Changelog

New updates and improvements to Admiral.

v1.0.11

Requires macOS 15.0

  • • Skills Versioning: every save to a skill now creates a version snapshot stored in SwiftData with full version history, one-click restore, and labels for important milestones
  • • Directory-Level Versioning: skills backed by a directory snapshot all pages together as a single version, so restoring rolls back the entire skill atomically
  • • History Tab in Inspector: new clock icon tab in the inspector panel shows version history when a skill is selected with version number, timestamp, optional label, and a Restore button
  • • Versioned Schema Migration: introduced SwiftData VersionedSchema (V1) and SchemaMigrationPlan to safely add the SkillVersion model without data loss
  • • Skill Toolbar Reorder: toolbar buttons are now ordered left-to-right as Save, Undo, divider, Add Page, Open in Finder, and context menu for a more logical workflow
  • • Text Save Button: the skill toolbar save button now displays "Save" as text with flexible width instead of an icon, improving clarity
  • • Focus Chat Input (Cmd+L): new keyboard shortcut to instantly focus the chat input box from anywhere in the app
  • • Toggle Dictation (Cmd+J): new keyboard shortcut to start or stop voice dictation in the chat input, accessible from any panel
  • • Stop Agent (Cmd+.): new keyboard shortcut to interrupt the running agent with graceful interrupt on first press and force-stop on second press
  • • Sidebar Footer: new footer bar at the bottom of the sidebar with quick-access Settings button and a Help menu mirroring the menu bar
Download v1.0.11

v1.0.10

Requires macOS 15.0

  • • Session Import Browser: new standalone window for browsing and importing existing Claude Code sessions from disk — with search, date and model filters, date-grouped sections, multi-select with checkmarks, and deduplication of already-imported sessions
  • • Session Preview: preview a session's full message history in a read-only window before importing — click the eye icon on any row to open it
  • • Batch Import: select multiple sessions and import them all at once with progress feedback
  • • Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts: new Shortcuts tab in Settings lets you view all app shortcuts and remap them to your preferred key combinations — changes apply instantly to menus and persist across sessions
  • • Remote Branches in Branch Picker: branch picker now includes a Local/Remote tab bar to browse and switch to remote tracking branches alongside local ones
  • • Editable Skill Name: skill inspector Info tab now includes an editable Name field alongside Description, Version, and other metadata
  • • Allowed Tools Token Field: the Allowed Tools field in the skill inspector is now a token-based input — tools appear as purple removable chips with a text field to add new ones
  • • File Navigator Drag & Drop: drag files from external apps into the navigator to copy them into the target folder, or rearrange files within the tree to move them between directories — dropping onto a file targets its parent folder
  • • Root Drop Zone: files can now be dropped into the empty space below the file list to place them in the project root directory
  • • Smoother Folder Expansion: opening a folder for the first time no longer lags — children load before the expansion animates
  • • Scroll Position Stability: the file navigator no longer jumps to the top after moving or copying files in large directories
  • • Reduced Flicker: file operations now trigger a single tree redraw instead of multiple, eliminating visual flicker
  • • Launch Greeting Animation: on every app launch, a centered splash window displays a time-of-day greeting (Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening) with the user's first name over an Apple Intelligence–style rainbow glow — then transitions smoothly into the main app window
  • • User Profile in Settings: new Profile section in General settings with First Name and Last Name fields, auto-populated from your macOS account name on first launch
  • • Improved Onboarding Glow: the Apple Intelligence rainbow blob effect in onboarding now spreads colors more evenly

  • • Reorderable Tool Grid: drag and drop sidebar tools to customize their position — order persists across sessions
  • • Chat Scroll Fix: short threads now correctly pin to the bottom of the chat area, and the "Jump to Recent" button no longer stays visible when already at the bottom
  • • Project Overview: reactive chat lists, improved hygiene panels with empty states and prominent action buttons, and worktree cards with create-chat support
  • • Project Row: name now spans the full width of the sidebar row, with the ellipsis menu appearing only on hover — matching chat row behavior. Menu items now match the right-click context menu, with Open With moved between Import Session and Remove Project
