: Model Library, China, and the Road to Version 0.7 - 24 July 2026
Hey everyone :) A Look at the Updated Model Library Here is another small update on the current state of Andromeda, along with some information about the restriction in China. Over the past few days, I have been working on the model library, and I can now show you what it currently looks like. The design is not final, just like many other parts of Andromeda, but my first goal was to make the library clearer and easier to navigate. I think it has definitely become much more organised now :D The redesigned cards make it easier to see important information about each model at a glance. Manufacturer logos have also been added, making it much easier to recognise where each model comes from. An Update on China I contacted Valve Support regarding the release of Andromeda in China, and unfortunately, I received some bad news. Because Andromeda supports many different AI models, the restriction…
- A Look at the Next Andromeda Update - 21 July 2026
Hey everyone :) I wanted to show you what I’m currently working on. Everything mentioned here will be included in the next update. Supporter Pack upgrade First of all, the Supporter Pack is getting an upgrade. You will be able to create your own UI design, or simply continue using the presets you are already familiar with. Chat improvements and code blocks I’m also actively working on fixing a few bugs in the chats that I have found. In addition, you will finally get proper code blocks that highlight code and allow you to copy everything at once. This means you will no longer have to copy the code line by line. When will the update arrive? At the moment, I do not know exactly when the update will be released. It may arrive by the end of the month, but August at the latest. There is still a little more work to do, as I also want to redesign the model library and make it clearer and easie…
- What’s Next for Andromeda? - 14 July 2026
Hey everyone :) First of all, I would like to welcome all the new people once again and thank you for using Andromeda so actively. A Few Words About the Roadmap Today, I wanted to say a few things about the roadmap. Since I am working on Andromeda alone and still have quite a few other things going on, it may happen that updates take a little time. But you do not need to worry: I am still here and continuing to work on it. Knowing myself, I will probably underestimate myself again and the updates will arrive faster than expected anyway. :D No Fixed Roadmap There will not be a fixed roadmap, as I want to remain agile and flexible. Instead, I will let you know step by step what I am planning to work on next. Just like I am doing now. UI and UX Improvements For now, I will focus more heavily on optimizations. This mainly concerns the UI and UX. My main goal is to provide you with a complet…
- Andromeda Early Access is LIVE 🚀 (And a little sorry for the false start) - 10 July 2026
Hey everyone :) First of all, I want to apologize again for the mishap with the time. It is a bit embarrassing for me 🥲 But now we can get started. If there are any problems, I am online. So please feel free to share your bugs with me. Then I wish everyone who waited and those who are newly joining a lot of fun :)
- Release stream - 10 July 2026
Start now!
- Small AM/PM Mix-up – Launch is tonight! (Launch 6:50 PM CEST) - 10 July 2026
Quick Update: AM/PM Confusion! Hey everyone, in all the pre-launch excitement, I accidentally mixed up AM and PM in the system. To clarify: The release is still fully on schedule for today, July 10th, at 6:50 PM CEST (18:50), not in the morning! Thank you so much for your patience and for waiting. See you all in a bit 🥲
- Andromeda - Official Release Date & Feature Update - 30 June 2026
Release Date & Development Update Hello everyone :) As you might have already noticed, I have set an official release date after all. This is not a coincidence. A few days ago, I mentioned that the release would probably happen around July or August, as I did not want to put any unnecessary pressure on myself if things weren't fully ready. Well, that has changed. I reached my goals for this release much sooner than expected. I am currently using these final few days to fix some minor bugs that pop up during testing. New Feature: Native Language Launch Additionally, I finally managed to ensure that Andromeda automatically launches in your preferred language. This way, you do not have to manually switch it around in the UI anymore :) Demo Removal & Chat Migration I also want to inform you that the demo will be removed from the store once the full version launches. Since Andromeda is compl…
- Early Access Update & Exciting New Features! - 26 June 2026
Hey guys :) First of all, I would like to thank you for over 500 wish lists and well over 100 users. I would especially like to thank those who have used the demo for several hours. That's exactly why I like doing this and it gives me strength to keep going. Today, I also want to give you a quick update on the status of the Early Access release. Early Access Timeline I deliberately didn't set a fixed date so I wouldn't put too much pressure on myself. However, it won't take much longer! If things go quickly and I'm happy with how it's looking, we could launch as early as July. In the slowest case—if I find a lot more things that need optimization—it will lean more towards August. New Features & Improvements You can look forward to quite a few awesome updates: UI Tweaks: I've slightly adjusted the UI so that various buttons now provide much better feedback. Quality of Life: You won't hav…
- Cosmic Doodling: Paint Your Own Constellations - 20 June 2026
I think we all know the feeling. Sometimes you just need a bit of occupational therapy while you wait. To make your time working with Andromeda a little more personal, I’m working on a fun little feature for you. Starting with Early Access, you will be able to draw and save your creations. If an AI response should ever take a little longer, you now have something to pass the time. Or maybe you just want to paint a pretty wallpaper for yourself :DAnd please don't judge my artwork 🥺

- Early Access Status: What I'm working on right now - 28 April 2026
Hello everyone, Quick note upfront: Future posts and updates will be in English only. Translating everything into multiple languages constantly takes up too much time for me as a solo developer—time I'd much rather invest directly into the code and the further development of Andromeda. Today, I have a short update regarding the planned Early Access. Since I am developing Andromeda completely on my own, I need your help: Please feel free to share any bugs you find and let me know your suggestions for improvement. Also, it would be awesome if you could share your hardware specs in general—even if you are not experiencing any issues. This helps me immensely to see which systems you are using the tool on. I truly appreciate all the feedback from the demo! So far, it has been pretty quiet here in the Hub, which I will just take as a good sign that most things are running smoothly. However, I…
