Well, I kept missing ChatGPT desktop app updates and was suprised that the Linux app did not have an update flow built-in. I am sure OpenAI will eventually address this.
Until then, here is a small, unofficial notifier for the ChatGPT desktop app on Linux. The Windows version of the app already has this update-checker feature. It checks the signed OpenAI package repository and reminds you about newer app versions. It never installs an update without your confirmation.
Trimwise is an open-source Python library for selecting the most relevant, verbatim passages from a known source under exact token, word, or character budgets. It preserves source order and returns original character spans for auditability, with lexical, semantic, and hybrid selection modes. Built for RAG, agents, and prompt pipelines, with reproducible benchmarks and a public research artifact.
In agentic workflows, raw command outputs and state recollection after compaction contribute to major token waste. Agents often pull raw terminal output into context even when they only need a few anchors, then pay the same cost again later when compaction forces them to reread files or rerun commands.
CtxSift was built to cut that loop down to two operations: keep only the signal that matters now, then recover it later without rebuilding the whole state trail.
