Soft-Machine Changelog

Steadier Scroll-Back, Reliable History Loads

2026-07-27T12:00:00Z

Scrolling back through long conversations is now smooth and stable, and loading older history is far more reliable when a workspace has several conversations open at once. A few visual and model-selection quirks were also cleaned up.

Scrolling up through a long transcript no longer lurches or drifts as older messages and tool results settle into place
Loading earlier history now recovers gracefully instead of getting stuck when a workspace's shared connection is busy with other conversations
A long message that arrives already collapsed at the top of the screen no longer flickers open before folding
Selecting the 1M-context option for Claude models now applies consistently across all of them, including previously exempted ones
Added LessWrong and Terminal Greyscale themes, along with small refinements to spacing and floating-panel appearance
Error messages for an empty or unavailable workspace layout are now clearer and more specific, helping pinpoint what went wrong

Unified Chat Styling, Snappier New Chats

2026-07-26T12:00:00Z

The group chat now shares the same message bubbles and composer as agent conversations, giving the whole app a more consistent feel. Starting a brand-new chat panel also feels noticeably faster.

Group chat messages and the message box now use the same visual style as agent conversations, including rendered formatting instead of plain text
Opening a freshly created chat panel now shows its first message box and greeting instantly, without a brief blank moment
Collapsed tool-call summaries now animate open more smoothly
Double-click word selection in the message editor works correctly again
Dragging a chat tab between panels now lands immediately instead of waiting on a round trip
A restored floating panel now appears right at its taskbar icon instead of somewhere else on screen
Signing in through the desktop app now shares your web session more smoothly

Collapsed Tool Runs, Faster Panel Launches, Speed Tiers

2026-07-25T12:00:00Z

Long stretches of an agent's tool work now collapse into a single summary line you can expand, and opening new panels feels quicker and more consistent. Fast mode has also grown into a per-model speed selector.

A completed run of agent tool calls now folds into one line, like "Ran 3 commands, made 2 edits," with the total lines added and removed shown alongside it
Folded runs stay expanded while the agent is still actively working, and can be expanded afterward to see everything that happened
Task-list completions now show a cleaner checkmark divider instead of a "Task Complete" label, and long task or divider text no longer overflows
Panels opened from the command bar now spawn reliably from where you clicked, with smoother, more consistent placement regardless of window size
Fast mode is now a per-model speed tier, selectable from the same menu as thinking depth, and the harness and model menus were unified for a more consistent feel
Fixed an issue where your own unsent draft could briefly appear as if a collaborator had typed it
The Help link in the header now points to Discord and the support inbox

Live Plugin Sync, Clearer Error Details, Presence List

2026-07-24T12:00:00Z

When a collaborator installs or enables a plugin, everyone else in the workspace now sees it appear automatically, and panels they add from it show up for you too. Plugin loading problems now come with a details view instead of just a passing notice.

Enabling, installing, or removing a plugin now updates instantly for everyone connected to the same workspace, not just the person who made the change
Panels a collaborator adds from a newly shared plugin now appear correctly for others viewing the workspace
Plugin load-failure notifications now include a "Details" option showing the underlying cause and a one-click retry
The workspace presence indicator in the header is now a dropdown listing everyone online or recently active, with last-active times and a preview of an upcoming "Follow" feature
Error styling throughout the app was unified to consistently match your active theme's color palette
Dropping a panel into a new spot on the layout now shows a clearer preview of the space it will occupy
Small refinements to the command bar width, docking tooltip, and panel icons

Steadier Presence, Private System Windows

2026-07-23T12:00:00Z

Collaborator cursors and tab indicators are noticeably steadier during layout changes and quick tab switches, and windows like Settings and Plugins now stay private to the person who opened them.

A collaborator's cursor stays planted correctly while you resize or drag panels, even if their pointer is genuinely moving at the same time
Jumping between a pointer and a text caret now glides smoothly as one continuous motion instead of popping between the two forms
Cursors hopping to a tab far off-screen now travel realistically through the tab bar and disappear cleanly at its edge instead of overshooting
Tab presence indicators now show one icon per person collaborating on that tab, stacked together, instead of collapsing early into a plain count
Settings, plugin management, and similar system windows now open only for the person who opened them, rather than appearing for everyone in the workspace
Minor spacing and formatting refinements to chat message rendering

Live Typing Indicators, Steadier Cursors, Fixed Restart

2026-07-22T12:00:00Z

Collaborators now see each other's unsent chat drafts appear live above the message box, and shared cursors behave more naturally when people are on different tabs or panels are being resized.

Unsent text you're typing in a chat is now shown, dimmed and in your color, to others viewing the same conversation, and disappears once you send or clear it
A collaborator's cursor swiping past a panel on a different tab now keeps moving naturally instead of jumping straight to the tab header
Cursors stay perfectly planted in place while you resize or move panels around them, instead of drifting momentarily
Fixed a freeze that could occur when multiple people dragged the same panel divider at the same time
Restarting or putting a workspace to sleep from the computer menu now reliably applies the latest workspace image and reports a clear error if the action can't complete

Live Collaborative Notes, Steadier Multi-Panel Layouts

2026-07-21T12:00:00Z

The Notes panel now supports real-time collaborative editing, so multiple people can write in the same note together with live cursors and no conflicts. Panel layouts also became more predictable when resizing or closing panels near tight spaces.

Notes can now be edited simultaneously by multiple people, with each person's edits merging smoothly and their own undo only affecting their own changes
Remote cursors in shared notes show each person's chosen display name and a consistent color
Closing or resizing panels next to a narrow panel now only adjusts the panels directly beside it, instead of shifting the whole row
Opening a new panel now takes space from the nearest panel rather than resizing everything on screen
Fixed an issue where clearing typed but unsent chat text could cause it to reappear after reloading the page
Cursor and presence indicators for collaborators are steadier and better styled overall

Floating Panels Fly In, Command Bar Stays Put

2026-07-20T12:00:00Z

Panels opened from the command bar now animate smoothly out from under it into a floating window that you can drag straight onto a tile, and the command bar itself no longer misbehaves after running a command.

New panels opened via the command bar now appear as floating windows with a fluid launch-and-glide animation, rather than snapping straight into the tiled layout
A floating panel's dock button can now be dragged to precisely place it into any tiled panel's split zones, or pressed once to dock it onto your most recently focused panel
Fixed the command bar reopening its suggestion list right after you dismissed it
The command bar now keeps your typed text selected after running a command, so you can keep typing without re-clicking into it
Added a spoken "soft-cursor exit" phrase to end a voice session on command, and voice commands for jumping straight to the top or bottom of a panel
Minor spacing refinements to the chat composer's toolbar buttons

Flexible Voice Commands, New Tab Shortcut, Clearer Sign-In Prompts

2026-07-19T12:00:00Z

Voice and slash commands got noticeably more forgiving, a new keyboard shortcut opens a fresh tab in any panel, and opening a private workspace while signed out now takes you straight to sign-in instead of a dead error.

/model and /harness now accept unambiguous shorthand like "opus" instead of requiring the full name
Voice dictation into slash commands now filters out unrelated words, keeping only recognized options, and warns you before mis-set command arguments cause confusion
Voice scroll commands now support fractional amounts, like "scroll up point five"
Added Ctrl+Shift+N (or Alt+Shift+N on Windows/Linux) to open a new tab in whichever panel is focused — a new chat thread, file, terminal session, or browser tab depending on the panel
Opening a workspace you don't have access to while signed out now redirects you to sign-in instead of showing a generic loading failure
The workspace credit-pause threshold changed from -$25 to -$10
Assorted visual polish to the voice input indicator, panel headers, and sub-agent tool cards

Voice Waveform Redesign, Slash Command Polish

2026-07-18T12:00:00Z

The voice input indicator has a new liquid wave animation that reacts more naturally to your voice, and slash commands now show clearer visual feedback as you type them.

Replaced the bar-style voice meter with a fluid, layered wave animation that responds faster and more vividly to speaking volume
Each argument in a slash command now gets its own outlined box as you type it, making command syntax easier to read at a glance
Confirmations and errors from commands like /model and /harness now appear as a note in the chat transcript instead of a temporary popup
Renamed the /thinking command to /effort
Voice commands using words like "to" or "too" are now correctly recognized as the number two
Search fields in the threads and message search panels now focus correctly on desktop without popping open the keyboard on mobile
Message search results now load additional pages as you scroll instead of stopping at a fixed limit
Fixed dragging floating windows so movement stays smooth and accurate throughout longer drags

Mobile Panel Switcher Overhaul and Keyboard Stability

2026-07-16T12:00:00Z

Switching between panels on mobile is now instant and smooth thanks to a new looping wheel-style switcher, and the on-screen keyboard no longer causes the view to jerk, freeze, or hide content while typing.

Added a looping wheel-style panel switcher for mobile that replaces panel tabs, with tactile feedback as you scroll through panels
Panels you've recently viewed now stay ready in the background, so switching between them no longer causes a visible reload or delay
Long-pressing a panel tab now opens a menu anchored directly to that tab instead of a floating overlay
Fixed several cases where the keyboard-avoidance system could get stuck open, hide the bottom of a chat transcript, or block text-selection handles
The voice wake-word feature no longer prompts for microphone access on phones and tablets, since it has no purpose there
Search results lists on mobile now show more results and size themselves to the available space instead of a fixed height
Various layout refinements to the header search bar, chat thread list, and panel menus on mobile

Steadier Scrolling, Smarter Composer Menus, Mobile Panel Launcher

2026-07-15T12:00:00Z

Chat transcripts now behave more naturally on both desktop and mobile, with fixes to text selection, scroll behavior during message streaming, and how account switching interacts with cached machine data.

Selecting and copying chat transcripts now works with normal click-and-drag; a special key combination is used instead to select ASCII art blocks
Chat views on iOS no longer snap or jitter when new messages arrive while the view is bouncing past its edge
Switching accounts no longer briefly shows a previous account's machines while the new account's data loads
The model, harness, and thinking-level menus in the composer stay correctly anchored to their buttons on mobile, including when the on-screen keyboard opens or closes
Tapping into a panel on mobile no longer pops the keyboard unexpectedly — only a direct tap on a text field does
The mobile "+" button now opens a proper panel picker styled for touch, with the best matches placed near your thumb and the search field pinned above the keyboard
The mobile search bar now expands and collapses smoothly, with all moving parts animating together instead of at mismatched speeds

Faster Chat Loading, Steadier Tool Cards

2026-07-14T12:00:00Z

Chat panels now connect much faster when several are open at once, and streaming tool results no longer flicker or lose their expanded state mid-run. Also added plugin-defined settings, a new Harnesses tab, and cleanup of empty chats when their panel closes.

Opening a workspace with many chat panels no longer causes files and terminal panels to connect several seconds late — all chat panels now share a single connection instead of queuing one at a time
Tool result cards (like file reads) no longer restart their spinner or collapse their expanded view when a single result grows into a running list
Settings now supports plugin-defined options, rendered with the same built-in controls as native settings
Added a Harnesses tab under Settings > Agents, listing built-in and custom agent harnesses
Closing a chat panel now quietly removes any empty, unused chat tabs it held, so they no longer linger in your chat history
Fixed the focus ring so it properly follows the app's rounded window corners in more situations
Minor visual polish to diagram pop-outs, markdown rendering, and panel chrome

Plugin Identity Overhaul, BSD Downloads, and a New Browser Panel

2026-07-13T12:00:00Z

Rebuilt how the Plugins window tells apart same-named plugins from different authors, tightened how plugin approvals are tracked, and added a two-surface browser panel along with community BSD desktop downloads.

Plugins that happen to share a name with an unrelated community plugin now show as two separate, clearly labeled rows instead of one confusing merged entry
Plugin approvals are now tied more precisely to each individual plugin, so permissions always apply to exactly the plugin you approved
Added a new browser panel with both a lightweight mirrored view and a full native browsing surface, including per-tab developer tools
Soft-Machine desktop builds are now available for OpenBSD and FreeBSD, with platform detection and shortcuts updated to match

Resolved an issue that silently broke voice wake-word detection in deployed workspaces
Plugin settings now include a Publish to store option for anything you've authored, along with an editable tagline, description, and categories
Publishing opens a single review submission per plugin, with a link back to check its status
Removed the General settings tab; Profile is now the first tab you see when opening Settings
Added a settings and remove-from-workspace action to each plugin row, and tightened spacing across the Plugins window
Reviewed and corrected the in-app plugin documentation against the current codebase for accuracy

Fewer Surprise Reloads, More Durable Panel State

2026-07-11T12:00:00Z

Fixed several situations where the app could reload or log a user out without any action on their part, and continued strengthening how panel layouts and unsaved state survive reloads and moves.

The app no longer reloads itself after isolated slowdowns, transient network blips, or a single failed auth check — these now require a confirmed, repeated signal before acting
A single hiccup from the login service can no longer sign everyone out of every open tab at once
Panel focus and selection outlines now track panel edges and resizing in real time with no visible lag
In-progress work stored in panels is now saved more reliably when a tab closes or reloads unexpectedly
Fixed an issue where a plugin failing to load could prevent other plugins from loading correctly

2026-07-10T12:00:00Z

Community plugins now have their own detailed store pages, the Plugins window was rebuilt around a simpler restricted-mode and one-toggle design, and account deletion now shows exactly what will be removed before you confirm.

Clicking a plugin in the Community store now opens a dedicated listing page with icon, author, install count, category, version, screenshots, and full description
Added a category filter row to the Community store, plus a Presets tab for future community-shared workspace setups
Rebuilt the Plugins window as a single searchable list with one on/off toggle per plugin, a Restricted Mode switch that disables community plugins at once, and a one-click way to update all outdated plugins
Account deletion now shows how many workspaces and machines will be removed, suspends the account immediately, and gives a 30-day window to cancel before permanent erasure
Removed the non-functional invite-by-email and invite-link controls from organization settings, replacing them with a clear notice that invites aren't available yet
Fixed a white screen on mobile dashboards caused by missing editor providers

Plugin Store Groundwork, Toast Notifications, and Selection-Aware Hotkeys

2026-07-09T12:00:00Z

Added a proper notification system for background events, moved the upcoming Community plugin store into the dashboard itself, and made panel shortcuts respect multi-panel selections.

Introduced themed toast notifications for events like plugin installs, plugin load failures, hotkey conflicts, and file errors, replacing several silent failures and error dialogs
The Community tab now opens inside the dashboard alongside your workspaces, rather than as a separate page, matching how workspace categories already behave
Redesigned the Plugin Manager panel with elevated cards, App-Store-style install pills, and a cleaner section label, removing a redundant header bar
Keyboard shortcuts for folding, floating, hiding headers, and closing panels now apply to every panel in a multi-panel selection instead of only the focused one
Unified sidebar tab spacing so the workspace scope tabs and the new Community tab line up consistently

Bulk Panel Actions, Todo Rendering, and a Shared Tab Strip

2026-07-08T12:00:00Z

Multiselected panels can now be acted on as a group, task and plan updates from Soft-Bot get their own dedicated todo display, and tab bars across chat, terminal, and editor panels now share consistent behavior.

Added an actions menu to the multiselect control pill for closing, folding, or unfolding every selected panel at once
Task and plan tools now render as checklist rows with a shared container, rather than as raw tool cards, and completions show a clear 'Task Complete' marker
Unified the tab strip behavior across chat, terminal, and editor panels, including drag-to-reorder, drag between panels, inline renaming, and the active tab automatically scrolling into view
Refreshed the visual outline and dissolve animation used when releasing a panel selection
Updated in-app documentation and Soft-Bot's guidance to reflect the current plugin and panel system, removing outdated example plugins

Multiselect Panels, Chat History Browsing, and Voice Wake Word

2026-07-07T12:00:00Z

Introduced shift-click and shift-drag multiselection across panels, letting several panels be selected together and typed into at once, alongside a new voice wake word and a workspace-wide Chat History panel. Numerous refinements followed to make multiselect feel precise and predictable.

Added shift-click and shift-drag panel multiselection: dragging traces a path across panels and selects only the ones it crosses, with a smoothed outline drawn around the group and typed input broadcast to every selected panel
Escape or a plain click now reliably dismisses a multiselect group and returns focus to the appropriate panel, including cases where focus was sitting inside a text field
Refined the multiselect outline and drag trail rendering so selection boundaries and cursor paths look smoother and connect cleanly at corners
Added a new Chat History panel that opens directly into a browsable, most-recent-first view of workspace chat messages, with full-text search layered on top

Tuned the idle catch-up summary shown when returning to an inactive chat, and gave it distinct, more readable styling

Composer Personalization & Sticky-Scroll Reliability

2026-07-06T12:00:00Z

Custom rules and skills set in Settings now actually shape how Soft-Bot responds, and chat scrolling is noticeably more trustworthy during active conversations. A round of visual polish also landed across menus, panels, and the composer.

Rules and skills saved under Settings → Rules & Skills are now included in Soft-Bot's instructions, applying from the next new conversation
Fixed chat unexpectedly stopping auto-scroll during fast-moving exchanges by only disengaging on deliberate scrolling, touch, or keyboard input rather than incidental layout shifts
Made Fable 5 the new default chat model
Standardized right-click menus and dropdown submenus to size and flip consistently near screen edges, and stopped menu labels from wrapping awkwardly
Refined visual details across the chat panel, including model/harness label truncation, ASCII art framing, panel focus outlines, and composer spacing

Mermaid Pop-Outs & Composer Refinements

2026-07-05T12:00:00Z

Mermaid diagrams can now be popped out into their own floating window, and Soft-Bot is better at reaching for diagrams when explaining things. Chat also picked up a reworked follow-up suggestion bar, a more compact thread list, and several small visual refinements.

Added a pop-out button on inline diagrams that opens them in a resizable floating window; reopening the same diagram focuses its existing window instead of duplicating it
Taught the assistant to illustrate architectures, flows, and state machines with diagrams rather than plain text art
Restyled follow-up suggestions as a compact horizontal bar tucked behind the message composer, replacing the old floating chip row and loading skeletons
Simplified the conversation threads list to single-line rows showing just the title and time, for a more compact overview
Refined hover styling on message fork/copy buttons and tightened composer spacing

Dropdown Redesign & Panel Pop-Out Windows

2026-07-04T12:00:00Z

Rebuilt every header dropdown menu on a shared, denser design and added the ability to pop panels like Settings out into their own native desktop windows. Also removed the Publish feature from the editor and landing page.

Removed the Publish button and related workspace sharing controls from the editor and landing page headers

Chat Scroll & Voice Fixes

2026-07-03T12:00:00Z

Resolved a cluster of chat interface issues affecting scrolling, voice commands, and message loading, alongside several smaller interface refinements. Conversations now open and scroll more predictably, and voice-driven chat is fully functional again.

Fixed conversations loading history top-down with a visible scroll-in; transcripts now appear already settled in their final position
Restored voice commands for switching chat tabs and scrolling within a conversation, and fixed a bug where voice 'send' submitted messages twice
Corrected scroll position jumps when loading older messages further up in a conversation
Fixed follow-up suggestion chips animating in again when simply switching back to a previously viewed chat tab
Rebound a panel-header shortcut that was silently broken on Mac keyboards, and adjusted the landing page header so 'Sign in' no longer wraps on medium-width screens
Removed desktop download buttons on phone screens in favor of a direct link to the browser app

Faster Workspace Opens

2026-07-02T12:00:00Z

Reduced redundant network requests when opening a workspace, cutting down on load time by fetching the workspace data once instead of up to four times.

Consolidated multiple internal systems that were each independently fetching the same workspace data into a single shared request
Removed a sign-in check that was clearing cached workspace data on every app load, even when no user actually changed
Stopped waiting on session verification before starting the workspace fetch, letting the two happen in parallel and only retrying if a real authentication issue occurs
Preserved correct behavior for first-time visitors and share links, where the fetch is retried automatically once a session is established

Guide Agent Stability & Workspace Thumbnails

2026-06-15T12:00:00Z

Fixed Guide conversation flow by restructuring message parsing to prevent tool calls from attaching to incorrect steps and eliminate response replaying. Enhanced screenshot capture to display authentic workspace content with the owner's actual data instead of empty panels.

Rebuilt Guide agent message parsing from accumulated text diffing to an ordered step model, ensuring tool calls bind to the exact dialogue step they were emitted under and eliminating responses appearing to replay from scratch
Fixed workspace thumbnails so they show real workspace content including chat messages and notes rather than empty panels
Fixed Guide dialogue duplication where earlier conversation blocks were restated during tool continuations, causing the same steps to appear multiple times at the end of responses
Enhanced thumbnails for already-running workspaces to show actual IDE content, without waking workspaces that are inactive

Chat V3 Message Ordering & Model Management

2026-06-14T12:00:00Z

Fixed message block ordering in Chat V3 to ensure AI responses appear in the correct sequence, and updated the model selection with improved Kimi offerings. Added copy functionality for user messages and enabled agent identity prompts across all conversation types.

Resolved message block ordering where AI text responses appeared above tool calls instead of after them, fixing cases where early text blocks were anchored at the wrong position
Updated model selection to replace the discontinued Kimi K2 Thinking with Kimi K2.7 Code and repositioned it above K2.6 in the picker for better prominence
Added copy button next to the fork button on user messages with hover reveal and confirmation checkmark animation
Fixed late thinking traces that arrived after the main response to properly fold into existing thought blocks rather than creating phantom trailing content
Enabled Soft-Bot identity prompts to reach all conversation harnesses, ensuring agents maintain consistent personality and capabilities across different model backends

Performance & Polish

2026-06-13T12:00:00Z

Improved workspace startup times, fixed layout issues on the marketing site, and enhanced chat panel responsiveness. Several performance optimizations reduce render overhead and eliminate UI flicker.
