Renviel v1.0.0

What's new

New

• Session board: every session laid out by what it needs from you.
• Review changes: another account reads your changes and leaves its findings at their lines in the diff.
• Source control for each repository a session works in: commit, push and pull request per repository.
• Own branch: start from any branch and name it; files listed in .worktreeinclude (such as .env) are copied. Settings → Data lists branch folders and removes unused ones.
• Pick an element in the built-in browser and add it to your message.
• Customize: a Plugins tab for Claude Code and Codex, 99 skills and 12 more MCP servers.
• At a usage limit you choose which account continues.
• The handoff note carries more: every request, earlier replies, how files changed and the last failure.

Look

• Checkboxes, confirmations and tooltips in the app's own style.
• Round agent faces, and the new session screen has the sign-in screen's moving dots.
• Shorter texts, with the details on renviel.com.

Fixes

• Dictation says when macOS has Siri and Dictation turned off, and opens the right settings.

Renviel v0.0.11

What's new

What's new

• Updates you can't miss. A waiting update sits at the bottom of the sidebar until you install it, instead of a notice that disappears.
• Installs at the next launch. Close Renviel with an update waiting and it installs by itself the next time you open it.
• A clearer install. One window shows what's new, then each stage (download, install, restart) with a progress bar, and says plainly if something goes wrong.

Renviel v0.0.10

What's new

What's new

• Plain text in the chat. A step's request and output, error lines, check results and approval cards are written in the app's own font. Only code blocks, files and diffs keep the code font.
• Docs. docs.renviel.com explains each part of the app, from accounts and sessions to branches and scheduled tasks, and keeps these release notes.

Renviel v0.0.9

What's new

What's new

• A calmer working line. While the agent works, a plain line shows Renviel's own animated mark, the current step and the time and tokens, instead of a boxed pill with a tiny provider logo.
• Notifications that fit. A notification is as wide as what it says, with its text and button on one line.
• Tidier Settings. The branch folder options sit in one card instead of two touching ones.

Renviel v0.0.8

What's new

What's new

• What's new, inside the app. The profile menu's What's new opens the release notes in a window of their own instead of the browser.
• Docks that slide. The right and bottom panels open and close with a short slide, like the sidebar.
• A plainer model picker. Every effort level is named under the slider, the top level warns that it uses much more of your plan's limits, and the extra icons are gone.
• Usage as meters. Claude Code's /usage answer shows each limit as a bar with its reset time instead of a paragraph.
• Tidier chrome. The composer shows the account as its provider's mark (the name on hover), the profile row has one chevron and no extra gear, the bug handle on the window's edge is gone (Report a bug is in the profile menu), and agent faces glow round.

Renviel v0.0.7

What's new

What's new

• Visuals when you ask for them. Ask Claude Code or Codex for a chart, a diagram or something interactive and the agent now draws it right in the chat instead of describing it. If a reply comes back as text only, a "Show as a visual" button sits under it.
• Steps in plain words. The agent's steps read as sentences ("Searched the code for …", "Read main.rs", "Started a subagent") instead of tool names, file paths and raw input, in the chat and everywhere a running turn is shown. The exact command is still one click away.
• Quieter working line. It no longer says "Esc to stop" (Esc still stops).
• Notifications in the app's look. Toasts are a calm card with the colour only on the icon, not a red alert box.
• Settings controls fit their text. Buttons and selects in Settings are as wide as what they show.

Renviel v0.0.6

What's new

What's new in 0.0.6

Visuals in the chat

• Claude Code and Codex agents can now show live, interactive visuals right in the conversation: charts, diagrams, explorable explanations with sliders, small calculators.
• They take Renviel's look and follow the light or dark theme as you switch.
• Each visual has full screen, reload, open in browser and save as HTML.
• Visuals run isolated: no network, no access to the app or your files.

Renviel v0.0.5

What's new

What's new in 0.0.5

A quieter chat

• The line under an answer (model, time, tokens, files, undo) shows when you hover the message.
• While the agent works, the current step shows once, in the status pill.
• The message box's focus is a soft border in the theme's own colour; the usage button left the message box.
• An element picked in the browser is added as a small attachment instead of a page of text.

Fixes

• The menu-bar usage popover no longer looks greyed out when Renviel's theme differs from the system's.
• The notch island stays within the notch, so it no longer touches full-screen apps.

Renviel v0.0.4

What's new

What's new in 0.0.4

New colours

• Dark: the chat is #141414 and the sidebar #212121. Light: a white chat beside a toned sidebar.

Watching the agent work

• The working line is a small status pill: the account's mark in a spinning ring, the current step and the time.
• Tool steps shimmer while they run and tick when done; the steps line shows which tools were used and how long they took. An opened step has a copy button for its input.
• The plan card counts finished steps and marks each with a ring, a spinner or a check.
• Sources show a small mark for each site.
• A picture being made shows a canvas with its prompt and size until it is ready.

Compare

• Each side has a letter, the first to finish is marked, and time, tokens and cost sit in a footer.

Renviel v0.0.3

What's new

What's new in 0.0.3

See what the agent made

• Pictures a turn creates (SVG, PNG, JPG…) show as previews under the answer; click to open them.
• HTML pages the agent writes get an "Open in browser" card, and links to the agent's files in its answer now work.

A calmer chat

• Commands read in plain words ("Read package.json", "Ran the tests") instead of long shell lines; the exact command is one click away.
• The turn line under an answer is shorter: the token count with an icon (the split, cache share and price on hover) and Undo as an icon.
• The mode menu is titled "Mode".

Installing CLIs

• Installs show their stage, a percentage, the download size, the time left and the time so far, and say when they wait for another install.

Also

• New session: "No project" and "From a terminal" as two short buttons.
• Pictures for agents now go through a Codex account signed in with ChatGPT only; image MCP servers such as Higgsfield are in the MCP directory.
