- 🚫 TUI orchestrators no longer receive unsolicited updates they never asked for.
v2.8.32
Features
- 🪟 Either sidebar can now expand to fill most of the window — it gently pushes the other aside, then tucks it away if it needs the space.
Fixes

v2.8.29
Features
- 🧭 Try the experimental Coordinator to manage agent teams across a project or all local projects from a persistent conversation. Enable it in Settings → Agents → Advanced; it is off by default.
- 🎛️ Search and favorite models with shared controls in GUI team-lead and worker panes. Model and effort changes apply to the next turn without interrupting the current response.

Features
- Group and Ungroup from context menus and explorer
Fixes

- Install native ARM64 per-machine builds under Program Files, not (x86)
- A restored note takes its file body instead of clobbering it
- Auto-select the visitor's architecture on the download cards
v2.8.20
Features
- 🖼️ Images returned by tools appear directly in the transcript instead of a wall of raw base64 text — no copying or decoding needed to see what the tool produced
Fixes
- 🪟 The Windows installer is verified before it runs, so a corrupted download fails loudly rather than quietly installing a broken copy
- 🗂️ Tabs you had open are restored when the app relaunches after an update
- 📐 Off-canvas pane thumbnails now scale to fill their tile correctly instead of appearing at the wrong size
Improvements
- ⚡ Pressing the pan modifier no longer redraws the whole canvas, so switching between pan and select stays snappy even on large workspaces
v2.8.19
Features
- ✨ Notes always show the newest version of their file. When an agent rewrites a note you have open, the note updates in place with no warning banner to dismiss
- ↩️ If a file change lands while you are mid-edit, a small Restore toast appears inside the note and brings your typing back with one click. It waits while the note is on a hidden tab, so it never expires unseen
- 🗑️ Deleting a note file is now how an agent removes a note: the pane closes by itself, and undo brings it back with its content
Fixes
- 🪟 Windows updates now repair missing or stale AgentGrid shortcuts, so the app remains launchable instead of leaving an icon that points to a removed executable
- 🚫 The "note changed on disk" and "note file missing" banners are gone, along with the orphan panes they left on the canvas
- 🧹 AgentGrid no longer creates .conflict- copies of notes in your project. A save that lost a race with the file is offered back through the Restore toast instead
- 💾 A note you brought back with undo after its file was deleted keeps its content across a relaunch, and your first edit recreates the file
- 🔒 A save that started before an agent deleted the file can no longer bring the deleted file back
v2.8.18
Fixes
- 🧭 A workspace whose saved layout held an invalid pane or camera coordinate now opens with those values repaired instead of refusing to load and quarantining the file
- 🛡️ Saving never writes an invalid coordinate again: pane positions and sizes, the camera, archived containers, and live sync updates are checked and repaired before they leave the app
- 📐 Reorganize, arrow-key nudging, resizing at extreme zoom, and agent-driven layout can no longer poison a pane's position with an unusable number
Improvements
- 🍎 On macOS, workers that use Apple Events automation now trigger the system permission prompt instead of being silently denied
v2.8.17
Features
- 🗄️ Archive a container and everything under it to clear the canvas without losing work, then restore it later from the new Archived view in the sidebar, which is searchable, grouped by date, and marks whether you or an agent archived it
- 🗑️ Remove a container from the canvas or delete it permanently, with a confirmation step, and the whole subtree goes with it
- 🤖 Optional setting to auto-archive workers that an agent closes instead of removing them, so agent-driven cleanup stays recoverable
- 🧲 Click a group to select its panes and press Ctrl+G to regroup them, and a new Ungroup entry lives in the right-click menu
- ⏬ Long GUI master transcripts now load instantly and window their history, with a scroll-to-latest button whenever you scroll away from the newest turn
Fixes
- 🪟 The Model and effort catalog works in the packaged Windows app, and Claude workers can use current models again after the bundled Claude Code update
- 🛡️ Closing a Grok master pane on Windows no longer deletes the contents of your ~/.grok folders
- 📊 The Claude usage indicator shows real session and weekly percentages again instead of "unavailable" while the usage API is rate limited, and backs off instead of retrying into the limit
- 🖥️ Terminal panes no longer flash once a second while an agent repaints its screen, zooming a terminal keeps your place, the resize handle no longer covers the scrollbar at low canvas zoom, and the wheel scrolls an unfocused transcript instead of panning the canvas
- 📜 Transcript scroll position no longer jumps when turns above the viewport finish measuring
- 🔗 Multiple Cursor lead panes in the same repository no longer overwrite each other's identity, so worker connectors point at the right pane
- ⏳ Aborted or interrupted turns no longer leave tool rows pulsing as pending; they show a static interrupted marker instead
- 🔁 A Claude master pane that scrolls off-canvas and comes back keeps its session instead of waiting forever on a fresh one
- ⌨️ Ctrl+G inside a focused Claude terminal no longer opens Notepad
- 🧰 On Windows, a broken CLI install now names the exact missing file, Grok is found at its Windows install path, and cmd.exe is never treated as an agent CLI
Improvements
- ⚡ Typing stays responsive while workers stream: status updates now re-render only the affected group instead of the whole app
v2.8.16
Fixes
- 🔗 Right-click to connect panes works again — a core workflow that had quietly broken is fully restored
- 📝 Notes edited by an agent no longer get stuck showing old text — a pane that still matches its file heals itself instead of hiding behind a stale-content banner
- 🪟 Closing a torn-out window no longer leaves a ghost tab behind in the window it came from
- 🖼️ Images pasted into a GUI master pane now reach the agent and stay visible in the transcript
Features
- ⌨️ Nudge and pan the canvas with arrow keys for precise, mouse-free positioning — hold Shift for a bigger jump
v2.8.15
Features
- 🪟 Multi-window support — open your workspace across several windows, tear tabs out into their own, and drag them back. Panes keep running through the move.
- ✨ Master agents can render as a GUI pane instead of a terminal — experimental, off by default under Settings → Agents → Master rendering → GUI. The first step away from the TUI.
Fixes
- 🔗 When an agent connects itself to panes, the connector lines now draw immediately on the canvas — previously the connection was recorded but nothing appeared until a full reload, making agents look disconnected when they were not.
- 💾 Agent connections now survive restarts instead of silently resetting to none.
- 🏷️ Panes renamed by an agent, and note colors and titles set by an agent, now persist across app relaunches instead of reverting.
- 🖼️ Images placed on the canvas by an agent now persist across restarts like user-dropped images, and keep their connection to the agent that placed them.
Improvements
- 🔒 Agent connection requests are now validated against the master's own project, so an agent can only connect to panes it can legitimately see — including on case-sensitive filesystems.
- 🛟 A connection request that arrives while the canvas is mid-save is refused safely with a retry hint instead of being silently dropped.
v2.8.14
Fixes
- 🐛 Closing a project tab and reopening it no longer wipes your worker panes back to "start a session" — every worker comes back with its transcript intact and follow-ups resume the same conversation.
- 🐛 Agents asking to create a note pane no longer fail with "master has no project directory" — the note is created, lands in `.agent-grid/notes/`, and stays visually connected to the agent that made it.
- 🐛 Agent canvas tools (`get_my_layout`, `move_pane`, `rename_pane`, `arrange_team`) no longer answer "Master pane not on canvas yet" — agents can see and arrange their own panes again.
- 🐛 Reading a worker pane that hasn't been opened since a restart now returns its real conversation instead of an empty transcript.
- 🐛 Agent-created image panes resolve their file paths against the right project folder.
Improvements
- 🛟 If a worker's session recovery fails, the pane stays usable: your typed text is preserved and prompts fall back to starting fresh instead of being silently swallowed.
- 🔒 Canvas geometry requests from agents are routed to the process that owns the canvas, with the same authenticated vouching model as terminal and browser tools.
v2.8.13
Features
- 📝 Every canvas note is backed by a `.md` file in your project's `.agent-grid/notes/` folder — greppable, versionable, and editable by any tool. Drop a markdown file (even an empty one) onto the canvas and it becomes a note; write one into the folder and it appears.
- 🔄 Edits flow both ways: change the file and the open note updates live; type in the note and it saves to the file on pause, blur, or close.
- 🎨 Agents can now set a note's color and title, and edit its contents through the file — notes they create stay visually connected to them.
- 🛟 Conflicting edits are never silently merged or lost: the losing version is preserved in a sibling `.conflict-` file and the note shows a banner naming it.
Fixes
- 🐛 An agent changing a note's color no longer sends the note into a color-flickering loop that could freeze the canvas.
- 🐛 Materialized notes now open next to your working area instead of at the far corner of the canvas.
- 🧹 The `notes-inbox/` folder is retired — write markdown straight into `notes/` instead.
Improvements
- 🔒 Note file access is strictly contained to the project's notes folder, with size caps on every write path, and diagram rendering in reader mode is sandboxed more tightly.
v2.8.12
Fixes
- 🃏 The worker role card no longer renders a blank description when a master sends invisible characters, and an empty project system prompt is shown as "None" instead of being flagged as malformed.
- 🛡️ `create_role` now rejects a request with a malformed tool list, an empty model, or an invalid turn or budget limit instead of silently writing a role with fewer restrictions and reporting success.
- ⚠️ `resume_worker` now warns when a role description was too long to keep, matching `spawn_worker`.
v2.8.11
Features
- 🔵 A new "Include for Workers" setting under Settings, Agents gives workers the same unread dot masters have: a worker that finishes a turn shows the dot and counts into the tab bubble until you open its pane.
- 📟 Usage from remote devices now shows in the title-bar indicator alongside your local usage.
- 🎨 Custom device colors now adapt to the active theme instead of clashing with it.
Fixes
- 🤖 Fix logout issues with Grok masters/workers and stuck usage
- ⌨️ Shift+Enter now always follows each agent's own newline behavior, including during the first moments after a pane opens.
- 👻 Daemon now properly shuts down when app is terminated
Improvements
- 🎚️ Settings toggles are now switches with a clear on state, aligned in one column, and the Shift+Enter compatibility setting is gone since it no longer did anything useful.
v2.8.10
Features
- 🤖 Model and effort aware chips now work reliably across harnesses
- 🔗 Codex workers connect more reliably — AgentGrid reads the session ID directly from Codex instead of guessing it.
- 🔍 A new scale setting lets you resize the app to fit your screen and workflow.
- 🛠️ A new `create_role` MCP tool lets you define roles programmatically; `list_roles` now marks where each role came from.
- 💾 The app saves your window position and size and restores them every time you launch.
- 🪟 A Windows 11 ARM build is now available.
Fixes
- 🟠 The orange activity dot is restored and the unread count stays alongside it.
Improvements
- 📐 The main render is split into measured spans, making it easier to spot where time is spent.
v2.8.9
Features
- 🔎 Click a worker's role chip to read what it is allowed to do. Masters can write a short description when they invent a role, so a label like "devops engineer" is not a dead end.
- 📬 Finished is no longer a ten-minute timer. Masters stay unread until you open them; workers stay working or idle.
- 🌳 Explorer parents pick up descendant activity, so a group row still shows that a child is working when you are zoomed out.
Fixes
- 🟠 A running worker's header has one activity signal. The extra bare status dot next to the pill is gone.
- 🧹 The "managed" pill is gone. The canvas connector and explorer nesting already say who the parent is.
Improvements
- 🏷️ Dev instances show a prefix-first name in the macOS app switcher, so two checkouts no longer look identical when you alt-tab.
v2.8.8
Features
- Configurable idle shutdown (--idle-shutdown-ms, 0 disables)
- Opt-in loopback peers for remote devices (--allow-local-forward)
- Retire legacy admin pages, add profile navigation
- User-selectable working, finished, and terminal colors
- Dark-mode sign-in handoff pages
- Pane focus history on Alt+Arrow + Tab/Escape content focus
- Agent_task_completed, agent_spawned, workspace_created
Fixes
- Make desktop retries recover safely
- Time out the lifetime telemetry probe
- Audit every PII-exposing MCP read
- Accessible muted text on chrome and card surfaces
- Make per-user telemetry queries complete and honestly windowed
- GSC OIDC token via platform request header
- Pill reads working… while a turn runs
- Security hardening (read-only prod reads, TLS, MCP token expiry)
Improvements
- Load each theater's data only when it renders
- Retention and daily rollup for metric ticks
- Cache metric reads, invalidate hard on every sync tick
- Batched metric reads, streamed user detail, bounded pool
v2.8.7
Features
- 🐧 Native aarch64 (arm64) Linux builds — AgentGrid now runs without emulation on arm64 machines.
- 🎛️ Configure effort per worker, so you can dial reasoning up for hard tasks and down for cheap mechanical passes.
- ⏱️ In-progress worker turns show a live elapsed timer, so you can see at a glance how long something has been running.
- 🌙 Background-daemon toggle in Settings → Advanced.
Fixes
- 🔁 Resuming a Codex session no longer fails with "thread already has an active writer".
- 💤 A worker's working/idle state now survives the pane being unmounted, so returning to a pane shows its real status.
- 🖱️ The spawn menu's active row no longer jitters horizontally as you move the mouse across it.
Improvements
- 🔄 Updated the bundled agent SDKs.
- 📚 Product docs now carry the full release history.
v2.8.6
Features
- 🚀 Install a harness and log in to it directly inside AgentGrid — no terminal required.
Fixes
- 🖱️ Right-clicking a parked pane placeholder in the sidebar now reliably opens a context menu.
- 📋 The first message you sent to a Codex agent now shows up correctly in the transcript when it was captured as an event.
v2.8.5
Fixes
- ⌨️ **F2 rename now works dependably on every pane** — clicking a pane's header hands the keyboard to that pane, so F2 renames what you see selected instead of silently going to whatever terminal or editor you touched last. Claude, Codex, and OpenCode panes rename properly too.
- 🎯 Clicks near the top edge of a pane's header now register — the invisible resize strip that quietly swallowed them selects the pane like a header click.
- 🖱️ Dragging a multi-selection with a terminal in it no longer lets that terminal grab the keyboard mid-drag, and off-screen terminals no longer steal focus as the canvas pans.
- 🔁 Codex panes no longer retry empty turns when a reply closes without a visible summary.
- 🐛 macOS updates from v2.8.3 now relaunch reliably with existing tabs, themes, settings, authentication, and workspace state intact.
- 🐛 Worker transcripts stay aligned correctly when focused.
- 📊 Usage meters only poll harnesses whose CLIs are actually installed.
- 🎨 The Codex logo keeps its blue accent in dark mode for clearer visual identification.
Features
- 🤝 Masters can spawn workers from any installed AI harness and choose the right model for each role.
- ✏️ Press F2 to rename the selected pane on every platform, including browser, note, code, and worker panes — the right-click menu shows the shortcut, and it stays accurate if you rebind the key.
v2.8.4
Features
- 🤝 Masters can spawn workers from any installed AI harness and choose the right model for each role, making mixed-agent teams easy to assemble from one canvas.
- ✏️ Press F2 to rename the selected pane on every platform, including browser, note, code, and worker panes.
Fixes
- 🐛 Visual fix for worker transcripts when focused
- 🎨 The Codex logo now keeps its blue accent in dark mode for clearer visual identification.
v2.8.3
Features
- 🌤️ Light mode is fully polished and QA'd across every component — colors, contrast, and spacing now look right everywhere, not just in the happy path.
v2.8.2
Improvements
- ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 10x or more speed up on large workspaces, more efficient memory usage and cpu usage. This also avoids crashes due to memory
- 🦾 Improve robustness of saving workspaces to avoid data-loss and corruption in multiple race-condition cases
v2.8.1
Fixes
- 📋 **Ctrl+V now pastes in terminal panes on Windows and Linux** — no more reaching for Ctrl+Shift+V. Text pastes exactly as before; with an image on the clipboard, Agent Grid saves it and pastes the file's path so agent TUIs can pick it up.
- 🖼️ Pasting an image into a Claude Code pane now attaches the actual image — Claude shows `[Image #1]` instead of a file path, with nothing written to disk.
- 🖐️ Holding Ctrl for a global hotkey (like push-to-talk dictation) no longer leaves the canvas stuck in pan mode — pan releases itself the moment Ctrl is genuinely up, on macOS Option-pan too.
- 🛡️ Pasted clipboard text is now delivered bracketed and sanitized on both paste shortcuts, so multi-line content from a webpage can't auto-run in your shell.
Improvements
- 🎨 Every harness now shows its real brand logo, with proper light and dark variants — Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, Devin, Grok, Kimi, opencode, Antigravity, and Pi.
v2.8.0
Features
- 🖐️ **Hold Option to pan the canvas** — drag, middle-click, or scroll from anywhere on the canvas, including over live browser panes. Either Option key works on macOS; on Windows and Linux the pan key is Ctrl, matching what those platforms expect. Space goes back to being ordinary terminal input.
- 🗂️ Add "Collapse all" and "Expand all" to the right-click sidebar menu.
Fixes
- 🔑 Grok workers no longer fail with "Not signed in" — signing in from a Grok master pane now shares those credentials with every worker it spawns.
- 🔍 Zoom now matches platform convention: Cmd+scroll on macOS, Ctrl+scroll on Windows and Linux. Trackpad pinch zooms everywhere.
- 🎙️ Push-to-talk no longer collides with the canvas pan key, and is unbound by default.
- 🐞 Fix right-click menu on the workspace explorer sidebar.
- 🎛️ Keyboard shortcuts now show platform-correct keys (⌥ / ⌘ / ⌃ on macOS instead of Alt / Meta / Ctrl).
Improvements
- ⚡ Updated the underlying Electron runtime (43.3) for the latest stability and security fixes.
v2.7.15
Features
- ⚙️ Choose Auto permission mode directly in agent settings for a faster, lower-friction workflow.
- ✏️ Rename panes from master agents so your canvas stays clear and organized as projects evolve. Try "rename my worker panes" as a prompt to your master pane.
Fixes
- 🧩 Apply Patch tool calls now render as readable diffs instead of raw JSON.
- 🔐 A stuck Google sign-in can now be cancelled and retried instead of remaining on “Waiting for browser…”.
- 🟢 Grok's usage status no longer flickers to signed out during transient authentication checks.
- 📊 Onboarding: Claude Code and Codex usage now shows up on a new machine right after install.
- 🛠️ Onboarding: OpenCode installation failures are surfaced clearly instead of failing silently.
Improvements
- 📁 Worker panes show their working-directory badge, with the full path available on hover.
- 🚀 Installed harnesses are detected once and cached for the session, so the right-click menu opens faster.
- 📋 Onboarding: installation commands for Antigravity, Kimi, and Grok are built in, with clearer setup copy.
v2.7.14
Improvements
- 🔍 Zooming out no longer grinds the canvas to a halt. A workspace with dozens of live panes on screen stays smooth instead of dropping to a slideshow.
- ⚡ Switching between busy tabs is about four times faster, and uses less memory than before rather than more. Recently used tabs stay warm and quietly retire once you have not touched them in a while.
- 🪶 Long agent transcripts are far lighter. The heaviest worker panes now render a small fraction of what they used to, which cuts idle CPU sharply when several agents are working at once. Scrolling stays smooth and search still finds older messages.
- 📜 A pane you have scrolled back through keeps its reading position when you click elsewhere, instead of snapping to the newest message.
Fixes
- 🔄 Workers no longer get stuck showing "running" after they have finished. A failed turn could previously leave a pane wedged until you aborted it by hand.
- 🧹 Closing a worker pane now shuts down its CLI process instead of leaving it running in the background.
- 🚪 Quitting no longer hangs when an agent refuses to stop. Shutdown is time-bounded, and a second quit forces it.
- 🔐 Signing in no longer hangs if the background listener closes before the auth flow finishes.
v2.7.13
Fixes
- 🔑 Sign-in more resilient when token expires and needs to be refreshed
v2.7.12
Fixes
- 🍎 App bundle workspaces now open correctly on macOS instead of being blocked at startup.
- 🔤 Startup commands now launch reliably in UTF-8 locale environments across all platforms.

- 💡 [Theme] Improve light-mode menu colors
v2.7.10
Features
- 📞 A call button now appears on every provider and worker pane so you can dispatch without hunting for it.
- 📂 The canvas remembers which sections you folded per space, and right-click now gives you Fold all / Expand all shortcuts.
- ⌨️ Press ⌘⌥← / ⌘⌥→ to jump between tabs without leaving the keyboard.
Fixes
- 🐛 The context menu stays anchored to where you right-clicked, always shows edit options, and no longer dismisses when you scroll.
- 🐛 The × close button on a pane now reliably wins over the resize handle so you can close panes at the edge without fighting the cursor.
- 🐛 Codex rate-limit windows are now calculated correctly and show you exactly when your next reset is available.
Improvements
- ⚡ Panes that are off-screen are no longer rendered, and surface updates are batched with the animation frame — the canvas stays smooth with lots of panes open.
v2.7.9
Features
- 🔑 You can now reset your password directly from the desktop app without opening a browser.
Fixes
- 🐛 Pasting or copying text with emoji, accents, or other non-ASCII characters no longer comes out garbled.
- 🐛 Right-clicking inside a text field or webview now shows the native edit menu (Cut, Copy, Paste) as expected.
- 🐛 Right-clicking on a pane that isn't in focus now keeps the context menu open so you can actually use it.
v2.7.8
Features
- ⚡ Onboarding: The preflight overlay now includes a one-click button to install a supported CLI without leaving the setup flow.
- 🔧 The Add Pane menu shows whether a supported CLI is installed and lets you install it inline if it isn't.
- 📐 Your canvas position and zoom level are now saved and restored each time you open the app.
- ✅ Onboarding: The preflight check now verifies that at least one supported CLI provider is installed and enabled before you start.
- 🪟 Closing the main window on macOS now hides it instead of quitting, so your session stays alive in the background.
- 📊 Claude usage now shows a weekly limit bar for Fable so you can see how much of your allowance you've used.
- 🎉 New users who are automatically approved now receive a welcome email.
Fixes
- 🐛 Each worker now spawns exactly once, keeping your agent list tidy.

- 🐛 Closing the last tab no longer leaves you with a blank screen — a new active space is created automatically.
- 🐛 Your subscription page now shows the cancellation date when your plan is set to cancel at period end.
- 🐛 The "nearly reached" usage warning no longer overflows outside its popover.
Improvements
- ⚡ Spaces you aren't actively viewing now use less memory, keeping the app snappy.
v2.7.7
Features
- 💳 A new Plan section in Settings lets you view your current plan, upgrade, and manage billing — all without leaving the app.
- 🛒 Subscribing now takes you through Stripe's hosted Checkout, so your payment details stay secure and the flow feels familiar.
- 🖼️ Workers can now drop image files directly onto the canvas to open them as image panes.
- 🔌 You can now connect Codex and other capable agents through Agent Grid's MCP integration.
- 🖱️ Resize handles on the canvas now hit-test correctly at any zoom level, so grabbing a pane edge works whether you're zoomed in or out.
- ⏱️ Agent Grid now tracks how long you actively use the app each day, including time right up to when you close it.
Fixes
- 🐛 Drag gestures on the canvas no longer break when a terminal or webview pane temporarily steals pointer focus.
- 🐛 The back, forward, and refresh buttons in browser panes now respond to clicks reliably on macOS.
- 🐛 CLI agents, folder labels, media, and pane interactions now behave more reliably.
v2.7.6
Features
- 🎯 Zooming in or out now centers on your current selection, so your focus stays exactly where you expect.
- 🗂️ You can now choose how long Agent Grid holds on to your screenshots before automatically clearing them.
- ⚠️ Unverified email addresses are now flagged in the approvals list and on user detail pages, so nothing slips past without notice.
- 🔗 Version headings in the changelog are now clickable permalink anchors — share a link directly to any specific release.
Fixes
- 🐛 Oversized images are automatically scaled down before being sent to Claude, so large screenshots no longer cause errors.
- 🐛 Capturing screenshots is now smoother and more dependable.
- 🐛 Verifying your email now signs you in immediately and drops you straight to the download page — no extra steps.
- 🐛 Ending a session mid-turn no longer discards your conversation summary.
v2.7.5
Improvements

- 🐛 Logos no longer flash as empty boxes and usage pills now populate correctly on first paint.
v2.7.2
Features
- 📊 A live token and rate-limit usage indicator now shows consumption across all your connected providers — no more guessing how much headroom you have.
- 🔍 Canvas gets its first filter toolbar: narrow by type, status, or date, and everything that doesn't match softly dims so you can focus on what matters.

Fixes
- 🐛 Agents now start and display correctly on their first turn.
- 🐛 Terminal session logs are properly cleaned up after each run.

- 🐛 Panes you've multi-selected now show as highlighted in the workspace explorer so you always know what's in your selection.
v2.6.0
Features
- ✨ Work across your devices: share a project from one computer running Agent Grid and open it on another. Your panes, terminals, notes, titles, and layout stay in sync both ways, live.
- ✨ Pick up a running session anywhere: when you open a shared project on a second device, in-progress Claude and terminal panes come across with their full screen intact — keep going right where you left off.
- ✨ Pair devices in a couple of taps: mark a project as shared, pair the other device, and it shows up ready to connect.
Improvements
- ⚡ Shared-project tabs now show a share icon instead of a small dot, so you can tell at a glance which projects are live with your other devices.
Fixes
- 🐛 Voice dictation now types into the correct terminal when the same project is open on two devices at once.
v2.5.15
Features
- 🖥️ Workers can now open terminal panes right on your canvas — no more hunting through hidden tabs.
- 📱 Round 2 of mobile polish lands: all open mobile improvements are bundled and ready for TestFlight.
- 👆 Long-press anywhere on the canvas to bring up the spawn menu — no toolbar required.
- 🖼️ Attach images to Claude worker panes directly from your phone.
- ↩️ Terminal, antigravity, and browser panes are now undoable — Cmd+Z has you covered if you close one by accident.
- 🔍 Search your panes by keyword and narrow results with quick filters.
- 🔗 Panes can now be associated with a master so canvas-aware agents always know their context.
Fixes
- 🔬 The canvas no longer snaps to an oddly zoomed state when you switch tabs — the 2% zoom floor is applied correctly on load.
- 📐 The spawn menu stays inside the window instead of spilling off the edge of the screen.
- ↩️ Undoing a closed master pane brings it back together with all its workers intact.
v2.5.14

- ⌨️ Press **Cmd+1–9** to drop a pane by type — and the spawn menu now shows each shortcut next to its item.
- 🧬 **Duplicate** now works on any pane, not just the master — fork a terminal or agent in one click.
v2.5.13
Features
- ♻️ Agent panes that exit unexpectedly now recover on their own — if a Claude or Codex process crashes, gets OOM-killed, or quits, Agent Grid resumes the session in place instead of leaving a dead pane on the canvas.
v2.5.12
Improvements
- 🧰 Maintenance release to keep macOS, Windows, and Linux on a matching version — no app-facing changes in this build.
v2.5.11
Features
- 🪟 🐧 Agent Grid is now available on **Windows and Linux**, alongside macOS.
Fixes
- 🐛 Auto-update on macOS now completes the install and relaunches into the new version after "Install and restart" — earlier builds stopped the crash but could leave the update staged without applying it.
v2.5.10
Improvements
- ⚡ Maintenance release — same macOS auto-update fix as 2.5.9, with behind-the-scenes release-pipeline reliability improvements.
v2.5.9
Fixes
- 🐛 Fixed the macOS auto-update crash where clicking "Install and restart" quit unexpectedly and relaunched the old version instead of updating. Updates now apply cleanly, even with agents and terminals running.
v2.5.8
Improvements
- ⚡ Added anonymous, opt-out usage and crash analytics so we can spot problems and prioritize fixes faster. You can turn it off anytime in Settings.
v2.5.7
Fixes
- 🐛 Fixed a crash on launch that could stop Agent Grid from opening after updating. The app now starts reliably even when analytics aren't configured.
v2.5.6
Fixes
- 🐛 Auto-update no longer crashes on relaunch. macOS was carrying the original download's quarantine flag onto every updated bundle, which blocked a helper process the terminal panes depend on. Agent Grid now clears that flag before anything else runs at startup.
v2.5.5
Fixes
- 🐛 Auto-update no longer crashes on relaunch for users whose original install came from a browser download.
v2.5.4
Features
- 🖼️ Drag images and videos straight from Finder onto the canvas — they become first-class panes.
- ✏️ Rename any git or automation pane.
- 🤖 Claude and Codex master panes auto-rename themselves from your first prompt, so the canvas reads like a table of contents.
- 💾 Settings now save as you change them — the Save button is gone.
- ⌨️ Cmd+K clears the visible viewport in terminal panes.
Improvements
- 🎯 Spawning a new pane now finds an empty spot near the cursor instead of stacking on top of an existing one.
- 🌐 The download page reflects the latest desktop version automatically — no more stale links between releases.
v2.5.3
Features
- 🔄 In-app auto-updates — Agent Grid now downloads new versions in the background and shows an "Update ready" banner when one's staged. Pick "Restart when finished" and the update waits for your Claude sessions to complete before installing.
- ⚙️ New "Updates" panel in Settings — check for updates manually and see the current install status.
- 📁 "New Folder" button in the project picker — create a project directory without leaving the dialog.
Fixes
- 🐛 The renderer now auto-reloads after a crash instead of leaving you with a black screen.
v2.5.2
Features
- ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts settings — discover every shortcut and rebind them to taste.
- 🍴 Duplicate any Claude or Codex pane — forks the session so you can branch a conversation.
Fixes
- 🐛 Large workspaces no longer crash on open. Transcripts now load lazily and stay memory-bounded, so a canvas with hundreds of panes opens fast and stays stable.
- 🐛 Workers in paths containing a "." now restore their full transcript instead of showing just the initial prompt.
- 🐛 Pane content stays scrollable when a single pane is selected.
- 🐛 Mobile: viewport position persists, title-pane cleanup, clearer project subtext, and button-visibility fixes.
v2.2.9
Features
- ✨ Voice picker — pick the voice that calls you back during a voice call.
- ⌨️ Toggle the sidebar from anywhere with Cmd+/ (Ctrl+/ on Windows and Linux).
- 🚀 Automated release pipeline — new builds now ship faster and more consistently.
Fixes
