OpenBot Mobile 1.4.9
New
- Photos in the attachment menu now also shows videos. Select a MOV or MP4 video to attach it to a chat, as on the desktop. A video must be 10 MB or smaller.
- Search models in agent settings and in Create agent. The Model row now opens a list of the provider's models with a search bar. Type a name or a model id to find a model without a scroll through the full list, such as the OpenRouter list (#6503).
- OpenBot can now get fixes between store versions. When a fix is ready, the home screen shows A new OpenBot is ready. Tap Update and the app restarts with the fix, with no visit to the App Store or Google Play. This works from this version on.
- Settings → About shows a short update ID after the version when the app runs such a fix.
- API key for ChatGPT and Claude in Server settings > Providers. When the server can read the key, the provider page has an API key row, as on the desktop. The key goes to the server only.
- Default for new agents on each provider page. Turn it on to make new agents of the server start with this provider. The page also shows how many agents use the provider.
- Sign in in the browser on a provider page when the server signs the provider in with a code. Use it when the code sign-in does not work.
- Give a channel its own picture in Channel info: upload a photo, or choose an icon and a color, as on the desktop. The channel list, the chat header and search show it in place of the member faces. A channel picture that you set on the desktop now shows on the phone too. The server must run this OpenBot version.
- Connect Postiz from the Apps marketplace with browser sign-in or your Postiz API key, so agents can list your social media channels, and draft, schedule and publish posts.
- Get a notification when an agent finishes or stops with an error in a thread. Settings > Notifications > Thread replies turns these notifications off on this phone. The server must run the next OpenBot version.
Improved
- Open the export agent in the Grok Bot import guide now opens the new Migrator by OpenBot page in Grok Bot.
- The app now also looks for a fix when you come back to it, not only when it starts. It asks OpenBot's own update server, and it accepts only updates that OpenBot signed.
- The provider page has a new layout: a header with the provider logo, its status and its agents, then the Sign-in, Use, API key and Runtime sections. Each action, such as Reconnect, Update and Disconnect, has an icon, as in Settings. The API key opens on its own page.
- The sign-in page and the custom provider, custom agent and MCP server pages also have an icon on each action, such as Open sign-in page, Cancel, Add and Remove.
- The Models page of a provider shows the selected models in their own section, above the other models. Select all, Deselect all and Reset to default are in the menu at the top right.
- The provider page shows if the server runs the CLI that you installed or the one that OpenBot downloaded. The Disconnect question names the agents that stop until you sign in again.
- Channel info is shorter. The Agents row opens a list of the server's agents with a search and a menu to select or deselect all. The Lead agent row has a menu to choose the lead.
- An owner or admin can delete an agent from the end of Agent info.
- Consecutive routine markers in a chat, such as updated, completed or failed routines, now show as one closed row with a count. Tap the row to show or hide each marker. A routine that is running or needs attention keeps a row of its own. To show the markers open, turn off Collapse routine activity in Settings > Appearance.
Fixed
- The number on an agent in the chat list now counts only the unread messages of its chat. Before, it also counted the messages of its threads, such as a routine's thread, so it grew with each routine run and opening the chat did not clear it. Unread messages in threads now show as a badge with no number.
- A turn that ends without an answer, for example one that you stop or that a restart interrupts, now shows its steps in a row of its own in an agent chat, a thread and a channel. In an agent chat and a thread, tap the row to open the steps. Before, its thinking was not shown after the turn ended, and a chat whose newest messages were only that thinking showed no rows, also after Load older messages.
- On Android, you can now share an audio file, a video, an email or a file of another type, such as a Garmin
.fitactivity, from another app to an agent. Before, the OpenBot share target showed only for text, images and documents when you shared one file (#6583). - With large text, a settings row with a menu value, such as Reasoning on an agent's Model page, no longer flickers after you change its value.
- You can now import a Grok Bot export of more than 100 MB into a server from your phone. The app sends the export in parts. The server must be on the new OpenBot version.
- Messages no longer move while you scroll up through older messages of the same day.
- A tap on a notification of a thread opens that thread, and so does a tap on the Live Activity while it shows the work, a question or an approval of a thread. Before, both opened the main chat of the agent.
- A tap on the expanded Live Activity in the Dynamic Island that shows one agent opens the chat of that agent. Before, the app opened on the screen that it had.
- When OpenBot takes a fix back, the Android app now shows A new OpenBot is ready, as the iPhone app does. Before, it went back to the earlier version at its next start with no message.
