Aiola v2.1.1: Usage at a glance
Usage at a glance; Settings moved to the icon column; Claude Fable 5.2.
What's New
- Usage at a glance: A Usage button at the bottom of the left icon column opens a compact view of every provider's limits, with the same bars as Settings → Usage. It loads when you open it, scrolls inside itself, and reuses what the Usage page already fetched.
- Settings moved to the icon column: Settings now sits at the bottom of the left icon column. Its menu holds Suggest a feature, Report a problem, your pinned pages, Help and Settings, so the chat list uses the full height of the sidebar. Workspace icons scroll on their own when you have many, and never cover Usage or Settings. Settings → Appearance shows the new layout.
- Claude Fable 5.2: The newest Fable model is available for Claude Code 2.1.290 and later.
Windows
- Code reads correctly: The file viewer and diffs no longer swap letters for symbols ("ª" for "a", "°" for "o") or drop letters in the Windows code font.
- Cursor usage: Usage limits now show for the Cursor account you signed in with inside Aiola, without the Cursor CLI.
- Antigravity install: Installing Google's agent copes with Windows file locks, says what failed if it does, and no longer reports "already running" when you press Install twice.
- Provider updates: Grok updates through npm, and OpenCode shows the right upgrade command.
- Claude usage: The usage card finds Claude Code even when it isn't on PATH, and shows your plan name once.
- Open in File Explorer: Files and folders whose names contain characters such as & or % open in File Explorer.
- Turn changes on a fresh install: Each turn's changes are recorded even when git has no user name or email set.
Improvements
- Allow for session in Codex: Allowing a command for the session now covers that same command in that folder. A different command asks again.
- Project MCP servers: Claude chats load the MCP servers from a project's .mcp.json once you have approved them in Claude Code, the same as in the terminal. Aiola's own MCP server always loads.
- Automations and tasks from a repository: Automations and tasks that arrive with a cloned or pulled repository start after you save them once in Aiola. The ones you already had keep running.
- Generate summary: Thread summaries are written without running any tools.
- Revoked phones: A phone you revoke in Connections stops loading from that desktop straight away.
- Tooltips: Long tooltips such as file paths wrap inside the tooltip.
