Faster chat responses, improved performance and dozens of quality-of-life improvements

This update brings significant performance improvements throughout Anara, with dramatically faster chat response times that many of you have been asking for.

We also refined dozens of small interactions to make your daily workflow smoother—from drag-and-drop document organization to better PDF viewing and enhanced citation management. Plus, we updated to the latest Claude Sonnet 4.5 and reintroduced GPT-4.1.

Improvements

• Quickly add documents to folders by dragging the title from the navigation bar, eliminating the need to return to table view.
• Improved button loading states by removing the opacity effect and displaying only a centered spinner for clearer visual feedback.
• Double-clicking a folder title to rename now automatically selects all text in the field, making it faster to replace names completely.
• Updated to Claude Sonnet 4.5 (latest version) for improved response quality and performance.
• Improved visibility of highlights by making the outer highlight darker, especially when no inner highlight is present.
• Improved spacing below headings in chat and notes for better visual hierarchy and readability.
• Added support for Traditional Chinese language.
• Improved LaTeX support for mathematical equations and formulas in Anara chat, enabling proper formatting for STEM content.
• Reintroduced GPT-4.1 as a model option, which we recommend over GPT-5 for most use cases due to ongoing speed issues with partner model providers.
• PDF viewer now remembers your last viewed page and automatically returns to it when you reopen a document.
• Pricing now automatically displays in your local currency with updated plan options and clearer indicators showing which features require Pro or Team subscriptions.
• Deep search in chat with folder now displays real-time progress, showing which files are being analyzed so you know the search is actively working through your content.
• Enhanced code syntax highlighting reliability with automatic error reporting when highlighting fails, ensuring a more stable editing experience.
• The editor toolbar can now be dragged and snapped to the top or bottom of the editor for a more flexible workspace layout.
• Improved the responsiveness when resizing panels, eliminating lag for a smoother workspace customization experience.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where text could not be selected in table popovers due to conflicting drag interactions.
• Fixed an issue where adding multiple citations to the same sentence would replace the existing citation instead of adding a new one.
