Lumi moves onto your desktop and stays there. She walks your taskbar, climbs the window you are typing in, hangs from title bars and naps when nothing happens. Pat her head, turn on focus mode, let her shout your alarms, summon more Lumis, or grab new characters on the Workshop. All hand-drawn.

Press "Save" to apply candidates, counts and order. Use "Summon one selected character" and "Send one away" to add or remove LUMIs on screen right away. Candidates, order and counts are kept for characters from mods that are turned off or waiting to be activated.

■ New Features More “Chat” conversations LUMI characters now have many more new “Chat” conversations with each other. Available in Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Character summoning You can now set summon candidates and the number of characters that appear at startup separately on the “LUMI” tab in Settings. Characters selected in “Choose Character” become summon candidates. Changing the candidates does not affect characters already on screen. Set a “Number at startup” for each character in “Summon characters”, and that many will appear from the next launch. Use “Summon one selected character” to instantly summon one more of the character you want. Broadcast layout On the “Broadcast” tab, you can now bring LUMI and Bongo LUMI into OBS separately and adjust their positions. Use “Copy character source” and “Copy Bongo source” to add each to a different browser source. Choose what the existing address shows in “Default source”. Use “Move characters” and “Move Bongo” to move them pixel by pixel on the broadcast screen, and “Reset positions” to restore them. LUMI's position on the desktop does not change. The “Behaviour” and “Broadcast” tabs now show which behavior settings you are editing (Normal mode/Broadcast mode), and “Open behavior settings” takes you straight there. Restart A “Restart” option has been added to the tray menu and the Settings window so you can restart Little LUMI right away. Select it at any time from the tray menu, just above “Quit”. While mod changes are waiting to be applied, “Restart” also appears at the bottom…

Little LUMI Model 1.2.1 Adds Keyboard Mod Controls and Hand Poses for Super Bongo
Version 1.2.1 of Little LUMI Model, published on 7 September 2026, lands with two headline additions and a substantial sweep of bug corrections.
What changed
New features:
Numeric mod settings can now be adjusted via keyboard — arrow keys move values one step at a time, Page Up/Down move by ten, and Home/End jump to minimum or maximum. Values can also be typed directly into the number field and confirmed with Enter.
The "Little LUMI" appearance in the Workshop "Super Bongo" mod now displays matching hand poses for specific key presses: Q, W, E, R, A, S, D, F, and Space each have a distinct pose. Both the main app and the Super Bongo mod require updating to use this.
Bug fixes include:
LUMI no longer makes repeated small hops after landing on a window edge obscured by another window.
Multi-character LUMI conversations no longer stop after the first line when a Voice pack is in use.
Bongo LUMI no longer reacts as though a key was pressed when the mouse moves or hits a screen edge.
Extra keyboard-typing animations on Bongo LUMI after mouse wheel or button use are resolved.
Broadcast mode now correctly retains manually entered screen sizes across repeated changes, and background colors no longer revert after a restart.
Workshop uploads can now be retried after a failed start.
Plugin cleanup after a failed start no longer leaves functions active or interferes with other plugins.
Taken together, the patch tightens both the modding interface and the desktop-companion behavior that the application is built around.
