Ghosthub

  • Use Zellij sessions natively, with more reliable reconnect and recovery.
  • Open project worktrees as native tabs and switch between them with Command-number shortcuts.
  • Navigate sibling worktrees with configurable keyboard shortcuts, while faster sidebar activation keeps navigation responsive.
  • Preview tmux sessions with GPU acceleration, see window counts, and keep light themes legible.
  • Run Ghosthub on macOS 15 Sequoia with Ghostty themes bundled out of the box.

Kenn Forge

  • Workspaces now have a phone-first workflow.
  • Activity can be filtered by actor, searched by item number, and kept current across views.
  • Repository presets, per-repository visibility controls, and “Involves me” filters make busy work views easier to focus.
  • Workspace terminals switch faster, reconnect after backend reloads, use less bandwidth, and support the Windows clipboard over remote HTTP connections.
  • Archived GitHub data now hides upstream removals, handles issue-only repositories, and stops retrying deleted issues.

AgentsView

  • Syncs are faster because HTTP updates now process only changed sessions, while saved freshness data avoids repeat parsing after restarts.
  • Large activity reports now scale better, with faster daily usage calculations and duplicate-prompt comparisons.
  • Agentsview can now read DeepSeek Harness and TraeX sessions, discover Qoder IDE caches, and handle legacy Zed threads.
  • Gemini history can now be imported from Google Takeout, and Insights can use OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
  • Session details now offer raw and formatted tool output, clearer action failure states, and cleaner first-message previews.

kata

  • Set and view issue due dates through both the CLI and MCP server.
  • Use MCP project mode across list, ready, and next commands for broader issue views.
  • Get clear errors when the local Kata daemon cannot be reached.
  • Run SQLite faster in fast mode by skipping durability flushes.
  • Check the installed Kata version with the standard kata --version command.

kwt

  • SSH connections now support route resolution, portable interactive leases, and structured host-key prompts tied to the reviewed destination.
  • Project and worktree removal now stops when live sessions or concurrent session startup could make the operation unsafe.
  • Worktree creation, protected attachment, and pull-request imports now verify the active project registration before proceeding.
  • Daemon identity remains stable across WSL clock changes, and empty project registries can be repaired safely.
  • Shorter tmux session names reduce naming problems for worktree sessions.

roborev

  • Use Roborev through its new native browser application.
  • Review changes in a split-screen view in the terminal interface.
  • Restart the daemon without interrupting reviews that are still running.
  • See active snooze status in both the command line and terminal interfaces.
  • Keep branch reviews in the linked worktree where they were started.

msgvault

  • Search can now use contextual embeddings for chats and transcripts, with embedding builds scoped to individual accounts.
  • Contact records now support organizations, employment history, dated activity, and relationships that change over time.
  • Beeper imports now preserve plain text, resume historical backfills, classify link previews, and surface identity matches for review.
  • Web views now recover during cache initialization, while cache rebuilds and large Everything and Files listings stay bounded.
  • Packaged installations now include the production web interface, and calendar sync preserves UTF-8 characters.

docbank

  • Developers now have clearer document-processing boundaries and simpler imports.
  • Docbank now uses Go 1.26.6 to keep module verification consistent.
