Phi 1.3.0

Phi Browser v1.3.0 is a fairly serious release, annoying as that phrase sounds.

Phi now has experimental local LLM support, which means you can start bringing your own model into the browser instead of sending every tiny thought-cloud into, well, the cloud. It is early, probably a bit weird in places, but it is an important step toward making Phi more private, more flexible, and less dependent on rented intelligence.

Phi Agent now supports Skills, giving agents a better way to run structured, reusable workflows instead of just confidently winging it like an intern with a Notion template and unresolved ambition.

We also added custom theme colors, because apparently human beings enjoy having opinions about rectangles. Now Phi can look a bit more like yours, rather than something dressed by a committee during a mild productivity crisis.

The New Tab Page and Memory bits got a proper round of attention too: suggestions, widgets, artifacts, a refreshed Memory Galaxy, and full-text conversation search. Basically, the parts of Phi that remember things and quietly try to be useful are now less ghostly and more useful.

We also fixed the usual spiritually irritating little things: tab restore, pinned tabs, loading states, greetings, favicons, context menus, and some visual polish.

v1.3.0 is still Phi Browser. Just more local, more personal, and slightly better at doing the thing you asked it to do.
