v0.1.60 brought Notes, Todo, and a unified Notebook surface
A big writing-and-organizing release. Plan, Notes, and Todo are now three modes of one Notebook surface, a Quick Note scratchpad is one keystroke away on every page, chat threads gained a per-thread Context panel, and you can hand a running thread between Local and a Worktree. The Canvas also picked up a full whiteboard, and voice notes landed in chat.
What's New
- Notes: an Apple-Notes-style writing surface alongside Plan. A note list with search and pinning on the left (grouped by date), the same block editor you know from Plan on the right, with the chat pane wired in. Per-workspace, stored locally under
aiola/notes/. Plan, Notes, and Todo are now modes of one Notebook surface — switch between them with a segmented control in the header - Todo: a third Notebook mode: a single per-workspace checklist. Just start typing — every line is a checkable item, press Enter for the next one, and check things off as you go (shift-click a checkbox to toggle a whole range at once). Hide or clear completed items to stay focused. Stored locally under
aiola/todos.json, with the chat pane wired in so the agent can add or check off to-dos for you - Quick Note (floating scratchpad): a scratchpad one keystroke away on every page of every workspace. Toggle it with ⌘⇧J (Ctrl+Shift+J) or from the command palette. It's the same block editor in a compact frame, so formatting and checkboxes just work — and you can drag it to any of nine slots (corners, edges, or centered)
- Notebook chat knows your notes:
#note-mention any note to pull it into a chat turn, and let the agent create, append to, and read notes directly while it works, so a conversation can spin up or update a note without leaving the composer - Per-thread Context panel: every chat thread gets a Context button in its header that opens a side panel with a Notepad and a Changes view, each kept separately per thread. The Notepad reaches your whole workspace: open any note, switch between them, or start a new one right from the panel — the same notes you write in the Notebook
- Reworked side panel: the dashboard side panel now opens to an empty-state picker — Review, Terminal, Browser, or Files — so you choose what to open instead of it defaulting to a view. Toggle the panel with ⌘E; the views have their own shortcuts (Review ⌃⇧G, Browser ⌘T, Files ⌘P). Those view shortcuts now only open and focus their tab — pressing one again keeps it open instead of toggling it closed, and pressing a view's shortcut from another tab jumps straight to it
- Hand off a running thread between environments: once a thread has started you can move it between Local and a Worktree from the environment selector. The handoff stashes the working tree, materializes (or removes) the worktree, and re-applies your changes on the other side, so you can switch where a conversation runs without losing work
- Canvas whiteboard: sketch right on the Canvas dashboard: shapes, arrows, text and sticky notes, a freehand pen, and an eraser, layered beneath your terminal/browser/chat/image/file cards. Drag, resize, and rearrange anything, and pick a background to taste
- Bigger canvas panels: terminal, browser, chat, image, and file cards now open noticeably larger by default (terminals jump from 600×400 to 820×560), so there's real room to work the moment a panel appears. Minimum sizes scaled up to match, and "arrange" tiling uses the new dimensions
- Voice notes in chat: dictate straight into the composer. Tap the mic and a recording pill appears instantly with a live waveform and timer; stop to transcribe, or cancel to discard. No API key to configure — transcription rides on your existing ChatGPT sign-in through Codex
Improvements
- The Quick Note has its own spot in the command palette and a dedicated keybind, and its position — any of nine slots (corners, edges, or centered) — lives in Appearance settings
- Canvas dragging, resizing, and sketching stay smooth with many panels and shapes on screen, and a selected panel now shows a rounded highlight that matches its card
- App Logs gained an Ignored group: muted issues collapse into their own collapsible section instead of cluttering the active list, and bulk shift-select reaches across the Active, Closed, and Ignored sections
- Arrowing through
@-mention and command suggestions now keeps the highlighted row scrolled into view, so keyboard navigation never runs off the bottom of the popup - The sidebar's Notebook entry stays highlighted whether you're on Plan, Notes, or Todo, since they're one surface
- The analytics "Online" pulse dot now only appears when at least one visitor is live, instead of pulsing next to a zero
Fixes
- Terminal history persists and is shared: Terminals now read and write your real shell history, so arrow-up recalls commands from your other terminals — including a new tab, or the app reopened the next day — instead of starting blank each time
- Login no longer locks itself out: A dead refresh token used to make the app hammer Supabase's
/tokenendpoint from several places at once (auto-refresh timer, Realtime reconnect, and every authed query retrying independently), tripping a per-IP rate limit that then blocked even a fresh Google/OTP sign-in. A client-side circuit breaker now bounds refresh traffic: terminal failures purge the session and open the breaker, bursts short-circuit without hitting the network, and any successful new sign-in resets it. Only refresh-token calls are guarded, so a fresh login always passes through
