Runner 0.16.0
Runner 0.16.0 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.15.3. Before you upgrade This release changes the database: each chat and mission session now stores the settings it was started with, and the old per-session runtime, model and effort columns are removed. Once 0.16.0 has opened your data, earlier Runner versions can no longer read your chats and missions.
Runner 0.15.3
Runner 0.15.3 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.15.2. Bug fixes Independent mission sessions. A session finishing, crashing, or failing to start no longer stops its siblings or prevents later slots from starting. Stop all and Archive still stop the whole mission. (#874) Image paste on Windows. Large images copied from WeChat no longer disconnect Runner from its daemon. Claude Code receives its Windows image-paste shortcut in both chats and mission panes. (#875) Reliable connection cleanup on Windows.
Runner 0.15.2
Runner 0.15.2 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.15.1. New Grok Build runtime. Run the Grok Build CLI in chats, roles and missions. Stop/resume and native fork keep the selected conversation, model and effort can be chosen in Runner, and Grok shows up in Settings with its MCP servers. On Windows, Grok's status is read from the terminal because its status hooks are off there. (#723, #871, #872) Cursor and Grok Build on by default. Both runtimes are now enabled by default, and TRAE CLI becomes opt-in.
Runner 0.15.1
Runner 0.15.1 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.15.0. Bug fixes Option+arrow moves by word. On macOS, Option+Left and Option+Right at a zsh or bash prompt now move the cursor by word instead of typing C or D. Word movement in Codex and Claude Code keeps working. (#855, #864) Lighter selection in light Glass. The selected row in Settings and the sidebar is a light, translucent highlight again instead of a heavy grey block. A dragged sidebar row now keeps the size of the row it came from. (#859,
Runner 0.15.0
Runner 0.15.0 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.14.1. New Cursor as an agent. Runner can now run the Cursor Agent CLI (cursor-agent) in role chats, runtime-only chats and crew missions, with Cursor's own model list and resume of the exact conversation. Cursor is off by default: install cursor-agent, then turn Cursor on in Settings → Agents. It has been tested on macOS and is not yet verified on Windows. Contributed by @ruizer. (#723, #827) Bug fixes Codex chat names follow the session again.
Runner 0.14.1
Runner 0.14.1 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.14.0. Bug fixes Cleaner Windows titlebar. The sidebar toggle and back and forward buttons now sit alongside the window controls in the titlebar. This removes the extra navigation row and top gap above the work card, and keeps navigation buttons out of the window drag area. (#793, #858) Download and upgrade macOS, Apple Silicon: download Runner-0.14.1-arm64.dmg, or update through Sparkle. The app is signed and notarized.
Runner 0.14.0
Runner 0.14.0 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.13.3. New Liquid glass on macOS. The sidebar and the frame around the window are now translucent glass over your desktop, while chats, terminals and missions stay on an opaque surface that is easy to read. Choose Glass or Solid in Settings → Appearance → Window material. Runner follows macOS Reduce Transparency and uses Solid when it is on. Windows keeps the solid appearance. (#793) One work card.
Runner 0.13.3
Runner 0.13.3 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.13.2. Bug fixes Mission header and tabs span the view again. In 0.13.2 the mission header and the row of session tabs drew their background only behind their own controls, leaving the rest of the row in the page color. Both fill the width of the mission view again. (#848) Smaller Runner mark in the sidebar. The logo beside the Runner name at the top of the sidebar is now 20 px instead of 32 px, as in the design. (#848)
Runner 0.13.2
Runner 0.13.2 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.13.1. New One-row sidebar footer. Weekly usage and the Settings gear now share one compact row at the bottom of the sidebar, replacing the usage pill and the separate Settings row. When an update is available, its icon appears beside the Runner name at the top of the sidebar. (#839) Bug fixes Lower CPU with a busy chat. Terminal output now repaints only the views that show that terminal, not the whole window.

Runner 0.13.0
Runner 0.13.0 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.9. New Agents keep working with Runner closed. Choose Keep them running when quitting, and chats and crew missions continue in the background, including crew messaging and human requests; sessions also survive an app crash. Reopening Runner restores the terminals and reconnects to the same running sessions. (#645) Choose what happens when you quit.
Runner 0.12.9
Runner 0.12.9 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.8. Bug fixes Crew messages no longer submit your unsent pi draft. If you had typed into a pi session's input box without pressing Return, a crew message could be added to your text and submitted together with it, even when the draft was a single character. Runner now waits until pi's input box is empty, then delivers the message once without sending your text. Pressing Return still sends your prompt as before. (#799) Antigravity commands run in the session's folder.
Runner 0.12.8
Runner 0.12.8 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.7. New Start chats and missions from the keyboard. In Start a chat and Start mission, ⌘↵ (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) confirms from any control, including an open picker or the mission goal box. ⌘1 and ⌘2 (Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2) switch between Direct and Role, the form opens with its first picker focused, and the arrow keys move through pickers. (#772) Shortcuts for New terminal and New mission.
Runner 0.12.7
Runner 0.12.7 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.6. Bug fixes Cancelling a turn shows Interrupted again. Since 0.12.5, pressing Esc or Ctrl+C in Claude Code, Antigravity or Copilot stopped the agent, but Runner kept showing Working until the next turn. Runner now marks the turn Interrupted as soon as you cancel, including when you cancel a running tool in Claude Code. (#783) Copilot approvals clear after you approve and then cancel. A Copilot tool you had approved and then cancelled kept showing its approval request.

Runner 0.12.5
Runner 0.12.5 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.4. Before you upgrade This release changes the database: it removes the crew purpose and goal fields. Once 0.12.5 has opened your data, earlier Runner versions can no longer read your crews, and the removed values cannot be recovered. To keep the option of going back, quit Runner and copy runner.db, runner.db-wal and runner.db-shm from ~/Library/Application Support/com.wycstudios.runner (macOS) or %APPDATA%\com.wycstudios.runner (Windows) before upgrading. (#729)

Runner 0.12.3
Runner 0.12.3 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.2. New Run Antigravity CLI in Runner. Start direct chats and crew missions with agy, choose supported models and effort levels, and resume conversations after relaunch. Runner detects the CLI and lists its skills and MCP servers in Settings. Mission slots use Bypass permissions; direct chats follow Antigravity's own permission settings. (#644) See Antigravity models and usage.
Runner 0.12.2
Runner 0.12.2 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.1. Bug fixes Scroll Codex transcripts with the mouse wheel. Wheel input now uses the pointer's terminal position, so a pinned prompt header no longer prevents transcript scrolling. (#724) Paste copied files from File Explorer. Ctrl+V now inserts absolute file paths into an agent terminal, including multiple files, without submitting the prompt. (#742) Download and upgrade macOS, Apple Silicon: download Runner-0.12.2-arm64.dmg, or update through Sparkle.
Runner 0.12.1
Runner 0.12.1 is a feature and bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.12.0. New Choose Codex Speed in Runner. Select Inherit, Standard, or Fast in role settings, Start Chat, and crew-slot overrides. Explicit chat and slot choices survive Resume, and Fast shows a reminder about higher credit use. (#740) Configure Speed from the CLI. Use --speed inherit|standard|fast with runner role create/update, runner crew add/set, and runner chat start. Inspect the choice in human-readable and JSON output without editing raw Codex arguments.

Runner 0.9.4
Runner 0.9.4 adds a fourth agent, GitHub Copilot CLI, on macOS and Windows on top of 0.9.3. New Runner supports GitHub Copilot CLI. Chats and missions run copilot like the other three: the runner's model and effort, the three permission modes, resume after a relaunch, the folder-trust prompt answered ahead of time so a mission slot never stalls on it, Runner's MCP server registered for it, and its skills listed under Settings → Skills with a toggle that writes the same disabledSkills list copilot plugins disable --skill keeps.
Runner 0.9.3
Runner 0.9.3 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.9.2. New Chats show which agent they are talking to. Claude Code, Codex, and TRAE CLI each have their own mark in the sidebar, workspace and pane headers, the quick switcher, and Settings → Archived, so a rail of mixed work is readable without reading titles. Split tabs keep their layout icon, shells keep the terminal glyph, and a chat with nothing running dims its mark rather than changing colour. (#593) Bug fixes TRAE CLI chats start.
Runner 0.9.2
Runner 0.9.2 is a feature release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.9.1. New Conversation titles for agent chats. Agent tabs show clean titles supplied by Codex, Claude Code, and other agents, without directory suffixes or spinner symbols. Custom names take priority; chats keep their runtime default until a useful title arrives, and conversation titles survive restart and resume. (#587) Bug fixes Consistent tab labels. The header and sidebar stay in sync as conversation titles update.

Runner 0.8.9
Runner 0.8.9 is a bug-fix release for macOS and Windows on top of 0.8.8. Bug fixes Better busy/idle detection for agent sessions. Runner now recognizes the title-spinner pattern observed in Codex and Claude Code, so a completed turn can show Idle even while the terminal keeps animating. Sessions without a recognized title signal continue using byte activity. This is a heuristic improvement; hook-based detection is planned next. (#583, #584) Download and upgrade macOS, Apple Silicon: download Runner-0.8.9-arm64.dmg, or update through Sparkle.
