Conductor releases a major iOS and cloud workspace update with phone chat and PR merging, a richer video player, smarter chat search, tighter workspace sync across devices, and a long list of stability and workflow fixes for agents, chats, diffs, and cloud workspaces.
Conductor for iOS
You can now chat with agents and merge PRs from your phone. Works with cloud workspaces.
Improvements
- Videos play in a new player with playback speed, frame-by-frame stepping, timeline previews, and keyboard shortcuts.
- Find in chat (⌘F) now searches agents' thinking, and jumping to a match expands the thinking or tool-call group that hides it.
- Cloud organizations show the matrix-style workspace status indicator in Home, the sidebar, and workspace tabs.
- Setting up repositories for a cloud computer walks you through signing in to GitHub and then choosing repositories, grouped by GitHub organization.
- Notifications show the chat's title instead of the branch name.
- Diff refreshes show a loading bar, and you can mark files as viewed while a diff refreshes.
- A message you send while Claude is running a long command shows as waiting until Claude reads it.
- The MCP popover in a chat shows how many tools each connected MCP server provides.
- Clicking a PR in the stack popover opens it in the PR view. Right-click it for Open in GitHub and copy options.
- The Pinned section header has a … menu. Creating a workspace from it adds the new workspace to Pinned.
- Automatic restarts for updates wait for you to confirm when a run script is running or an open chat has an unsent prompt.
- In cloud organizations, pinned workspaces stay in sync across your devices.
- In cloud organizations, your Automerge, "Treat optional checks as blocking", and PR activity order settings carry over to the iOS app.
- Organizations show their uploaded avatar in the org switcher and everywhere else the org icon appears.
- In settings, the Admin section links to your organization's API keys, billing, and settings pages on the web, and the account Billing button opens your Conductor Pro billing page.
- Copied cloud workspace and routine links use your organization's slug and workspace number instead of long IDs.
- Merging a PR stack in a cloud workspace no longer requires the GitHub stack extension on your Mac.
- Files agents save to .context in cloud workspaces sync to your Mac.
- In cloud workspaces, the Changes panel's options menu shows the current branch above the target branch.
- When Codex runs on your ChatGPT plan, the context usage popover shows which ChatGPT account the chat is using.
Fixes
- Fixed a memory leak where the app's memory use grew with every agent turn until restart.
- Fixed Claude chats getting stuck on "Waiting for task" while a dev server ran in the background, which blocked queued messages.
- Fixed follow-up messages to Cursor chats sometimes taking many minutes to start.
- Fixed long chats jumping to the top and then rapidly scrolling back to the end.
- Fixed Conductor freezing after removing a repository from its settings.
- Fixed macOS repeatedly asking for file and folder access even after Conductor was granted Full Disk Access.
- Fixed the Approve button disappearing from a pending plan after restarting Conductor.

- Fixed Mermaid quadrant charts, pie charts, Gantt charts, mind maps, and other diagram types failing to render.
- Fixed inline videos in chat showing "Video unavailable" when they point to a file in the workspace.
- Commands that block the agent no longer show up as a "Background Task" in the chat.

- Fixed a workspace showing no PR after the agent created a PR stack.
- Fixed review comment previews in the Git panel showing raw HTML from bots like Greptile.
- The "Viewed" checkbox in the diff file header stays in the same place for every file type.
- Fixed PR and browser tabs not closing unless they were the selected tab.
- Fixed the Rename chat field losing focus right after opening.
- Closing a dropdown menu returns keyboard focus to the button that opened it.
- Fixed the "Create from" button in the new workspace composer not staying highlighted while its menu is open.
- Fixed the organization prompt box becoming disabled and losing focus while you were typing.
- In local workspaces, clicking a file path outside the workspace in chat (like ~/Desktop/test.html) shows it in Finder instead of failing to load.
- Agents in local workspaces no longer try to create or control workspaces through the Conductor CLI.
- Fixed the Dashboard appearing empty in cloud organizations.
- Fixed cloud workspaces showing your local folder name for their repository instead of the repository's name.
- Fixed a cloud workspace sometimes showing only some of its chats until Conductor restarted.
- Fixed a cloud chat you closed and reopened on desktop staying hidden in the iOS app.
- Local terminals in cloud workspaces wait for a sleeping workspace to wake instead of showing a sync error.
- Fixed detected ports in cloud workspaces showing some processes, like Storybook, as ".. dev".
- "Copy link" explains why it can't copy a link for a cloud workspace that failed to start, instead of doing nothing.

0.89.0
Conductor adds Sign in with ChatGPT support for bringing a ChatGPT plan into Conductor, alongside a redesigned PR view, smarter workspace and branch handling, faster cloud sync, and broad fixes for Codex, chats, diffs, and workspace stability.
We're excited to be partnering with OpenAI on Sign in with ChatGPT.
You can now bring your ChatGPT plan to Conductor in a few clicks. Go to
Settings → Agents → Codex
and click
Continue with ChatGPT
to start using your Codex plan in Conductor.
Other big improvements
- The PR view has a new layout. One card at the top shows the branch, review, checks, and merge status, with the description and activity below it.
- New workspaces get descriptive branch names based on what you're working on. To turn this off, go to Settings → Git → Automatically rename new branches.
- You can now steer Cursor chats while they run.
- Desktop tabs are available in every cloud workspace, with no experimental setting needed.
- Cloud workspaces show their number (like W-123) in the top bar, workspace links, the All Workspaces list, and the command palette.
Improvements
In the PR view, open the Review row to add unresolved comments to chat, or the Checks row to re-run or fix failed checks.
Steer Cursor chats while they're running, in local and cloud workspaces.
Merging a PR from Conductor now only merges the code that's in your workspace. If the PR on GitHub has changed, the merge is blocked and you get a link to merge on GitHub instead.
PR comments edited on GitHub show "edited" with the edit time. If you'd already sent them to the agent or hidden them, they reappear as new.
In the PR view, checks and deployments waiting on an approval show a clock instead of looking pending.
Deep links can include a
branch
parameter to start a new workspace from an existing branch.
In cloud workspaces, detected ports show which process is listening, like
postgres
or
next dev
.
Hover over a cloud workspace in the sidebar to see its repository.
Right-click the Pinned section in the sidebar to create a new pinned workspace.
Hover over file names in the Git panel to see their full paths.
Repository selectors are sorted alphabetically, and become searchable when you have five or more repositories.
The + menu in the composer highlights Add attachment and puts it closest to the button.
In cloud organizations, loadout changes sync across your devices.
In cloud organizations, the Recommended MCPs tab also lists MCPs you've already added, marked Installed.
When you add a custom MCP server with OAuth, you can copy Conductor's OAuth callback URL to register it with the provider.
The toast for an MCP server that needs re-authentication shows the server's logo and name.
Right-click a settings tab to copy a web link that opens Conductor to that page.
Codex chats routed through Vercel AI Gateway use its dedicated Codex endpoint.
Cloud workspaces load and sync faster, file sync picks up workspace changes immediately, and images use less memory.
Animated workspace status marks in the sidebar use less CPU.
Fixes
Fixed high memory use that grew as you opened more chats.
Fixed slow startup and high memory use in organizations with many archived cloud workspaces.
Fixed the app freezing for several seconds when switching to a cloud workspace with many chats.
Fixed run scripts with lots of output, like a Rails server, hanging while the Conductor window was in the background.
Fixed the Open button in the Run pane disappearing after a lot of server output or after switching workspaces.
Fixed Codex tasks stopping on temporary rate-limit and model capacity errors after work had started.
Fixed Codex chats failing to start with a "failed to load configuration" error when your ChatGPT workspace restricts Codex's sandbox.
Codex inline visualizations render in the chat instead of showing raw directive text.
Codex model pickers no longer list audio, embedding, and legacy completion models when you use an API key, and the placeholder "Test Model" entries are gone from all model pickers.
Fixed sent queued messages appearing earlier in the chat, and messages briefly returning to the queue during attachment uploads or while background agents run.
Fixed the Reset chat dialog reappearing after you sent the next message.
Fixed a stacked PR's diff still including changes from the PR below it after that PR merged.
Fixed slow switching between stacked PRs and occasional stale diffs.
Fixed opening a workspace's merged PR showing a blank title, description, and activity.
Fixed deleted lines in the diff view not being selectable or copyable.
Fixed files marked as Viewed in the diff viewer resetting after restarting Conductor.
Fixed regenerated images, PDFs, and videos sometimes showing an older version.
Fixed a crash that kept a workspace from opening again after you opened a file from a chat.
Fixed clicking a
conductor://
prompt, Linear, or async deep link in a chat message doing nothing.
Fixed copying a link or transcript from another chat tab's menu switching to that tab.
Fixed new local workspaces showing a random string as their name.
Fixed ⌘⇧N not focusing search when opening a new workspace.
Fixed a project filter chosen in a local organization hiding every workspace in a cloud organization's sidebar.
Fixed an empty gap building up in the status-grouped sidebar while archiving several workspaces.
Fixed the left sidebar button shifting when the sidebar is collapsed.
Fixed the settings sidebar scrollbar overlapping the selected item.
Fixed switching between agents in Settings → Agents briefly showing the previous agent's settings.
Fixed closing a zoomed image temporarily blocking clicks and scrolling.
Fixed inline command terminals so they sit flush with the composer and show one close button.
Removed the duplicate expand button from chat videos.
Improved how the composer works with assistive tools.
Fixed cloud workspace files and changes becoming unavailable after the sandbox sleeps.

0.87.0
Conductor adds cross-file search, smarter routines and richer file previews, while bundling OpenCode 2.0 for local workspaces. It also brings Weekdays scheduling, faster cloud chats, and security fixes for local workflows and browser previews.
Search across files, OpenCode 2.0
You can now search across files! Press ⌘⇧F in any local or cloud workspace to search file contents, with case, whole-word, and regex toggles.
Routines can filter GitHub triggers by label, author, and base branch, so a routine only runs on the pull requests you care about. Use "is not" to exclude matches, and add several triggers to one routine.
Other big improvements
- CSV files open as tables, and JSON and JSON Lines files get collapsible previews.
- OpenCode 2 is now bundled for local workspaces. Existing OpenCode chats migrate with their history.
- Routines have a Weekdays schedule.
Improvements
- CSV files open as scrollable tables in local and cloud workspaces, with an Edit toggle. Open a CSV in your default spreadsheet app, or download it from a cloud workspace.
- JSON, JSONL, and NDJSON files have a collapsible, syntax-highlighted Preview with clickable URLs.
- Updated the bundled OpenCode to 2.0.5 for local workspaces. Existing chats keep their history; chats on a custom OpenCode executable keep using it. You may need to sign in to OpenCode again.
- OpenCode favorites show their effort beside the model name in the model picker.
- Filter GitHub triggers in routines by label, author, or base branch, with is and is not operators. Each trigger can have several filters.
- Routines have a Weekdays preset alongside Hourly, Daily, and Weekly. It runs Monday through Friday at a time you choose.
- Videos embedded in chat show a first-frame thumbnail with a play button that opens the media viewer.
- Agents in local and cloud workspaces now embed screenshots directly in their chat replies.
- In the Changes tab of the git panel, filter the file list by path.
- GitHub review comments with suggested changes now render as a diff showing the replaced code, not just the suggestion.
- Create and delete sidebar sections from the CLI, API, and MCP in cloud organizations.
- Cloud repository scripts settings are split into Personal and Shared tabs. Each run script can be marked as runnable in the cloud workspace or the local mirror.
- With Workspace status matrix enabled in Settings → Experimental, the indicators show distinct states for routine runs, attention, errors, running pull request checks, and merged pull requests.
- macOS permission prompts identify the local Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode process requesting access.
- Loadout cards reorder live as you drag and stay put while the change saves.
- Added a Quack completion sound. The fun sounds are grouped under Novelty.
- Chats in cloud workspaces load faster.
Fixes
- Fixed security issues: shell command injection through crafted Git branch names, clone URLs, and file names in local workflows, and remote browser previews accepting untrusted certificates. Setup scripts from shared cloud workspaces no longer run automatically on collaborators' Macs.
- Fixed Claude chats showing as idle while they kept working after a background subagent finished.
- Fixed the MCPs popover hanging on "Loading MCP servers…" in OpenCode chats, and OpenCode's own MCP servers missing from the list.
- Fixed a brief "Error loading messages" flash when reopening sleeping or archived cloud workspaces.
- Fixed a rare delay before a new cloud workspace showed as ready.
- Fixed cloud chats created through the API or MCP unexpectedly turning on fast mode, and new Cursor chats defaulting to fast mode for Grok and Auto.
- Fixed browser previews opening an unused port instead of the running development server.
- Fixed Git, pull request, and stack status not refreshing when an agent finishes.
- Fixed clicking a line number in a diff not opening a comment for that line.
- Fixed syntax highlighting missing in diffs of renamed files and occasionally in large diffs, and text selection and editing in diffs on older WebKit.
- Fixed uploaded image previews getting stuck loading in the composer.
- Fixed the image preview staying open after following a link to another workspace or page.
- Fixed a flashing scrollbar when hovering a changed-file chip to preview its diff.
- Fixed notification content overflowing a collapsed toast stack.
- Fixed clipped process names in the sidebar resource usage inspector.
Misc
- Updated the bundled Claude Code to 2.1.274.

0.86.0
Conductor adds loadout sharing, cloud run scripts, emoji sidebar sections, personal prompts, and richer cloud workspace controls. It also improves search, PR handling, ports, file sync, and performance while fixing chat, diff, sidebar, and workspace reliability issues.
Share your loadouts
Go to Settings -> Default Models to share your loadout. Other Conductor users can import your loadout in one click.
Other big improvements:
- Add run scripts in the cloud. (Users who previously set these up for local repos can import them in one click.)
- Better support for OpenCode
- Sidebar sections can now use emojis. You can also ask agents to move workspaces between sections.
Improvements
- Cloud repositories have shared run scripts with personal overrides. Edit them in repository settings, or import them from your local settings or the repository's settings.toml.
- Sidebar sections can have an emoji. Pick a section when creating a workspace, move workspaces with Move to section in the command palette, or ask an agent in a cloud workspace to move it to a section. Sections stay available in local organizations, and pinning workspaces from a section works again.
- The cloud workspace ports popover has a new design: the preview URL picker sits on top, forwarding and auto-forwarding are switches, and forwarded and detected ports are listed together with an add button.
- Settings → Ports lets you choose a forwarding strategy, set the local port range, and forward specific remote ports to fixed local ports. Starting port forwarding with ⌘Y shows clickable localhost badges once ports are ready.
- Personal prompts for cloud organizations. Set your own prompts in Settings → Prompts, and Conductor combines them with your team's prompts.
- Open pull requests in Graphite. Choose it under Open pull requests in Settings → Git or from the PR context menu.
- Answer Codex questions while it keeps working, with choices and keyboard shortcuts.
- Removed Codex goals and message queuing. Messages sent while an agent is working now steer it instead of waiting in a queue.
- Filter Home and workspace search to Only archived.
- Local ⌘K has a Projects tab for finding projects by name, including projects without workspaces.
- Composio and Cloudflare are now recommended MCP servers.
- Copy uploaded attachments between cloud workspaces.
- Inline chat videos have scrubbing controls.
- File pills for skills show the skill's name and icon instead of SKILL.md.
- Workspace link badges for cloud workspaces show the organization icon, mark private workspaces with a lock, and say when a link points to another organization or one you can't access. Private workspaces also show a lock in hover cards.
- The context usage popover shows Claude account limits and reset times, matching Codex.
- Restart file sync directly from terminal error messages.
- Cloud workspaces start file sync when you use a local run script or terminal.
- Prompt links fill the new-workspace composer in your active organization.
- Window controls use native macOS styling and stay aligned at every zoom level.
- Faster editing of large files, faster text-file opening and transcript loading in cloud workspaces, and fewer network requests when opening cloud workspaces.
Fixes
- Fixed queued messages running in the wrong order after reordering, and queued message controls completing out of order.
- Fixed OpenCode and Pi chats dropping tool results and partial replies, rejecting Always allow approvals, and leaving approval prompts stuck after stopping a turn. Fixed OpenCode options getting stuck loading before the first message.
- Fixed plans written by Cursor showing up as an empty tool call instead of the plan text.
- Fixed cloud plan approvals appearing successful when the workspace rejected the response.
- Fixed stale or empty diffs when switching between GitHub stacked pull requests, or after the target branch moved. Fixed the target branch picker in the Changes options menu and changed-file diffs loading slowly when first opened.
- Fixed diff comments not loading when Conductor starts, and review comments appearing unsent after submitting a message.
- Fixed image attachments failing to send after removing them and using Undo, sent messages with attachments remaining in the composer.
- Fixed cloud workspaces showing a blank screen after all chats were closed, and Conductor going blank after a failed connection check.
- Fixed cloud workspaces failing to create when local Git errors occurred.
- Fixed sidebar sections disappearing when the connection drops, staying stale after workspace moves made through the CLI or API, and Move to section being hidden in cloud organizations.
- Fixed Escape dismissal, misplaced or unclickable context menus in dialogs, menus shifting while opening, and dropdown menus making the window scroll.
- Fixed Shift+Enter not inserting a new line when ⌘Enter is set to send, Shift+Tab unexpectedly toggling plan mode, and Space reopening the loadout picker after closing it.
- Fixed the Agent and Model flyouts in the model picker closing when the pointer passed over another row.
- Fixed workspaces becoming unclickable after closing image or video previews, and Open Link from a link's context menu replacing the Conductor window with the web page.
- Fixed missing images in rich Markdown previews, file links scrolling the highlighted line out of view, and HTML previews hidden behind the composer. Expanded Mermaid diagrams now fit the preview window.
- Fixed custom answers disappearing when their text matches a suggested option.
- Fixed ⌘P returning to the previous workspace tab after opening a file.
- Fixed settings pages preserving the previous page's scroll position, and settings files opened in a terminal not starting in their .conductor directory.
- Fixed sidebar resource usage overstating memory for Conductor's processes.
- Fixed unsupported slash-command errors showing the wrong agent name, and failed chat cancellations going unreported.
- Fixed an incorrect PR loading error while a cloud workspace wakes.
- Fixed cloud workspace syncs taking too long when .context contains ignored build artifacts.
- Fixed misleading Git upstream warnings when creating workspaces from submodule repositories with push.autoSetupRemote enabled.
- Conductor now prompts you to rebuild your cloud computer when a repository's GitHub default branch changes. Routines use the cloud repository's configured default branch.
- Custom repository icons set on your Mac show on cloud workspaces in the sidebar again.
Misc
- Updated the bundled Claude Code to 2.1.272, Codex to 0.154.0, and OpenCode to 1.18.31.
New in 0.86.1

0.85.0
Conductor adds sidebar sections, a new model picker, scheduled routines, and private workspaces, while expanding cloud workspace tools, keyboard shortcuts, file and chat improvements, and a long list of stability and security fixes.
Sections
We’ve added a new way to organize your sidebar: sections! Right click a section header to edit or create a new one.
A new model picker
Introducing our new model picker! Pick a loadout of your favorite models to quickly switch between. It’s keyboard accessible too: change models (⌃⌘ 1-5), effort (⌘⇧/), speed (⌘⇧E) or model ordering (Tab, then space) without leaving your keyboard.
Routines
Introducing routines! You can now run your agents on a schedule or via GitHub action. We use routines to write internal reports, help with daily stand-up, and find papercuts in our system prompts. Routines run in the cloud (which means they’re only available to pro/team users).
Private workspaces
You can now create private workspaces that aren’t shared with the rest of your team.
Improvements
- Search file contents in your current local project or cloud workspace with ⌘⇧F. Enable Search file contents in Settings → Experimental.
- Try matrix-style workspace status indicators in Home and the sidebar. Enable Workspace status matrix in Settings → Experimental.
- Configure cloud agent connections separately for each organization, and choose whether Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor use an API key or subscription.
- Sign in to your Cursor subscription for cloud workspaces.
- Your favorite models now sync across devices in cloud organizations.
- In non-personal cloud organizations, MCP settings recommends servers your teammates have connected and shows who uses them.
- Consecutive MCP calls now group under the server's name and logo. Failed calls show their errors directly on the tool row.
- You can now edit attachments in queued messages.
- Copy, save, download, or open images from chat previews, including expanded previews. Click Downloads in the saved-file notification to reveal the file in Finder.
- Plans, screenshots, and attachments in
.context
now sync from cloud workspaces to your Mac. - Enable Exclusive port forwarding in Settings → Ports to turn forwarding off in other workspaces whenever you turn it on in one.
- PR comments and failing-check logs now load while a cloud workspace is asleep.
- Search keyboard shortcuts by pressing a shortcut.
- Toggle Fast with ⌘⇧E while the model picker is open or closed.
- File tabs now have consistent viewing and editing controls, with a Preview button for supported files. Opening a file automatically reveals it in the file tree.
- Terminals now include Nerd Font symbols and display emoji with corrected spacing.
- With Show workspace numbers enabled in Settings → Experimental, search cloud workspaces by number and right-click their numbers to copy a link or ID.
Fixes
- Reduced freezes and stalls when streaming long chats, opening diffs, restoring terminal history, or attaching large files in cloud chats.
- Fixed missing agent replies in local chats and first-message failures or delays in newly created cloud workspaces.
- Fixed workspaces disappearing from the sidebar or failing to create.
- Fixed cloud file sync with restored workspaces and unnecessary sync restarts during initialization.
- Fixed cloud file sync writing or deleting files outside the workspace folder, and a security issue where crafted Markdown could run code inside the app.
- Fixed inline comment drafts being discarded, comment anchors moving incorrectly after edits, and Command-F failing in diffs or while editing comments.
- Fixed pasting images without filenames and copying or saving inline cloud images. Cached image attachments now open while their workspace is asleep.
- Fixed Codex history reset errors and missing models in cloud workspaces. Daybreak Blue now appears for accounts that have access to it.
- Expired ChatGPT and Cursor subscriptions now show reconnect actions, and spend-cap errors name the responsible provider.
- Fixed Graphite stack ordering, cloud repository casing that broke Graphite matching, and stacked GitHub PR diffs showing merged changes after squash merges.
- Restored Command-plus zoom, Control-Tab navigation, and alternative navigation shortcuts. Fixed arrow-key navigation through changed files.
- Fixed command-palette search crashes and Create workspace disappearing when searching its full name.
- Fixed local workspace links, workspace links opening in a browser instead of Conductor, and adjacent text corrupting links in the composer.
- Fixed wide Markdown tables becoming unreadable.
- Fixed PR status warnings flickering during refresh failures.
- Fixed cloud workspaces using local archive-on-merge and prompt settings, or locally configured agent installations.
Misc
- Updated the bundled Claude Code to 2.1.263, Codex to 0.153.4, OpenCode to 1.18.29, and Cursor Agent SDK to 1.0.31.

Conductor adds direct file editing in diffs, remote desktop control for cloud workspaces, and smoother chat and workspace tools, including mid-chat effort changes, searchable MCP settings, better PR and port workflows, and a range of fixes and bundled updates.
Changed files now open and edit directly in diffs by default. To return to the previous file preview and editor, turn on "Use legacy file preview and editing" in Settings 1 Experimental.
Cloud workspaces now come with remote desktop control so you can use your computer alongside your agents. Enable in Settings 1 Experimental.
