Alchemist Coder 1.3.1

Alchemist Coder 1.3.1: tabs and a browser of its own for every project, and an app that never moves you.

New

• Tabs, and a browser for each project. Every project gets its own browser, with its own cookies, sign-ins and tabs.
  • The pane shows the browser of the project you're on. An agent only ever uses its own project's browser, so one project's agents never see another's pages or logins.
  • The tab strip has + for a new tab (up to 12) and × to close one. What a page would open in a new window opens in a new tab.
  • Agents get three new tools: list their tabs, bring one to the front and close one. They can also open a page in a new tab.
  • If an agent is browsing in another project, the title bar says so in words ("Claude Code is browsing · App Factory"). A click takes you there.
• A shield that says what each agent may do. The permission chip has a new crest-shaped shield with one sign per mode, clear at 14 px in dark and light themes:
  • an eye: reads only;
  • a question mark: asks before acting;
  • a check: accepts edits;
  • a bolt, in the danger tone: allows everything.
• Motion that never moves the layout.
  • Buttons press in, and dialogs and menus rise in.
  • A new message slides in once.
  • A working agent's card breathes, and one waiting for you calls a little louder.
  • Changing theme cross-fades the colours.
  • Reduce motion turns all of it off.
• Help → Star Alchemist Coder on GitHub. The welcome screen also says a star helps others find the app.

Fixed

• The app never moves you on its own.
  • A conversation you start, or a fork, shows up in the sidebar while you stay where you are. Before, it could pull you back to it and to its project.
  • Once a new conversation is saved, that project's «New conversation» starts empty. Before, Send could continue the old conversation.
  • During the first index, the project you're on stays open.
  • An agent using the built-in browser no longer opens the pane. The title bar says it's browsing, and a click opens it.

Download

• macOS: -arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or -x64.dmg (Intel). It isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first time macOS says it can't verify the app.
  1. Click Done.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Click Open Anyway.
• Windows: -setup.exe. If SmartScreen warns you, choose More info → Run anyway.
• Linux: -x86_64.AppImage or -amd64.deb.
  • Make the AppImage executable; it needs no extra packages.
  • Install the .deb with sudo apt install ./Alchemist-Coder-1.3.1-amd64.deb.
