Brainwrite 2.0.14

Brainwrite 2.0.14 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

• Color my messages. In a one-to-one chat, your messages can take a deeper shade of the bot's color, and each bot's name above its replies uses its color. Turn it on in Settings → Appearance.
• A Data tab in the Computer panel. A bot loads files, links or databases into tables, runs SQL, and builds tables and charts you can page through, filter, export and query yourself.
• Routines can also run when Brainwrite starts, for a computer that is often off when a routine is due. Turn on Also run when Brainwrite starts in a repeating routine's Advanced options; its runs show as On startup.
• New chat at the top of the + menu starts a chat with any bot.
• Run a bot's skills from the / menu, and write your own with Write a command in a bot's Skills settings.
• Choose your send key: Enter, Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Enter, in Settings → Appearance.
• Links that open a chat. A chat's Copy link now opens that exact chat from a browser or another app.
• A link for each thread. The newest GitHub pull request or issue in a reply shows on the thread's row; right-click any link in a reply to assign it yourself.
• GitHub links show as compact pills, and every web link in a reply shows a preview when you hover over it.
• A "new" divider marks where unread messages start, and Mark all conversations as read is in a bot's menu.
• Brainwrite reopens the conversation you had open last time.
• Environments on this computer: separate setups, each with its own bots, conversations and data folder, in Settings → Computers → Servers.
• New thread in a working folder… (Advanced mode) starts a conversation in a folder you choose.
• My Cloud starts by asking what it should do while you're away, then sets itself up from your answer. You can skip it.
• Add a Cloud… in the server menu shows the Brainwrite Cloud plan. If you already have My Cloud, you can ask for an email when you can add another.
• Live calls leave a record: one row in the chat per call, with its length, the steps the bot took and the permission requests it raised. The voice's own words are not saved.
• More engines and models: Cline, Groq (Settings → API keys) and Claude Haiku 5.5.
• The phone web app can be added to your home screen.
• Japanese is complete, and typing with an input method, as in Japanese, no longer sends a half-written message.
• Bots know the current time on every message.
• A bot can ask a question with several answers to tick, and can deliver a file it saved outside the chat's folders.
• Your chief of staff can suggest adding a missing specialist, through the team setup card.

Changed

• Live calls need an active Brainwrite Cloud plan. Without one, the Live button explains this instead of starting a call.
• Full access turns on at once, with no confirmation, and stays on when a bot changes engine. Custom still returns to Ask.
• One compact card for questions, key requests and sign-ins. A single choice sends with one tap, or press its letter.
• Quieter message actions: reply, copy and … appear when you point at a message; … holds read aloud, raw markdown, regenerate and pin.
• Work your bots hand to each other now survives a restart, a question waiting on you is shown once, and an approval nobody answered is reported as not done.
• A bot your chief of staff creates goes through the team setup card unless the chief has Full access.
• Files a reply delivers show as compact pills under its text.
• Compact bot rows with a plain-text preview, one account menu at every sidebar width, an update button beside your account while an update downloads, and a Tools header that folds Routines, Triggers and the team map.
• Apps open as a catalog you can browse by category.
• Scrolling up loads earlier messages by itself.
• The working label changes with what the bot is doing.
• Errors read as one plain line, with the details underneath, and a cancelled reply shows as a quiet stop with Retry.
• Files shows the conversation's own working folder, and files a reply shared can be saved from recent changes.
• Text renders like the rest of macOS, accent colors are richer on wide-color displays, every clickable control shows a pointer, and the window drags from every view's top bar.
• A bot's profile opens to the section you last viewed.

Fixed

• With threads hidden, every reply lands in your chat, and a side thread you open shows Back to your chat.
• A room can work in several threads at once.
• A Claude bot past its usage limit says which limit and when it resets, and recovers by itself when its session is lost. Update Claude for me now updates the copy Brainwrite installed.
• Screenshots a bot takes on its computer no longer pile up on its final reply.
• Bots using this computer, a local VM or a VPS no longer stop at random while waiting for the computer, and an unreachable VPS no longer fails a chat.
• The built-in browser no longer locks after a page that won't open or a slow action, closes when Brainwrite quits, and shows its preview faster.
• Codex bots no longer ask you to approve Brainwrite's own coordination tools.
• Signing in to an MCP server such as Google Sheets works, and signed-in servers refresh their access together before a reply.
• A missing working folder is named as missing, instead of the engine being called not installed.
• A provider's own error is shown, for example when Grok runs out of credits.
• A routine whose schedule can't be read, or a routines or webhooks file that can't be read, is never overwritten.
• Memory capture waits across a restart, and engines such as Cursor and Antigravity capture memory too.
• Your personal Claude instructions file (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) stays out of bots' context.
• Cursor no longer opens repeated browser sign-ins when it has a key, and its effort models run as chosen.
• A connected app's missing-permission note appears only on calls that failed.
• Setting up a new bot picks a connected model by itself.
• A link outside the chat's working folder says why it can't be saved, and a picture a bot delivered shows in its reply.
• Long code blocks and messages with math load faster.
