v0.2.2

Full Changelog: v0.2.1...v0.2.2

v0.2.1

Fixes

• MCP server now works in the packaged app. Previous releases registered the MCP server at a path inside app.asar, which plain node cannot read — so Claude Code sessions started while running a packaged build got no session-manager tools (memory, todos, spawn, canvas, wiki). The app bundle now ships unpacked. This affected every release since v0.1.0; if you use a packaged build, this upgrade is strongly recommended.

Installing on macOS

Homebrew (recommended):

brew tap ryj-dev/tap
brew trust ryj-dev/tap    # Homebrew ≥ 6 requires trusting third-party taps
brew install --cask session-manager

The app is unsigned; the cask strips macOS's quarantine flag automatically after install so it launches normally.

Direct download: a browser-downloaded DMG will be blocked by Gatekeeper with a misleading "Session Manager is damaged" message — clear the quarantine flag after copying the app to Applications:

xattr -cr "/Applications/Session Manager.app"

Highlights

Agentic pipeline (Cmd+L)

Turn a backlog todo into autonomous multi-session work: an orchestrator plans → implements → fans out reviewers and loops review⇄fix until it passes. Kanban board (Backlog → Plan → Implement → Review → Done), per-task git-worktree isolation with merge-back, stage hand-off artifacts, per-role tool scoping, and three autonomy levels (auto / gated / manual).

Scheduled tasks (Cmd+J)

Saved prompts fired into fresh unattended sessions on flexible triggers — app launch, first-of-day, interval, or daily — with a per-task model picker, resumable run history, and login-failure recovery.

Canvas

Agents answer with UI artifacts instead of terminal text: sortable/filterable tables, markdown reports, and annotated screenshots (circles/boxes/arrows/labels, relative coordinates — no measuring). User-pasted images auto-display at send time; identical re-emits dedupe into a focus.

Feature wiki + MCP access

18 in-repo articles documenting every feature, bundled with the app and served to agents via three new MCP tools: list-wiki-articles, read-wiki-article, search-wiki (hybrid keyword + semantic). The installable CLAUDE.md block now points agents at the wiki instead of guessing.

Fixes & polish

• Terminal: full repaint after fit() — no more blank content when the canvas opens
• Pipeline: idempotent completion, merge-contingent Done, worktree cleanup on task removal
• MCP server instructions expanded to the full 46-tool surface

Installing on macOS

Homebrew (recommended):

brew install --cask session-manager

The app is unsigned; the cask strips macOS's quarantine flag automatically after install so it launches normally.

Direct download: a browser-downloaded DMG will be blocked by Gatekeeper with a misleading "Session Manager is damaged and can't be opened" message. It isn't damaged — clear the quarantine flag after copying the app to Applications:

xattr -cr "/Applications/Session Manager.app"

v0.1.2

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.1.2

v0.1.0 — first release

First public build of Session Manager — a desktop app for managing multiple Claude Code sessions.

Install (macOS Apple Silicon)

Download the DMG, open it, and drag Session Manager to Applications.

The app is unsigned, so on first launch macOS will block it. To get past Gatekeeper:

• Right-click the app → Open → confirm in the dialog, OR
• After the block, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → click Open Anyway.

What's included

• Multi-session terminal management with PTY persistence and snapshot restore
• Force-directed graph view of sessions and split groups
• File explorer for spawning sessions in any directory
• Hook server for status/agent-spawn/inter-session messaging
• Memory knowledge base with semantic search (sqlite-vec + local embeddings)
• Notes & todos system
• 4 bundled agents, 2 skills, 60+ design system references
• Configurable hotkeys and project colors
• Split-view groups with N-ary container layout (live-preview reshape modal)

Known limitations

• macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) only for this release — Intel macs, Windows, and Linux will follow.
• Build is not code-signed or notarized — see install instructions above.
