The City 0.5.0

• ⌘↩ accepts Reception's suggested action once it's showing.
• Times on the counter, step bars and trophies show as m:ss, such as 0:14 rather than 14s.
• VoiceOver reads how long each room has been working, such as "Research, working, 12 seconds".
• Fixed the camera passing through the first floor, and trees blocking the view, when you type to Reception.
• Fixed Reception's suggestion buttons being clickable while routing was still running, which could start the wrong job.
• Fixed delivered files showing full paths instead of project-relative ones when the project is behind a symlink, such as under /tmp.

The City 0.4.0

Added

• Reception can continue a floor's last job as well as start a new one, and says that a new job starts without the last job's conversation.
• Floors show whether Claude Code is installed and signed in before you start a job, with Install…, Locate…, Sign In… and Open Usage Settings buttons.
• Failed jobs have a Try again button, and the delivery card shows the same setup buttons when Claude Code is missing or signed out.
• When the demo finishes, its floor offers Break ground on your own project… and Watch again instead of a composer that can't run jobs.
• Settings has an Updates tab with the version and a Check for Updates… button.
• View › Reset View puts the camera back after you've orbited, zoomed or panned.
• Help › The City Help (⌘?) opens the guide on GitHub.

Changed

• Open In is split into a button that opens the project in the app you used last and a menu for choosing another.
• Notifications name the building and floor they're about.
• Approval cards say which rule Always allow saves, and the stamp reads "Always allowed".
• The floor panel's tabs are now Activity (Needs you when something's waiting), Room, and Tools & skills.
• Remove from City… asks before removing a project and its floors.
• Panning stops within reach of the scene, so the view can't be lost.
• While a question card is showing, ⌘1–⌘9 answer it instead of switching floors.
• Space toggles the delivery card, and deliveries after the first show collapsed.
• The job ticket's text can be selected and copied.
• The Hired button shows a checkmark so it reads as a toggle.
• Reception gets ready while you type, and if it takes longer than 12 seconds it asks you to choose a floor instead of waiting.
• The Settings model picker lists models before you've opened a floor.
• Plan usage refresh errors show in the usage bar instead of only in a tooltip.

Fixed

• Fixed Watch a demo overwriting your saved plan usage with the recording's numbers, and posting notifications while The City was in the background.
• Fixed the loft poking through the ceiling.
• Fixed MCP terminal labels being drawn at a different size from desk bubbles.
• Fixed failure messages telling you to fix Claude Code "from the opening screen", which no longer exists.

The City 0.3.0

• The welcome screen has a Watch a Demo button that replays a recorded job on a sample floor, so you can see the office working without spending any tokens or changing your city. Thanks to @Tenkeren11 for building it.
• Jobs can't be started from the demo floor, which explains that it only replays a recording.

The City 0.2.0

• Settings › Accounts has an Add Account… button that names a new Claude account and opens Terminal so you can sign in to it.
• Settings is split into General, Accounts, Appearance and Alerts tabs, so it fits on smaller screens.
• New jobs now default to a US$5 budget instead of US$1, unless you've already picked one in Settings.
• The city stops rendering while its window is minimised or fully covered, so it uses far less CPU in the background.
• If Terminal can't be opened to sign in, The City now shows an error instead of doing nothing.

The City 0.1.1

• New app icon: a city block with its robot out front.
• New jobs now ask before every tool by default instead of running in Auto mode, unless you've picked a mode in Settings.
• The City now needs Claude Code 2.1.163 or later, and Reception explains how to update an older version before running a job.
• Approval notifications no longer have an Allow button, so tools can only be allowed from the desk card; Deny still works from the notification.
• Updates are only accepted from a signed feed and are verified before they're unpacked.
• Fixed Sign In… failing when the path to Claude Code or the account folder contains an apostrophe.

The City 0.1.0

First public release.

• City view: each project folder is a building, with beacons for buildings that are working or need you and a "Needs you" list.
• Buildings of floors above a Reception lobby. Each floor is a saved team with its own Claude session, model, budget and job history, and floors run in parallel.
• Reception routes a request to the floor whose team fits, taking into account work already running on other floors, or proposes a new floor. A busy floor queues the job.
• Hiring picks departments from the project's .claude/agents/*.md using Apple's on-device model, with a word-overlap fallback.
• Live office scene driven by the claude CLI's stream-JSON output, including subagents at their own desks and a Contractor desk for unplanned ones.
• Questions and tool approvals as cards at the robot's desk, with keyboard shortcuts and Always allow.
• Delivered card with a summary, changed files and follow-up that resumes the session.
• Budget limit per job, 5-hour and weekly plan usage display, and a raw log window.
• Plan usage is tracked per account: the gauges show a row for each account, the Account menu shows each one's usage, and Settings can hide accounts you don't use.
• Checks that Claude Code is installed and signed in, with Install…, Locate… and Sign In… options.
• Background notifications and Dock badge when a floor needs you.
• Light and dark themes, custom brands, sounds and haptics.
• Automatic updates via Sparkle, with a Check for Updates… menu item.
