Changelog

Agent tabs now name themselves, plus fixes for prompt paste, dialogs, and worktrees.

• Agent tabs take their title from the prompt you send, so you can tell them apart.
• Request Changes now waits until a fresh review agent is ready before sending the prompt, so it no longer launches empty or with a garbled prompt.
• Close confirmations use your system’s native dialog.
• The worktree rename field keeps focus when you start a rename from the context menu.

Fixes for agent status, source control, worktrees, and the editor.

• Codex no longer shows a “blocked” status while it auto-reviews your changes.
• An open diff now closes when you commit its file outside the app.
• Agent icons match your theme’s contrast, so they stay readable in light and dark.
• New worktrees default to ~/.verne/worktrees, matching what Settings shows.
• Fixed the editor marking a clean file as unsaved.

Small fixes for the embedded browser, plus a fresh set of agent icons.

• Automation tabs your agents drive now run isolated, so a reload they trigger no longer disturbs the tabs you are using.
• Each agent in the panel shows a clean SVG icon that stays sharp at any size.

Faster ways to move files around, broader editor support, and a couple of fixes.

• Drag a file from Finder straight into a terminal to drop its path in.
• The editor now highlights MDX and MDC files.
• Browser screenshots now capture a tab even while it is hidden.
• Fixed a save indicator that could stay marked dirty when the file backend stalled.

Broader syntax support and a quieter interface.

• Syntax highlighting covers more languages, with faster and more accurate detection.
• Terminal and file scrollbars now appear only when you hover, for a cleaner look.

The update flow and agent detection both got more dependable.

• The updater shows continuous progress through both download and install.
• Agent status clears when another command takes over a terminal, so you no longer see a stale agent label.

The biggest update yet: refreshed branding, a rebuilt file search, and a round of browser and terminal fixes.

A Liquid Glass icon for macOS 26

Verne ships a new Liquid Glass app icon on macOS 26, with refreshed branding throughout. Older macOS versions keep the classic icon.

Faster file search with recent files

We rebuilt file search on a faster fuzzy matcher with built-in frecency, so the files you touch most rise to the top. The command palette now opens with a Recent Files section.

A steadier embedded browser

• Transparent sites no longer flash Verne’s colors; webviews render on white.
• Switching tabs no longer jumps as the page resizes.
• Failed loads show a clear error screen instead of a blank page.

Fixes

• Backgrounded agents no longer reprint their welcome banner when you resize another tab.
• The headline memory figure now matches the per-process breakdown.

Verne is a real macOS workspace for your CLI coding agents. Wrap Claude Code, Codex, or any CLI agent in an IDE with terminals, an editor, a browser, git, and notes, and run several projects side by side.

Run agents side by side

Open a terminal per agent and keep them all in view. The Agents panel detects which agent runs where and shows its live state, so you can tell at a glance which one is working, blocked, or idle.

Sessions that persist

A background daemon owns your terminals, so they survive an app relaunch or a full restart and reattach where you left off.

A built-in editor

Browse files, open tabs, and edit with the Monaco editor that powers VS Code, including the themes and keybindings you already know.

Review and commit

See every changed file, read a full line-by-line diff, and commit without leaving the workspace.

An embedded browser

Preview your work in real browser tabs, then let your agents drive the page over MCP to click, type, and navigate.

Notes and voice

Keep notes per workspace that your agents can read over MCP, and drive Verne by voice when your hands are busy.
