A session of its own
In Code mode, background tasks now belong to the session that started
them. Each session sees only its own — the tasks panel and the agent alike
— while another session's dev server keeps running in its own workspace,
and what each task ran, how it ended and what it printed stays with the
session across restarts until it is cleared. A session also belongs to its
workspace: opening one moves to its folder, and the session list can be
grouped by workspace.
Background tasks you can see into
The background pill now opens a panel of running and finished tasks —
status, running time, the full command and its output, live — where they
can be stopped one by one and cleared.
What a turn changed
A turn that edits files now ends with a card of every file it changed,
each with its net +/−, its diff one click away, and an undo for that file
or for all of them — folded to its totals when there are more than five.
A window that opens the right size
Chaty opens scaled to the screen and centred instead of at a fixed
1040×720, and on macOS closing from fullscreen now leaves fullscreen
smoothly and goes to the tray every time.
Several things reached v2.1.8 as a rebuild after it went out and are in
here for anyone who installed it on release day: the macOS menu-bar icon
is a glyph that matches the bar, and long coding sessions no longer
re-read the whole conversation — after the first turn, after forty steps
on MLX, after the agent remembers something, or at every turn past 40% of
the window.
Install
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| Windows x64 | Chaty_*_x64-setup.exe — per-user installer, no admin
|
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | Chaty_*_aarch64.dmg
|
| Linux x64 (beta) | Chaty_*_amd64.AppImage — chmod +x and run. First Linux release — please report anything odd
|
⚠️ macOS first launch — "Apple could not verify…" / "damaged"
Chaty is ad-hoc signed but not notarized (no paid Apple Developer
account), so Gatekeeper flags it on first launch. The app is safe —
everything runs locally. Clear the download quarantine once, in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Chaty.appThen open Chaty normally. (Alternatively: try to open it once, then go to
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.)
