What's New in v0.28.16

An Inbox release: it now works on a phone, it can ring when an agent asks you something, a reply with no answers no longer leaves the thread at the top, and you can step through a thread's files without going back to it.

The Inbox on a phone

Opened from a phone (for example over your tailnet with plannotator inbox --tailscale), the Inbox used to show the desktop layout squeezed into a narrow screen: a thread was a sliver that scrolled sideways, and the time sat on top of the agent's mark. It now works like a mail app. The list has two-line rows, a thread covers the list with a Back button that matches the system's swipe back, files open on their own screen with comments in a bottom sheet, and the reply box sits above the keyboard. Tap targets are 44px, inputs no longer zoom the page on iOS, and nothing scrolls sideways, including long links and IDs in a message. The desktop layout is unchanged.

A doorbell when an agent asks you something

Chrome on a Mac shows web notifications silently, so a question could arrive unnoticed. The Inbox now plays a soft two-tone doorbell when an agent asks a question while the Inbox tab is in the background. It rings once for a burst of questions, never for plain messages, and only one tab rings if several are open. Settings has a switch, a volume slider and a Play button. After this update you'll see a short one-time dialog to keep it on or turn it off, along with where your notifications stand.

Mark read, and replies that don't leave the thread at the top

A reply with words but no answers used to leave the thread in "Waiting on you". Now a Send skips the questions you didn't answer (a "Keep open" option keeps them), the agent is told which ones were skipped, and the thread moves on. Mark read (next to Archive, or E) moves a thread to Quiet without replying, closes its open questions and tells the agent not to wait on them, with Undo. It comes back when the agent writes again. Resolve is now called Archive. "Sent" moved below "New since you looked", and your own reply no longer reorders the list while you're still in the thread. Agents are also told to withdraw their own questions once a later message makes them moot.

Step through a thread's files

When a thread carries several files, a bar under the viewer reads ‹ 3 of 5 · file ⌄ ›. The arrows (or ] and [) move through every file in the thread, the middle opens a list of them grouped by message, and full screen stays full screen. Plannotator asks before you lose a comment you've typed.

• #1855

Replying when the agent's session has ended

A reply goes to the session that asked. When that session has ended, the thread now says so, and Send lets you choose a live session in the project to take the reply, or leave it for the next agent. This shows only for sessions the Inbox knows can be woken.

• #1853

Additional changes

• Wider list beside a thread. The list next to an open thread has the same drag handle as the sidebar. #1854
• An Inbox whose data folder disappears now exits. Before, it kept running (and a leaked test Inbox spun one CPU core at 100%); now it stops within about 10 seconds, and the Inbox tests always stop what they start. #1861
• Graphviz attachments render in the Inbox. The window's security policy now allows WebAssembly (not eval), which the Graphviz engine needs. #1859

Install / Update

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://plannotator.ai/install.sh | bash

Claude Code Plugin: The plugin and the plannotator binary update separately, so run the install script above as well. In a terminal:

Then restart Claude Code. Inside Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace update plannotator, then open /plugin → Installed → plannotator → Update now.

Pi:
