Beacon 0.12.4

• Drag Beacon without losing your place: the pill now stays still while a quiet screen preview highlights where it will land.
• Dock Beacon vertically or horizontally in any corner, including vertically in the bottom-right.

Beacon 0.12.3

• First launch now sets older inactive sessions aside as quiet history; resuming one brings it back automatically.
• A new hands-on walkthrough connects Beacon, proves an exact-session return, and teaches the lights, gear, and work timer by doing.
• Large Claude Desktop histories refresh with much less CPU work.

Beacon 0.12.3-beta.5

• Onboarding now ends with a hands-on practice pill: hover a light, open the gear, and try play/pause while each move checks itself off.

Beacon 0.12.3-beta.4

This beta tightens Beacon’s first-run experience and performance on Macs with existing agent history.

• Older inactive sessions are set aside as quiet history on first launch. If you resume one later, it returns to Beacon automatically.
• Setup stays in front, buttons respond on the first click, and the walkthrough visibly advances as soon as Beacon finds a real session.
• Large Claude Desktop histories refresh with much less CPU work.

Beacon 0.12.3-beta.3

• First launch now sets old inactive sessions aside as quiet history instead of filling the pill with a wall of lights; resuming one brings it back automatically.
• Setup stays in front while you open other apps, responds on the first click, and advances as soon as it finds a real session.
• Large Claude Desktop histories now refresh with much less CPU work.

Beacon 0.12.3-beta.2

• First launch now sets old inactive sessions aside as quiet history instead of filling the pill with a wall of lights; resuming one brings it back automatically.
• Setup now stays in front while you open Claude, Codex, or System Settings, and advances as soon as it finds a real session.
• Large Claude Desktop histories now refresh with much less CPU work.

Beacon 0.12.3-beta.1

• First launch now sets old inactive sessions aside as quiet history instead of filling the pill with a wall of lights; resuming one brings it back automatically.
• A new three-act setup explains the lights, checks Claude and Accessibility in place, and proves Beacon can return you to a real session.
• Large Claude Desktop histories now refresh with much less CPU work.

Beacon 0.12.2

• Available updates now stay visible as a yellow sparkle beside the pill until you install or skip them, including after a restart or failed download.

Beacon 0.12.1

• Hover over the corner pill for a gear that opens sessions, history, settings, and controls.
• Opening Beacon from Applications or Spotlight now brings that same window forward when macOS hides its menu-bar item.

Beacon 0.12.0

• Beacon has a new graphite pilot-light design, with clearer idle, working, waiting, and ready-to-close states at every size.
• Switching between Claude and Codex now keeps the focus ring on the session actually in front, and automatic handoffs no longer drift to another app.
• Delegated agents stay grouped under their parent session, with a live count for background work and more detail on hover or in the session list.
• Hidden or continued sessions return when real work restarts, and stopping a work timer now responds immediately while its report finishes loading.
