Agent Tarmac v0.4.4 — a proper welcome

Adds a first-run welcome + in-app guide: what Agent Tarmac does, a status legend, and the keyboard shortcuts. It opens automatically the first time you launch, and you can reopen it anytime with ⌘/ or the ? button in the sidebar.

Agent Tarmac v0.4.3

Maintenance release. Adds an anonymous, opt-out launch counter (so install numbers reflect both direct downloads and source builds) that doubles as the update check; it sends only a random install id, the app version, and the OS, and falls back to GitHub if unreachable. Opt out any time with AGENT_TARMAC_NO_TELEMETRY=1. See the Privacy section in the README.

Agent Tarmac v0.4.2 — startup that actually starts

Fixes two v0.4.1 startup regressions that came out of the non-blocking-startup rework.

Fixed

• The whole window froze on launch (no splash, blank sidebar). The token-stats compute was running on the UI thread, so its one-time cold read of your transcripts (~33s on a large machine) locked up the entire app until it finished. It now runs off the main thread — the splash plays, the sidebar loads, and the window stays responsive while the token count fills in.
• The sidebar could hang indefinitely. On a warm cache the startup scan finished so fast it emitted its results before the window had subscribed, so the sidebar sat on its loader until something else (a new terminal session) nudged it. The app now backfills the current session list on launch, so the sidebar populates on its own every time.

No change to what the app reads or sends — Agent Tarmac still only reads local transcript metadata and never uses your Claude usage.

Agent Tarmac v0.4.1 — instant startup + launch animation

Startup went from a stall to a jet launch.

• Instant startup. Agent Tarmac no longer reads your transcripts synchronously at launch — it reads only each file's edges (never the multi-GB middle), caches by mtime/size, and scans in the background. On a real 27 GB / 325-session machine: cold-start metadata 243s → ~0.5s (6ms warm), and the window paints immediately regardless.
• Launch animation. A jet takes off and climbs out as the app opens; if a huge history is still loading, the sidebar shows the same jet still climbing.
• Token stats scale. Usage is streamed and incrementally cached (reads only newly-appended bytes on rescan), so the tokenmaxxing number stays honest without re-reading gigabytes.

Agent Tarmac v0.4.0 — now manages Codex too

The tagline is now literally true: mission control for your coding agents, not just Claude.

• Codex CLI support — sessions from OpenAI's codex CLI appear right alongside Claude Code: browsable, resumable (codex resume), with their token usage folded into your fleet stats and a quiet violet badge so you can tell agents apart at a glance.
• Built on a real backend abstraction — a SessionBackend trait, so Gemini and others slot in next. The Claude path is byte-for-byte unchanged.
• ChatGPT-app sessions hidden by default — if you use ChatGPT Desktop, its Codex sessions won't flood your sidebar. A footer toggle reveals them; standalone CLI sessions always show.
• Plus: hardened Codex transcript parsing and cleaner session titles.

Agent Tarmac v0.3.1

Share it properly, see it before you send it, and light the afterburners.

• Native macOS share sheet — the snapshot goes to Messages/Mail/AirDrop/wherever, not just your clipboard
• Live preview on Home — the tokenmaxxing card renders right on the dashboard, exactly as it will export; click it to share
• github.com/aknakshay/Agent-Tarmac on every card — shared snapshots now carry their own way home
• Warm afterburner flames — working sessions' jets burn red-to-yellow now, in the sidebar and in Tarmac Defense

Agent Tarmac v0.3.0 — tokenmaxxing

The flex release.

• Token stats on Home: today's output tokens as the headline number (the one you actually brag about), input + cache-read beneath, all-time totals — parsed from your own transcripts, all local, no telemetry
• The tokenmaxxing snapshot: one click renders a boarding-pass-style share card — today's tokens, fleet stats, your Tarmac Defense best — straight to your clipboard, sized for X. Also available from the game's death screen
• Linux now compiles (CI-checked, runtime untested) — contributors wanted, porting guide in #13

Fly loud. 🛫

Agent Tarmac v0.2.2

Quieter cockpit, prettier dogfights.

• Notification sanity: a session now has to be quiet for 20 seconds (not 3) before it counts as needing you — tool runs and thinking pauses no longer spam your notification center — plus a 10-minute per-session cooldown on both the banner and the radar ping. Real permission prompts still alert instantly.
• Ship & enemy art: the delta-wing gets a gradient hull, canopy glint, flickering engine flame and banking tilt; every enemy type now has a legible silhouette — gray darts, amber zigzaggers, red-nosed divers, chunky twin-hull tanks. Pre-rendered sprites keep it at 60fps.

If your app is open: Home's footer should offer this update within a day, or relaunch and it'll know within 10 seconds. 🛬

Agent Tarmac v0.2.1

Tarmac Defense found its voice.

• Game sound effects, all synthesized in-code (no audio files): soft laser blips, explosions, boss thunks, a warm beacon tone on wave clear, and a proper game-over dirge
• Mute that sticks: press M in-game or click the speaker icon — your choice persists across launches
• The notification radar ping is unaffected by the game mute (separate concerns, on purpose)
• Fresh dense-fleet hero demo in the README

If you're on v0.2.0: this release is also your update banner's first live test — Home should offer v0.2.1 within a day. 🛬
