Release notes and product updates for Nora.

v0.1.56Published 5 Jun 2026

Features

Review changes inline in the diff viewer: add notes on changed lines, manage them in a review tray in the Changes panel, and send batched feedback back to a running agent.
Opening a diff for the first time shows a short guide to inline notes and the review tray.
Agent settings can install missing agent tools for you and show live install progress.
The agent catalog includes more built-in agents, each with install instructions.
Settings include an option to run onboarding again.
Help includes a Resource Monitor with live CPU and memory graphs, plus a breakdown of app, agent, and terminal processes.
Commit message generation can run on a local model instead of a cloud API key—choose on-device in Settings → AI and install the runtime and model from there.
Voice input supports cloud transcription or on-device Whisper, with one-click model setup, clearer listening and transcribing states, a level meter while recording, and a stop button on the mic.

Dictation no longer shows an error when you stop recording without speaking.
Onboarding is easier to follow: clearer progress and step titles, optional vs required setup cards, copyable install commands, theme previews, and a dedicated appearance step.
Tooltips are easier to read in dark mode, size to their content, and appear above dialogs instead of behind them.
Diff review comments and changed-file rows are more compact in the Changes panel.
Inline diff comments use clearer highlighting so they stand out in the diff.
More agent tools are detected automatically after you install them.
Workspace sidebar section counts appear inline in section headers.

Center tab Close Others now closes agent and terminal tabs correctly, with one confirmation when closing multiple agents.
The macOS Help menu shows Resource Monitor right away, even before the rest of the menu finishes loading.
New Agent dialog: the Start button looks correct in light and dark mode, and the task selector defaults to No task.
Terminal tabs remember and restore the working directory for each tab.
Diff review notes are saved per workspace and survive restarts.
Diff layout stays tight without extra spacing from inline notes.
The footer shows only agents you have enabled and installed; usage and account controls appear only when the agent supports them.
Account switch errors use the standard error dialog; usage refreshes without repeated sign-in prompts when an agent is signed out; Login appears when you are not authenticated; Claude Code sign-in no longer leaves the switch button stuck while login is pending.
Agent icons use official logos when available, with good contrast in dark mode.
Newer catalog agents show proper icons and install buttons in settings.
Worktree menus correctly enable and disable actions and run workspace scripts from worktrees.
