Fixes

  • Fixed memory growth in long-running sessions caused by unused progress tracking messages piling up.

4.0.0 (10.06.2026)

Chipmunk 4.0.0 is the first stable release of the new native version of Chipmunk.

This release replaces the previous Electron-based app with a much lighter and faster native application, reducing the runtime footprint by more than 4x.

Highlights

  • Memory usage reduced from around 500 MB to less than 100 MB.
  • CPU usage for the same workload reduced from around 16% to around 4%.
  • Startup is now almost instant compared to about one second before.
  • Chipmunk is now shipped as a single native application binary.
  • No more Electron sandboxing or runtime issues.
  • The app is much more responsive, with several long-standing UI issues fixed.
  • Added a command palette for faster keyboard-driven workflows.
  • Improved chart visuals.
  • Added installers for all supported operating systems.

This rewrite also gives us a stronger base for future development, helping us deliver requested features and bug fixes faster in upcoming releases.
