Roadmap

Newest at the top, oldest at the bottom. Major and minor releases sit on the trunk; patch releases branch off. Future versions are bold guesses against the Platform Rollout phasing — themes are committed, dates and order will shift.

horizon post-v1
Direction without commitment
  • OAuth / Sign in with Apple for the hosted relay · Relay wiki — bearer-token model is forward-compatible.
  • End-to-end encryption · Relay wiki — relay becomes a relay of opaque blobs; mutually exclusive with server-generated APNs payloads.
v1.0 ~Q4 2026 later
1.0 launch — second-desktop + hosted relay
  • Linux desktop tray · reincarnates #179 — macOS quality bar met; revisit embedded-daemon vs relay.
  • Windows 11 desktop · reincarnates #180 — tray app + WebView2 popover.
  • Hosted relay beta at relay.irrlicht.app · Relay wiki — same binary, public URL, auth-on-by-default.
Concept: three tray-app thumbnails for Linux (GNOME), Windows 11 (notification area), and the hosted relay at relay.irrlicht.app
v0.9 ~Oct 2026 later
Android + Apple watch family
  • Android client · Platform Rollout Phase 5 — Kotlin / Compose, FCM via the relay's push_provider.
  • watchOS companion · Platform Rollout §6 — glanceable working/waiting/ready counts; trivial once IrrlichtCore exists.
  • StandBy / Live Activities tile on iOS · Platform Rollout §6 — aggregated status on the lock screen.
  • macOS WidgetKit · reincarnates #254 — overlay design now settled; widget reads the shared snapshot.
Concept: Apple Watch showing working/waiting/ready counts, an Android phone with the same session list, and a StandBy iOS tile with aggregate counts
v0.8 ~Aug-Sep 2026 later
iOS family
  • iOS companion app via the relay · reincarnates #112 — SwiftUI app, APNs via the relay's push_provider.
  • iPadOS adaptive layout · Platform Rollout Phase 4 — master/detail on iPad, same target as iOS.
  • IrrlichtCore Swift package · Platform Rollout Phase 3 — shared models / SessionStream / reconnect / notification logic extracted from platforms/macos/.
Concept: iPhone and iPad showing the Irrlicht session list — adaptive layout from a shared IrrlichtCore Swift package
v0.7 ~mid-Jul 2026 later
Relay v0 completes + productivity metrics
  • Relay v0 completes — macOS multi-source UI · Relay wiki — bearer-token auth, SessionStream refactor, Settings → Relay Servers pane (wiki phases 4–6). The user-visible payoff of v0.5's foundation: aggregate laptop + remote-box + VM sessions into one list with source badges. Unblocks iOS in v0.8. Phase 7 LAN-direct mode for Tailscale users ships alongside.
  • Yield ratio per project · #373 — productive vs reverted spend.
  • Cache-creation regression detection · #374 — attribute prompt-cache regressions to upstream agent versions.
Concept: a yield-ratio donut chart (73% kept, 27% reverted) next to a cache-hit-rate line chart with a marked regression at version v2.1.130
v0.6 ~mid-Jun 2026 next
Developer ID + cross-IDE reach + history
  • Developer ID notarization · #233 — unblocks Homebrew cask and APNs prereq for iOS.
  • VS Code panel hosting the dashboard · #350 — thin extension webview; Cursor / Windsurf inherit it for free.
  • History tab · #369 — cost/token analytics with project/branch/provider/model attribution.
  • Cost-anomaly indicator · #372 — flag sessions running materially above the project's peer average.
  • Automated adapter onboarding pipeline · #268 — new adapters land with fixtures and scenario matrix populated end-to-end.
Concept: a Visual Studio Code window with an Irrlicht panel docked on the left, hosting the dashboard webview inline with the editor
v0.5 ~end May 2026 in flight
macOS hardening + relay v0 + Kiro.dev
  • Relay server v0 — first version · #188 · Relay wiki — wire protocol + daemon forwarder + standalone relay binary (wiki phases 0–3). One-binary hub-mode replaces the half-built IRRLICHT_BIND_ADDR + IRRLICHT_MDNS network-exposure pair with a single explicit knob. Foundation that iOS, watchOS, and the hosted relay all depend on.
  • Kiro.dev adapter · #280 — sixth coding-agent backend alongside Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Aider, and OpenCode.
  • Sparkle auto-update for the macOS app + daemon · #129 — app updates itself in place.
  • Claude Code Agent View as an orchestrator · #312 — new orchestrator alongside Gas Town and the inline-subagent path.
  • Focus state restoration groundwork · #357 — DND-aware notifications return once Developer ID lands.
  • OpenCode adapter maturity — tail latency and task surfacing reach parity with the other adapters.
Concept: three machines (laptop, desk, VM) each running irrlichd, all pushing to one hub-mode irrlichd; the macOS app sees the aggregated session list
2026-05-30 · today
v0.4.8 2026-05-30
  • Remote session relay — irrlichtrelay · #547 — a standalone binary that aggregates every machine’s sessions into one macOS app + web view, secured with TLS/wss, bearer-token auth, an origin allowlist, and per-IP / per-connection caps.
    Three irrlichd daemons pushing over authenticated wss to a standalone irrlichtrelay, which fans out to the macOS app and web dashboard
  • Linux daemon · #482 irrlichd builds and runs on Linux (amd64 + arm64) behind a portable ProcessObserver seam; same curl … | sh install.

Per-provider windowed usage spend + subscription empty-state #441; OpenCode inherits OpenAI rate limits via JWT account_id #424; backgrounded Bash processes hold a session working #450, #452; claudecode permission prompts surface as waiting #490; codex turn_aborted settles interrupted turns #464; 22 new frontend pricing aliases synced from codeburn; editable relay URL + token in macOS Settings #550; web dashboard split into three files #418; onboarding-factory rewrite — of CLI as sole replaydata/ writer, shard migration, 4-verb skill #514.

v0.4.7 2026-05-22
  • Sparkle 2.x auto-update integration · #413 — in-app update prompts with a signed EdDSA appcast at irrlicht.io/appcast.xml. First Sparkle-enabled release; v0.4.6 users need one manual upgrade before auto-updates begin.
  • Developer-ID signed + Apple-notarized DMG · #409 — first launch through curl installer or Homebrew cask no longer trips Gatekeeper; quarantine-strip workarounds removed.
  • OpenCode todowrite as task-progress dots · #410 — dashboard parity with Claude Code’s TaskCreate/TaskUpdate pipeline.

OpenCode working→ready tail latency drops ~2.5 s #412; Claude Code wrapped command preserves user statusLine output #404; curl installer survives GitHub API rate limits #401; get-task-allow removed from production entitlements before notarization #407, #415; /ir:onboard-agent pipeline lands with first-class opencode driver #328, #408; Focus entitlement + DevID codesigning restored #406; coverage-viewer and find-flicker-sessions retired #411, #414; kitty docs clarify full-restart requirement #402.

v0.4.6 2026-05-17
  • Public roadmap page · #395 — chronological newest-at-top timeline at /docs/roadmap.html with concept tiles for every future release and ALSO SHIPPED roll-call for every past release.
    Roadmap page top — Horizon and v1.0 entries on a dashed future spine

Brand: gradient flame refresh propagates to remaining surfaces (docs sidebar dot, design-system tiles) #394; working-state icon switches to a breathing solid dot #393; web subagent dot-matrix row dropped to match macOS overlay #397; Claude Code task list prunes entries absent from task_reminder snapshots #396.

v0.4.5 2026-05-16

    Quota progress bars in the menu-bar overlay header
  • New gradient flame brand system · #388 — single-path silhouette across app, icon, navbar, design system.
    Side-by-side: old wisp flame on the left, new single-path gradient flame on the right
  • Unified per-row state icons across web and macOS · #382 — heartbeat halo / pause bars / checkmark, same vocabulary in both surfaces.
    The three Irrlicht state icons: working = breathing dot, waiting = pause bars, ready = checkmark
v0.4.4 2026-05-16
  • Web dashboard reaches overlay parity, beta · #354 http://127.0.0.1:7837 mirrors the macOS overlay row anatomy, header controls, and settings.
    The macOS overlay reference design that v0.4.4 web dashboard now mirrors

Codex sessions price at real-dollar instead of $0 (split-event token_count attributed to session model) #361; adapters honor agent-CLI env vars for relocated session dirs (#349).

v0.4.3 2026-05-15
  • macOS app autostarts at login · #343 SMAppService.mainApp registers the app on first launch; the menu-bar overlay is up before you open your first terminal.

Click-to-focus follows VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf across macOS Spaces and fullscreen windows #344; daemon no longer kills a neighboring session when two Claude Code instances open in one VS Code window #345.

v0.4.2 2026-05-15
  • macOS overlay aligned with the official design system · #229 — typography, spacing, and color tokens unified with the brand system; foundation the v0.4.5 brand refresh built on.

Drop legacy file-polling path and retire the vaporware IRRLICHT_DISABLED env var; document the four env vars that actually exist (#337).

v0.4.1 2026-05-14

kitty click-to-focus lands on the right window and tab #326.

v0.4.0 2026-05-14 shipped
Architecture refactor + per-event notifications
  • Agent-declaration architecture refactor · #159 Phase A — adding a new agent is now a Go-only one-line registration; sealed-sum source type unifies the watcher wiring.
  • Per-event notification sound picker · #253 — separate toggle, sound, and preview per ready / waiting / context-pressure event; custom audio import + speak-aloud voice.
v0.3.13 2026-05-11

OpenCode ghost-session cleanup after upgrade; Homebrew tap kept current on every release #299.

v0.3.12 2026-05-09
  • OpenCode adapter · #255 — first SQLite-backed monitoring path; sets the pattern for non-JSONL agents.

ir:triage skill for diagnostic GitHub-issue triage #283.

v0.3.11 2026-05-02

Serve stale LiteLLM cache instead of zeroing costs #275; aider stays open across re-prompts under --yes-always #274.

Session history streams over WebSocket (replaces 30s polling) with bit-packed 60-bucket rings #249; daemon serves dashboard from disk so the UI is hot-editable in dev #267.

v0.3.10 2026-04-27

Sweep zombie sessions on daemon startup #242.

Prune deleted sessions from apiGroups synchronously so the overlay updates immediately instead of after a 30s rehydrate #244.

v0.3.9 2026-04-27
  • Aider adapter shipped · #220, #224 — first agent through the new /ir:onboard-agent flow; tmux-driven interactive driver, scenario fixtures, trailing-? waiting contract.

Homebrew cask via own tap #187brew install --cask irrlicht.

v0.3.8 2026-04-24
  • Menu bar rewritten on NSStatusItem + NSPanel · #196 — eliminates the one-frame background flash on collapse/expand; panel grows downward from the status item.

"…" overflow indicator on the menu-bar icon when more than five project groups are active #193; unified agent registration via agents.Config #199 — foundation for the v0.4 Phase A refactor.

v0.3.7 2026-04-24
  • Agent history bar — per-session state timeline with 1s / 10s / 60s granularity — cycling mode button switches between context display and history; persists across daemon restarts.
    Session rows showing per-row colored history timelines and a waiting-question block

Click-to-focus extends to 17 terminal/IDE hosts (Zed, Rio, Tabby, WaveTerm, Alacritty, Nova, Kitty, JetBrains family, …); Claude Code task-list progress dots in the session row.

v0.3.6 2026-04-19
  • Click-to-focus the launching terminal or IDE · #170 — clicking a session row raises iTerm2 / Terminal.app / VS Code via AX title-matching; ppid-chain host resolution.

Web dashboard renders on initial load (was empty until the 30s rehydrator) #167; project-group reorder chevrons restored #172.

v0.3.5 2026-04-19
  • Per-group cost display with day / week / month / year timeframes · #83, #162 — project headers cycle through cost windows instead of a single hard-coded one.
  • LiteLLM as the single source of truth for model context windows + pricing · #165 — hand-maintained capacity table removed; the daemon picks up new models without a restart. 1M context for Sonnet 4.6 lands.

curl | sh installer at irrlicht.io/install.sh; daemon binds localhost-only and rejects cross-origin WebSocket upgrades #94, #155.

v0.3.4 2026-04-14
  • Gas Town full role support with recursive group nesting · #154 — first-class role registry (mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, polecat, scribe, …) instead of ad-hoc strings.

Desktop notifications on macOS state transitions #147.

v0.3.3 2026-04-11
  • Full session lifecycle recording + offline replay harness · #107, #138 ir:test-mac writes a sidecar; replay replays it byte-identically against the production tailer and fails on drift.

Cost display toggle in the macOS menu bar, off by default #130.

v0.3.2 2026-04-08
  • Claude Code session-state flicker eliminated · #102 — four distinct bugs fixed: stale-tool timer, open-tool tracking desync, interrupt-vs-cancel, stop_reason allow-list.

Offline replay harness lands — any Claude Code, Codex, or Pi transcript runs through the production tailer + classifier in virtual time; a 500-hour session replays in under a second.

v0.3.1 2026-04-06
  • Dynamic model capacity from LiteLLM — context-window sizes and pricing fetched at daemon startup, replacing hardcoded fallbacks. Sets the stage for v0.3.5's single-source-of-truth lookup.

Reorderable project groups in the macOS popup and menu bar; agent landscape page launches with 63 tracked agents.

v0.3.0 2026-04-06 shipped
Permission-pending state + Gas Town orchestrator UI
  • Permission-pending detection · #108 — sessions with non-blocking tool calls awaiting user approval flip to waiting after a 5-second stale-tool timeout. New piece of the three-state vocabulary.
  • Gas Town educational UI — role-hierarchy visualization and active-tool display for orchestrator sessions.
  • Per-adapter transcript parsers — each agent owns its own parser; foundation for the v0.4 Phase A refactor.
v0.2.4 2026-04-05
  • Will-o'-the-wisp brand identity lands — macOS app icon plus SVG/PNG favicons across the landing page and docs; SEO metadata (Open Graph, Twitter Card, canonical URL) on every site page.

/ir:release automation skill drives DMG + PKG + universal-binary builds, changelog updates, and GitHub release creation from one command; branded DMG background asset.

v0.2.3 2026-04-04
  • Subagent lifecycle end-to-end — background and foreground subagents detected, tracked, and shown as children with a purple count badge on the parent; cascade cleanup on parent exit.
    Session row with a purple subagent count badge showing 2 child sessions
  • Hierarchical dashboard API GET /api/v1/sessions returns Orchestrator → Group → Agent → Children with SubagentSummary counts.

PID-discovery retry with backoff (500ms, 1s, 2s) plus CWD fallback resolves multi-instance race.

v0.2.2 2026-04-04
  • Embedded daemon in app bundle · closes #35 Irrlicht.app ships as a single artifact with both SwiftUI UI and the Go daemon; DaemonManager spawns, monitors, and restarts it with exponential backoff. No separate LaunchAgents.

Idle ready sessions auto-delete after 30 minutes (configurable); dark-forest landing hero with floating wisps animation.

v0.2.1 2026-04-04
  • UI state icons land — hammer (working) / hourglass (waiting) / checkmark (ready) replace the earlier dot-only menu-bar rows. Same vocabulary survived through v0.4.5's unified-state-icons milestone.

Session persistence across daemon restarts (sessions kept as ready instead of deleted); worktree awareness via git-common-dir; MCP tool detection prevents browser-automation tools from flipping state to waiting.

v0.2.0 2026-04-03 shipped
First bundled installer — Codex + cost tracking
  • Codex adapter shipped — first agent beyond Claude Code; recursive directory watching, transcript parsing, model + token extraction.
  • Cost estimation with per-model pricing — estimated session cost shown per session and aggregated per project group.

How this page is maintained

Hand-edited as part of /ir:release. When a release ships, its row moves from the future section down across the "today" line into the past, and any closed-deferred items reincarnate when their wiki gates lift. The version dates and themes in the future section are bold guesses; the issue and wiki links are the source of truth.

If an item here looks stale relative to its linked issue, the issue wins — file a bug.
