Every
spark struck.

New tabs open cleanly, with your cursor and font from the first frame.

Fixed

• No flash when a tab opens. A new tab, a new split and switching tabs no longer show a stretched, hollow cursor for a moment. The terminal opens at its real size, with the cursor shape and font you chose from the first frame.
• A program's cursor shape stays. When a program such as vim sets its own cursor shape, changing an unrelated setting or previewing a theme no longer puts yours back over it.

An SSH panel, Smart Notes, and skills you can build without writing a file.

New

• SSH panel (⌃⌘S). Your servers and keys in one place. Hosts lists the ones you saved and the ones in ~/.ssh/config; click one to connect in a new tab, or pin it to the sidebar. Add Host takes user@host:port or a whole pasted ssh command. Keys lists your key pairs, copies a public key with one click, makes new ones, adds them to the agent and installs them on a server.
• A tab that couldn't connect says Failed. With zsh, when ssh can't reach a server, or loses it, the tab is tagged Failed until you run the next command there.
• Long tab names in full. Point at a tab whose name is cut short to read all of it.
• Smart Notes. Notes became runbooks: select several lines or a code block and ⌘↩ runs them, ⇧⌘↩ runs one step and moves to the next, and {{name}} asks for a value when it runs. ⇧⌘E shows the note as formatted text, with ▶ on each code block, and ⌘F finds text in it.
• Runbooks for a project. In a git project, the notes menu opens the project's RUNBOOK.md, or makes one, so your team can share it.
• Send to Agent (⌥⌘↩). Sends the selection, paragraph or code block from a note to the AI agent running in the tab, pasted for you to add to and send.
• ⌘↩ over ssh and tmux. A note's line now runs in ssh, mosh, tmux and screen too.
• Save to Vault. Select a token in a pane, right-click and choose Save to Vault…: it suggests a name such as GITHUB_TOKEN and never puts the value on the clipboard.
• More ways to use a secret. ▶ sets a secret as a variable in the pane, and each secret's menu types it at a password prompt (sudo's too), copies, shows, renames or deletes it. Every action is also in Search.
• Skills in the Store. The Store has a Skills tab (⌘4) with five built-in rule skills: Slow ping, Still running, Finished, Busy CPU and Memory hog, each with a switch and Customise.
• Build a skill without a file. New Skill in Settings → Skills builds a rule skill from a program or a file, the states to show and how each looks. "Lately here" suggests the programs you ran in this Space.
• Rule skills that know more. A rule can show a different look for each state (if, else if, else), watch a log file in your project or one fixed file, offer buttons on its card, and wait for a tool with needs: kubectl. A card skill can keep to one program's output.
• A big log file stays in view. A skill that watches one file, such as file: ~/Library/Logs/myapp/server.log, keeps a row at the foot of the Space's tabs while its rule holds ("server.log is 120 MB"), ringed yellow or red, so a missed toast isn't lost. Click the row to open its card.
• Skills can notify you. A skill with notify: yes, or the Notify switch in New Skill, sends a macOS notification when it turns on while you're in another app. It's off until you turn on "Notify from skills" in Settings → Skills; then the built-in Finished tells you when a long build ends, and panes that finish together share one notification.
• One skill for several programs. when: node, deno looks after any of them, in rule and card skills.
• Six more themes in the Store, and Store themes now colour the whole window, not just the terminal.
• Header buttons. Quick Commands, SSH, Vault and Smart Notes have a + in their header to add something new.

Fixed

• Skills see programs run with sudo. A rule for ping also matches sudo ping, and its CPU and memory show as unknown instead of 0.
• Catppuccin Mocha and Tokyo Night now use their true colours.
• Theme preview in Search no longer sticks when the highlight moves off a theme, and only previews when you type a theme's name.
• Tooltips no longer disappear from buttons in the sidebar and panels.

Changed

• Themes look like themselves. Every theme looks in the window exactly as the Store shows it, in every Space. A Space's colour now marks only the Space, its dot and the selected tab's icon, instead of recolouring the theme; to see it across the window too, Settings → Appearance → Space colour in the frame tints the frame with it. Space colours take the theme's own shade of red, green, blue and the rest, and the colour picker shows what a Space will get.
• Store theme cards show each theme's own look.
• The Cheatsheet sample plugin is gone. It is no longer installed with Flintty.

Four more colours for your Spaces.

New

• More Space colours. Indigo, Lime, Gray and Graphite join the colours you can give a Space, each with its own shade in light themes.

Fixed

• Fonts from early betas. A settings file from before 0.1.0 still named the old default fonts, so the terminal kept them. Flintty now moves it to Monaco and Geist once; a font you choose afterwards stays.
• Room between sidebar tabs. A selected tab and the one under the pointer no longer almost touch: rows in the sidebar and the side panels sit a little further apart.

Changed

• A smaller download. The installer's headline is now set in Geist, like the app, so Flintty no longer carries a second interface font: about 4.7 MB lighter.

The first beta. A Mac terminal that tells you which agent needs you.

New

• Agent status. Each tab shows when a program is busy. Claude Code goes further: its tab says when it needs your approval and when it's done, with nothing to set up.
• A nudge when you're away. Optional notifications when an agent needs you while you're in another app, and a click takes you to its tab. Off until you turn them on in Settings → Agents.
• Tabs in a sidebar, grouped into Spaces. One Space per project, each with its own theme, tabs inside tabs, and splits.
• Notes, Quick Commands, Vault and Skills. Panels beside your panes: Markdown notes, your commands one click away, secrets kept in the Keychain, and skills that spot things on screen.
• Command palette and history. Every command a keystroke away, and your shell history searched in any word order.
• Updates on their own. Flintty checks once a day, downloads quietly and installs when you quit.
• What's new, after each update. When Flintty has updated, its note offers What's New, which opens this page at that version. Flintty → About Flintty shows the version, the same link and Check for Updates.
