Released August 20, 2026 · macOS 14+


Latest

v0.9.3

Released on August 20, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.9.3#

Highlights#

  • Steer an agent while it works — Follow-ups no longer have to wait for the next Chat turn. While Codex or a steering-capable ACP agent is working, hold Option when pressing Return or clicking Send to deliver the message into the live turn. Send normally to queue it instead. If the turn finishes while delivery is in flight, Agentastic keeps the message in the visible queue rather than losing it.
  • Remote terminals get their own fast lane — Live terminal input, resize events, and output now travel over a dedicated SSH/RPC channel, separate from file operations and workspace control traffic. Remote shells stay responsive while other requests are busy, reconnect with the workspace, and fall back cleanly when an older server supports only the shared channel.

Improvements#

  • Zoom Chat and keep it that way — The existing Font Size commands now zoom Chat in editor tabs, the navigator, and the utility area. Chat shares Agent Home's persistent interface scale, so the setting follows you across tabs and relaunches.
  • Plugin calls, named and branded — Chat now turns raw MCP tool identifiers into readable actions such as “Called Create Issue from Linear” and displays the owning plugin's icon. Both canonical MCP names and Codex's dotted tool names receive the same presentation.
  • A quieter workspace Inspector — Empty Browser and Running Servers cards now stay hidden, and the duplicate Sources card is gone, leaving active agents, terminals, servers, and source-control actions easier to scan.

Bug Fixes#

  • Restored chats keep the right profile — Reopened conversations now reproduce their saved model, thinking effort, permission policy, and complete plugin selection, then verify the agent executable and execution target before resuming. Changed settings can no longer silently move an existing conversation onto a different profile.
  • Local agents reappear in cloud-backed repositories — Regular Agent Home now discovers agents on your Mac for local repositories even when their active worktree is cloud-backed. Quick Agent remains scoped to its cloud worktree, and genuinely remote repositories continue discovering agents on the remote host.
  • Closed Home tabs stay closed — Returning to a saved worktree now respects its intentionally empty editor layout instead of reapplying the Default Workspace View and reopening Agent Home.
  • Large pull-request descriptions stay responsive — Large Markdown descriptions no longer create a selection overlay for every text fragment and freeze the PR review layout. Titles, descriptions, and errors remain copyable through their context menus.
  • Remaining app hangs — Moved orphan-process cleanup off the launch path, restored split visibility before the first window layout, cached terminal font fallbacks, and stopped agent command normalization from touching slow volumes. This removes stalls during startup, workspace restoration, terminal layout under memory pressure, and resume detection on unavailable filesystems.

v0.9.2

Released on August 20, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.9.2#

Highlights#

  • See your agent move through the browser — Browser automation is now visible as it happens. A live cursor glides to the target, identifies the agent and its current intent, ripples on clicks, and highlights the active address bar, so you can follow an agent's work without guessing which tab it is controlling. The overlay respects Reduce Motion and stays out of page content and screenshots.
  • Markdown previews, rebuilt for reading — Markdown files now use a focused reading column with balanced SF Pro and Apple Monospace typography, improved spacing across headings, lists, quotes, and tables, underlined links, polished inline code, roomier code blocks, and clearer light and dark colors. Plain Text, Markdown, and Split modes are still one menu away, and both Markdown fonts remain customizable in Settings.
  • Remote Chat keeps working when you disconnect — Agents in remote workspaces now continue their active turn on the server through an SSH drop, app quit, or sleeping laptop. Reconnect or relaunch and Agentastic rejoins the same run, replays the output you missed, and restores the live tab instead of leaving it stuck or restarting the provider.

Improvements#

  • New agent: fx — fx joins Agent Home with Terminal and ACP Chat support, resume, auto-approve, a native icon, and recovery for interrupted turns.
  • Faster paths through Agent Home — Cmd+Return submits and opens the first worktree created by the launch; Option+Return temporarily switches a compatible agent between Chat and Terminal; Cmd+Option+Return does both. The same modifiers work when clicking Send, and both shortcuts can be rebound.
  • Choose how workspaces open — A new Default Workspace View setting under Settings → General lets you start with Agent Home, a Blank Terminal, or the Last State when opening a workspace or switching worktrees.
  • A smarter agent picker — Recently launched agents rise to the top of Agent Home while pinned agents stay first. If no agent is ready, Agent Home now offers a direct path to add one in Settings.
  • Large pastes become attachments — Pasting 10,000 or more lines into Agent Home or Chat now creates a private text attachment, keeping the composer responsive while preserving the exact text for the agent.
  • OpenCode auto-approve — Agent mode can now run OpenCode unattended through its supported permission policy.
  • Cleaner background tasks — Successful hidden result tasks close their temporary Terminal or Chat session automatically; failed tasks stay available for inspection.
  • Clearer web-search activity — Web searches now use a globe icon in both structured Chat and terminal-backed Chat transcripts.

Bug Fixes#

  • Worktree modes stay available — Agent Home now validates the selected repository itself and refreshes as soon as Git responds, so Worktree and Container modes no longer remain greyed out in valid repositories.
  • Large PDFs open without freezing — PDF previews now load asynchronously through Quick Look and skip unnecessary text decoding, avoiding long main-thread stalls on large or complex files.
  • App hangs and stalls — Fixed Sentry-reported stalls around workspace persistence, split-pane animation, deep project-tree restoration, file-icon rendering, browser IPC routing, terminal cleanup, and minimap rendering for extremely long lines.
  • Remote Claude launches — Fixed remote Claude Chat launches failing when an older daemon resolved the claude symlink to a versioned executable name.
  • Hidden terminal hover UI — Link and image previews from a terminal hidden behind Agent Home, Chat, or another tab no longer appear over the visible surface.
  • Agent settings wrap correctly — Long launch arguments and advanced commands now wrap to the current form width instead of keeping a stale, narrow text layout.
  • Create Pull Request task settings — Every Create Pull Request entry point now uses the same configured prompt, model, and execution destination from Settings → Tasks.
  • Cleaner installer window — Hidden DMG support files stay outside Finder's icon layout even when Show Hidden Files is enabled.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.9.1

Released on August 15, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.9.1#

Improvements#

  • Remote Chat attachments — Send image attachments to agents running in remote workspaces.
  • New agent: YOLOP — YOLOP supports both Chat and Terminal mode.
  • Richer jcode agent — Improved tool-call rendering makes jcode activity easier to follow.
  • Agentastic in Chat — The Agentastic agent now supports Chat mode.
  • Permissions take effect immediately — Changing Chat to Full access immediately approves follow-up permission requests instead of waiting for a new turn.
  • A clearer usage readout — The Inspector now labels remaining agent usage more plainly.
  • Better agent discovery — Chat resolves installed providers through their actual executable paths and preserves symlink-based command names.

Bug Fixes#

  • Chats restore reliably — Fixed Claude editor chats and remote Chat sessions failing to recover after a restart or replay failure.
  • Claude background work stays visible — Background agents now remain tracked in Chat instead of disappearing mid-session.
  • Remote setup recovers cleanly — Fixed launcher installation and SSH setup failures leaving remote workspaces stuck.
  • Terminal tasks keep their place — Fixed worktree naming tasks and task agents taking over an unrelated terminal resume.
  • Chat layout holds together — Fixed code-block backgrounds overlapping, links breaking out of code chips, and large prompts freezing when expanded.
  • Splits keep their remaining tab — Dragging one tab out of a split no longer leaves its sibling invisible.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.9.0

Released on August 13, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.9.0#

Highlights#

  • Agentic Tasks — Every agent-powered action now lives in one place. Settings → Tasks is a grid of built-in tasks — create a PR, review a diff, commit, fix conflicts, fix CI, name a worktree, write a commit message — each with its own prompt, model, and destination, alongside any task you write yourself. Pick a Fast and a Thorough model once and every task inherits it, then choose where each runs: the worktree's primary agent, a new terminal, Chat, the utility terminal, or quietly in the background. Custom tasks are global, so they appear in every repository and worktree without being copied into each one, and tasks Agentastic can start on its own stay off until you flip their Auto switch.

  • A quieter Chat transcript — Tool calls collapse to one scannable line that expands on demand, and the files an agent actually edited gather into a single card with line counts, Undo, and Review. Every file reference is a link that opens at the cited line beside the conversation, and finished answers end with a quiet status line: elapsed time, token usage, and copy.

    Agentastic's Chat transcript — tool calls collapsed to one line each, an edited-files card with line counts, Undo, and Review, and clickable file links in the response

  • Approvals you can change mid-conversation — Chat gains Ask for approval, Approve for me, and Full access. Switch modes after a conversation has already started — the choice applies to the next turn instead of interrupting the one in flight, and it survives a restart.

Improvements#

  • Split anything, from anywhere — Cmd+D and Shift+Cmd+D now split editors, chats, browsers, pull requests, and every terminal backend, with Split Up/Down/Left/Right in the tab context menu. Cmd+K opens Quick Agent, Shift+Cmd+K opens Agent Home.
  • Quick Agent hands off its tab — The session you launch replaces the Quick Agent composer instead of opening beside it.
  • Change the model mid-chat — The composer's model and thinking-effort picker is now editable in an open conversation, not just at launch.
  • Quick Tasks on pull requests — The PR toolbar's sparkle button is now a labelled Quick Tasks menu, and its actions dispatch from the worktree you're in.
  • jcode joins the catalog — Available in terminal panes and in Chat through its ACP adapter.
  • Grok reasoning effort — Choose low, medium, or high before launch.
  • Chats that survive — Open chats come back after a force quit, keep their session and model across restarts, and are no longer replaced by an exited terminal when you switch worktrees.
  • Stacked image attachments — Multiple images collapse into one overlapping row that spreads on hover.
  • Retract a queued message — Each queued message has an inline ✕.
  • One tab order — Terminals, chats, browsers, pull requests, and diffs share a single left-to-right order, and new tabs open next to the selected one.
  • Compact agent usage — The Inspector's usage bar moved onto the agent's name row, and disappears when there's nothing to show.
  • Tidier sidebar — The redundant repo badge is gone, and the chain icon now marks only real multi-agent batches.

Bug Fixes#

  • Chat freezes — Fixed the remaining hangs: selection overlays during streaming, the composer/transcript layout cycle, pasting or submitting an image, synchronous Markdown measurement, and clicking the transcript rail. Chat events are throttled to display cadence, streaming updates are incremental, and provider payloads are bounded.
  • Empty transcripts — Fixed blank chats on first open, direct chats that didn't restore after a restart, and interrupted Codex turns coming back with only the original prompt.
  • Codex startup failures — Fixed Chat launching a broken codex through a stale shim path, plugin-backed sessions timing out while rebuilding session history, and a crash when an agent exited mid-prompt.
  • Terminal Chat stuck read-only — Terminal Chat now follows the terminal itself, so restored, remote, and container sessions stay writable.
  • Remote agents not found — Remote Chat providers now resolve through the same shell PATH remote terminals use.
  • Cloud provisioning hang — Fixed a chatty setup script deadlocking provisioning indefinitely.
  • Agents jumping in the sidebar — Agents no longer re-order when their display name is computed, and Cmd+Option+Up/Down follows the order you see.
  • Duplicated agents — Fixed a duplicated agent sharing its original's selection and model in Agent Home.
  • Jump to line — Clicking a File.swift:303 link in Chat now lands on line 303, not the top of the file.
  • Layout fixes — Clipped inline-code borders, file links overlapping code blocks, long PR descriptions running under the next card, letterboxed thumbnails, and empty cards for images that no longer exist.
  • Crash on launch — Fixed a crash restoring workspaces that had chat tabs saved.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.14

Released on August 8, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.14#

Highlights#

  • One Chat, everywhere — Agent Home, editor tabs, the sidebar, and utility panels now render conversations through one shared chat surface, so styling, tool calls, permission cards, and streaming behave identically wherever an agent runs. Chat-first agents are full workspace citizens too: they show up in the Inspector and the sidebar's agent deck, can be a worktree's primary agent, and launching one from a side panel keeps it in that panel instead of jumping to an editor tab.

  • Subscription usage at a glance — Turn on Show Subscription Usage in an agent's Configure sheet and the Inspector's Agents card shows how much of that subscription remains — Claude Code and Codex to start — as a compact quota bar with the 5-hour and weekly windows (58% 5h · 41% wk). Spend-based accounts show dollar amounts instead, usage refreshes itself while visible, and stale data is dimmed and marked rather than presented as current.

Improvements#

  • Chat follows your theme — The chat pane now paints your theme's editor background instead of a fixed system gray, so tinted themes no longer frame an off-color rectangle.
  • The browser does too — Blank tabs, page loads, and the detached browser window take their background from the active theme rather than system materials.

Bug Fixes#

  • Chat freezes — Fixed a hard freeze typesetting giant single-line tool output (minified JSON, base64 blobs), a scroll feedback loop that could lock up the app while transcript rows streamed in, and a freeze when Chat covered a WezTerm-backed terminal.
  • Rows stuck on "Loading message…" — Fixed transcript rows that never swapped the loading placeholder for the agent's actual reply.
  • Full-screen sidebar chrome — The floating sidebar keeps its top margin in full screen, the flat sidebar no longer flashes the wrong color entering it, and navigator and inspector dividers now run cleanly through the toolbar.
  • Stall opening a project — Recent-project bookkeeping moved off the main thread, so opening a workspace no longer hangs the app.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.13

Released on August 7, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.13#

Highlights#

  • Chat with 22 more agents — Agentastic now speaks Agent Client Protocol, so Droid, Goose, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Kiro, Devin and a dozen more open as a readable transcript instead of a terminal — thinking, tool calls, and plans arriving as they happen, permission requests as approval cards you answer in place. With Claude Code and Codex on their native integrations, 24 of the catalog's 52 agents now run as Chat.

  • A rebuilt side-by-side diff — Side-by-side is now one continuous comparison across every changed file, with related lines paired so context stays level, each side wrapping on its own, and the exact edits inside a changed line marked on both halves. Connectors, file banners, and hunk markers keep your place through a long review.

    Agentastic's side-by-side diff viewer comparing a branch against main — paired lines, inline highlights, file banners, and a change counter

  • Clear an agent's attention from the terminal itself — Looking at a pane retires "the agent finished"; anything still waiting on you takes a real engagement — type, click, hover the ring's ✕, or answer in Chat. A worktree's context menu clears every terminal under it at once.

  • One visual language for agent activity — Spinners and progress bars give way to thinking orbs that tell you which kind of waiting you're in: connecting, thinking or streaming, or preparing a worktree or cloud container. Drawn natively for light and dark, and held still when Reduce Motion is on.

Improvements#

  • Two more agents — Muse Code (Meta), with model and reasoning-effort pickers, and Prime Agent (Prime Intellect), which opens straight into Chat. The catalog is now 52.
  • New theme: Highly Irrational — Cobalt-blue surfaces with blush-pink and gold accents, in matching dark and light variants. The bundled set is now 32.
  • Queued messages are editable — Edit, reorder, send next, or delete a queued prompt before the agent sees it.
  • Export a chat — Save a parsed transcript, or a redacted protocol log for filing a provider bug.
  • Prompt attachments stay put — Images now live in one durable location agents can always read.

Bug Fixes#

  • App freezes — Fixed hangs from toolbar rebuilds landing mid-layout, split view re-entering layout on every resize, and terminal cleanup walking the process tree on the main thread.
  • Toolbar kept the old theme — Fixed the window toolbar staying in the previous color until you entered and left fullscreen.
  • Wrapped agent names — Fixed the Agent Home agent picker opening too narrow and breaking names mid-word.
  • Crash on custom extension values — Fixed a crash processing custom values in an extension's environment.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.12

Released on August 3, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.12#

Highlights#

  • Launch any agent straight into Chat — Every agent now has a Terminal or Chat launch preference, so the ones you'd rather read as a conversation open that way from the first prompt instead of a terminal you immediately convert. Terminal stays the default, and switching a Chat to Terminal resumes that exact conversation in a real terminal. Chat is also somewhere you can answer from now: permission requests arrive as approval cards, and an agent's questions as tappable choices.

  • A browsable agent catalog in Settings — Settings → Agents is a grid of tiles instead of a crowded list, each showing at a glance whether an agent is installed, which version, and whether an update is waiting. Pin the ones you actually use and they lead both the grid and the Agent Home picker. CodeBuddy, Zero, and Warp Agent CLI bring the catalog to 50.

  • A durable attention inbox — Agents that need you no longer get lost. Notifications now survive relaunches, panes waiting on you are ringed by urgency, Shift+Cmd+U jumps to the next one, and clicking a notification lands on the exact terminal that raised it — local, container, or remote.

  • Code review, rebuilt — The pull request panel keeps its identity and actions in a sticky header and adapts from full width down to a narrow split, with a changed-file sidebar when there's room. Diff gutters are half as wide with line numbers colored by row, and the comment composer is compact, takes attachments, and can send straight to a live agent.

Improvements#

  • Zen Mode is properly distraction-free — The toolbar, status bar, and a lone tab bar now hide too, and the navigator and inspector become edge-hover overlays. Your exact layout returns on exit.
  • File previews on hover — Hover a file:line in terminal output or a chat to see the code around it, syntax-highlighted, with a diff when the file has uncommitted changes. Toggle under Settings → Terminal → Links & Previews.
  • See the prompt behind any agent — The Inspector's Environment tile now shows the prompt you typed and opens the full launch prompt in a tab.
  • Every agent in a worktree, one row — The sidebar icon tracks that worktree's current primary agent instead of going stale or generic, and the other running agents fan out beside it as a color-tinted deck. Up to three show collapsed, the rest on hover, and each card jumps to that exact session.
  • 31 bundled themes, redrawn — Every variant got its own surface and status identity, familiar palettes were realigned with their references (VS Code Modern, Cursor, Primer, Alucard), and High Contrast was rebuilt for 6:1 contrast throughout. Nothing was removed or renamed.
  • Cleaner agent launches — The injected launch command no longer flashes above the agent's own UI.
  • Auto-copy selected text — A new opt-in toggle under Settings → Terminal, working across all four terminal backends.
  • The primary agent appears instantly — Side chats seed from the worktree's saved primary agent instead of waiting on an executable scan, and remote workspaces detect on the remote host rather than your Mac's PATH.
  • Easier agent picking — Long agent lists scroll instead of stretching offscreen, and clicking a name or icon selects it.
  • Opus 5 in the Claude model picker — Saved Opus selections carry over automatically.

Bug Fixes#

  • Crash on launch — Fixed a crash hitting any workspace whose saved layout contained an agent terminal.
  • Chats that got stuck — Fixed several dead ends: tabs latching after hydration gave up, input quarantined with no way to release it, terminals whose agent had exited refusing Chat, duplicated queued turns, and phantom "working" spinners. Failed handoffs now offer real recovery actions.
  • Scrolling a live transcript — Fixed scrolling up during streaming pulling you back to the bottom.
  • Chat responsiveness — Startup probes, hook persistence, and transcript reads moved off the main thread; streaming and transcript updates are now incremental.
  • Remote terminal freeze — Fixed a feedback loop that froze the app while reviewing a remote terminal.
  • Microscopic terminal text — Fixed terminal font size drifting away from your setting; Cmd-Ctrl-0 resets it to 13 points.
  • Faint text and cursors in WezTerm — Fixed dim text rendering at full brightness and block cursors covering the character underneath.
  • Terminal ↔ Chat handoffs — Input quarantine now lifts only once the previous writer has exited, and remote turns recover from lost responses and slow peers instead of hanging.
  • Queued chat messages — Fixed a queued prompt appearing above the response still streaming.
  • Claude detection in the Inspector — Fixed manually started Claude sessions staying invisible.
  • Clipped agent configuration panel — Fixed the Configure sheet cutting off its version line, Executable Source popup, and example paths.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.11

Released on July 30, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.11#

Highlights#

  • Structured Agent Chat — Agent Chat is now backed by durable, provider-owned sessions with a real structured transcript, instead of scraping the terminal's pixels. Conversations are rebuilt from your agent's own logs — clean Markdown, selectable text, syntax-highlighted code, and grouped tool calls that survive restarts, multiple windows, and remote or cloud runs — and now stream in smoothly as the agent works. You can attach or paste images and files straight into the composer, and move any live session between the raw terminal and Chat with Cmd+I — even a plain claude you started yourself — without losing history or interrupting the agent.

  • Seven new agents — Agentastic now ships 47 built-in agent definitions. This release adds Poolside, MiMo Code, Qoder CLI, OpenClaude, Ante, Oh My Pi, and OpenClaw — each with branded light/dark icons, verified install and launch commands, and, where the CLI supports them, model and thinking selectors right in the Agent Home prompt. Installs now confirm the executable is actually detectable before reporting success, so you won't see a false "Installed" state.

Improvements#

  • Keyboard shortcuts for agent chat — Drive your chats from the keyboard: Cmd+L to focus the chat, Cmd+Shift+N for a new conversation, and Cmd+Ctrl+Up/Down to cycle between them, with Cmd+. (or Esc while streaming) to stop a turn. You can also switch straight to any of your first nine agents with Cmd+Option+1 through 9, and Go Back / Go Forward now use the standard Cmd+Ctrl+Left/Right.
  • Choose where links and pull requests open — Links and file paths in the terminal now respect modifier keys: click to open beside your work in a split, hold Option for a full tab, or hold Cmd to hand off to your default app or browser. Pull requests opened from the Agents sidebar follow the same rule, landing in a split next to your editor.
  • Primary agent per worktree — Each worktree now has a designated primary agent — the one that receives code-review, Design Mode, and pull-request feedback. The first agent you start is chosen automatically; star any terminal (or use "Set as Primary Agent" from its menu) to change it, and the choice is remembered across relaunches so routing no longer shifts as you click between terminals.
  • Dark by default — Fresh installs now launch in the dark appearance instead of following your macOS setting. Your explicit Light, Dark, or System choice is always respected once you set one.
  • Repository Settings — The old "Workspace Settings" is now "Repository Settings" everywhere, since these settings are per-repository. You can open them directly by right-clicking a repository in the Agents sidebar, and they'll target that repository even when another one is active.
  • Search your agents in Settings — The Agents settings page gained a search box: filter the built-in and custom lists by product name (Claude Code) or by what you'd type in a shell (claude), matching across name, id, CLI, and detection commands. The settings window also drops an extra bar behind its title for a cleaner, more native look.
  • Rename agents on remote workspaces — The dev agent rename command now works from Agentastic Remote SSH terminals too. As before, it changes the display name only — never the branch, worktree, or process.
  • Monday.com item picker — The Monday.com picker now searches server-side and stores real item IDs, so large boards return matches instantly and the links you attach resolve to the right item.

Bug Fixes#

  • Responsiveness in large workspaces — Stopped the Agents sidebar re-rendering the entire list every minute while an agent ran, stopped each navigator row re-decoding your full Linear/Sentry issue map on every redraw, and moved indexing, filtering, shell integration, and process-tree work off the UI thread. Terminals now open faster and no longer wait on bookkeeping, local terminals run your shell directly instead of through an extra bridge process, and background cleanup no longer scans the whole process table every minute or leaves Git helper daemons running after you quit — a broad smoothness win in big repositories with many worktrees. App shutdown is also cleaner and no longer disturbs other running Agentastic instances.
  • Agent survives worktree switches — Fixed opening or activating one worktree sometimes killing the agent still running in another; an agent's lease is now a registration rather than a lock that could terminate a live session.
  • Reliable Terminal ↔ Chat handoffs — Made moving a session between the terminal and Chat fail-safe and recoverable: fewer spurious "the terminal agent is no longer available" errors, correct handling when an agent is still on a login or onboarding screen, and no dropped or duplicated messages when ownership passes between windows. The chat composer no longer occasionally erases what you've typed, and long transcripts no longer freeze the app while auto-scrolling.
  • Empty panes after agent teams — Fixed empty leftover panes piling up as Claude Code agent-team teammates finished their work.
  • Built-in Agentastic agent — Fixed the bundled Agentastic agent launching in a headless mode that couldn't edit files or ask for permission (and made the Connections "Run" button appear to hang); it now opens the interactive CLI like every other agent.
  • Design Mode & agent detection — Fixed Design Mode prompts dead-ending with "the agent that opened this browser is no longer available" when a dev-server tab had no agent of its own, fixed the sidebar occasionally showing an exited agent's icon instead of the running one, and made hand-typed agents (typing claude yourself) detect reliably instead of staying invisible.
  • Inspector agent cards — The Agents card now lists only the agents actually running in a worktree — no more advertising six code-review agents that aren't running — each with its real icon, and no longer flags every Claude session as a review or reshuffles rows when you click them.
  • Terminal image previews — Fixed repeated [Image #1] / [Image #2] labels across conversation turns resolving to the wrong image; each pasted image now stays tied to its original file, before and after you press Enter.
  • App hangs on launch — Fixed a stall when opening Agent Home, plugin settings, or the Connections panel caused by credential reads waiting on the macOS Keychain; these now happen off the main thread.
  • Undo crash — Fixed a crash when choosing Edit → Undo after the prompt card or a chat composer had been dismissed.
  • Security & reliability hardening — Fixed ten issues from a repository-wide audit, including bounding local IPC requests and connections, closing a Git remote-name option-injection vector, making process cleanup match exact environments so it can never kill an unrelated process, restricting plugin install/remove to the plugin folder, and handling Unicode paths safely in Open Quickly.
  • Sidebar scrolling — Fixed agent rows showing through underneath the titlebar, tab bar, and sidebar controls while scrolling on macOS 26.
  • Editor activation — Fixed clicking inside an editor's content not always activating that pane.
  • Agents sidebar icon — Fixed the Agents tab icon rendering nearly invisible on a selected row.
  • Tab drag-out filename — Fixed dragging an editor tab out of Agentastic producing a payload named "CodeEdit Tab"; it's now "Agentastic Dev Tab".

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.10

Released on July 21, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.10#

Highlights#

  • Agent Chat panels — Run your agents as chats, right beside your code. Open the new Agent Chat panel in the navigator with Cmd+5 — or use the matching chat in the Utility Area — and start as many parallel agent conversations in the current worktree as you like, each with its own provider, model, thinking level, and run mode. Flip any chat between a clean transcript and the raw terminal without interrupting it, and drag a conversation into the editor to give it a full tab — the live session moves with it, nothing restarts. You can even start or continue these chats from the command line with dev agent task.

  • Start fresh from origin — New worktrees can now start from the exact latest commit on your remote, not from a base branch you may not have pulled in days. Turn on Start from origin in the base picker — or set it as your default under Settings → Workspaces — and every new agent forks from origin/main as it stands right now. A bonus: because each worktree remembers the precise commit it started from, its diff and sidebar stats show only the agent's own work — never the pile of upstream changes you happened to be behind on.

Improvements#

  • Markdown preview — Markdown files got a proper preview. Press Shift+Cmd+V to cycle a .md file through source, rendered preview, and a side-by-side split, and a subtle prompt points the way the first time. The rendered view was redesigned too — a calmer, centered reading column with the system font for prose, crisp fixed-pitch code blocks, and a copy button on hover.
  • Rename your agents — Give any agent a friendlier name: right-click its row in the Agents sidebar and choose Rename. It's display-only — your branch, worktree, and running process keep their real names — and you can rename from the command line too with dev agent rename.
  • Merge-conflict handling in the pull request panel — When a pull request can't merge cleanly, the panel now says so with a clear red Merge Conflict state and lists the conflicting files, for both local and remote repositories. Add to Chat turns the conflict into a ready-to-run prompt for a live agent, or stages it in Quick Agent for you to review first.
  • Agentastic account — Settings → Accounts now lets you sign in to (or create) an Agentastic account, shared across Agentastic.dev, Agentastic.com, and the Agentastic settings app. Sign in once on your Mac and Agentastic picks it up automatically.
  • Live Preview & browser controls — Share Live Preview is now built into the app — open a secure public link to your local dev server with one click, nothing to install. The browser toolbar also gained an options menu for Hard Reload, Clear Cookies, Clear Cache, and Clear Browsing History.
  • Terminal links and previews are now optional — Clicking URLs and file paths to open them, and hovering image paths for a preview, now have on/off switches under Settings → Terminal → Links & Previews. Both stay on by default; turn links off and clicks pass straight through to mouse-aware terminal apps.
  • Sort agents by creation date — The Agents sidebar has a new Sort by Creation Date mode: a stable timeline that buckets and orders worktrees by when they were created and never reshuffles while agents run. The old chronological mode is now clearly named Sort by Recent Activity.
  • Adaptive toolbar and sidebar — The title-bar toolbar now stays aligned with your sidebars as you drag them, folding actions into tidy overflow menus when space runs short and restoring them when it returns. Sidebar rows keep agent names visible longer as you narrow the sidebar, and dragging the divider fully left hides it again.
  • Faster in large workspaces — We tuned ten frequently used paths — file indexing, navigator snapshots, Git decorations, terminal output, search, semantic tokens, and crash-recovery snapshots among them — so large repositories open, navigate, search, and stream terminal output more smoothly with less main-thread work.
  • Claude Code's fullscreen renderer — Agentastic no longer overrides Claude Code's renderer, so its tui: fullscreen setting is honored in Agentastic terminals just like anywhere else.

Bug Fixes#

  • Remote terminals — Fixed a remote terminal that could freeze forever — no echo, no error — after the workspace server lost track of its session; Agentastic now respawns the shell in place and replays your input.
  • Terminal scaling — Fixed terminal text rendering at the wrong scale after you drag a window to a display with a different resolution.
  • Editor stability — Fixed a crash when pressing Backspace right after an emoji or other multi-byte character.
  • Sidebar performance — Fixed the agent sidebar (and the rest of the app) briefly slowing down while an agent streamed a lot of terminal output.
  • Remote pull requests — Fixed the base-branch and pull-request picker (and Create Pull Request) failing with "No git remote is configured" on remote (SSH) workspaces.
  • Remote agent launches — Fixed remote and cloud agent launches occasionally dropping the first character of the command, and losing a staged prompt when a launch was retried.
  • Terminal image previews — Fixed hovering a bare image filename like 7.png in ls output not showing a preview; relative image paths now resolve against the terminal's working directory.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.9

Released on July 16, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.9#

Highlights#

  • Design Mode — Turn what you see in the built-in browser directly into an agent task. Click the cursor button in the toolbar to enable it, hover to resolve React components down to their exact source file, line, and column, then click one to open a small composer right there in the browser — pre-loaded with that element's tag, selector, and source location. Describe the change and submit; it's dispatched straight to your agent. Hold Option while clicking to just copy the reference instead.

  • Quick Agent — A faster way to launch an agent when you already know where you're working. Click the Quick Agent tile on an empty editor pane — or just create a new worktree — and a small floating panel appears with a single prompt field. Type your task and press Enter to launch, or expand into the full Agent Home when you need repository, branch, or mode controls.

  • Create worktrees from pull requests — The branch picker in Agent Home and the New Worktree dialog now lists your repository's open pull requests alongside branches, searchable by title, author, or branch name. Pick one and the new worktree checks out directly to that PR's branch, ready to review or continue the work.

  • Worktree switcher — Press Ctrl+Tab for a macOS App Switcher-style panel: hold Ctrl and tap Tab to cycle through your worktrees, then release to switch. Each row shows what's going on — notified, waiting on you, agent active, or recently visited — and you can search by name or navigate with the arrow keys. Choose how the list is ordered under Settings → Worktrees.

Improvements#

  • Nested repository discovery — Open a parent folder that contains several git repositories and Agentastic now detects them and offers to add them, so you don't have to add each one by hand.
  • Terminal image previews — Hover a recognized image path printed in the terminal — or an agent's [image] attachment tag — for an inline preview; click to expand and pin it in place.
  • Keyboard shortcut reference panels — Press Cmd+/ for a compact shortcut cheat sheet, or open the full reference from Window → Keyboard Shortcuts.
  • Feedback screenshots — The feedback form now accepts image attachments — drag them in, browse for them, or paste with Cmd+V — so you can show us what you mean instead of describing it.
  • Sidebar refinements — Repository and label rows in the sidebar show their icon at rest and swap to a disclosure chevron on hover; a collapsed section shows a badge with how many rows are hidden inside, click it to expand. The editor tab strip's background now matches the sidebar for a more continuous look.

Bug Fixes#

  • Stability — Fixed a rare crash caused by a data race in command-palette registration.
  • Session saving — Fixed a potential app hang caused by session-state writes racing on a background queue.
  • Git clone — Fixed cloning from a URL copied straight out of your browser's address bar (like a /tree/main link) — Agentastic now strips the web-only parts, names the folder after the repository, and uses your connected GitHub account automatically for private repos.
  • Remote file mentions — Fixed @ file mentions in Agent Home not finding files in remote (SSH) repositories.
  • Remote inspector — Fixed the Inspector's Sources card showing an internal file path instead of the familiar host:path form for remote worktrees.
  • PR status badges — Fixed pull-request review and CI status badges in the sidebar not updating for worktrees you weren't actively viewing.
  • Terminal rendering — Fixed terminals sometimes showing blank or stale content after your Mac wakes, a display change, or a window resize.
  • Terminal input — Fixed Backspace deleting an already-typed character when finishing a Chinese, Japanese, or Korean input composition.
  • Sidebar selection — Fixed the main repository row in the sidebar not showing as selected after clicking it.
  • Issue badges — Fixed Linear and Sentry issue badges sometimes being lost after crash recovery.
  • Browser automation — Fixed the focus_tab command opening a separate standalone window instead of focusing the tab in your worktree.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.8

Released on July 14, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.8#

Highlights#

  • Quick Start — New to Agentastic? A new Quick Start button on the welcome screen clones a starter project and walks you through your very first agent task — building a playable Snake game — from start to finish. A friendly, non-blocking guide floats in the corner and takes you from sending the task, to watching the agent work in the integrated terminal, to reviewing the diff and playing the finished game in the built-in browser. (You'll need an agent CLI such as Claude installed to run the task.)

  • Model & thinking selectors — Choose exactly which model and how much reasoning effort an agent uses, right from the Agent Home prompt. A new selector on each Claude Code and Codex agent lets you pick the model — Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, or Fable for Claude Code; the GPT-5 family for Codex — and dial thinking effort from Low up to Max. Leave it on Default to let the CLI decide. Your choice is remembered per agent and applies to local, worktree, and cloud runs alike.

  • Dev server detection — Start a dev server in any terminal — npm run dev, Vite, Next.js, Flask, and more — and Agentastic spots it automatically, listing it under Running Servers in the inspector, favicon and all. Click to open it in the built-in browser or the browser of your choice. For remote SSH workspaces it's seamless: Agentastic sets up the port forward for you and opens the tunneled URL locally, so a server running on your remote machine is one click away.

Improvements#

  • Customizable repository icons — Give each repository its own icon so they're easy to tell apart in the Agents sidebar. Right-click a repository or worktree, choose Change Icon…, and pick an SF Symbol, an emoji, or a favicon pulled straight from the repo's own logo files. Your choice is remembered when you reopen the workspace.
  • Open Interpreter — Added Open Interpreter to the coding agents you can launch from Agent Home.
  • New Yukinord theme — A new bundled theme in matching dark and light variants — a deeper, icier take on Nord.
  • Copy Prompt — Agent rows now have a Copy Prompt action that restores your full original draft — text, attachments, file mentions, skills, and linked issues — when you paste it back into the composer.
  • Calmer terminals — Terminals now have comfortable breathing room around their content instead of text running flush to the edges.
  • Calmer chat — The agent chat timeline was retuned with a more readable type scale and quieter styling for a less noisy look.
  • Shell preferences everywhere — Remote and container terminals now honor your configured shell (bash, zsh, fish, or nu), matching local terminals.

Bug Fixes#

  • Session snapshots — Fixed periodic session snapshots hanging the app while saving in the background.
  • Workspace settings — Fixed a hang when saving workspace settings.
  • Sentry previews — Fixed a hang when previewing large Sentry issues in Agent Home.
  • Git clone — Fixed cloning a repository into an existing directory you chose to overwrite.
  • Remote diffs — Fixed opening files from a remote diff.
  • Remote terminal links — File and URL links clicked in a remote terminal now open in the worktree that owns the terminal.
  • Cursor — Corrected Cursor's auto-approve launch flags for unattended runs.
  • Home — Clicking Home in the sidebar now reliably opens Agent Home.
  • Panel separators — Fixed doubled divider lines between the navigator, editor, and inspector panels.
  • Worktree menu — Fixed oversized agent icons in the worktree menu.
  • Sidebar contrast — Improved contrast for sidebar icons in light mode.
  • Linear images — Fixed issue images not rendering in Agent Home attachment previews.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.7

Released on July 10, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.7#

Highlights#

  • Plugins — Connect a tool once in Agentastic and it's automatically wired into every coding agent you launch — Claude Code and Codex, across local, worktree, chat, container, and cloud runs — so you never hand-edit ~/.claude.json or a Codex config again. A plugin can deliver MCP servers (tools the agent can call), skills, and a prompt-attachable issue picker, all sharing one Keychain-backed connection. Twelve providers are built in — GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Jira, Sentry, Asana, Monday, Trello, Plane, Plain, Featurebase, and Forgejo — and you can install more from a GitHub repo or an .mcp.json file. Manage everything from the new Settings → Plugins page.

  • Native GitHub Pull Requests — Open a pull request as a tab and review it without leaving the editor. Read and edit the description, browse the conversation, reply to review comments inline, watch CI checks, and merge with your choice of merge, squash, or rebase — or mark a draft ready for review — right from the panel. You can also send any comment thread straight into an agent chat to act on the feedback.

    Reviewing a GitHub pull request in a native Agentastic panel — description, conversation, CI checks, and merge controls

Improvements#

  • More coding agents — Added support for Antigravity, Jules, and Freebuff, and corrected the launch flags across nineteen existing agents — including how Codex enters unattended auto-approve runs — after verifying each against its real CLI.
  • Open In & Code Review toolbar menus — The toolbar's Open In and Code Review buttons are now split menus: click for the default action, or hold to pick a specific external app or review tool.
  • Refreshed bundled themes — Every bundled theme was retuned for stronger contrast, more faithful canonical palettes, and a more distinct identity, so syntax stays legible and each theme looks like itself.
  • Agent terminals stay with their worktree — An agent's terminal is now owned by the worktree that launched it, so switching worktrees no longer mixes up or loses the terminal tied to each agent.

Bug Fixes#

  • Performance — Eliminated a batch of main-thread stalls and freezes: Ghostty terminals no longer hitch the UI, terminal-to-chat timeline building moved off the layout pass, and integration Keychain reads and crash-recovery encoding no longer block the main thread. Also fixed WezTerm reads getting stuck behind a parse-queue backlog, a hang when shell integration was installed at launch, and a hang when confirming quit.
  • Terminal — Ghostty terminals now refresh correctly after the Mac wakes from sleep, and remote terminal replay renders properly on reconnect.
  • Source Control — Fixed git account sign-in not refreshing after you authenticate, the pull-request badge not updating after you create a PR, and the toolbar breadcrumb for remote repositories.
  • Browser — Fixed agent browser automation issues: a stale system dev CLI, agent browser tabs that stayed invisible, and an editor crash in debug builds.
  • Interface — Fixed the inspector panel opening at the wrong default width and the Welcome window ignoring the bottom safe area.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.6

Released on July 6, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.6#

Highlights#

  • Attachment previews in Agent Home — Everything you pin to a prompt — images, files, skills, and linked Linear or Sentry issues — now shows an inline preview when you hover its chip, so you can double-check exactly what you're handing the agent without opening another picker. Images show a thumbnail, files show their text, skills render their Markdown in a scrollable reading area, and linked issues show the ticket or error details. The chips now sit in one tidy row, so attaching a few no longer pushes the agent and mode controls around.

Improvements#

  • Richer Sentry issue context — When you attach a Sentry issue to a run, Agentastic now hands the agent the full issue details and its latest event — level, status, tags, release and user context, and the exception entries — formatted as Markdown, instead of just the title and a link. Agents without Sentry tools of their own can now dig into the real error straight from the prompt.
  • Clearer glass panels — The navigator, inspector, and utility panels now render as a proper frosted-glass material with a theme-aware tint and crisp edges, so they stay readable over bright wallpapers instead of washing out to transparent gray. Inactive toolbar icons also get stronger contrast.

Bug Fixes#

  • Terminal & Chat — Fixed Terminal-to-Chat showing only the last screen — or nothing at all — for Claude Code sessions after a recent Claude Code update switched to a new fullscreen renderer; full conversations fold into chat again. Also fixed a brief app hang when saving a chat transcript to disk.
  • Terminal — Fixed URLs and file paths not opening on a plain click in Ghostty terminals when you clicked without first moving the pointer.
  • Remote — Fixed open file tabs disappearing from remote (SSH) workspaces after switching worktrees or reconnecting; your tabs, and any unsaved edits, now survive the switch.
  • Source Control — Fixed an app hang caused by pull-request status refreshes repeatedly pulling the full PR list of a large repository; status is now looked up per branch.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.5

Released on June 30, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.5#

Highlights#

  • Skills — Give your agents reusable, install-once capabilities instead of re-explaining how to do something in every prompt. Type / in the Agent Home prompt (or open the + menu's Attach skill…) to search your installed skills and the Skillopedia catalog, then attach one with a click — Agentastic installs it into that agent's native skills folder and notes the selection in the prompt. Manage your library from the new Settings → Skills page: install from a GitHub repo or Skillopedia, update to the latest version, or open a skill's SKILL.md for editing. Works across Claude Code, Codex, Droid, and Amp, with five skills bundled in to get started right away.

Bug Fixes#

  • Remote — A focused round of reliability fixes: remote SSH sessions no longer get stuck on "Connecting…"/"Reconnecting…", including when the daemon accepts a connection but stops responding or when file-watcher contention on the server stalled the reconnect handshake; switching worktrees stays responsive instead of blocking on git status refreshes; a busy workspace no longer floods every other connected client with its terminal and file-watch events; and code review now works correctly against remote repos instead of failing. Also fixed a whole-app freeze that could happen when switching away from a reconnecting remote terminal.
  • Stability — Fixed two crashes that could quit the app unexpectedly while deleting a worktree — one from a SwiftUI update-ordering fault during workspace teardown, another from a SIGPIPE signal when an active terminal's socket closed mid-write.
  • Agent Home — Fixed an oversized Sentry icon that could blow up the height of the + attachment menu.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.4

Released on June 28, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.4#

Highlights#

  • Sentry issue tracking — Turn a production error straight into an agent run. Connect your Sentry account, then pick an unresolved issue from the + menu in Agent Home — Agentastic hands the agent the issue's title and a direct link as context, so it starts with the real problem instead of a prompt you have to write yourself. Add your auth token under Settings → Accounts, and the linked issue follows the worktree into the sidebar and Kanban board. Sentry joins Linear as a built-in issue tracker.

  • Resume agents you start yourself — Until now, the terminal's Resume action only knew about agents launched from Agent Home. Agentastic now recognizes when you run an agent by hand — claude, codex, gemini, and a dozen others, including npx / bunx one-liners — and remembers the exact command. Resume re-runs your session with the right continue flag, the Inspector surfaces the same shortcut, and activity indicators treat it as a live agent session — so starting an agent straight from the prompt is now a first-class path.

Improvements#

  • Sorted Project Navigator — Files and folders in the Project Navigator are now ordered alphabetically within their groups. With "folders on top" enabled, folders and files are each sorted A→Z instead of appearing in an arbitrary order.

Bug Fixes#

  • Cloud — Fixed cloud agent terminals being lost after restarting the app: the agent's VM stayed alive, but its terminal could come back empty or as a brand-new session (three separate defects). Also fixed Vercel cloud agents failing to upload your worktree when launched from a remote (SSH) workspace.
  • Remote — Fixed the +/- line-count stats disappearing from remote worktrees in the sidebar after the connection resumed or the app relaunched.
  • Terminal & Chat — Fixed Codex tool calls not being parsed correctly in the Terminal-to-Chat view, so Codex sessions now fold their work into tidy cards like Claude Code.
  • Stability & Security — A focused round of fixes addressed 10 issues across the app, including the app getting stuck half-quit after cancelling a quit with unsaved changes (which had silently disabled new terminals, language servers, and shell commands), Replace All using stale options after toggling Text/Regex or case sensitivity, a command-palette crash on certain queries, a UI freeze from scheduled-task expressions that can never match, a language-server highlighting race, shell-injection hardening in Git configuration handling, and correct handling of Unicode file paths.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.3

Released on June 24, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.3#

Highlights#

  • Terminal-to-Chat — Flip any live Codex or Claude Code terminal into a clean chat view and back, without interrupting the agent. Agentastic reads the very same session your terminal shows and renders it as a conversation — your prompts as bubbles, tool calls collapsed into tidy "work" cards, finished turns folded away, and interactive menus as clickable choice buttons. Toggle Terminal | Chat from the new terminal options menu or the Inspector.

  • Two new agents: Grok Build & Devin — Added Grok Build (xAI) and Devin (Cognition) as built-in coding agents, bringing the total to 34 built-in agents. This release also reworks how prompts are handed to terminal agents — keystrokes are now timed to the moment the agent is actually ready instead of a fixed delay — so your first prompt lands reliably instead of occasionally getting dropped.

Improvements#

  • Terminal options menu — Terminal tabs gain an options menu (matching the editor's) to resume an agent session (e.g. claude --resume), switch Terminal/Chat, rename the tab, copy the working directory or full scrollback, and reveal local terminals in Finder. Available from the tab toolbar and right-click.
  • Reorder repositories — Drag repository headers in the agent sidebar to arrange a multi-repo workspace however you like; the order is remembered across launches.
  • Reorganized Settings — Font controls (editor, Markdown, terminal) now live on a dedicated Appearance (Font) page, and container options move to their own Containers page, for a cleaner, more discoverable sidebar.
  • Pasted images in remote & container terminals — Pasting an image into a remote (SSH) or container terminal now uploads it to the target and inserts a path the agent can actually read, instead of a local path that didn't exist there.
  • Easier tab dragging — You can now drop a tab anywhere on a destination split's tab bar, not just directly onto another tab.
  • Unified glass chrome — The editor, utility area, navigator, and inspector now share one consistent glass surface for a more cohesive look.

Bug Fixes#

  • Remote — Fixed remote SSH workspaces getting stuck on "Connecting" during large diff refreshes, terminals not accepting input after the Mac wakes from sleep, a runaway-CPU spin on flaky hosts, Git LFS worktree creation, and missing line-count stats on remote worktrees.
  • Editor & Sidebar — Fixed agent terminals disappearing from a worktree after switching away and back, clicking a repository header not switching to it, and uneven Settings sidebar margins on macOS 26.
  • Source Control — Fixed pull-request status pointing at the wrong project for nested GitLab/self-hosted remotes (group/subgroup/project).
  • Containers — Fixed the first chunk of Docker terminal output occasionally being dropped, which could break terminal reattach.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.2

Released on June 15, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.2#

Highlights#

  • A rebuilt diff viewer — Reviewing what your agents changed is something you do constantly, so it should never make you wait. The diff viewer has been rebuilt from the ground up for speed: large diffs open and scroll smoothly without freezing the app, syntax highlighting works on much bigger files, and even enormous diffs stay responsive behind a "Show remaining lines" expander.

  • Agents in Apple Containers — Run agents in fully isolated local containers using Apple's native container runtime — no Docker Desktop required. It's lightweight and built into recent macOS, giving each agent a clean, disposable sandbox without installing anything extra. Choose your runtime under Settings → Worktrees, and container sessions reconnect automatically after an app restart.

  • Vercel Sandbox cloud backend — Launch cloud agents on Vercel Sandbox, alongside Modal and Fly.io. Your agents keep running in the cloud after you close your Mac and stay reachable from any of your machines. Add your token under Settings → Cloud and your worktree syncs up, runs, and syncs back just like the other cloud providers.

  • SSH port forwarding — Keep dev-server tunnels open right from the app, so you can preview a web app or service running on a remote machine in your local browser. A new Tunnels tab in the remote sessions dialog forwards a local port to a remote one and can auto-start whenever the workspace reconnects, with one-click open and copy for the forwarded URL — no more running ssh -L by hand.

  • Greptile code review — Added Greptile as a built-in code review agent alongside CodeRabbit, so you can catch issues before you push without leaving the editor. Run a full review of your branch diff — severity-rated findings, suggested fixes, and a PR summary — right in a terminal pane from the Code Review menu, ⇧⌘R, or Settings → Code Review.

Improvements#

  • The chronological agent sidebar no longer reshuffles while you run many agents at once — rows reorder at most once every few minutes, while a dev notify still floats a worktree to the top.
  • Drag files from the navigator onto a local terminal to paste their paths — resolved relative to the terminal's working directory and shell-escaped only when needed.
  • Drop image files onto the Agent Home prompt to attach them as images instead of pasting a file path.
  • Repository indexing can now be cancelled, with a clearer repo > worktree label and a Cancel button in both the activity badge and the detail popover.
  • Remote worktrees now show live diff stats and pull-request status in the sidebar.
  • A new Dev Menu tab opens from View → Show Dev Menu (⇧⌘L) without replacing your current tab.
  • Polished the Settings window with a wider layout, a System / Light / Dark thumbnail appearance picker, and branded icons for Modal, Fly.io, and Vercel on the Cloud page.
  • More reliable remote SSH connections — a faster heartbeat reconnects dropped sessions, and connections recover automatically after sleep or a network change.
  • Git commands now use your terminal's PATH, so tools like git-lfs are found when you launch Agentastic from Finder or the Dock.
  • The utility terminal now fills the panel edge to edge when only one terminal is open, with the new-terminal button moved into the bottom toolbar.
  • Agentastic now offers to install the system-wide dev CLI on launch when it isn't already on your PATH.

Bug Fixes#

  • Agent Home — Fixed prompt-field scroll jitter, last-line clipping, text running past the right margin, and awkwardly wrapping field labels.
  • Browser — Fixed a ~19-second hang when opening a browser tab and a render freeze when switching to a worktree that has one, plus leaked web views and several background-session and inspector-refresh glitches.
  • Editor — Fixed blank jump-bar breadcrumbs and the editor's Wrap Lines toggle.
  • Terminal — Fixed terminal file links not resolving, Ghostty not inheriting the correct environment, missing kanban terminal previews, and an unintended auto-approve when resuming a terminal.
  • Remote — Fixed a reconnect storm that kept dropping remote SSH workspaces, terminals ignoring typed input after a reconnect, and terminal sizing after reattaching.
  • Sidebar & Themes — Fixed an unreadable white-on-white agent selection in light themes, and sidebar alignment in full screen.
  • App Hangs — Fixed a 2-second hang on launch caused by a LaunchServices lookup on the main thread.
  • Stability & Security — A large bug-hunt pass fixed more than 60 issues across the app — including security hardening in Git operations, crashes, and data-loss edge cases — alongside cleanup of leaked git helper processes.
  • dev CLI & Worktrees — Many smaller fixes to branch and version display, grouped listing on older Bash, ambiguous base refs, file-URL handling, and clearer error reporting.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.1

Released on June 3, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.1#

Highlights#

  • Quick actions on the empty editor — Start faster from a blank pane. The empty editor now shows one-click cards to open Agent Home, spin up a new terminal, create a file, open a browser, or browse your project files.

  • Group agents by time — The agent sidebar adds a new chronological view that buckets your worktrees by recency — Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days — alongside Pinned, Backlog, and Archived, so your most recent work is always on top.

  • Redesigned Add Remote — A cleaner, faster host picker for connecting over SSH that now surfaces more of your machines by expanding Include directives in your SSH config.

  • Inspector Panel — The inspector now surfaces useful info and shortcuts for the current agent. Create a PR or make a commit directly from the panel.

    The Inspector panel showing environment changes, Create PR and Commit shortcuts, browser, agents, and sources for the current worktree

Improvements#

  • Terminal links are now clickable without holding ⌘ — URLs and file paths highlight on hover and open with a plain click, complete with a hand cursor.
  • Terminal links can now open in a split when one is available, keeping your current pane in view.
  • Merged the repository, branch, and worktree toolbar controls into a single breadcrumb for a cleaner, more compact title bar.
  • Refreshed dark-theme chrome so the sidebar, toolbar, and panels blend together more consistently.
  • Voice-enabled terminal tools, such as Claude Code's voice dictation, can now use the microphone.
  • Updated the Ghostty, WezTerm, and xterm.js terminal backends to their latest versions.

Bug Fixes#

  • Themes — Fresh installs now open with the intended default theme instead of an arbitrary one.
  • Toolbar — Fixed action buttons doing nothing when collapsed into the » overflow menu.
  • Remote — Fixed broken file links in remote terminals, terminals becoming unresponsive after a reconnect, and untitled editor tabs disappearing when switching worktrees on a remote workspace.
  • Browser — Fixed browser tabs opening against the wrong worktree.
  • Sidebar & Chrome — Fixed worktree activity indicators in the navigator and stale utility-area chrome lingering after switching worktrees.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.8.0

Released on May 30, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.8.0#

Highlights#

  • Cloud Agents — Keep your agents running in the cloud while you close your laptop! Launch one from Agent Home and Agentastic spins up a remote sandbox (Modal or Fly.io), syncs your worktree, and runs the agent there. Sessions persist, so the same agent stays reachable from any of your machines, and Sync Down from VM pulls its changes back. Add a provider under Settings → Cloud.

  • Remote SSH — Add remote machines over SSH and launch agents on your dev boxes with full source control, terminals, and worktrees. Sessions are persistent, so you can close your Mac or restart Agentastic and the agents keep running in the background. Remote workspaces restore on launch — in offline mode if the host is unreachable — reconnect with a single click, and keep their terminals across app restarts. Add remote machines via File → "Add Remote…" (⇧⌘E) or the Welcome window.

Improvements#

  • The navigator sidebar shows per-worktree agent activity, with a cloud badge on cloud worktrees.
  • The diff viewer now streams large diffs incrementally, adds a Create Pull Request button, and remembers a comparison branch per workspace.
  • Faster worktree switching, lighter background polling, and reduced Ghostty typing lag.
  • dev tail now streams into Ghostty, WezTerm, and xterm.js terminals.
  • Untitled editor tabs are preserved when switching worktrees, and Workspace Settings now work on remote workspaces.
  • Improved light-theme terminal contrast; WezTerm auto-scrolls during drag-selection and resizes more smoothly during splits.
  • Streamlined Settings — Navigation was merged into General and account settings were unified.

Bug Fixes#

  • App & UI Freezes — Fixed freezes from "Split Down", the Agent Home prompt, diff-viewer scrolling, and a whole-app hang when a remote repository's connection stalled.
  • Browser Stability — Fixed DevTools console hangs on heavy log output and at the message cap, URL-bar hangs, and a WebKit crash from idle background tabs.
  • Process Cleanup — Fixed leaked shell, git (fsmonitor / gitstatusd), and language-server processes piling up over time.
  • Crashes — Fixed crashes in the new-worktree sheet, the notification toolbar, and project-navigator file creation and rename.
  • Worktrees & Files — Fixed worktree deletion when the .git link is missing, stale folders after duplicating a file, and scheduled Agent Home tasks running against the wrong repository.
  • Fixed the xterm.js terminal backend on macOS 26.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.7.2

Released on April 22, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.7.2#

Improvements#

  • Cleaned up the Linear settings UI by hiding a redundant "Enabled" label next to the toggle.

Bug Fixes#

  • Agent Home Batch Launches — Fixed parallel agent runs getting stuck partway through a multi-agent send. Worktree creation now stays serialized, while agent terminal launches fan out in parallel without blocking each other.
  • Agent Home Prompt Focus — Fixed the Agent Home prompt not reliably regaining keyboard focus when opening or switching back to the home tab, and improved click-to-focus behavior inside the prompt area.
  • Source Control Folder Changes — Fixed a crash when opening folder-shaped changes such as directories, bundles, or submodules from the Source Control navigator.
  • Popover Stability — Hardened popover presentation across Agent Home file mentions, code suggestions, and other instant popovers so they dismiss cleanly when their anchor view disappears, becomes hidden, or the parent window loses focus, and cleaned up stale popover/window observers.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.7.1

Released on April 22, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.7.1#

Improvements#

  • WezTerm now preserves scrollback position while you make native text selections.
  • Background worktree diff-stat refreshes now run in a lower-priority git lane, which keeps Agent Home and other interactive git actions responsive.

Bug Fixes#

  • Source Control Stability — Fixed discarding changes and reloading clean open documents from disk, which could crash or leave editors in a bad undo state.
  • Editor Restore Crash — Fixed an Int overflow crash when persisting sentinel cursor positions during editor-state restoration.
  • Find Replace Navigation — Fixed Replace / Replace All with wrap-around disabled leaving stale match state instead of stopping cleanly at the end of the document.
  • Open in Terminal Paths — Fixed Open in… terminal actions for folders whose paths contain apostrophes.
  • Browser Share & Automation Cleanup — Fixed browser automation element references leaking across tabs, and fixed cancelled share tunnels leaving pending processes behind.
  • Package Install Cancellation — Fixed language-server and package installs getting stuck after cancelling a confirmation prompt.
  • Git & LSP Escaping — Hardened shell quoting for several git operations and fixed LSP file URIs for paths containing spaces, #, or %.
  • Scheduler, IPC, and Process Cleanup — Hardened scheduled-task path validation, improved long Unix-socket path handling for Docker and system dev IPC, and fixed timeout cleanup so hung child shell processes no longer keep commands alive.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.7

Released on April 19, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.7#

Highlights#

  • System-Wide dev CLI — dev cli is now accessible system-wide, this allows you (or your agent) to programatically control agentastic.dev, e.g. running cron jobs externally, or controlling the agentastic.dev from the web, your phone, or via other agents (e.g. agentastic.app or openclaw).

    Install dev from Agentastic → Install Shell Integration…. The system-wide CLI talks to any running Agentastic instance over the same JSON-RPC socket used by the in-terminal shim, See the reference for the full command list.

  • WezTerm Terminal Backend — We now support Wezterm terminal alongside SwiftTerm, Ghostty, and xterm.js: Wezterm is a popular and powerful terminal emulator/multiplexor based on Rust and uses OpenGL rendering. We also support the awesome harfbuzz library for proper font Ligatures.

  • Explore (Handoff) Mode — A new Agent Home run mode alongside Agent / Agent (Auto-Approve) / Plan. When selected, the agent investigates a reported problem, produces a compact .context/HANDOFF.md root-cause report, and packs the minimal relevant file set via dev repomix — so a second agent can resume the work with the smallest viable context.

  • Create Pull Request — Open PRs directly from the Source Control menu via gh pr create, or delegate the full flow to your preferred PR agent. Cmd+Shift+P runs the agent path; Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+P opens the direct form.

  • Worktree Relationship Graph + dev link — A persisted worktree graph records batch and lineage relationships from Agent Home sends, manual worktree creation, and CLI clone/fork flows. Paired with a new dev link command (create / list / remove) and named groups that surface in the navigator and Kanban with cleaner badges and a hover tooltip.

  • Clone Git Repository from File Menu — Clone repos without leaving the editor. Cloning from an open workspace adds the repo to it; cloning from the welcome screen opens it in a new window.

Improvements#

  • Unified agent and Code Review configuration — review agents now live under Settings > Agents with optional per-agent review commands and availability toggles.
  • Cmd+ / Cmd- scales Agent Home and Kanban panels between 50%–200% when those views are active; Cmd+Ctrl+0 resets.
  • Inline scheduled-task editing in the detail panel; the primary action flips from Edit to Save once the draft diverges from the stored task.
  • Decreased toolbar transparency so glass-mode chrome is more legible in both light and dark modes.
  • Default new-install terminal font switched to Menlo.

Bug Fixes#

  • Fixed Cmd+W on the Scheduled Tasks tab closing a hidden terminal or tmux tab instead of the active scheduled-tasks view.
  • Fixed Find panel Replace / Replace All requiring the panel to be focused, and restored reliable replace-navigation after a recent regression.
  • Fixed PR status badges silently broken.
  • Fixed copy/paste in Agent Home being stolen by the xterm.js backend's WKWebView even when not focused.
  • Fixed duplicate project navigator entries when opening a file from file search.
  • Fixed a detached browser popup crash when invoking Close Tab or Close Editor.
  • Fixed a FindPanelViewModel notification-observer leak that crashed the app on editor tab close.
  • Fixed scheduled agent launches silently downgrading to local mode, or omitting --dangerously-skip-permissions / plan-mode flags in unattended terminals.
  • Fixed terminal backends intercepting Cmd+Option+Arrow and other app-level shortcuts.
  • Fixed a 2+ second main-thread hang caused by loading file icons, file icons now load through an async IconCache on a background queue.
  • Fixed a UI freeze when a hung git diff --shortstat blocked.
  • Fixed an app crash from a race.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.6.5

Released on April 2, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.6.5#

Highlights#

  • Introducing Repomix — Pack your codebase into AI-friendly format, accessible via dev repomix or in the file navigator.

  • xterm.js Terminal Backend — A third terminal backend option is now available alongside SwiftTerm and Ghostty. xterm.js runs in a WebView with WebGL GPU-accelerated rendering, full theme sync, clickable URL detection, and auto-resize support. Select it in Settings > Terminal > Backend.

  • Agent Icons Everywhere — Worktrees in the navigator sidebar, toolbar picker, and terminal editor tabs now display the actual agent icon (Claude, Codex, Gemini, etc.) instead of the generic Agentastic logo. Icons update reactively when an agent starts running.

  • Routed macOS Notificationsdev notify now posts real macOS notifications with routing metadata. Clicking a notification activates Agentastic.dev, switches to the correct repo/worktree, and focuses the originating terminal.

  • Flat Sidebar Theme — A new theme toggle (Settings > Themes) switches the navigator between native sidebar chrome and a flatter custom style.

Improvements#

  • Editor tabs now have bounded widths with truncated title tooltips on overflow.
  • Updated SwiftTerm to latest upstream.

Bug Fixes#

  • App Hang on Workspace Open — Fixed a 2+ second main thread hang caused by expensive runtime type metadata reflection in Swift's auto-synthesized objectWillChange publisher.
  • Fixed auto-update failure on macOS 26.
  • Fixed IME Backspace deleting committed characters instead of preedit text for Wubi (五笔) and other Chinese input methods.
  • Fixed Ghostty IME popup positioning.
  • Fixed Chinese IME composition in Agent Home prompt.
  • Fixed crash when double-clicking a Kanban tile with a live terminal.
  • Fixed dev shim commands unreachable from sandboxed agents.
  • Fixed scheduled task completion reporting.

  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.6.0

Released on March 9, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.6.0#

Highlights#

  • Browser Automation — Agents running in Agentastic terminals can now control the built-in browser with 70+ commands via the dev browser CLI: navigate, snapshot the DOM, click, fill forms, manage cookies, handle dialogs, and more. Just point your agent to the browser-use skill and tell it to use it.

  • Browser Skill Toolbar — Quick-access menu in the browser toolbar to install and use the browser automation skill.

  • Default Browser Setting — Choose to open all URLs in the built-in browser, your system default, or any installed browser like Chrome or Firefox. Built-in is now the default, so links from terminals, markdown, and menus open right inside the editor.

Improvements#

  • Single-click or double-click worktree switching is now configurable in Settings > Worktrees.
  • Bulk "Apply Label" action for multi-selected worktrees in the navigator context menu.
  • Pasting rich text into the prompt field now strips formatting automatically.
  • Improved tab close behavior — closing a terminal or diff tab now selects the adjacent tab instead of jumping to the first one.
  • Skip Claude workspace trust dialog for Agent Home runs.

v0.5.18

Released on February 25, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.5.18#

Made a lot of improvements to make the app more stable and smoother. If the app is crashing on your mac please ping me or make some noise 💜

Highlights#

  • Kanban Board — A brand-new Kanban view organizes your worktrees into columns by label. Drag and drop cards between columns to reassign labels, reorder columns, and click any card to jump straight to that worktree. Access it from the View menu (⇧⌘J) or the Command Palette.

  • PR & MR Status Badges — See pull request and merge request status directly in the worktree navigator. Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket with clickable badges, CI status indicators, and color-coded review states. No more switching to your browser to check PR status.

  • New App Icon — Agentastic has a fresh new look with the mechanical ghost blueprint logo across all build variants.

Improvements#

  • Quick Setup option: You can globally set which files get copied to your worktree during setup (Settings > Worktree).
  • Side-by-side diff view is now the default for new users, with diagonal hatching on empty columns for a cleaner visual distinction between additions and deletions.
  • Full-width diffs for new and deleted files — when viewing a newly added or fully removed file in split mode, the content now expands to use the full width instead of showing an empty column.
  • Per-file collapse controls in the diff viewer — quickly collapse or expand individual files in a diff with a single click on the chevron in each file header.
  • Zen Mode overlay navigator — hovering near the left edge now reveals the navigator as an overlay, keeping your terminal and editor layout stable instead of resizing them.
  • Label selector in Agent Home — pick a label when creating new worktrees so they're organized from the start.
  • Quick Setup for new worktrees — configure global quick-setup paths (files or directories) that are automatically copied into every new worktree during creation.
  • Termination diagnostics — detailed process-safe logging helps diagnose unexpected shutdowns, with automatic log rotation to keep things tidy.

Bug Fixes#

  • Stability and performance improvements across the board.
  • Fixed a crash caused by SwiftUI layout recursion when creating a new agent from the context menu in multi-repo workspaces.
  • Fixed a silent exit(1) crash triggered by nil Picker selections and state mutation cascades in Agent Home.
  • Fixed syntax highlighting briefly disappearing when switching focus between the editor and terminal.
  • Session recovery now persists open workspaces every 30 seconds, so your session is restored even after an unexpected crash.

Requirements#

  • macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel processor

v0.5

Released on January 20, 2026

Agentastic.dev v0.5#

Dev 0.5 is available today. This version brings a slew of new features and usability improvements.

Features#

  • Containers - This was the most-requested feature since our beta launch. Docker containers are now supported, so you can use them in addition to the worktrees for full isolation. (requires Docker Desktop)
  • Multiple Git Repos in the same workspace - The 2nd most requested feature. You can now open multiple git repos in the same workspace and seamlessly work/switch between them.
  • Pinned agents - You can pin a running agent, and it will keep it up at the top. You can pick accent colors for the repo as well.
  • Notifications - Agents now show an orange badge when they are waiting for something. Under the hood this is coded as when any terminal emits echo -e "\n", or creates a .agentastic/waiting signal, we show the badge. You can also include that in your build scripts to know when a build is finished (e.g., trap ...)
  • Zen mode - This turns to a pure terminal experience. You can still hover over the left edge to open the agent panel.
  • Open In... - We get that you might want to open your agent's workspace in other editors or IDEs. I'm not saying you should, but if you really want that, now you can. Ok, enough. Come back... Come back to me!
  • Various bugfixes and quality of life improvements
