Conterm 2.3.2

22 Jun 22:21

Choose a tag to compare

Fixed

  • Closing a pane no longer crashes the renderer. The libghostty surface is now freed only after its view leaves the window, so a CoreAnimation commit can no longer drive a freed surface's layer during the close animation.

Install

Download Conterm-2.3.2.dmg, drag to Applications. Ad-hoc signed: first launch → right-click → Open → Open. If macOS still refuses: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Conterm.app

Conterm 2.3.1

22 Jun 22:04

Fixed

  • Audio no longer aborts the app when the output device resumes after sleep/wake or a device change. The launch chime and UI sound effects recover instead of terminating.

Added

  • Diagnostic logging toggle in Settings → Config, writing to ~/Library/Logs/Conterm/conterm.log with a reveal-in-Finder button. Off by default; a development aid.

Conterm 2.3.0

22 Jun 01:19

Choose a tag to compare

Fixed

  • Crash on wake after a long lock — rendering now pauses across sleep/wake and resumes once the display is back.
  • Esc on a thinking agent now shows "interrupted" instead of leaving the pill stuck.

Changed

  • The window-material control is now labeled "Window" (Glass / Solid).
  • Removed the "Battery saving" toggle — it flattened the glass when unfocused but saved nothing in the opaque-tiles design; the glass simply stays put now.
  • Refreshed app icon.
  • Unified agent wording across the pill and palette (thinking · ready · needs you · interrupted).

Added

  • A color picker for the new-tab + button.
  • A per-tab status dot that surfaces a background agent (thinking / needs you).

Conterm 2.2.0

17 Jun 12:17

Choose a tag to compare

Added

  • Liquid Glass redesign — the window is one sheet of Liquid Glass over the desktop; panes sit on top as opaque tiles, so glass shows only in the top bar and the gaps between panes.
  • Glass / Solid switch, plus Solid panes, Battery saving, Glass panels, and Efficient rendering controls in Settings and the Welcome wizard.
  • Action-pill accent picker — Mono / Red / Orange / Green / Blue / Purple / Pink; a colour also lights the new-tab +.
  • Collapsible pane title pill — click to shrink it to a compact capsule showing just the logo and its ⌥N keybind.
  • Finder glyph for the Open in Finder command.
  • New app icon.

Changed

  • Glass reads clear by default; overlay panels are solid cards (the command palette is solid black) unless Glass panels is on.
  • Command-palette suggestion bubbles are rounder, with larger icons.

Fixed

  • Black-line artifacts around the active tab and the pane chips.
  • The "needs you" agent pill no longer pulses forever — it clears when you focus its pane or after 30 seconds; the notification stays.
  • The battery flatten no longer triggers on brief scrolling, and the glass transitions crossfade instead of snapping.

Performance

  • Coalesced libghostty wakeups and dropped redundant pwd/title re-renders.
  • The sound engine now runs only around playback, ending a continuous idle-wakeup drain.
  • Live glass drops to a solid backdrop while the window is hidden or a pane is streaming, keeping fanless Macs cool.

Conterm 2.1.0

14 Jun 00:36

Added

  • Low-power glass — the agent pill and overlay panels render as a flat, static frost instead of live Liquid Glass. On by default; toggle in Settings and the welcome wizard.

Changed

  • Liquid Glass overlays is disabled while Low-power glass is on.

Fixed

  • Sustained GPU heat and battery drain while an agent is working or the command palette is open, on fanless laptops.

Changed

  • New app icon: glass prompt tile with red and gray panes bleeding off the edges.

Conterm 2.0.0

12 Jun 01:09

Choose a tag to compare

Added

  • Unified ⌘K search: one query reaches commands, SSH hosts (recents first), the active pane's most recently modified files, shell history, and notes.
  • Live calculator in the search bar: arithmetic, 0x/0b/0o literals, re-basing (255 in hex), and unit conversion across data sizes, time, length, mass, volume, and temperature.
  • Suggestion tray under the search bar: five picks ranked by use with recency decay; ←/→ walk the tray, ↓ drops into the command list.
  • Agents palette mode: jump to any running agent in any window, needs-you first, with live status rows.
  • Switch sounds for tabs and panes, in the existing sound families.

Changed

  • Command palette and Settings present as detached glass bubbles with a floating input bar.
  • The bell / search / ⌘K cluster wears a flat Conterm-red pill with white icons; an Appearance toggle returns it to monochrome glass.
  • System-stats widget: taller monochrome pill with sparklines and a compact variant for the vertical sidebar; load colors stay in the popover.
  • Settings: SF-bold section headers, larger sidebar list, looser card spacing.
  • A custom robot mark represents agents in the palette and settings.

Fixed

  • The search field takes keyboard focus immediately on ⌘K.
  • Palette and Settings play their closing animation above the terminal instead of vanishing.
  • Vertical sidebar fits at its minimum width; tab pills sit clear of the window edge and the traffic-lights pill.

Conterm 1.2.2

11 Jun 20:11

Choose a tag to compare

Fixed

  • Panes in hidden tabs and covered, minimized, or other-Space windows pause their renderer; streaming output no longer burns CPU and compositor time off-screen.
  • The last frame produced while a pane was hidden is drawn on re-show.
  • Surface teardown pauses the renderer instead of resuming it (inverted occlusion flag).

Conterm 1.2.1

08 Jun 19:14

Choose a tag to compare

Fixed

  • The agent pill no longer keeps animating while Conterm is in the background, ending a continuous GPU and battery drain.
  • The pill no longer false-flips to "ready" mid-turn during a silent tool call.
  • UI sound effects survive an audio device or route change instead of going silent until relaunch.

Changed

  • Terminal repaints are coalesced to 60fps, cutting compositor cost while an agent streams or a TUI animates.

Added

  • Drag files or images onto a pane to paste their shell-quoted path at the cursor.

Conterm 1.2.0

04 Jun 10:48

Choose a tag to compare

Added

  • Command markers: a result chip when a command fails or runs a while, a notification when a long command finishes while you're away, and ⌘↑/⌘↓ to jump between shell prompts.
  • Automatic updates from GitHub — a Liquid Glass update pill in the toolbar and a Check for Updates command. Toggle off in Settings → Config.
  • Backup and restore your sessions, app settings, and Conterm + Ghostty config (Settings → Config).
  • Hide commands you don't use from the ⌘K palette (Settings → Palette).

Changed

  • Rounder command palette corners.

Fixed

  • The command palette scrolls with the mouse wheel and trackpad two-finger.
  • Split-pane dividers resize smoothly on both axes and no longer drag the window.
