claude-code-ui 1.0.0

npx claude-code-ui@latest

Installed copies update themselves when idle.

Highlights

• Panes everywhere. Plan, Files, Git graph, the terminal, a single file, an artifact and a session can each sit in the side panel, the bottom panel or as a main-area tab. Drag a pane tab to move it. Split view shows a session beside one of its panes. #395 #396 #397 #398 #399 #400 #401 #402
• Nested repositories and submodules. Found like VS Code (Settings › Git). A repository selector picks what Changes and the Git graph show, with fetch, push and pull per repository; the file tree marks each file by its own repository. #388 #389 #390 #391 #392 #393
• Aside. /btw asks a side question in a floating popup, also while the turn runs; keep it as a session. #465
• Background shells. Move a running Bash or ! command to the background (Ctrl+Shift+B); a list shows live output with Kill. #440 #442 #485
• Themes. Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Solarized, Nord, Dracula and One. #468

Added

• Artifact browser lists the artifacts a session published. #176
• Large pastes collapse into a Pasted text block. #441
• ! commands sent during a turn are queued. #443
• New worktrees copy gitignored files listed in .worktreeinclude. #439
• Copy path on project and worktree rows. #456
• Focus page: usage-limit row, nested worker rows, optional Next for you chip. #305
• Orchestration: start a worker by project or worktree name; optional daemon-wide worker limit. #457 #484

Changed

• Files tab restores editor tabs and unsaved drafts after reload. #366
• Clean up scans fast and counts squash-merged worktrees as Safe; Remove worktree runs in the background. #461 #462 #463
• WSL and Docker sides reuse a qualifying Node.js and come back with the hub on their own. #458 #464

Fixed

• Jira token bound to its host, never sent over http, kept out of the log. #451 #487
• Create worktree edge cases (long names, key-like searches, stale branch lists). #452 #453 #460 #486
• Theme contrast in every theme, light and dark. #468
• Focus, terminal, split view, Settings and Markdown table fixes. #308 #444 #455 #490 #498 #499 #500 #501 #504 #505

claude-code-ui 0.8.0

npx claude-code-ui@latest

Installed copies update themselves when idle.

Highlights

• Create a worktree from a Jira ticket, a branch or a name. The branch-plus button opens a modal: pick a ticket and get a branch named after it, check out an existing local or remote branch, or type any name. Paste a pull request link to find its branch. #447
• Docker containers need nothing installed. On Linux x86_64 or arm64 with glibc 2.28+, your computer downloads Node.js, the terminal support and Claude Code once, checks them and copies one file in: no Node.js, npm, network or build tools in the container. #446
• Faster WSL installs. A WSL distro installs from the same checked parts, with no npm, network or compile in the distro: about 10 to 15 seconds the first time, about a second after an update.

Added

• Create worktree modal with Ticket, Branch and Name sources and a Base for a new branch; Shift+click still creates one at once. #447
• Pasted pull request links (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Server) and ticket links or keys list the matching branches. #447
• Settings › Jira: URL, email, token (kept on the daemon's computer only), branch template and Ticket filter (JQL). Jira Cloud and Data Center. #447

Changed

• Docker: bundle install for glibc containers; Alpine and other CPUs install with npm as before, and the dialog says why. Open project lists What this container needs with ✓ or ✗. #446
• WSL: bundle install from the cached parts for glibc distros; musl distros use npm as before.
• WSL and Docker: the side check no longer looks for a Claude login; a session started without one says so.
• Deleting a worktree deletes every branch claude-ui created for it. #447

Full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

claude-code-ui 0.7.1

npx claude-code-ui@latest

Installed copies update themselves when idle.

Highlights

• No more jump after the first message. The New session tab shows the side and bottom panels of its project, so sending the first message keeps the layout as it is. #430
• The terminal waits to be asked. A remembered terminal shows only where shells are running, and a shell starts only when you open the terminal. #430

Changed

• New session tab (from 1024px): Files, Graph and Terminal work for the draft's project; Changes shows "No changes yet"; switching the project moves the panels. #430
• Terminal: no shell is started on a reload, a session or project switch or a reconnect, and a terminal that shows on its own never takes the focus. #430
• Compact tab groups: the chip's hover menu lists only the group's tabs; Move, Clean up and Close are in its right-click menu. #431

Fixed

• Terminal buttons in the titlebar and the side panel: terminal icon and a quiet pressed style, also in dark mode. #430 #434
• Phone: a long project name in the New session tab's project chip ends with "…" instead of being cut off. #435

Full changelog: CHANGELOG.md

claude-code-ui 0.7.0

npx claude-code-ui@latest

Installed copies update themselves when idle.

Highlights

• Movable panes. Changes, Files, Git graph and Terminal can live in the side or bottom panel. Drag a tab or use its menu to move it. #355 #374 #381
• Terminal at the bottom by default, resizable and maximizable. #354
• Split view. Two sessions side by side or stacked, on screens 1024px and wider. #356

Added

Tabs and sidebar

• Right-click menus on projects, worktrees, workers and sessions: new session, archive idle, close or remove workers. #358

Changed

• Phone: your first message in a new session stays on that session. #417
