AgentsView

Project timeline →

  • Import sessions from Cline CLI, Charm Crush, Tencent CodeBuddy CN, DeepSeek Harness v3, Augure Desktop, and Augure Code.
  • Search by date or project, include one-shot sessions in content searches, and look up sessions by UUID.
  • Generate and inspect activity insights from the CLI. Session results also include browser links, and JSON reports include machine labels.
  • Sync uses less background CPU and stops retrying unchanged broken files. It also handles older Piebald databases and structured Cursor IDE tool results.
  • Resume Pi sessions, jump between sessions with Ctrl+G or Cmd+G, and copy directory paths even after a session directory is removed.

  • Find documents similar to a stored version, with optional reranking for more relevant search results.

Kenn Forge

Project timeline →

  • GitHub activity, Actions runs, pull request checks, and open issues now refresh sooner through live updates. Forge also polls less often and flags overdue refreshes.
  • Forge works better on slow connections, while prepared checkouts and shorter waits speed up workspace creation.
  • The Actions view now has a resizable console and a sortable workflow run table.
  • You can launch a preset agent prompt from a pull request or issue header. Quick actions no longer open the session picker.
  • Forge can reuse existing glab and fj logins for GitLab, Forgejo, and Gitea.

  • The TUI can undo recent issue actions, use Emacs navigation shortcuts, and skip quit confirmation.
  • The project inbox now supports teammate attention requests and shows issues whose planning dates have arrived.

Fotobank

Project timeline →

  • Search photos and download originals or attachments from the command line.

  • Change embedding settings without restarting Fotobank, and keep search results visible while filters are collapsed.
  • Retry failed album actions and AI status checks, with clearer errors when something goes wrong.
  • Fresh Windows installs can create missing storage directories, and stopping the daemon no longer reports a false failure while its runtime record is being deleted.
