CanvasTTY 0.8.2 — public preview

CanvasTTY turns real local terminals and AI-agent CLIs into a spatial desktop: a fixed Home zone for launchers, active sessions, provider limits, clock and media, plus a pannable canvas of live PTY cards.

Included

  • Real local PTYs backed by node-pty, rendered with xterm.js.
  • Codex, Claude and Kimi launch flows with project directories and Normal/YOLO profiles.
  • Movable and edge-resizable terminal cards, magnetic snapping, canvas pan/zoom and semantic zoom summaries.
  • Source-backed provider quota windows with explicit available, stale and unavailable states.
  • Electron context isolation, typed allow-listed IPC and local-only settings.
  • Repository documentation in English, Russian and Simplified Chinese, including widget and session-token telemetry authoring guides.

Downloads

  • Linux x64: AppImage or deb.
  • Windows x64: assisted setup or portable executable.
  • macOS Apple Silicon: dmg or zip.

Agent CLIs are not bundled. Install and authenticate the providers you want to use separately and keep them available in PATH.

Security and local data

Every platform job performs a clean locked install, high-confidence repository secret audit and the full test suite before packaging. The distributable uses an explicit production allowlist; source docs, local agent/planning context, .env, logs, settings and credentials are excluded.

Provider credentials remain in each installed CLI's local store and are read only in the trusted Electron main process. Raw credentials and provider responses never cross IPC.

Preview limitations

  • Packages are unsigned and not notarized, so Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may warn about an unknown developer.
  • Linux AppImage and live PTY flow were inspected interactively; Windows and macOS packages passed native CI builds but still need broader real-device UX validation.
  • macOS Intel packages are not included in this preview.
  • Custom widgets are source-level extensions; there is no runtime plugin registry yet.
