July 2026

v1.7.0

JARVIS, reporting for preview.

An early preview of JARVIS mode lands in Clonk, alongside quieter background tasks. A small first step toward the hands-free workshop.

v1.6.8

Build in public. Literally.

Go live with a Vibe Room so other builders can watch and pitch prompts. Your commander checks suggestions against the goal; you choose what gets built.

More in this release

A dedicated interface and model picker make it easier to work with the Hermes agent across its supported providers.

Pick up exactly where you left off.

Your windows and work return after a restart. Drop reference images onto the canvas and discover the tools through a new guided setup.

v1.5.2

Less “as I said earlier…”

The commander remembers useful project context between conversations. Cards move and snap more smoothly, and stopping a loop actually stops it.

v1.5.0

Say the word. Send the work.

Hold both ⌘ keys to talk to Clonk. The new commander can open chats and terminals, route tasks to agents, and talk back with local or cloud voices.

More in this release

  • Agents can drive the browser; goals accept reference images and survive restarts.
  • A Ship pane, drag-to-assign tasks and lifetime usage stats join the workspace.

June 2026

v1.1.3

Cursor can take the long job.

Run Clonk loops with Cursor as the engine. Links from chat and terminal open in the built-in browser, and sidebar folders can be reordered by dragging.

v1.1.0

Less setup. More ingredients.

Codex comes bundled with the app, and the new API Store helps you find services to add to what you’re building. No separate Codex install required.

v1.0.7

Make room for the whole idea.

Arrange chats, terminals and browser previews on a per-project canvas. Drag, resize and keep previews alive while your workspace takes shape.

  • Choose a model for each phase of the work.
v1.0.6

A sturdier engine for the long haul.

v1.0.1

The build can answer from your pocket.

The remote bridge now ships inside the app. Pair your phone and start agents even with the Mac app closed; the background bridge keeps the connection available.

v1.0.0

1.0. Keep the ideas coming.

Queue follow-up messages while an agent works, or steer it mid-turn when the plan changes. You don’t have to wait politely for a wrong turn to finish.

Point at the bit you mean.

A fresh terminal. A steadier preview.

The terminal and browser preview are rebuilt for reliability. Reorder or hide tools in the side panel to suit the way you work.

A tiny teammate on your desktop.

Dock Pets give each project a small animated companion. Click to jump into chat, and glance at the notch to see which agents are working.

Your workspace, your colours.

Create and save custom themes, collapse the glass sidebar, and keep a split terminal pinned. Even the diffs dress for the occasion.

Found your dev server.

Clonk detects running localhost servers so you can open or stop them from the browser panel. Less port-number archaeology.

Room for the bigger conversation.

GPT-5.4 brings a larger context window and reasoning summaries. Context limits now follow the model you select automatically.

Report problems inside the app with logs attached and sensitive data scrubbed. The update screen also gets a clearer layout.

January 2026

v0.1.42

Two agents are better than one tab.

Run agents in side-by-side chat panes. A one-click Expo + Convex starter gets full-stack mobile projects off the ground.

v0.1.37

From “what if” to a working feature.

Clonk mode interviews you, researches APIs and docs, makes a plan, then builds. Plugins and a skills browser let you equip it for the job.

v0.1.35

Localhost deserves an audience.

Deploy to Vercel from the app, with automatic project creation and deployment status. Your Convex production URL follows into Vercel’s environment settings.

v0.1.34

Give the frontend a backend.

Connect a Convex project from the app. Terminal reliability improves, and macOS notarization clears up the “damaged app” install warning.

v0.1.33

Skip the empty folder ceremony.

Start Next.js, Expo or Convex projects from ready-made templates, with setup handled for you. Spend the first ten minutes on the idea.

v0.1.32

Another brain at the desk.

ChatGPT Codex support joins Claude, giving you another engine for building with the subscriptions you already use.

v0.1.30

See who’s doing what.

The Agents tab puts subagent activity in one place. Smoother streaming and clearer task lists make it easier to follow a build in flight.

December 2025

v0.1.27

Take the preview for a walk.

Expo previews get a QR code for testing on your phone, alongside improvements to the browser preview and checkpoints.

v0.1.26

Yes, npm is installed.

The integrated terminal now picks up your shell’s tools and paths, including Homebrew and nvm. Fewer “command not found” detours.

v0.1.22

Try the bold change. There’s a rewind.

Checkpoints give you restore points for agent edits. Use /rewind to go back, and review diffs before you commit.

v0.1.20

Know where the tokens went.

Daily usage and model breakdowns make spending visible. Live tool indicators show what the agent is doing while it works.

v0.1.18

Keep the server running. Keep talking.

Agents can start background servers while the conversation continues. Localhost previews open automatically, and you can clone a repo from the home screen.

v0.1.17

Inspect without the window shuffle.

DevTools arrives in the built-in preview. Reloading and resizing become more reliable, so testing stays beside the conversation.

November 2025

v0.1.10

Give the prompt a file to point to.

Use @ to reference project files in chat. Clearer thinking blocks and tidier conversations make the agent’s work easier to follow.

v0.1.6

Show it what you mean.

Attach images to chat for visual context. Screenshots are often better than three paragraphs about a padding problem.

v0.1.1

A little Mac app. A lot to build.

The first published release puts Claude Code in a desktop workspace, with project chats, streaming replies and an integrated terminal. The workshop opens.
