v1.5.97–118NewMay 25–26, 2026Mobile bridge over Iroh, web-mode panels & package size cut
- Mobile bridge upgraded to zero-config P2P transport via Iroh — your phone talks to your desktop without a server in the middle.
- Iroh sidecar bundled with releases; transient license check failures no longer block install.
- Web mode: real terminal, browser, and VS Code panels — no more stubs in browser-only sessions.
- Workspace files now open in the existing splitview instead of spawning a new split.
- Codex sandbox is now the default for new projects.
- Renderer dependencies moved out of the production bundle — meaningfully smaller download.

v1.5.96NewMay 19, 2026Self-host mode, mobile companion & chat history
- Self-host mode: AIDEN can now run as a local server — pair any browser on your network to it. Great for accessing your workspace from another machine without a cloud subscription.
- Linux support: one-line installer available; Docker image published for server deployments.
- Chat sidebar rebuilt from scratch: collapsible session rail, full conversation history with search, filter by agent, and hover-to-expand panels.
- Mobile companion (iOS): monitor your board, read story specs, browse git changes, and follow agent progress from your phone while your Mac runs agents.
- Push notifications on mobile: get notified when an agent finishes a story or needs your input.
- File uploads in chat: drag files directly into any agent conversation.

v1.5.88–95FixMay 11–18, 2026Chat reliability, file attachments & navigation fixes
- Fixed: cancelling an agent mid-run now reliably stops execution immediately.
- Fixed file attachments — drag-and-drop and the file picker now work correctly in all chat panels.
- Switching between projects now correctly resets the active agent context.
- Performance improvements to panel and terminal rendering.
- Story Work back button now always returns to the board instead of an intermediate screen.
5
v1.5.82–87ImprovementMay 8–12, 2026Sidebar UX polish & reliability improvements
- Sidebar now starts collapsed by default — more space for your workspace.
- Agent flyout opens a dedicated detail page with a chat shortcut.
- Improved reliability when AIDEN is used offline — fewer false error states.

v1.5.41–81NewApril 25 – May 7, 2026New AI models, VibeCode panels, batch story tools & multi-project import
- New models: Claude Sonnet 4.7, Claude Opus 4.7, and GPT-5.5 are now available in provider settings.
- VibeCode panels: embed any custom HTML widget directly inside your AIDEN workspace — live dashboards, custom UIs, internal tools, or prototypes.
- Import Multiple Projects at once: onboard your entire stack in a single flow instead of one project at a time.
- Stop any Codex agent mid-run — cancellation support added for OpenAI Codex CLI.
- Widgets now live-reload when you edit their templates — no restart needed.
- New terminal and VS Code panels open in the current project directory by default.

v1.5.21–40NewApril 21–24, 2026Spec approval gate, versioning panel redesign & VS Code integration
- Spec gate enforced: agents must present a technical spec and get your approval before writing any code. No more agents going off in the wrong direction.
- Versioning panel redesigned: cleaner diff view, status indicators, scoped commit modals — closer to the VS Code SCM layout most engineers already know.
- Code tab added to the project view for quick file browsing without opening a full editor.
- Fixed agent streaming — no more duplicate output blocks appearing during long multi-step runs.
8
v1.5.9–20NewApril 14–20, 2026VS Code inside AIDEN, core assistant & auto-updater
- VS Code now opens inside an AIDEN panel — no more switching windows to your editor.
- AIDEN core assistant: a persistent AI that knows your project board, open stories, and agent status. Ask it anything about your workspace.
- AIDEN updates itself automatically in the background. You'll be prompted when a new version is ready — one click to install.
- Settings redesigned with a proper section-based sidebar — Providers, GitHub, API Keys, and more are each in their own page.
