After months of development and user feedback, we're excited to announce Collate 1.5 - the biggest update yet that transforms your Mac into an AI powerhouse.
What's New
Multi-Document Conversations
Chat with multiple PDFs simultaneously. Ask "What are the differences between these methodologies?" and get insights woven together from all documents with precise citations.
Combined Folder View
Put related PDFs in a folder and Collate presents them as one continuous document. Read, summarize, and chat across the whole set - perfect for briefing packs, literature reviews, or organizing related documents.
Smart Citations & Auto-Highlights
Every answer includes clickable citations linking to exact passages. Collate automatically highlights referenced text so you can see exactly what contributed to each answer.
Persistent Chat History
Conversations are automatically saved. Return to any PDF weeks later and your entire chat history is waiting for you.
Intel Mac Optimizations
Significant performance improvements and enhanced text rendering specifically for Intel Macs.
Why These Updates Matter
Multi-Document Problem Solved: Information doesn't exist in isolation. Now you can think across documents, not just within them.
Citation Nightmare Ended: Never lose track of sources again. Every insight links directly to its origin.
Context Preserved: Persistent conversations mean continuous thinking without losing your thread.
Private by Design
With Local AI, summaries, chat, and search run entirely on-device. Your documents are indexed locally and never uploaded. Once a model is downloaded, you can keep working without an internet connection. Sharing a link is always an explicit choice - and it uploads only the content you chose to share.
