v0.20.0
What's new
- Projects on a MicroVM or a server reached over SSH — clone a project onto either one. It comes with the AI and what the project needs, and appears as a row on the board.
- A folder there works like a folder here — the file list, search by name and by content, the editor, the git panel, pull requests, worktrees, attaching a file, and the AI that machine has.
- A MicroVM pauses instead of ending — untouched, it pauses; typing into one of its terminals wakes it. Its AI comes back on its conversation when the app restarts.
- A terminal on a server whose connection drops opens again once the server answers.
- "Have the AI start the server" — the AI on that machine reads the project, installs what is missing and starts it in a tab of its own. Its ports open in a browser tab here: over SSH for a server, by a public URL for a MicroVM.
- Worktree Creation Rules, a page per project — where its worktrees go (beside the checkout, the app's place, or a folder you pick) and what they inherit from the ignored files: copied, copied with names replaced, linked or left out.
- Set up with AI — the assistant AI proposes a choice for each ignore line with a reason, and shows every change before anything is saved.
- "Add a project" works from a phone.
- Instructions to the AIs are in English only, and they answer in the screen's language.
Which copy do you want?
Most people want the Microsoft Store version:
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PB8XQVM87Z0
Microsoft signs the Store copy, so Windows raises no warning when it starts,
and it updates itself. It can trail a release here by a few days while it is
reviewed.
The download below is the portable copy. Same version, same source, same
build — but it is not code-signed, so the first run shows
"Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen). Click More info → Run anyway
to get past it.
Take this one if you want nothing installed: unzip it anywhere, and delete the
folder to remove it.
