Wow! They actually added native skinning. Well, blending or whatever but it's so much better than a skin that doesn't match anything. Aim Lite is a step in the right direction, I like it. Is it possible to submit bug reports? I don't see anywhere to do it on their page unless it's hidden right out in the open.

On the bottom of the client click "WTF" and then click Speak your mind!

The only thing this app is missing is Direct Connect. Others can DC with me but I can't actually send them anything, no I'm not confusing DC with file transfer, I know about file transfer and would rather have DC.

That's the exact reason why I don't use this client. If it supported this I would marry it and so much more.

yes, they really need to add direct connect...

and for some reason it doesnt match my theme? what gives?

So direct connect can be added easily as an AIM Widget...you do not have to wait for us to write it, you can write it yourself if you want, using Javascript and Boxely toolkit. You can read more about how to write AIM Widget's here.

I am glad so many people are enjoying LAIM, we are working hard on getting a great client out to everyone, so that means building different client experiences. Some like AIM Pro, others like LAIM, other AIM 6.0, etc. Multiple choice is what we want to give users, not a boolean, yes I will use AIM or no I will not. As more and more custom clients come online, the better choices everyone will have.

BTW, theming is definitely one of the best parts of this client. Check it out if you have not found it already, and as always feedback is appreciated.

Images can be found on my blog.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
