Conduit 2.6 adds Liquid Glass, embeds, channels

Conduit 2.6+ adds iOS Liquid Glass styling, channels, rich embeds, and a rebuilt full-screen sidebar to the Open-WebUI mobile client. The release also tightens performance and points to a bigger migration away from Flutter for a more native-feeling app.

// ANALYSIS

Conduit is starting to feel like the default native shell for Open-WebUI on phones. The Flutter exit is the boldest part of the roadmap: it could remove the last bit of cross-platform jank, but it also creates real execution risk if it slows shipping.

  • Liquid Glass is a clear signal that the app is chasing platform-native credibility, not just feature parity.
  • Channels, notes, and chats in one sidebar make Conduit feel like a fuller workspace for heavy Open-WebUI users.
  • Rich embeds matter on mobile because HTML, Mermaid, and charts are only useful if they render inline cleanly.
  • Proxy auth, custom headers, SSO, and LDAP are the boring-but-critical details that make a self-hosted client work in real deployments.
  • The migration away from Flutter is high-upside and high-risk: worth doing if the team can keep the current app moving.
