Changelog

What we shipped and when.

v2.3.0-beta.1August 2026

Chat sessions

Every project is a real conversation now. Chat tabs bring the full Claude Code experience with no terminal required, and the orchestrator watches over all of them.

  • Chat session tabs: a full chat UI over your own Claude Code CLI, per project
  • Streaming replies with collapsible thinking sections
  • Readable tool cards for Edit, Write, Bash, and Read, with syntax-highlighted results
  • Permission modes in the composer: Ask first / Accept edits / Full access
  • Model picker per chat: Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Haiku 4.5, plus latest aliases
  • Image attachments: paste or drop a screenshot and the model sees it
  • Slash-command menu: type / for the full command list
  • Message queue and interrupt: send while it works, stop a turn any time
  • Per-tab thread history with auto-titles, drafts, and prompt history
  • The orchestrator now sees and steers chat sessions across every project
  • Reliability: crash-proof process handling, error surfacing, rate-limit and offline awareness
v2.2.0July 2026

One chat runs everything

The orchestrator becomes the home screen — a persistent chat that sees the live truth of every session and can actually drive them: dispatch, stop, approve, all from one window.

  • The Orcha chat is the home screen — one conversation that sees and drives every coding session across all your projects
  • Ask what’s running and get a real answer with receipts — live session truth from Claude Code’s own registry, never a stale guess
  • Dispatch work from chat; the report comes back to the conversation. Say “let me watch” and it opens in a visible terminal tab
  • Stop a running agent or approve its permission prompt right from the chat — no hunting for the terminal
  • Automations built by talking — daily tasks and loops that dispatch real agents on a schedule
  • Integrations: a curated MCP catalog (GitHub, Linear, Notion, Stripe, Vercel, Supabase, and more)
  • Create and register projects from chat — they land exactly like the manual New Project flow
  • The Library: Sessions, Backlog, Automations, and Integrations in one place
  • Needs You, cleaned up — newest first, and closed sessions clear themselves instead of lingering forever
  • Pick your model in the composer (Sonnet by default) — always visible, never hidden
  • ⌘⇧J summons Orcha from anywhere; ⌘1–9 switches workspaces
  • Click any file path in chat to open it in the right project — no more surprise pop-ups
  • In-app update notices: know the moment a new version is out, download from your account
v2.1.1July 2026

Beta polish

Fixes and stability from the first round of beta feedback.

  • Session status detection reliability improvements

  • Smaller UI polish across the sidebar and terminal toolbar
v2.1.0July 2026

The public beta

The first build in beta testers’ hands: a native macOS workspace that runs every Claude Code session in one window and tells you the moment one needs you.

  • Workspaces with project tabs and embedded PTY terminals (SwiftTerm)
  • Live session status via Claude Code’s native hooks — no screen-scraping
  • Needs You — every pending permission and finished session in one place
  • All-sessions fuzzy search (⌘⇧S) across your entire Claude Code history
  • Backlog quick-capture (⌘⇧K) — type the idea, keep working
  • Context Hub — compose session context from summaries, memory, and files
  • Background agent dispatch, with optional git worktree isolation
  • Resources panel (⌘⇧R) — files and transcripts beside your session
  • On-device voice dictation — hold ⌥Space, nothing sent to the cloud
  • In-app bug reporting with one-click diagnostics export
