Changelog

1.0.6.0

• Cache hit rate on your session keys. Claude Code, Codex and Pi keys now show ↻ and a percentage next to the context number: how much of the conversation the AI provider reused from its cache instead of processing it again. A high rate usually means faster replies and lower token costs; a sudden drop shows the cache was lost, for example after a long break or a model switch. Prefer the key to fill by cache instead of context? Turn on Fill by cache hit rate in Setup → Safety.
• Windows: open the exact Desktop conversation. Tapping a Codex Desktop or Claude Desktop session now opens that conversation, just like on a Mac. Before, it only brought the app to the front.
• Codex Desktop after a restart. Tapping a Codex Desktop session goes straight to its conversation again right after VibeDeck or Stream Deck restarts. Before, the key showed an alert until the agent finished its turn.
• Quieter finished turns. The Done sound is now a soft tick and is off by default, so a finished turn no longer sounds like an approval request. Turn it back on under Alert sounds.
• Easier license recovery. When your keys are locked, Setup opens with the License card at the top, and an ended trial or revoked key now has a field to paste another key.

1.0.5.1

• Codex Desktop: tap opens the conversation again with the latest ChatGPT app, which moved its Codex CLI inside the app bundle.
• Claude Desktop: tap finds the conversation again in large session stores (about 110 sessions or more) and after the agent changed folder inside the project.
• Codex Desktop: a permission request no longer blocks tap navigation for the rest of the session.

1.0.5.0

• Stop button. Tap a session key three times within two seconds to stop the agent's current turn. The session stays open, and a waiting approval that VibeDeck holds is declined first. Works in iTerm2, Ghostty, tmux and herdr panes, Windows Terminal (x64) and Codex Direct Control; other hosts show that Stop isn't available.
• Context at a glance. The key fills up as the conversation grows: amber from 80%, a red percentage from 95%. Claude Code, Codex and Pi, when the agent reports its context.
• Token burn pulse. A working Claude Code or Codex key pulses faster when the agent burns tokens faster than your usual pace.
• Early warnings. A red border tells you when Claude Code runs too many subagents, or when a Claude Code or Codex session burns far above its own pace or spends tokens for 30 minutes with no tool activity. Tap to dismiss. Warnings never stop anything.
• Subagents on the key. Claude Code keys show how many subagents are running, and their tokens count toward the session.
• Your rules. Turn each Safety feature on or off in Setup and set your own warning thresholds. New Stopped and Alert sounds.
• New Session keys for Kimi Code and Hermes. Status only. Question alerts for Codex (when its last message ends in a question, with current hooks) and Pi (prompts from the VibeDeck Pi extension).
• Dictation with OpenAI now uses gpt-transcribe.
• Private by design: token counts come from the agents' local session files, never your conversations.
• Codex 0.150.0 or newer is now required. After updating, reinstall the Codex hooks in Setup and approve them once in Codex.

1.0.4.0

• Tap opens the exact conversation in Claude Desktop and Codex Desktop. Hold to interrupt. Cards clear once you have acted on them; closed or stuck conversations no longer linger.
• Three new Session keys: Gemini CLI, Kilo and Qwen Code. Status and waiting cards only, no typing, dictation or model controls. DeepSeek Harness shows on All Sessions and Swarm.
• Setup is simpler. Connect Codex with one click, and every agent card shows what works on the deck before you install.
• Pause music while an agent works. A new Sounds option pauses Spotify, Music (macOS) or the active player (Windows) when an agent waits for you, finishes, or both.
• More exact navigation. herdr panes, OpenCode TUI, Orca terminal and the Claude VS Code bridge. Swarm gets a Previous session option that steps back through recent sessions.
• Uninstall now removes the new agents' hooks too.
• T3 Code. We built the integration and sent it upstream, but the T3 team declined to add external-app support for now. We are watching their repo and will hook in the moment any door opens.

1.0.3.0

• Private local dictation. Download the engine and model in Setup. Audio stays on your computer, with no transcription API key or usage fees.
• Easy downloads. Track progress, cancel, retry, or remove local files from Setup.
• Speak to your agent. Hold a session key to dictate, release to insert, and tap to send.
• Dictate Anywhere. Paste speech into the active app without pressing Return. This replaces your clipboard.
• Project vocabulary. Copy an agent prompt from Dictation Settings to generate .vibedeck-vocab with your project's names and technologies.
• More dictation controls. API model presets, custom endpoints, spoken commands and symbols, plus custom replacements and reusable snippets.
• UI improvements. Refreshed Setup screens and action settings, with clearer labels and layouts that fit narrow panels.

1.0.2.0

• Add dedicated Grok Build keys with live prompt, completion, failure, and session-end status.
• Add dedicated Pi keys with live progress, questions, errors, and opt-in Allow/Deny controls.
• Guide Pi and Grok setup while preserving existing hooks.

1.0.1.7

• Control Codex from your Stream Deck: approve or deny requests, grant session-wide Always when Codex offers it, switch models and reasoning effort, and apply presets on supported macOS and Windows x64 setups. Requires Codex 0.149.1 or newer.
• See what Codex is doing at a glance: each session key shows its live status, model, reasoning effort, and working directory.
• Jump directly to the session that needs you, with more reliable terminal focus across iTerm2, WezTerm, Kitty, Ghostty, Warp, Alacritty, tmux, VS Code, Cursor, and Windows Terminal.
• Bring supported GUI sessions to the front, including Orca, T3 Code, Claude desktop, and Codex desktop.
• Set up Codex more reliably: VibeDeck now finds the real Codex command behind shell aliases, nvm, Volta, other version managers, and custom PATH configurations.
• Complete Codex setup with a guided checklist that verifies the CLI, hooks, trust, connection mode, and first live session before controls unlock.
• Upgrade without repeating setup: VibeDeck recognizes supported PATH and alias configurations created by earlier releases.
• Keep session keys responsive through reconnects, brief status gaps, completions, session endings, and Direct Control restarts. Approval prompts continue reaching your Stream Deck after reconnection.
• Start Codex Direct Control more reliably: VibeDeck reuses the server it owns, avoids duplicate servers, leaves unrelated processes alone, and recovers from stalled startup.
• Clear closed Codex sessions from your keys automatically. Open VibeDeck Setup once, reinstall the Codex integration, and approve the updated hooks when Codex asks.
• Improve Windows reliability: first-press focus targets the correct terminal pane, respects the request timeout instead of stalling in PowerShell, and reads agent configuration files saved with a UTF-8 BOM.
