Trek 0.4.49

Memory

• Trek now keeps what a session holds by how much it weighs, and lets go of what isn't on screen: parsed answers, pictures, shaped text and page snapshots. A heavy session that reached 3.6 GB now peaks around 340–450 MB and settles near 200 MB a few minutes later.
• A picture you scrolled far past, or in a thread you left more than five minutes ago, is read again when it's shown: its box is empty for about a tenth of a second.

iPhone

• Long-press a picture to save it to Photos, copy it or share it.
• A sub-agent's approval, question or plan shows on its parent thread and is answered there.
• /side opens a thread's side chat as a sheet, without leaving the thread.
• The app's own caches use less memory.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.49-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.49-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.49-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.49-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)
• Windows: run Trek-Setup-x86_64.exe. It installs for you alone and asks for no administrator. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates. (Trek-0.4.49-windows-x86_64.zip is the same app without an installer: unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek, not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files, and run trek.exe.)

Trek 0.4.48

Computer use in the background

• An app that takes the front when an agent opens it (Chrome does) is put back behind your window at once, and your app keeps the keyboard. It used to stay in front. Measured with Chrome: in front for about a tenth of a second on a cold launch, and not at all for a new window.
• Switching to the agent's app yourself (the app switcher, a Dock click, a click on its window) is always left alone: it's yours to use.

iPhone tool

• Agents read the iPhone's screen in the same list form as computer use and the Simulator.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.48-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.48-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.48-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.48-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)
• Windows: Trek-0.4.48-windows-x86_64.zip. Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.47

iPhone tool

• The picture keeps up: Trek Driver now pushes the iPhone's screen as it changes, instead of being asked for one picture at a time. In a simulator that went from about 2 pictures a second to about 25, and a swipe shows in about a tenth of a second. If the stream brings nothing on your iPhone, the tool goes back to pictures as before.
• Agents can read what's on the iPhone's screen as a list of its controls, tap one by name, and wait for something to show, instead of guessing from screenshots.

Computer use and the Simulator

• Agents read a window's controls as a list and act on them by reference: press a button or a menu item with no pointer and no focus, type into a named field, and wait for text to appear. The same for the iOS Simulator.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.47-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.47-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.47-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.47-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)
• Windows: Trek-0.4.47-windows-x86_64.zip. Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.46

Sub-agents

• A sub-agent's approval, question or plan shows on its parent's thread, above the composer, under "Sub-agent “…” is asking", and is answered there. No more scrolling back to where it started and opening it in a window. Open it takes you to the sub-agent.

Full access

• A thread at Full access, and the sub-agents working for it, no longer stop for an approval their agent still asks for (Claude Code asks about some paths even with its checks bypassed): it's allowed as it comes. Questions, plans, secrets, the Browser's own asks and anything a permission rule says to ask about still come to you.

Simulator

• No more crash report each time a simulator shuts down while Trek is open.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.46-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.46-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.46-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.46-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)

Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.45

Attach photos, videos and files

• Mac: the composer's + has Photos & videos…, macOS's own Photos picker as a sheet, beside Files…. Videos and files sit on the attachment strip as tiles (a video with its first frame and a play badge, a file with its icon, name and size) instead of a long path in the text.
• A sent message shows its files as chips under it and plays its video, instead of the path.
• iPhone: + has Photos & Videos and Files. Videos and files go to the Mac in pieces, with progress on the strip, up to 2 GB each, and reach the agent as they do from the Mac.

iPhone

• A question, approval or plan answered on the Mac while the phone was away no longer waits there as if unanswered.
• Answering a card takes it away at once, with a haptic, and the buttons give as they're pressed. Sending, Stop, and errors have haptics too.
• Toasts can be held or flicked away; errors stay a little longer.
• Pulling a photo down to close follows your finger, shows the thread behind it and goes with the flick.
• New messages fade in at the bottom instead of popping.

Threads

• A thread started with a file attached is titled by what you wrote, not the file's path.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.45-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.45-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.45-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.45-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)

Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.44

Sidebar

• An Inbox under Basecamp, Notes and Study: first what needs you (an approval, a question, a plan, a failure, failing checks, a turn cut short), each with why under its title, then threads that finished while you were elsewhere, with an emerald dot. Mark all read clears the finished ones; opening one reads it and it goes back to its project.
• No more Active, Pinned and Snoozed sections: a thread at work stays in its project with its elapsed time, pinned ones lead their project, snoozed ones show a clock.
• Every count and time lines up on one right-hand column, a machine's count included.

iPhone tool

• Swipes play at a finger's pace when you let go, so the phone answers at once, a flick turns the page all the way, and a slow drag scrolls without flinging.
• Swiping from an edge works: up from the bottom goes Home (rest partway for the App Switcher), in from the left goes back, down from the top opens Notification Center. A home bar at the foot of the picture goes Home on a click.
• The picture refreshes about three times as often while you touch the phone, and screenshots no longer hold up the next gesture.

Agents

• Updating Devin from Trek on a Mac works: it no longer stops with "code 130".

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.44-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.44-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.44-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.44-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)

Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.43

iPhone tool

• Use the phone from the Mac: a click holds as long as you hold it (long-press menus work), a drag follows your mouse's path, trackpad scrolling scrolls the phone, and clicking the screen lets you type on it with your Mac's keyboard (Escape or a click elsewhere gives the keys back).
• A dot and a trail show where you touch; the frame turns blue while typing goes to the phone.
• Touching the phone while an agent uses it takes it back, as Stop does.

iPhone

• Threads leads with what needs you, in its own block, then Pinned, Active and your projects, with every thread's state at the start of its row. Each project shows once across your machines.
• The Threads list no longer slides up and down by itself.
• Settings opens on what this iPhone is connected to and how, with a page per machine showing its agents, plans and what's left of their limits; plus Notifications, Approvals and security, Storage, Privacy and feedback, and when the app's signing runs out.
• Trek's text size reaches sheets, and a few buttons and switches read properly in dark mode.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.43-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.43-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again. It asks only once. (Trek-0.4.43-darwin-aarch64.app.tar.gz and Trek-0.4.43-darwin-x86_64.app.tar.gz are the same apps as archives: unpack yours and move Trek.app to Applications.)

Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.42

Fixes

• The Browser's page no longer goes black when you click into the chat with a /, @ or a path in your draft.
• The chips over the composer hold still while a turn runs.
• Settings → Privacy shows Trek's project key shortened, with a note saying what it is: it's in every copy of Trek and can only add events.

iPhone tool

• Taps and the screen work over Wi-Fi with no cable: Trek now reaches Trek Driver on the iPhone's network address.

Windows

• Liquid glass's Clear end is see-through, and the window menu is back.

iPhone

• The buttons at the top of a thread hold still: the "Running…" shimmer no longer sets them bobbing.

Install

• macOS (13 or later): download Trek-0.4.42-darwin-aarch64.dmg for Apple silicon or Trek-0.4.42-darwin-x86_64.dmg for an Intel Mac, open it and drag Trek onto Applications. Apple hasn't notarized Trek, so macOS won't open it the first time: click Done, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security scroll to Security, click Open Anyway beside "Trek was blocked" and Open Anyway again.

Unzip it into a folder of its own that Windows doesn't guard, such as C:\Users\<you>\Trek or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Trek (not Documents, Desktop, Downloads or Program Files), and run trek.exe. SmartScreen warns once: More info, then Run anyway. Updates install in place from Settings → Updates.

Trek 0.4.41

Agents

• Trek's own agent is rebuilt: it retries what's worth retrying, repairs broken tool calls, edits more reliably, searches with grep and glob, uses your MCP servers, compacts long threads and stops when it loops.
• Several accounts for Claude Code and Codex: pick one in the model menu, and each thread stays on its own login. The Usage card has a row per account.
• Rules in Settings → Permissions decide what agents may run, edit or fetch without asking, and a deny holds even at Full access.
• An agent can ask for a token on a masked card; it never reaches the transcript, the logs or the phone.
• A turn cut short when Trek closed offers Resume.
• Claude Code's usage waits for its slow answer and keeps the last reading instead of timing out.

Threads and reviews

• Two threads side by side: right-click a thread and choose Open beside, or press ⌘\ (Ctrl+\ on Windows).
• Comment on a diff's lines and send the comments to the agent as one message.
• Queued messages can be moved, edited and removed while the agent works.
• A pull request with a failing check offers Send to agent, with the check's log.
• Coming from Conductor, T3 Code or Orca: Settings → Import Threads brings their worktrees over as projects and threads.

Sidebar and look

• The sidebar is in sections: Needs you, Active, Projects with their badges, Study, Devices (your other Macs and your iPhone) and Settled. Every row starts with its state.
• Needs you holds only what waits on you; a finished thread stays in its project with an unread dot.
• One set of text sizes and corners throughout, a sharper title-bar mark and app icon at small sizes, a redrawn hiker, and plainer wording.
• Red buttons in Night are easier to read.

Background use

• An agent leaves the app you're in alone while you're at the Mac, even if you're only reading.
• It never opens a second copy of an app, and a window on another Space stays its own.

Feedback and privacy

• Help → Send Feedback… reports a bug or an idea, and shows everything it would send first.
• Trek asks once whether to share anonymous usage data and crash reports. Nothing is sent unless you say yes; Settings → Privacy lists exactly what goes and lets you change your mind.

Intel Macs

• Trek now builds for Intel Macs too.

Windows

• Trek's title bar buttons read apart from the window's own, and menus clear the Browser.
• Liquid glass reads over anything behind it, in HDR and when the window is inactive.

iPhone

• A Live Activity shows the thread at work and lets you answer a simple approval from the Lock Screen.
• Comment on a diff's lines, larger text throughout, and Send feedback in Settings.

Install

Trek 0.4.40

Windows

• Trek's components follow Windows 11's look, on opaque windows.
• Installing an agent works on a computer without Node.js: Trek's own setup commands get past PowerShell's script policy, for that process only.
• Trek carries the Visual C++ runtime, so it starts on a Windows without the redistributable.
• An npm left behind with no Node to run it no longer counts as found, and no connection gets a plain message and Try again.

iPhone

• The context card stays usable with the keyboard up.
• Tapping an attached photo opens it full screen.
