Slashspace releases version 4.1 of its branching AI canvas desktop app

Slashspace, the AI canvas app formerly known as RabbitHoles AI, released version 4.1 of its desktop app with canvas search, node menus, text node mentions and an install size cut from about 2 GB to 380 MB.

Slashspace, a visual workspace for artificial intelligence (AI) operated by Lokus LLC, released version 4.1 of its desktop application on October 20, 2026, for macOS, Windows and Linux. The update adds search across the canvas, right click menus for individual nodes, mentions between notes and a smaller installation. The release follows version 4.0, published on October 14, 2026, and continues the development of the product formerly known as RabbitHoles AI. Slashspace is built for researchers, students, marketers, founders and business owners whose work with AI does not fit into a single chat thread.

What Slashspace does

Slashspace places AI conversations on an infinite canvas instead of in a linear chat window. Each reply can become the starting point for a new branch, so a user can follow a side question without losing the main conversation. PDF documents, YouTube videos, web pages and notes can be connected to a chat as context, and the chat reads the full sources. Users can ask several models, such as Claude, GPT, Gemini and locally run models, the same question and view the answers side by side.

An orchestrator mode accepts a goal, plans the work, creates and connects nodes on the canvas and assigns parts of the task to subagents before collecting the results. The app also connects to tools such as Notion, GitHub and Gmail through Composio and MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard for linking AI applications to outside tools and data.

What changed in version 4.1

The full list of changes is published in the Slashspace desktop changelog. The main updates include:

• Canvas search. Cmd+F on Mac, or Ctrl+F on Windows and Linux, searches the text in every node, highlights all matches and moves the view to each result.

• Node menus. A right click on a node opens actions such as zoom, duplicate, copy, delete and new branch. A right click inside a selection offers align, distribute, group and stack.

• Movable side view. The side panel can be docked on either side of the window and expanded further.

• Faster canvas loading. Nodes appear outward from the center as a canvas opens, so the first content shows sooner.

• Mentions in text nodes. Typing @ inserts a link to another node, which can be previewed or opened directly.

• Page layouts. Text nodes can be set to a portrait page or a US Letter page, and overflowing text can be split into new pages with its formatting kept.

• Questions about a selection. Selected text in a reply can be questioned in a small popover, which can be discarded or saved as a branch.

• Smaller app. The application now takes about 380 MB on disk instead of 2 GB, and updates download about a quarter as much data.
