v2.8.4
What's new
A redesigned workspace
- A calmer layout. A collapsible labeled sidebar (toggle between icons and icons + names), a framed chat surface, and a quieter overall look.
- Six themes. Dark, Light, Midnight, Nord, Dracula and Sepia, each with a matching terminal palette. Pick one in Preferences or during the welcome tour.
Getting started and updates
- A guided first run. A short welcome tour lets you choose your CLI and your look, then drops you straight into the app.
- A What's new page. After an update, Husk shows a short What's new page once, so you can see what changed without going through the tour again.
Reliability
- One session per conversation. Continuing a chat no longer splits it into many separate sessions in the list.
- Trust a folder in one click. When the agent has not yet trusted your working folder, Husk offers a one-click action so your saved permissions actually apply.
- Add files to context from the chat header, and attach a file to your next message instead of a separate prompt.
Fixes
- Workflow steps now run in your working directory, so codex steps work on macOS.
- Menus, dialogs, and the command palette stay opaque and readable on every theme.
- The command palette keeps the highlighted row in view while you arrow through it.

- macOS builds are not code-signed yet (no Apple Developer ID), so macOS cannot auto-install updates. On macOS, "Check for updates" sends you to the dmg download; after installing, run this once so Gatekeeper will open it:
