Releases
Changelog
Every Conan release, newest first. The app updates itself — these are the notes for what shipped and when.
-
Agents in the HUD
A new Agents tab shows every Claude Code subagent installed on your machine and what each one does.
- New Agents HUD tab beside Skills — your global agents, the project’s agents, and plugin-shipped agents in one list, each with its description, tools, and on-disk path.
- Skill descriptions written as YAML block scalars now render correctly in the Skills tab (no more literal “>-”), and skills-considered scoring sees the full description again.
-
Conan Setup in the box
New terminals can open into a spec-first project setup that ends with a real PRD and CLAUDE.md before Claude starts.
- Conan Setup ships bundled: pick a method, get interviewed about the goal, and start Claude with a reviewed PRD.md and CLAUDE.md.
- “Start Claude instead” skips setup with one keystroke — and Settings ▸ Terminal can turn setup off entirely.
- Auto context tracking is now opt-in, so Conan doesn’t spend your context to measure it unless you ask.
-
Files panel
A new Files panel lets you watch Claude work the filesystem while you work the terminal.
- Browse the active terminal’s working directory beside the Timeline — the panel follows along as you cd.
- Files Claude has edited or read this session are flagged, so you can see exactly where the agent has been.
-
Claude Radio reconnects itself
Claude Radio now finds the current live stream on every launch, and a What’s New note recaps each update.
- Claude Radio resolves the live broadcast at startup — no more “Offline” when the stream’s video rotates.
- A one-time “What’s New” note after you update, so you can see what each release brings.
-
One-click upgrade
Upgrading is now a single click — the paywall buttons go straight to checkout.
- The “Upgrade” buttons in the Timeline, Pulse, and Radio now open the Polar checkout directly instead of routing through Settings.
- Settings ▸ License stays the place to paste your license after purchase.
-
Buy Premium checkout fix
Fixed the Settings ▸ License “Buy Premium” button so it opens the real checkout.
- Previously an internal default shadowed the checkout link and sent the button to the homepage; it now lands on the Polar checkout.
-
Checkout link + new model families
Wired the live checkout and taught Context/Usage capture about new Claude model families.
- “Buy Premium” points at the live Polar checkout.
- Context and Usage now parse new model families (e.g. Claude Fable 5) — model name and per-model rows render correctly where they were blank before.
-
Session correlation restored
Restored the link between the terminal and its Claude Code session after an upstream change removed session markers.
- Marker-independent correlation — Conan now matches the live session by process, so the Timeline, ↻ Context / ↻ Usage buttons, and the Compact bar all work again.
- The Usage probe is hardened: it retries once and surfaces errors instead of silently showing nothing.
- The Sonnet weekly rate-limit window is captured reliably.
-
Seven observability fixes
A maintenance pass tightening per-tab state and the live widgets.
- Per-tab working directory — background tabs no longer hijack the app-wide folder, and the footer’s cwd + git branch follow the active tab.
- Tabs name themselves from their folder; manual renames still win.
- The Timeline’s Build chip survives a full build-loop iteration instead of vanishing.
- The “waiting for your input” nudge is filtered everywhere; real permission prompts still come through.
- Account-global Usage rate-limit windows show on every tab.
-
Conan 1.0 — first public release
A terminal-primary native macOS app that wraps and observes Claude Code, with a live DevTools-style HUD.
- A full terminal running your normal Claude Code login, in your working directory.
- The HUD — Context, Usage, Pulse, Skills, and MCP, live beside the terminal.
- The Timeline (⌘\) surfaces session activity as it happens: hook events, skills fired, the “skills considered” heuristic, plan/loop rows, and build trails.
- Claude Radio for background audio, plus a signed built-in auto-update channel.
- Free to run as a live observer; Premium ($29 once, lifetime of 1.x, unlimited Macs) unlocks the full insight layer.
