Kommandr 0.0.1

[0.0.1] - 2026-08-27

Highlights

• First public alpha of the Kommandr desktop app: signed and notarized macOS builds for Apple silicon and Intel, with in-app updates from here on.
• The subscription screen shows the real price, the yearly option, and everything Kommandr includes.
• Team owners and staff are no longer shown the "subscription has ended" screen, and get an Owner or Staff badge in the footer.
• Task Runner sessions start with the epic's description, the branch state, and the previous task's handoff note instead of rediscovering them from the repo.
• Task Runner agents now write their own handoff notes, aimed at whoever picks up the next task.

New Features

• The subscription screen now shows what Kommandr includes — planning board, Task Runner, Live Editor, git client, phone control, and every supported coding agent — instead of a bare button.
• Every Task Runner session now starts with the epic's own description — its rules, the decisions already made, and where the design lives — instead of just the epic's title, so a fresh session after a context reset (or a task run on its own) no longer rediscovers the brief from the repo.
• Task Runner agents now write their own handoff note when they close a task, aimed at the next task in the epic and ending with what to read first. The note used to be generated afterwards by a smaller model from a cut-down recording of the session; that path remains as the fallback when the agent leaves no note.
• Every fresh Task Runner session starts with the branch, the commits on it, and the working-tree state already in hand instead of running git to find out.

Fixes

• The subscription screen quoted a stale $20/month; it now shows the real price (and yearly option) from billing.
• Owners of the Kommandr team were shown the "subscription has ended" screen; they are now treated like staff, and team accounts show an Owner or Staff badge in the footer where the trial countdown would be.
• A Task Runner handoff note silently shrank to a bare list of files whenever the task's output contained a NUL byte; the full note is written again.
