Your other computers, goal mode for leads, and a softer look

CmdBrief 0.5.52 brings your computers together, lets leads work toward a goal on their own, and softens the whole app. It also covers 0.5.50 and 0.5.51, which were never released.

Also in 0.5.52

New
Goal mode for leads. Set a goal and CmdBrief checks in on the lead, and wakes it if it is asleep, until the goal is met.
New
Your other computers. Pair computers from Settings with a code, then open another computer's workspaces here, with its terminals, agent panes, file explorer, files and git changes. The line is direct on your network and goes through CmdBrief Cloud when no direct one comes up.
New
Leads message leads. Leads can message the leads of other workspaces, and a closed lead starts when one does.
New
Agents and Workspaces tabs. The sidebar has Agents and Workspaces tabs, with a status light on each row.
New
Sleeping agents. Idle agents go to sleep and wake as soon as anything is sent to them.
New
Past a usage limit. Agents continue by themselves after a usage limit, with a countdown in the pane. Switching accounts moves running agents to the new one.
New
Updates to your chat-app bots. Each project's updates can go straight to one of your chat-app bots, and crew members' questions reach your chat apps too.
New
Crew report pace. A workspace chooses how soon its lead gets its crew's reports: Auto, Right away, 1 minute or 15 minutes.
New
Setup installs agents. The setup card installs and signs in agents itself.
New
A shorter first run. First run is a short launch animation and three pages instead of eleven screens.
Improved
Soft surfaces. Stage and the top bar use soft fills instead of outlines, and the Needs you pill is hard to miss.
Improved
Newest first. The agents list shows the newest first inside each band, and how long ago a lead finished.
Improved
Less CPU. CmdBrief uses less CPU in front and while nobody is watching.
Improved
Crews in chat apps. Chat apps see a crew's full seats and choose how a message reaches a busy lead.
Improved
Managed SSH hosts. Managed SSH hosts with their own key take scp, sftp, rsync and ssh options directly.
Improved
Copy and Run. The needs-you card's text can be copied, and untagged command blocks get a Run button.
Improved
Six feature films. Six new feature films in the film library.
Improved
Security updates. Security updates in a networking library.
Fixed
Crew messages keep sending. Crew messages keep sending when attachment storage is full.
Fixed
Failed steps say why. A failed step says why it failed, with secrets removed.
Fixed
Stopped agents leave Needs you. Stopped agents no longer sit in Needs you.
Fixed
Answers settle requests. An approval or answer in a pane settles that agent's help request.
Fixed
Background shells count. A lead's background shells count as work, so its row stops reading Finished.
Fixed
Question options in order. Question options stay in letter order.
Fixed
No false relay warning. The false "statusline relay is behind" usage warning is gone.
Fixed
Dock restore. A Dock restore no longer minimizes the window again.
Fixed
Window size on restore. A window restored too small opens at the first-launch size.

0.5.49Oct 20, 2026

Change models and give a lead its own updates from your chat app

Ask Grok Bot to put an agent on another model, or to send one lead's updates to a chat of its own.

New
Models from your chat app. Ask your chat app to put a lead or a crew member on another model or effort, and CmdBrief switches it as Session settings would, keeping its conversation. Off until you turn on Change models from chat apps in Settings > Account; each change shows as a notification.
New
A lead's own updates. Ask your chat app to give one lead a webhook of its own, such as a routine just for that project, and that project's updates go there instead of to every chat. Each one shows in the connection's Updates, with Send test and Remove.
Improved
Reach no workspace. A chat app connection can reach no workspace on a computer: choose None in its Workspaces, and nothing from that computer is posted to it.
Improved
Models in status. Your chat app sees which model and effort each lead and crew member runs.
Fixed
Each connection once. Settings > Account lists each chat app connection once, each with Disconnect, and the setup to add another follows them. Each connection says which computer's workspaces it reaches, since every computer chooses its own.
Fixed
Security updates. Security updates in a networking library.

0.5.48Oct 20, 2026

Send files to a lead from your chat app

Ask Grok Bot to send a lead your mockups or a PDF: it gives you a private link, and the files land in the project with your note.

New
Files from your chat app. Ask your chat app to send a lead files and it gives you a private link for that project. Pick the files there; they land in the project's folder and the lead gets them with what you said. Images, PDFs and text files, up to 10 at a time, for 30 minutes.
Improved
Chat app workspaces. Picking the workspaces a chat app connection reaches shows your sidebar's folders, with search once you have more than six workspaces.

0.5.47Oct 20, 2026

Chat app updates through your account, and named connections

Set a Grok Bot webhook once and every computer sends its updates there, and each chat app connection shows its name and when it was last used.

New
Updates through your account. Set a chat app connection's webhook once and every computer you use sends its updates there. A webhook set on a computer before moves up on its own.
New
Two accounts of one chat app. Two Grok Bot accounts each get their own workspaces and their own updates.
Improved
Chat app connections. Each connection shows its name and when it was last used, with Rename, Updates, Workspaces and Disconnect in one row.
Improved
Send test. The test post names the connection it is for, so you can see which chat app account it is.

0.5.46Oct 20, 2026

Run chat commands in place, and link a workspace to your team's board

A command run from chat opens in a terminal over the composer, and a workspace can keep its Tasks on dashboard.cmdbrief.com.

New
Team board. Link a workspace to dashboard.cmdbrief.com and keep its Tasks on the team's board.
New
Commands in chat. A command run from chat opens in a terminal over the composer, so sudo and prompts work in place. Select, copy and expand its output.
New
Markdown in Finder. Show a Markdown file in Finder from its window.
Improved
Agents list order. Agents are listed in bands: needs you, review, pinned, working, quiet, dormant.
Improved
Open questions. An open question is answered with what you type, so a message no longer waits behind it.

0.5.45Oct 19, 2026

See and steer your leads on every computer

Leads running on your other computers show up in the sidebar, you can start a project from one brief, and a chat app gets each reply and can start or change a lead's crew.

New
Leads on your other computers. The sidebar groups your other computers under the workspace tree, a new page lists every lead on every computer, and you can open a remote lead, read its chat, answer its questions and see the requests from every computer.
New
Start a project from one brief. The Start a project sheet takes a folder or repo, a workspace, a lead and the kickoff steps in one go, offers only the agents that can lead on the chosen computer, and retries a start that got no answer.
New
Settings › Computers. Name each computer and say what it is for, so chat apps send new projects to the right one. The page explains why no other computers are listed when the link is down.
New
Autopilot for leads. A lead's plan and crew can start on their own at the project's autopilot level. Autopilot answers a crew's tool requests inside the project folder, holds new members at a usage limit and reports milestones.
New
Chat app controls. A chat app can start a lead's crew or change it with two buttons, and a plan it sends starts on Auto rather than Careful. Each message gets its own reply, and you are told when none is coming.
New
Git gate. Agents' GitHub pushes can go through a VM that checks each push. Dev deploy tags and prod releases can be approved from your phone.
New
Run a code block's command. A command in an agent's code block runs with one press, and a chat selection can run past one screen and copy whole.
Improved
Longer chat replies. A lead's whole reply reaches the chat app, up to 4,000 characters, and the CmdBrief tool replies agents read are shorter.
Improved
Claude limits stay fresh. The active Claude account's limits stay current without a running Claude.
Improved
Hosts with their own key. Agents can reach hosts that sign with their own key file.
Improved
Grok Bot setup and new tabs. Grok Bot is set up one step at a time from Settings, and new agent tabs open on Stage. A first setup no longer shows release notes.
Fixed
Idle lead ring. A lead's ring keeps turning while it works past a finished plan.
Fixed
Stuck crew reports. Crew reports now reach a lead that looks busy with no turn open.
Fixed
Wrong wording when sharing is off. Remote control and pictures now say this computer rather than the Mac when they are off.

0.5.43Oct 15, 2026

Fixes a crash a minute after launch

CmdBrief no longer quits about 60 seconds after launch when no browser pane has been opened.

Fixed
Crash a minute after launch. CmdBrief 0.5.41 and 0.5.42 could quit about 60 seconds after launch on a Mac that had not opened a browser pane yet. The cleanup of old browser logins now waits until the first browser pane exists.

0.5.42Oct 15, 2026

Question pictures in your chat app, and push only when you're away

A chat app connected through remote control can show the pictures that come with an agent's question, and push holds what is new while you are at the Mac.

New
Question pictures in chat apps. With Settings › Account › Send question pictures on (off by default), a chat app connected through remote control, such as Grok, can fetch the pictures that come with an agent's question, scaled down, and show them where you answer.
New
Push only when I'm away. Push holds new requests and lead notes while you are at the Mac and sends them once the screen locks, the display sleeps, or there is no input for 2, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. What you answer at the Mac is dropped.

0.5.41Oct 15, 2026

Improved

Improved

0.5.40Oct 13, 2026

A Token meter, a crew prompt cache setting and ! lines

The right rail gets a Token meter, Crew setup gets a prompt cache setting, and CmdBrief now runs the crew's seats, waits and status instead of the lead.

New
Token meter. The right rail has a Token meter section.
New
Crew prompt cache. Settings › Crew setup › Crew prompt cache (Auto, 5 min, 1 hour) sets how long Claude keeps a crew member's conversation cached.
New
! lines. A line starting with ! typed in the lead's box or a crew member's field now runs.
New
Task context size. A lead can size one task's context with compact_window on cmdbrief_agent_restart.
New
Model guide. The lead reads a Model guide when it proposes seats.
Improved
Crew bookkeeping. CmdBrief runs the crew's seats, waits and status instead of the lead.
Improved
Account changes. A Claude conversation whose account was signed in as someone else counts as cold, since a prompt cache does not carry over between accounts.
Improved
Questions through the ask tool. Agents ask the user only through the ask tool, never by parsing reply text.
Improved
On-stage crew card. The crew card on stage has a full accent edge.
Improved
Sidebar agent list. The sidebar remembers whether the agent list was expanded across restarts.
Improved
Browser screenshots. A browser screenshot is answered with the picture, so a look takes one call.
Improved
Lighter crew sessions. A crew's Claude sessions carry less in every call, and their general subagents run on Sonnet.
Improved
Finished plans. A crew member is asked to mark its task finished when its plan is complete.
Improved
Usage index. CmdBrief no longer copies and rewrites the whole usage index every 30 seconds.
Fixed
Run in terminal. The Run in terminal command handoff works again.
Fixed

Fixed
Codex model. A Codex member keeps its model when its session is replaced.
Fixed
Picture steering. A picture message sent into a running turn says Steering….

Sidebar logo. The >_ logo tile shows beside the CmdBrief wordmark at the top of the sidebar and in the collapsed rail again.

0.5.38Oct 11, 2026

Steadier ChatGPT plans and a lighter sidebar

CmdBrief for ChatGPT answers while the Mac is away, keeps one waiting plan per send and keeps plan panel edits across reloads, and the sidebar starts lighter.

Improved
ChatGPT while CmdBrief is closed. Asking ChatGPT how your crew is doing, or opening CmdBrief home, answers even when CmdBrief is closed, and a plan is called a draft until you send it.
Improved
Plan panel Send. The Send sheet lists only agents that can lead on this Mac.
Improved
Crew cards. In-progress crew cards move like working cards.
Improved
Lighter sidebar. The Disk Analyzer and the larger sidebar metrics panels are off by default. Turn them on in Settings › History & storage and Sidebar & panels.
Fixed
One plan per send. Sending the same plan from the ChatGPT panel and the chat leaves one plan waiting in CmdBrief.
Fixed
Plan panel edits. Your edits in the plan panel survive a chat reload, and the unsaved-edits warning shows only after an edit.
Fixed
Plan panel layout. The plan panel's edit boxes fit again after ChatGPT resizes the panel.

0.5.37Oct 11, 2026

ChatGPT plans on a new Mac and leaner crew starts

Plans from ChatGPT get their own workspace on a brand-new Mac and update in place when sent again, crew status names the next step, and crew members start leaner.

Improved
New projects from ChatGPT. A project you send from ChatGPT gets its own workspace in ~/Projects even when the Mac has no projects folder yet. Nothing is made until you confirm it in CmdBrief.
Improved
Crew status from ChatGPT. Asking how your crew is doing names the next step, and a name that isn't a workspace gets your workspaces instead of an error.
Improved
Leaner crew starts. Crew members start without unused connectors, bundled skills and repeated rules, and a lead's restart snapshot stays within 8 KiB.
Fixed
Plan updates from ChatGPT. Changing a plan in ChatGPT and sending it again updates the plan waiting in CmdBrief instead of adding a second one.
Fixed
ChatGPT plan panel. The plan panel no longer says CmdBrief isn't running while it is.
Fixed
Codex limits. Codex limits stay hidden when the Codex CLI isn't installed.
Fixed
Crash reports. Crash reports and feedback no longer carry the Mac's name, and onboarding says plainly what leaves the Mac.

0.5.36Oct 10, 2026

Reliable dictation translation and subagent models

Dictation translates reliably, offers more transcribers and can send when finished, and Claude subagent cards name the model they run on.

New
Send when finished. Dictation can send the message as soon as the dictated turn ends instead of leaving it in the box. Off by default.
New
More transcribers. Advanced > Model lists elevenlabs/scribe-v2, meta/muse-voice-transcribe-1.0 and google/gemini-3.5-transcribe beside MAI.
Improved
Subagent model. A Claude subagent's card leads with the model it runs on.
Fixed
Dictation translation. Transcribe then translate no longer inserts the Estonian as heard. The default translation model is now openai/gpt-6-luna.

0.5.35Oct 10, 2026

Calm Slate redesign, pictures in chat and a rebuilt Voice

A calmer look across the sidebar, workspace pages, agent panes and crew, leads that answer with charts, flows and choices, a redesigned Voice with dictation, and an Agent limits window.

Watch 0.5.35 · 10 films

The app’s own interface, rendered from its code, with fictional sample work and music made in code.

One page per workspace

Each workspace opens on one page: switch between Overview, Stage and Grid, answer your lead from the Overview, and see the lead large with its crew beside it.

Answers as pictures

Your lead can answer with a picture: a flow, a choice, pins, stats or a plan. Flip it to text, or pick an option and press Go to answer.

Questions with pictures

When a question points at images, its card shows them as numbered thumbnails. Expand them to compare side by side, then pick your answer.

Talk instead of typing

Click the mic and speak: your words land in the message box as you talk and follow you to the pane you move to. Nothing sends until you do.

Set up voice in a minute

Settings › Voice walks you through dictation and the voice assistant: choose what it may do, add your key, and try dictation before you finish.

Fair stats after a switch

When a crew member changes CLI or model, its numbers start a new stint. Compare any two stints side by side, or snapshot the whole crew.

Every workspace on one screen

The Workspaces view shows every lead and crew at work. Click a crew chip to put that member on stage, zoom a cell over the grid and page through.

Your sidebar, at a glance

Workspace groups fold as folders, a lead that needs you stands out, and This Mac shows your usage limits, one click from Agent limits.

Start a project your way

Start with one lead, a crew, or a lead per part: point at the project folder, give the goal, and choose to fade the panes you are not in.

Plan in ChatGPT, build here

A plan from ChatGPT waits for your yes. Confirm it as the roadmap, send it to your lead, and watch phase one start on the Overview.

New
Calm Slate look. The sidebar, workspace Overview, Stage and Grid, agent pane, composer and crew cards share one quieter style, with one colour per workspace and a glowing ring on each lead.
New
Pictures in chat. A lead can answer with a chart, table, flow diagram, crew roster, step plan, annotated image or a set of choices. Switch any picture to its text, and answer a choice with Go.
New
Voice and dictation. Settings > Voice is redesigned with a setup check. The composer mic types speech into the message box, choose your microphone, and Bluetooth headsets keep full sound.
New
Agent limits window. Open Agent limits full-window from the workspace grid, with your top agents by usage.
New
Crew stints. Switching a crew member's CLI or model starts a new stint, and Analytics compares any two.
New
QA sweep for testers. A built-in QA sweep playbook has testers audit the app with Haiku auditor subagents.
New
Feature films. Ten new feature films in the app show the new features in use.
Improved
Resume with context. Parked and finished agents resume with their recent context and no restart message, and Resume and Continue follow your cold-resume setting.
Improved
Whole tool instructions for Claude. Claude panes receive CmdBrief's tool instructions in full.
Improved
Crew compact window. A crew member keeps its compact window through a CLI switch and restarts.
Improved
Resuming projects. Resuming a project no longer freezes the app.
Fixed
Needs you after a stop. Stopping a session mid-question clears its Needs you.

0.5.34Oct 9, 2026

ChatGPT plugin, Cursor and Grok agents, and a Quick crew tier

Plan a project in ChatGPT and send it to CmdBrief, run Cursor and Grok agents, add a Quick crew tier with Haiku helpers, and preview iOS simulators natively. Includes the changes from 0.5.32 and 0.5.33, which were not released separately.

New
CmdBrief plugin for ChatGPT. ChatGPT plans a project as phases with checkable gates and sends it, with its images, to CmdBrief, where it waits until you confirm it as the roadmap and start a lead. Works as a local plugin and, through Settings > Account > ChatGPT, from ChatGPT on the web.
New
Cursor and Grok agents. Add Cursor and Grok agents to a workspace or crew, with refined handoffs between crew members.
New
Quick crew tier and Haiku helpers. A fourth crew tier for fast work, plus Haiku helper subagents. A notice warns when a Haiku 5.5 crew member compacts past its price step.
New
Guided project setup. The setup intro asks where the project is (drop a folder, choose one, or pick a workspace), offers several leads, one per part of the project, and asks whether to fade the panes you aren't in. The sidebar shows each workspace's project folder under its name.
New
Native iOS simulator preview. An opt-in native simulator preview with responsive Stage controls; iOS preview and controls use it by default.
New
Automatic Clear + Recent. Configure automatic Clear + Recent for agents, with per-crew overrides, plus a 1M and a 100k auto-compact window in the pickers.
New
Crew timing analytics. Analytics shows where crew time goes, and output tokens per second appear under finished chat turns, on crew cards and per provider.
New
Terminal emblem. An animated terminal emblem behind agent chats, with a Chat emblem toggle in Settings > Appearance > Window, and a slimmer app-wide scrollbar.
Improved
Idle CPU. Idle CPU on a real profile drops from about 16-18% to about 9.7%.
Improved
Less crew context waste. Handoff prompts are bounded and crew context is trimmed, and runs of CmdBrief messages fold in the chat.
Improved
Defaults. Codex Standard defaults to gpt-6.1-sol, a default agent whose usage window is spent is skipped when picking a crew CLI, and the Lead quick actions toggle moves to Settings > Conversations.
Fixed
Crew waiting status. Crew members show the right waiting status, and testing preferences are honored.
Fixed
Browser views under modals. Browser web views hide under every modal, not only listed ones.
Fixed
Chat keyboard input. Chat keyboard input is kept while an agent drives the browser.

0.5.31Oct 5, 2026

Pictures in conversations and clearer session recovery

Local image references show their pictures, stopped drafts get a review before sending, and restart recovery selects work that was running at close.

New
Clear + recent in crew settings. Apply session edits with the original request and recent messages, preserving full history, drafts and queued messages.
Improved
Stopped conversation sends. The first Enter reviews Clear + recent + send, and a second Enter confirms. Cancel restores the draft and attachments; key repeats and Shift+Enter do not confirm.
Improved
Crew work status. Automatic waits on teammates or a usage-limit reset share the Working status and activity indicator across crew cards, tabs, filters and the sidebar.
Fixed
Pictures in conversations. Local Markdown image references show clickable thumbnails and captions, with relative paths resolved against the conversation's working directory.
Fixed
Resume project selection. Only projects with work running at the last close start selected. Idle, stopped and previously deferred projects remain available without starting selected.
Fixed
Terminal card layout. Browser controls stay below terminal cards in the Stage sidebar.

0.5.29Oct 5, 2026

Zoom into any workspace grid cell

Grow a workspace grid cell over the whole grid for a closer look, then shrink it back with the grid untouched. The Simple view stays out of release builds for now.

New
Zoom a grid cell. Grow any cell over the whole grid, focused, then shrink it back. While zoomed, moving focus to another cell grows that one, so the cell shortcuts page through your workspaces.
Improved
Grid stays whole. Zoom replaces Show alone, so you no longer leave the grid to look at one workspace. The grid always comes back as you arranged it.
Fixed
Simple view held back. The Simple view no longer appears in the view picker of release builds, and a saved Simple choice falls back to Standard.

0.5.28Oct 4, 2026

Copy all Markdown and edit the crew together

Copy a complete Markdown draft, find every document action by its icon, and change the crew from its column controls. Sidebar statistics stay visible, and crew style choices keep their own file.

New
Copy all Markdown. Copy the complete Markdown source while editing or previewing, including unsaved changes. Empty documents disable the action.
Improved
Document actions. Save, edit, preview, copy, discard, add to chat and note actions use matching SVG icons. Toolbars wrap in narrow windows, and destructive actions keep their confirmation.
Improved
Edit the crew together. Use the Job, Tier, Agent, Model, Effort, Fast and Compact at column controls to change selected members, or visible members when none are selected. Review the changes and apply when ready.
Fixed
Sidebar statistics. Machine statistics stay visible when heavy-job usage and provider limits fill the footer.
Fixed
Crew style files. Crew style choices live in their own file and preserve the project’s style guide. Loading a guide moves choices saved by older builds.
Fixed
Crew alerts and restarts. Alerts and restarted session names follow the crew member’s current workspace role.
Fixed
Crew review progress. Project gate changes reach the lead, available simulator slots notify waiting agents, and dev-server starts wait for a response before reporting readiness.

0.5.27Oct 3, 2026

Crew overview, questions beside your draft, and resume projects

Review the whole crew in one editor, answer questions beside your draft, resume selected projects after a restart, and find settings in place. Seven new films show the features in the app, alongside improvements to background CPU work and live voice.

Watch 0.5.27 · 7 films

The app’s own interface, rendered from its code, with fictional sample work and music made in code.

Crew overview

Review every crew session in one editor, change several members together, and apply when the settings are ready.

Your words, their reports

When a crew report shares your turn, your bubble keeps only your words. Open its own row for the report and screenshot; IDs and checksums wait behind Delivery details.

Answer right where you type

What the agent needs from you docks over the message box. Pick a choice or write your own words, then send the answers together.

Result pages

Open the page your crew published, review its version beside the conversation, and approve it or ask the lead for a change.

Resume projects

After a restart, choose the projects to resume, review their lead and crew, and carry on with their saved conversations.

Search Settings

Press Command-F in Settings to find matching controls in place, change them right there, and save.

Stop lead & crew

Stop a lead and its whole crew while keeping conversations and unsent drafts. Resume them together: interrupted work continues and idle members return without a new task.

New
Crew overview. Review the lead and every crew member in one editor, filter or group sessions, and change several agents together. Undo a row or apply when ready; busy sessions finish their current turn before switching.
New
Questions beside your draft. Questions dock over the message box. Pick choices or write an answer in your own words, then send the answers together.
New
Result pages. Agents can publish a versioned result page with its status, checks, outstanding work and evidence. Open its card beside the conversation and review that exact version.
New
Search Settings. Settings is grouped into shorter pages. Command-F finds matching controls in place, with counts per page, so you can change them from the results and save.
New
Seven feature films. Watch Crew overview, Your words and their reports, Answer right where you type, Result pages, Resume projects, Search Settings and Stop lead & crew. The app and website now list all 34 films.
Improved
Resume projects. After a restart, review projects across every workspace, grouped like the sidebar folders. Recent projects start selected; inspect the agents, resume the ones you need, and leave the others stopped for later.
Improved
Stop and resume a crew. Stop the lead and its crew together while keeping conversations and unsent drafts. Resuming continues interrupted work and reconnects idle members without giving them a new task.
Improved
Every message keeps its author. Your bubble keeps your words and attachments when a crew report shares the turn. Reports, requests, FYIs and CmdBrief context have their own expandable rows; delivery IDs, checksums and routing stay behind Delivery details.
Improved
Less background CPU work. Animations and UI wakeups follow window focus and visibility. Shared crew inbox reads, sidebar summaries, conversation presentation and thumbnails are cached between changes.
Improved
CLI updates. CLI update checks start behind Settings, and OpenCode discovery stays passive until needed.
Improved
Voice project names. Spoken project names can match their written equivalents, with confirmation candidates when a name needs review.
Fixed
Live voice interruptions. Improve interruption timing and handle trailing silence without dropping the end of the response.
Fixed
Copy from replies. Inline code copies reliably and reports which value was copied.
Fixed
Fresh result cards. A newly published result appears in the sidebar and conversation without waiting for the artifact cache to expire.
Fixed
Settings and stopped sessions. Save session settings while stopped, return held messages to the composer on Stop, and label the stopped state consistently regardless of how it was stopped.
