The app now recovers from renderer crashes automatically instead of shutting down.

New

  • Canvas AI mode: preview and edit structural gestures before applying them.
  • Chat sidebar select mode with checkbox multi-select and a bulk-action bar.
  • Agents: one list-settings control with a saveable default.

  • Canvas interact no longer gets stuck on a spinner.
  • Chats now open in the right place instead of jumping to the top.
  • Search now surfaces canvases from the workspace you’re actually in.
  • Issues: canvases linked by slug now preview and open.
  • The updater waits for an in-flight install instead of abandoning it.
  • Invite-by-email popover is tighter and its send logic works reliably.
  • Remote control recovers cleanly after a machine identity reset.
This release focuses heavily on stability. A crash in one renderer no longer takes down the whole app—dead renderers now reload on their own, silent main-process failures are surfaced, and hidden surfaces stop doing background work. The updater also waits for an in-flight install to finish rather than abandoning it partway.Canvas gets meaningful new capabilities and fixes. In AI mode you can now preview and edit structural gestures before committing them, and the chrome respects light mode and your stored backdrops. We also cleared up several long-standing annoyances: stuck interact spinners, zoom shortcuts that failed on some keyboard layouts, and canvas links with line-number suffixes that wouldn’t open.Chat picks up a select mode in the sidebar, so you can multi-select conversations and act on them in bulk, and chats now open at the correct scroll position. Agents gain a single list-settings control with a saveable default, plus more truthful run visibility.Rounding things out, search now returns canvases from the workspace you’re in, Issues can preview and open canvases linked by slug, sharing-by-email is more reliable, and remote control recovers gracefully from a machine identity reset.

This release consolidates the side-chat experience: there’s now a single ChatView, SideChatPanel, and host across the app, which clears up a class of lifecycle bugs that came from having several fragmented versions. Alongside that, chat is more reliable end to end — cancelling a plan no longer drops your message, crashed chats come back clearly marked as interrupted, closing a tab won’t delete a chat, and command output survives a turn replay.We fixed a startup crash affecting the packaged Windows app, capped a stuck connection handshake at 8 seconds so a dead connect can’t strand you, and made auto-install-on-quit run the same checks as the manual Update button. Windows window controls now line up with the macOS layout.Canvas gains Option-drag to resize from an element’s center, and storyboards recover correctly when their host document is replaced. Issues adds a daily PR review digest and stops re-rendering the whole page when you click into an item. Same-org links now open in native tabs, and Slack mentions resolve to readable names.

Chat and issue views now switch near-instantly instead of fully reloading.

New

  • The agent run queue now lives in the grid’s Activity column.
  • Creating a workspace now opens it directly in Issues chat.

Improved

  • Switching issue views is now near-instant (down from ~1.8s) with progressive card loading.
  • Switching between chats is now instant, with no reload flicker.
  • Chat memory usage is lower after switching workspaces and closing chats.
  • Split-pane divider dragging no longer stutters.

Fixed

  • AI chat now surfaces upstream API errors instead of silently reporting success.
  • Queued chat messages are restored after a restart.
  • Slow AI turns now show a visible warning, and follow-up messages deliver reliably.
  • Codex message structure is preserved in AI chat.
  • Saved-view filter reset works again in Issues.
  • Linked artifacts open as a tab in the same split pane.
  • Restored the open action for linked workspaces, including archived ones.
  • The archive Undo toast now stays visible so restores aren’t silent.
  • Canvas no longer performs lossy element reconstruction on destructive moves.
  • Canvas autosize growth is now capped so elements can’t balloon uncontrollably.
  • Removed the noisy “Couldn’t refresh attached element” canvas warning toast.
  • Insights now pages merged-PR fetches so large repos aren’t dropped.
  • The force-upgrade overlay now always has a working exit.
This release is mostly about speed and reliability in the two places you spend the most time: Chat and Issues. Chat switching is now a fast prop swap rather than a full remount, and issue view switches drop from around 1.8 seconds to under 100 milliseconds thanks to progressive card loading. Memory footprint is also lower after moving between workspaces and closing chats.On the AI side, chat now correctly surfaces upstream API errors instead of falsely reporting success, restores queued messages after a restart, warns you when a turn is running slow, and reliably delivers follow-up messages. Codex message structure is now preserved as well.Issues and Workspaces get a batch of fixes: saved-view filter reset works again, linked artifacts open as a tab in the same split pane, linked workspace open actions (including archived ones) are restored, and the archive Undo toast stays visible so restores aren’t silent. The agent run queue now lives directly in the grid’s Activity column, and new workspaces open straight into Issues chat.Canvas is more robust too — no more lossy reconstruction on destructive moves, capped autosize growth, and a removed noisy refresh warning. Rounding things out, split-pane dragging no longer stutters, Insights handles large repos without dropping PRs, and the force-upgrade overlay always has a working exit.

  • Chat fast mode now persists for new chats.
  • The live canvas host stays stable across probe misses.
This release is mostly about making the workspace feel quick and dependable. The biggest win is the removal of the roughly half-second freeze that hit every time you clicked into a workspace, backed by a lighter snapshot fan-out and smaller, workspace-scoped canvas rescans.Canvas gets real editing upgrades: you can now resize multiple selected elements proportionally, hold Shift to lock a drag to one axis, and revealing layers no longer yanks the whole workspace around. A batch of AI-mode drag and gesture bugs were also cleaned up.Chat and Canvas are more connected — your current canvas selection is automatically attached to chat context, and line-linked citations now reveal properly. Chat also picks up DeepSeek V4 Pro, an external-browser link option, and persistent fast mode for new chats.On the platform side, Tempo now asks for confirmation before you quit or reload (resettable in Settings), PR badges open in your external browser, and Home is cleaner with a corrected count badge.

  • Agent-created issues no longer hit an auto-linking race.
  • Fuzzy search treats separators consistently for better matches.
This release adds a Home tab with a Getting Started checklist that fills in as your agents report progress, plus global back/forward navigation in the app header so moving between views feels like a browser.Issues gets a redesigned filter dropdown with search and new creators/agents dimensions, a right-click menu on linked-issue cards in chat, and fixes that stop label-grouped boards from hiding issues and prevent blank paragraphs from being written into issue bodies. The org Insights tab now includes Pull requests and Lines changed metrics.Browser and workspace work is prominent: in-page links open new tabs beside the current one, PR pills open as in-app browser tabs in the right split, local HTML files auto-reload, and reloading pages show a loading state instead of a black screen. Right-panel state now persists across Issues, Canvas, and Docs.Under the hood, Chat switches back instantly by rendering the tail first, and workspace status badges update via watchers instead of periodic sweeps. Canvas reliably captures previews when agents finish, and Platform fixes cover a correctly notarized macOS installer for Apple Silicon and signature verification before updates install.

  • Outage toast no longer fires for users who are actually online.
  • Stale storyboard previews and share sizing now render correctly.
  • ESC returns to the Select tool after arming a tool from a toolbar dropdown.
Canvas AI Mode is the headline of this release. You can now stage AI-driven changes on elements that aren’t directly editable and apply them straight from chat, with double-click-to-hug sizing and a handful of related canvas fixes to smooth out the experience.Agent reliability got a major pass. Runs now survive session death, keep queued messages, and stop being reaped while they’re still working or waiting on a user question. Remote Control also behaves correctly across machines — answering a chat question on one no longer freezes the other, and mirrored chat shows the full in-flight turn.Issues gain visibility into agent work directly in the activity feed, and artifact links now resolve to a specific branch rather than a whole workspace.The Browser tab feels much more like a real browser: external app links open through a consent dialog, chat links open in split view (Cmd+click for your OS browser), and Chrome-style shortcuts like Cmd+L and Cmd+F now work. Rounding things out are quality-of-life additions like confirm-before-quit, new chat-tab shortcuts, a fresh MCP tab, and fixes for Cmd+B bolding, chat renaming, and the online-user outage toast.

  • Onboarding drops a redundant status line under Get Started.
The headline of 0.0.88 is a billing change: the free tier now runs on GPT-5.6 Luna and is metered by spend instead of a fixed number of prompts, so you can keep working without hitting an arbitrary prompt ceiling.Canvas gets the most attention this release. Shift+A now preserves grid and wrap layouts when converting in place, radius handles surface near selection corners, and new effects land at the top of the effects stack. Several rendering and reliability issues are fixed too — Expo render hosts start correctly, browser screenshots capture at full fidelity, copy/paste works inside HTML storyboards, and the canvas homepage re-scopes when you switch orgs.Chat and workspace flows are steadier. AI turns now reliably terminate after a reconnect, long builds show a heartbeat instead of appearing frozen, and quitting the app cleanly disposes sessions. Workspaces get per-workspace view state, route-independent first turns, working-tree status in the git menu, and clearer feedback when creating a canvas in an un-initialized project.On the platform side, a hung auth refresh can no longer wedge the app, failed language-server spawns no longer crash it, and canvas share links now unfurl as readable previews in Slack.

HTML storyboards are no longer deprecated — you can edit them directly on the canvas again, while flat-JSX capture continues to work as before. We’ve also added Kimi K3 as a directly routable model in AI chat through Tempo Inference.Canvas and homepage performance got a significant boost this release. A new content-addressed canvas index cut the index from over 29,000 rows down to 586, fixed canvases occasionally disappearing, and reduced the git activity that was causing main-process freezes and slow loads.Several chat and agent fixes landed too: “Fix with AI” now pre-fills the composer, agents can route work to a teammate’s agent, AI tool calls respect the workspace’s org, and queued messages send reliably. MCP servers configured for Codex now auto-approve, and wrapper components stay put in the layer tree.

  • Fast release-while-moving draws now commit instead of cancelling.
  • Alignment snapping now works while drawing storyboards and frames.
  • Unsubscribing from a Slack thread no longer mutes the whole channel.
This release focuses heavily on the canvas. Panning is smoother and large canvases perform noticeably better, and we’ve cleaned up a range of editing rough edges: storyboard moves no longer snap back, multi-element drags commit as a single action and snap the whole selection, and alignment snapping now applies while you draw. We also fixed several loading hangs and stopped canvases with the same name from colliding by addressing them by path.There’s a new all-canvases homepage built on the designer’s own code, replacing the older per-workspace view. The Assets tab now shows live component previews you can drop straight onto the canvas, and chat file references are now clickable links.Rounding things out: new font-size shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+. and +,), a Runs-on row and per-agent Remote Control opt-in for agents, a file tree that no longer auto-expands and surfaces gitignored entries, a redesigned landing page, and a Slack fix so unsubscribing from a thread no longer mutes the entire channel.

  • Interrupted chats are no longer counted as running agents.
  • Canvas share page shows a loading state instead of an error while loading.
  • Canvas no longer loses the projected head on unstyled storyboards.
  • Canvas chat session dropdown now scrolls with a visible scrollbar.
  • Diagnostics export now keeps a chat tab’s prior-session events.
  • Toggling Tempo Inference now tears down the running server as expected.
The headline in 0.0.84 is Remote Control: you can now run workspaces on another machine and mirror and control them from your current device. This is useful for offloading heavy work or driving a workspace that lives elsewhere.Models got an update too — Opus 5 ships and is now the default (Opus 5 1M), while Sonnet 4.6 has been retired. Custom Agent templates can now use MCP tools.Sharing saw a big pass: the issue and doc share pages have a cleaner, Notion-style redesign that works on mobile and desktop, the canvas share page gets its own mobile layout, and canvas shares now show a loading state instead of an error while they load.Canvas picked up several editing improvements, including editable portal content in projected storyboards, selection-aware undo/redo, and keyboard-shortcut hints in the right-click menu.A round of fixes tightens everyday flows: pinned workspaces stay in order and drop where you expect, interrupted chats no longer show as running agents, and clicking the header branch name copies it.

  • Error text in bug reports is now actually visible.
This release brings browsing into Tempo. You can now open embedded browser tabs right in your workspace and pull element context from a page, and the new Web Clipper turns any web page into an HTML storyboard on the canvas.AI chat gets more options: a fast-mode toggle for BYOK OpenAI users, GPT-5.3 Codex Spark in the picker, and Kimi K3 replacing K2.6 in OpenCode. Renaming a chat can now also rename its workspace branch, and center tabs stay mounted as you move between them. Canvas comments render image attachments, and auto-layout inference handles alignment (Shift+A), spacing, and overlapping stacks more accurately.A large batch of fixes lands too. Opening an issue no longer forces the chat panel open, archive/restore keeps chat history intact, storyboard previews persist across workspaces, and several canvas interaction bugs (blank-frame flashes, selecting frames inside storyboards, paths with spaces, text with line breaks) are resolved.

Canvas gains a Shift+A auto-layout suite and Tempo adds the GPT-5.6 Codex models.

New

  • Shift+A converts a container to auto layout, inferring flex-wrap, CSS grid, per-side padding, and visual flow order.
  • Option+Shift+A removes auto layout from a selection.
  • Added GPT-5.6 (Sol/Terra/Luna) Codex models; retired GPT-5.4 Codex.
  • Agent Templates gallery to jump-start custom agents.
  • Design-system slash-command suite plus an example buttons canvas.
  • Gradient and image fills are now available on the bottom fill layer.
  • Typography live-previews on hover over font options in the style panel.
  • Search issues by their human-readable issue ID.
  • Issue detail menu adds Create workspace and Copy ID actions.
  • Copy as Markdown from the authenticated member doc-share view.
  • Custom artifacts and inline artifact pills now open in split view instead of the browser.
  • Archive workspaces to remove the worktree while keeping the branch.
  • Pinned workspaces are grouped into a flat Pinned section.
  • Add a manual reload button to canvas toolbars; Cmd+R reloads the canvas, not the page.
  • GLM 5.2 free and paid are merged into one quota-aware picker row.

Improved

  • Fixed 1-2s app freezes, idle CPU churn, and renderer memory bloat.
  • Queued agent runs are now visible when you hit the concurrency cap.

  • Canvas share now works for canvases nested at any depth.
  • Share/preview captures no longer save silently partial.
  • Stopped Convex websocket flapping every ~5 minutes on token refresh.
  • Agents create instantly instead of a draft view, fixing the infinite-loading Slack trigger.
  • Abandoned or interrupted AI runs show an inline notice instead of an infinite spinner or full-screen takeover.
  • Place canvas comments from a touch tap on mobile Safari.
  • Recovered workspaces stuck in a “materializing” state.
Canvas is the centerpiece of this release. Shift+A now turns a selected container into auto layout in place, and it’s smart about it: it infers flex-wrap for multi-row content, CSS grid for clean 2D arrangements, per-side padding from your children’s edge offsets, and reorders children into visual flow. Option+Shift+A removes auto layout again. You also get a manual reload button in canvas toolbars, and Cmd+R reloads the canvas instead of the whole page.On the AI side, the GPT-5.6 (Sol/Terra/Luna) Codex models are in and GPT-5.4 Codex is retired. A new design-system slash-command suite makes it easier to work from your own components, and GLM 5.2 free and paid now share a single quota-aware picker row. Custom artifacts and inline pills open in split view rather than kicking you out to the browser.Workspaces gained archiving that removes the worktree while keeping the branch, a dedicated Pinned section, and recovery from workspaces stranded in a “materializing” state. Issues get search by human issue ID, faster issue creation, and new Create workspace / Copy ID actions.This version also focuses heavily on stability and performance: we fixed 1-2 second freezes, idle CPU churn, and renderer memory bloat, stopped a websocket reconnect loop on token refresh, and replaced several infinite spinners with clear inline states.

  • Slack threads continue in the same Tempo workspace with thread-aware routing.
  • Human-readable share URLs (org slug + issue) for links you send out.

This release centers on Slack-connected agents. Agents can now post to Slack as the Tempo bot across multiple workspaces, send direct messages, and keep a conversation going inside the original thread — with replies routed back to the right Tempo workspace. Slack triggers also handle private channels and file shares, and cron schedules display in your local timezone.The canvas picks up a lot of design work: you can browse and edit a project’s CSS variables, draw with Tailwind classes instead of inline styles, use Figma-style marquee selection, reorder layers with keyboard shortcuts, and manage canvas files from the Design tab. Several comment popover and split-view rendering issues are fixed as well.Issues and chat get faster and more responsive — virtualized Kanban rows speed up board loads, board edits apply instantly, and hidden chat tabs no longer eat performance. You’ll also find collapsible context cards, right-click column menus, autolinked issue references, and human-readable share URLs. Rounding things out are billing controls for per-model inference credits and a batch of fixes for chat loading states, doc reflow, and mobile canvas sharing.

Chat is significantly faster, with big drops in unnecessary re-renders across the app.

New

  • Slash commands in OpenCode: dropdown, dispatch, and terminal launcher.
  • Attach images and files directly on the Generate screen.
  • Drag-and-drop and rename folders in the canvas list.

Improved

  • Chat messages re-render far less during streaming for smoother typing and scrolling.
  • In-app Documentation links now point to docs.tempo.new.

Fixed

  • Kanban “is not” filters no longer hide the board’s other columns.

We also fixed an idle-commit issue in recent views, so the app stays responsive even when you’re not actively typing.On the feature side, OpenCode now supports slash commands end-to-end, with a dropdown, dispatch, and a terminal launcher. The Generate screen accepts image and file attachments, and the canvas list gains folder drag-and-drop along with rename.Several fixes round things out: Kanban “is not” filters keep the rest of your columns visible, the PR badge tooltip wording is corrected, and the in-app changelog (“What’s New”) now loads properly. Documentation links also now point to docs.tempo.new.
