Also in the box:

- Quick open β€” Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher &amp; usage tracking β€” See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews β€” Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use β€” Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state β€” Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more β€” we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
