Over the last few days I shipped 2 major features for http://thecommander.app that would shock the pants off 99% of Electron apps out there:
1. Multiple windows – I just love it. I can keep all sessions in tabs or separate windows and lay out my work on the desktop however I want. #macos #macdev #agentic
2. UI session restoration – this feels so natural. I can close the app and relaunch it at the exact moment where I left off.
Here we go. Next feature: you can now set a custom icon which will be shown even after you had a different dock connected. Could be a SF Symbol or a custom image :)

xcede now uses your choice of yaml, toml or json for config files. Plus, profiles! No more mutant bash thing (well, the old config file is still supported for now).
There are other handy changes too, and don't forget the new fast build option.
Want to use on-device #AppleIntelligence models in #TypeScript but already have OpenAI/Ollama? The new Chat interface in TSFM v0.3.1 lets you keep your code (responses or completions). Just swap imports. 🔁

Also out this week is Atlas 1.1.0 with theme customization and the theme editor for markdown documents! We are talking many weeks in planning and construction so that it's easy to use on both macOS and iOS.
Big, too: You can also resize images in the editor now, which is something I've wanted to add for so long.
There are a whole host of other additions and minor tweaks as well—it's really coming along 🥹

Yay! Fox Issue & Project Tracker 3.1.0 with initial MCP support for macOS is finally out! I've been using it as a client to work alongside Claude and it's been a nice improvement in my workflows. I am hoping to increase functionality in the next release to boost versions & milestones, too!
Otherwise, both platforms get a healthy dose of UI tweaks and bug fixes.

What I started with just wanting to improve the shell output parser turned into a rewrite of literally everything in Cork. Some of this code is from 2022, when I started Cork
