dia Release Notes

Dia v1.10.0

Dia v1.10.0 is all about tying up loose ends—from long‑requested support, to polish on new features, to fixes that keep day‑to‑day work feeling smooth. Here's what's new:

What's new

• Chromium Side Panel support. Extensions that use the Chromium Side Panel can now render their side-panel UI directly in Dia.

• Tab groups get easier to scan and name. New tab groups derive their color from the site's favicon or URL bar theme color, and when you create a new group with tabs on top, Dia now drops you straight into renaming so you can label projects while you're in the flow.

• Google Sheets support in Chat. The Assistant can now see beyond the first visible slice of a sheet—reading across all sheets and rows in a document so summaries and analyses capture the full picture.

• Retry without attachments. If a query fails because of a problematic attachment, you can now quickly rerun it without that attachment instead of starting from scratch.

• Ask on Page now opens in new tabs. Links from Ask on Page results now open in a new foreground tab, preserving the original context while you jump into the answer.

• Non‑US keyboard shortcuts, fixed. Keyboard shortcuts like ⌘Z now behave correctly on layouts such as AZERTY and Dvorak, so undo and other core commands work the way you expect across apps.

• Fewer dark‑mode flashes. Notion and Slack now honor their dark backgrounds when you switch tabs, preventing distracting white flashes as you move between workspaces.

• More reliable window controls. A speculative fix addresses rare cases where macOS window traffic lights could appear duplicated after unlocking or moving in and out of fullscreen.

• Faster navigation from history. Back, forward, and reload history entries can be cmd‑ or middle‑clicked to open in a new tab, making it easier to explore alternate paths without losing your place.

• Smarter fullscreen on multi‑display setups. Sites using the Fullscreen API can now target another display, so full‑screen experiences land where you want them.

Thanks for using Dia and for all the shared feedback that shapes these releases.

Dia v1.9.0

Here's what's new:

Stay organized with Tab Groups

Organize your work by project, topic, or client with tab groups. Groups are color‑coded, customizable, easy to scan, and stay put so you can return to your work exactly where you left it.

Meetings that stay in reach

A refreshed calendar experience helps you show up prepared: Dia will automatically create an Active Meeting tab group when you join calls, keep "relevant links" pointing to the right docs and boards, and show live badging on the Calendar icon so you always know how long you have until your next meeting. Logged‑out calendar previews now include a clearer sign‑in prompt and update as soon as you log in.

Smarter tool calling behind the scenes

Dia automatically decides when to reach for tools like Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, or Tabs based on your request, so you can just ask and let the browser handle the wiring.

Create more with shortcuts

We've added support for new wiki, new jira, new form, new meeting, new gist, new Figma and more from the command bar.

Fewer accidental voice triggers

After user reports of voice mode triggering at unwanted moments we've introduced tighter constraints for when it turns on and off.

There was a bug where Resy sometimes would not load correctly

We've fixed that so you can get back to booking your reservations.

Thank you for using Dia!

Please keep the feedback coming.

What's new in Dia v1.8.0

Dia v1.8.0 is filled with simple, team favorite, updates that smooth out daily frictions. Here's what's new:

• Tab renaming. Double‑click any tab to rename it in place.
• Faster, clearer voice input. Voice input gets a refreshed UI plus keyboard shortcuts so it's easier to start dictation from wherever you are.
• More Slack in context. You can now use Slack activity search to see mentions, unreads, and recent workspace activity directly in Dia. It's a quicker way to pull up the details that matter without hunting through channels.
• Create docs without breaking flow. Type "new …" into the Command Bar to spin up a new document, spreadsheet, slide deck, or ticket right from Dia. It's the fast path from idea to artifact.
• Fewer flashes and empty tabs. Closing a tab no longer flashes the background page—Dia simply brings the next site into view. Under the hood, we now protect your last 10 recently used tabs from being proactively discarded (they can still be closed under heavy memory pressure or by extensions).
• Downloads under control. Paused downloads can finally be canceled directly, fixing a long‑standing bug that left them stuck in limbo.
• Meeting PiP fixes. Picture‑in‑Picture for Google Meet behaves more reliably. When you switch around Dia, the PiP window now appears when and where you expect it, so you can move between tabs without losing sight of the conversation.
• Chrome pinned tabs come along. When you import from Chrome, your pinned tabs now arrive in Dia already pinned, so your anchors stay right where you expect them.

Thanks for browsing with Dia. If anything doesn't feel quite right in v1.8.0, tell us—each fix helps keep the browser feeling fast, stable, and ready for real work.

Dia v1.7

Dia v1.7 keeps you in flow with series of ergonomic improvements and bug fixes the team was eager to work on. Here's what's new:

• AppleScript and Raycast integration: AppleScript support lets external apps query windows and tabs or focus them. Use the new Raycast integration to jump to the right Dia tab from your launcher.
• Search Memory, where you need it: Memory Search is now accessible from the Tab Overflow menu, so finding past work happens right in the flow.
• Bookmarks, upgraded search: Bookmarks appear in Command Bar results alongside history, ranked for relevance. Your go‑to links are now faster to reach.
• Tab hover actions: Pin, add to Bookmarks, Split with Tab, or Open Chat directly from tab hover.
• Fewer flashes: Reduced high‑contrast flashes (like sudden whites) when switching or navigating tabs. Transitions feel steadier and easier on the eyes.
• Presented tab indicator: When you're sharing your screen on a call, the tab favicon shows a presentation indicator—clear signaling for what's live.
• Meeting reminder in PiP: Just‑in‑time meeting reminders now live in Picture‑in‑Picture, making placement consistent and movement smooth.

Thanks for using Dia and for the regular feedback that helps us tune the details.

Dia v1.6.0

Dia v1.6.0 brings Slack search, improved voice dictation and more Chat improvements. Here's what's new:

• Search Slack Tool. Search your Slack messages and files directly from Dia to pull up conversations and docs without switching apps.
• Dictate with confidence. Voice mode gets streaming transcription for better accuracy, punctuation, and capitalization.
• Meeting reminders get some polish. A redesigned reminder attaches to your source calendar tab, is movable, and stays visible when you need it. Settings are clearer, too.
• See what the Assistant did. Tool call bylines now show when Dia reads, opens, or closes tabs—always with clear controls.
• Smarter tab attachment suggestions. When attaching context, Dia prioritizes open tabs first, then history/bookmarks, then previous chats—with tie‑breaks by recency and a boost for short queries.
• Fewer false safety errors. Stronger injection detection, better LaTeX parsing, and tightened tool handling.
• Fix to show toast when actions are performed in fullscreen mode.

Thanks for using Dia. If anything feels off, tell us—your feedback helps us keep polishing the details and reducing friction.

Dia v1.5.0

Dia v1.5.0 has your back in a day of back-to-backs—previews to plan, reminders to join, and small touches that keep you on time and in control. Here's what's new:

• Show up on time to meetings with Live Calendar Preview and Just‑in‑Time Reminders. Hover over a Calendar tab to glimpse the rest of your day and jump straight into your next meeting from the preview. Right before a meeting, Dia surfaces a corner reminder with attendees and a direct join link so you're always on time.
• Tabs load smarter. On launch, Dia automatically reloads select recent background tabs based on your device and tab activity. Tab discarding now considers app active time, so tabs won't silently disappear while you're away.
• Split view gets smoother. Larger drop targets appear immediately so it's easier to place splits exactly where you want.
• Drag distractions away. Fully collapsing the sidebar enters Focus Mode so you can hide chrome and stay in flow.
• Find in Page, refreshed. The Find UI is restyled to match Dia's design.
• Chat clarity and speed. When attachments fail to load, Dia shows which tab failed and why, with clearer recovery steps. Memory Search now triggers more often without special phrasing—just ask.
• Core chat behavior is sharper. You'll see Read Links progress in the chain, better image reasoning, more reliable inline code, and fewer stated assumptions. UI polish includes stronger icon contrast, a fixed "Recreate" draft state, and copy tweaks for feedback.
• Better deep reasoning control. Choosing "Skip" falls back to minimal reasoning (not a quick answer) and keeps helpful follow‑up support.

Thanks for being here and using Dia. If something looks off, tell us—we're eager for the feedback.

Dia v1.4.0

Dia v1.4.0 helps you find what you need, keep tabs tidy, and stay in flow. Here's what's new:

Manage tabs with @Tabs

Open and close tabs right from chat. Great for quick clean-ups, closing out your day (and tabs!) and opening all the links for a topic.

Pinned tabs glow‑up

Pinned tabs get a cleaner look and vibrant theme accents on select. Your ride‑or‑die tabs stay put—and you can return a pinned tab to its base URL with ⌘‑Return.

Now you can just ask

With automatic Memory Search Dia searches your memories without having to @-mention the tool. It's profile-specific, so use your work persona (or Outie) as needed.

Split view improvements

Two ways to split: use the nav bar split button or "Open as Split." Choosing Open as Split on the current tab creates a split with a new tab; selecting it on other tabs brings that tab in as a split.

Haptic feedback for tab moves

A subtle nudge when you drag tabs in the strip or side nav—small polish that makes organizing feel right.

iCloud Passkeys support

iCloud‑based passkeys now work in Dia. When a site requests a passkey, Dia queries your iCloud Keychain and prompts you to approve access.

Faster, more resilient browsing

We've implemented HTTP/3 connections behind the scenes to reduce the number of network change errors you encounter with Dia.

Thanks for being here and using Dia. If anything doesn't look right, let us know—your feedback helps us keep dialing down clutter and tuning the feel.

Making a new Skill is as easy as writing a sentence with Dia's new Natural Language Skill Builder! You don't have to write a long, winding prompt or figure out which tool or context to call. All you have to do is ask, and let Dia do the rest.

The Skills builder has been overhauled so that all you need to do is write a simple sentence describing what you want ("help me prioritize my day," "copyedit my Slack post," "set up a weekly check-in"), and Dia assembles the Skill: name and icon, the right tools only when they're needed (e.g., Gmail for drafts, Google Calendar for scheduling), plus a couple quick follow-ups to fit you. You see the steps and approve — clear, in your control, every time.

To get started go to New Tab → Skills → New Skill and launch the Skill builder.

Thanks for updating Dia. Look out for big small updates next week.

Today we're releasing three new Tools to Dia: Gmail, GCal, and Autofill. No more repetitive form filling, calendar searching, invite list scrambling, email rifling. Dia can now create calendar invites, search and draft emails, or fill a form right from Chat.

Gmail

Gmail: Search across your emails, find the right thread, summarize details directly in Chat. Just type @Gmail in any query to search, summarize, or start a reply.

GCal

GCal: Take the mess out of scheduling by searching your calendar, finding times when your team is free, and staging the calendar invite for you. Type @Google Calendar in Chat to set it up without leaving your tab.

Autofill

And thirdly, Autofill: Get a head start filling out empty forms with things like your name, title, company description and even your bio. Type @Autofill in Chat when you hit a page full of boxes. And for extra details, call on Memory Search.

Bookmarks

We've also made it faster and more flexible to work with Bookmarks:

• Save sessions at once: Hold Command to select multiple tabs (or Shift for a full row), then right-click and choose “Add tabs to bookmarks bar.”
• Name folders upfront: When you create a new folder on the Bookmarks page, you’ll be prompted to rename it immediately.
• Quick actions in place: Right-click on a bookmark context-specific actions exactly where you need them.
• Open everything in a folder: ⌥-click or ⌘-click a bookmarks folder to open all tabs at once.
• Open a single bookmark in the background with ⌘-click and in a split tab with ⌥-click.

Thanks for using Dia! If anything doesn't look right, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Dia v1.0.1 release notes

Dia v1.0.1 brings Dia to general availability on macOS! Plus, major upgrades for Skills and Memory.

• Anyone can now download Dia for macOS from diabrowser.com, create an account, and start using Dia immediately—no more waitlist.
• We've revamped the Skill builder: you can now edit Skills in a separate popup window for added ease, and build Skills with distinct steps. Give it a try by opening the "Skills" dropdown below the Command Bar and clicking "New Skill."
• The Command Bar and Skill builder now include a new toolbar for mentioning actions (like Search Memory) and formats (list, table, code, and more).
• You'll notice a shimmer animation when @-mentioning items in the Command Bar for improved visual feedback during prompt creation.
• Search Memory now replaces @History in prompts and Skills, referencing personal context more reliably and intuitively.

This week includes a bump to Chromium 141.0.7390.66, which includes improvements to security, stability, and performance.
