Owlet v0.2.0

Less between you and your work.

Download Owlet-v0.2.0-windows-x64.zip, extract the entire folder, and run Owlet.exe. No installer or Node.js required. The portable ZIP is the canonical Windows binary; SHA256SUMS.txt verifies the download.

What's new

  • Start where you left off. A compact welcome page brings Open Folder, Connect Remote, shortcuts, and local/SSH recent workspaces together.
  • Stay oriented. Opening or focusing a tab reveals its file in Explorer. Tab overflow stays compact; middle-click closes tabs, and the tab menu adds split and close-saved actions.
  • Read more, with less friction. PDFs open locally and over SSH with selectable text, page navigation, and zoom. Unsupported files explain why in a temporary tab.
  • Choose your window color precisely. A saturation/brightness square, hue slider, HSB and HEX inputs sit beside the original palette. The window stays undimmed and unblurred during live preview. Save commits; Cancel restores.
  • Recover from SSH interruptions. Automatic reconnect shows retry progress and refreshes files after recovery. Dirty buffers remain protected; failed writes are not replayed.
  • Better editing and terminals. Stronger Markdown emphasis highlighting, consistent preview zoom shortcuts, mouse-selection fixes, editor/preview clipboard menus, compact terminal chrome, and fixes for terminal layout and agy startup.

New windows cascade instead of covering one another exactly. Remote startup distinguishes a pending connection, SSH failure, and a missing directory. All meaningful actions remain available through the command palette and named command API.

Scope

Windows x64 portable binary, unsigned. Signed installers and automatic updates are not included. SSH uses configured OpenSSH authentication and a Linux host with Bash and Python 3; no persistent remote daemon is installed.

PDFs transfer in full, up to 32 MiB. Password-protected PDFs, forms, annotations, printing and full-document PDF search are not supported yet. Preview find excludes rendered equations and Mermaid. Text and raster-image limits remain 4 MiB and 16 MiB.

Direct shells need an explicit restart after a lost SSH connection. Language servers, debugger, Git UI and an extension marketplace remain out of scope.
