v0.2.0

Run AI coding agents in parallel, one git worktree each, from your desktop, browser, or phone.

This is the first big release since 0.0.1 and it touches nearly everything.

Highlights

One backend everywhere. Desktop and web now share the same server core. Terminal sessions live on the server, so they survive page reloads, window switches, and dropped connections. Close the tab, come back, your agent is still working.

Fleet status. See every agent at a glance: working, needs input, or done. A ding plays when an agent finishes or asks a question, so you can stop babysitting terminals.

Browser preview. When your agent starts a dev server, VibeTree detects the URL and can open the app in a preview pane right next to the terminal. Code on the left, running app on the right.

Changes dock. Review the diff without leaving the worktree. Staged and unstaged views, a maximize mode for real reviews, and a switch to flip between changes and preview. Select a file and send a note straight to the agent as a prompt.

Works on your phone. The web app is an installable PWA. Pair with a QR code and check on your agents from the couch.

New

• Agent presets: drop an agent command in .vibetree/config.json and launch it with one click
• vibetree CLI: list, add, and remove worktrees, check status, and run an agent from any terminal
• Worktree lifecycle hooks: .vibetree/hooks/post-create and pre-remove for setup and cleanup scripts
• Server directory picker: browse the server and discover repos when opening a project from the web
• Keyboard shortcuts for new worktree, switching worktrees, and toggling changes, shown in menus and on the welcome screen
• Onboarding for first run on desktop and a redesigned welcome screen with recent projects
• Unified titlebar on desktop with window controls blended into the app, Linear style
• Refreshed design: compact monochrome UI, consistent spacing, cleaner dialogs
• Toasts, loading skeletons, and a live session indicator

Fixed

• Keystrokes no longer duplicate when a worktree has multiple terminals
• Terminal resize is smooth and correct with split terminals, plus draggable split dividers
• pnpm dev:desktop no longer fails with spawn npx EACCES
• Git status parsing no longer miscounts files with unstaged-only changes
• Terminal output no longer overflows or hugs the pane border

Install

Grab the build for your platform from the assets below: dmg or zip for macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), exe for Windows, AppImage or deb for Linux.

macOS note: builds are not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID. If macOS blocks the app, right-click it and choose Open, or run:

xattr -cr /Applications/VibeTree.app

To run from source: pnpm install && pnpm dev:desktop, or pnpm dev:all for the server and web app.
