CoolDesk: äldre versioner att ladda ner

What's new in 2.0.21
Includes everything from 2.0.20, which was out for a few hours and never reached winget.
✨ Added
- Single | Multi switch in Browse's toolbar, with its own focus-mode button.
- Scratch notes. A New note button (the Tabs header, the multi view bar and the new-tab screen) opens a note that stays with its tab until you save it to a workspace.
- A blank tab offers a shell, a note or your files, right on the new-tab screen. It no longer opens Home in the side panel.
🐛 Fixed
- Claude Code and other full-screen programs drew garbled in terminal tabs — lines at the wrong width, overwriting each other. The shell now always gets the terminal's real size once it starts, and symbols and emoji are measured with Unicode 11 widths.
- The sidebar's shell said "Couldn't start a shell". Since the sidebar became its own window in 2.0.19, the terminal only accepted the main window and Spotlight. Shells now start in the sidebar and bar windows too.
- The file manager stays usable in narrow multi view tiles — its sidebar becomes a drawer and the preview keeps its room.
- A folder tile went blank in multi view when you clicked another tile, like a shell next to it. Folder tiles now stay on screen; only the tile you're in takes the keyboard.
- The sidebar's folder browser was squeezed to a few rows by an empty preview pane under the list. It's a full-height list again.

What's new in 2.0.19 — desktop app
This release is the desktop app only; the Chrome extension is unchanged.
✨ Added
- CoolDesk speaks 14 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Hindi, Arabic (right-to-left), Chinese, Japanese and Korean, across Settings, the sidebar, the dock and the widgets. Pick one in Settings → General, or let it follow your system.
- Sidebar and dock are separate windows. The sidebar and the taskbar-style dock each get their own window and edge handle, and you turn them on independently in Settings → Windows or from the tray — one, both or neither, alongside the full app. Drag the sidebar's inner edge to resize it.
- Multi view shows your open tabs side by side — pages, terminals, files and folders in a grid that fits the window, with dividers you can drag. A layout menu switches between single view, multi view and focus mode.
- Cool Activity and Settings open as tabs.
- Search suggestions from your chosen engine (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Ecosia, YouTube) in Spotlight, the address bar and Home's search. Turn them off in Settings → General → Search suggestions.
- Spotlight commands — /shell for real shells inside Spotlight (they keep running when it closes), /todo and /notes for to-dos and notes per workspace, and /help.
- Clipboard history in Browse's Home, next to the Shelf — click a clip to copy it back.
💬 Changed
- Browse is simpler. No header bar: one ☰ menu holds the sidebar, dock, Cool Activity, Settings and updates. The side panel is just Home and Page, and Home is one page — search, tabs, the workspace's pinned links (pick the workspace right in its header), folders, notes on the page, clipboard and Shelf.
- Folders open as tabs with the full file manager, instead of in the side panel.
- Browse shows only what opens inside it — running apps and your other browsers' tabs stay in the sidebar, dock and Spotlight.
- The main window always stays the full app and opens maximized; it no longer turns into the sidebar or the bar.
- The Shelf holds files only — downloads and dropped files. Copied text and images live in clipboard history.
- macOS-style dropdowns and menus in Settings and Browse; a cleaner, solid address-bar suggestion list with short paths.
- Terminal tabs use a short prompt and show the folder you're in.
- Widgets follow the app language, including dates and numbers.
🐛 Fixed
- Pages felt slower than in a browser — they now appear as soon as they can draw, instead of after every image and ad has loaded.
- A page could stay stuck on screen after closing its tab while it was still opening.
- A white block could cover Settings, and a terminal could start all white.

What's new in 2.0.17
✨ Added
- Browse — an in-app browser. The desktop app is now one screen: tabs for web pages, files, folders and terminals, with a side panel for finding things (Home, Tabs, Files, Shelf, Notes, Page). Pages use native WebKit with built-in ad/tracker blocking, highlights and notes, find in page, copy as Markdown, per-site dark mode and screenshots. Back/Forward, ⌘1–9 to switch tabs.
- Home — blank tabs show your workspaces on top and what's open below: running apps, browser tabs, widgets, folders and dev servers.
- Terminal — terminal tabs and a bottom drawer (Ctrl+) with your real login shell. Type > cmdor/run cmd` in the spotlight to run a command in a terminal tab, and a compact Shell card in the docked sidebar.
- File viewers — Markdown/HTML preview, JSON tree, CSV/TSV table, audio, and archives (zip, tar, 7z, rar): browse inside, preview, Extract here, or Compress to .zip from the right-click menu.
- Page clips — pick a table, chart or block on a page and save it as a workspace note.
- Clipboard history (opt-in, Settings → Behaviour) — everything you copy in the side dock: text, code, links, colors, images and files, with preview, pin, drag-out and Save to Shelf. Password-manager copies and text that looks like a password, key or token are skipped; choose which kinds get recorded.
- Passwords (opt-in, Settings → Behaviour) — a small encrypted password vault in the side dock, locked with a master password (Argon2id + XChaCha20-Poly1305, stored only on this device). Click to copy a password — it's hidden from clipboard managers and cleared after 30 seconds. Locks itself after 5 minutes idle. There is no recovery if you forget the master password.
- Real browser history in search — the spotlight now searches Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi and Chromium history (all profiles), and picking a page that's already open switches to its tab.
- Page guard — background pages sleep when idle or heavy, crashed pages recover, a "using a lot of CPU" notice with Stop page, and per-site camera/mic permissions and mute.
💬 Changed
- Smarter search ranking shared across tabs, links, bookmarks and history: words in any order, one-typo tolerance, and near-duplicate URLs collapsed into one row.
- Docked sidebar gets an Active card (running apps and open tabs) and shows the two most active workspaces.
- Spotlight's Markdown preview renders like the Browse preview.
- Page stats show real memory (physical footprint) and CPU%, including CoolDesk's own WebKit processes.
- Restyled Clipboard and Passwords cards; wallpaper mode no longer turns their buttons into glass pills or hides their inputs.
🐛 Fixed
- Docked sidebar and bottom bar painting solid black instead of see-through.
- Couldn't go fullscreen after undocking.
- Hotkeys and dock show/hide breaking once a browser page was open.
🔒 Security
- Browser pages and web-app windows can't call app commands; capabilities scoped to CoolDesk's own windows.
- Camera/mic asked per site instead of granted to every page.
- Local sidecar no longer accepts WebSocket connections from arbitrary localhost pages.

What's new in 2.0.15
✨ Added
- The agent can see your tabs, history and apps — ask "suggest workspaces from my history" and it answers from what you actually use (time per site, open tabs, pages not in any workspace). Works with Claude Code and opencode. It still can't change anything until you press Apply.
- CoolDesk learns from your choices — what you apply, untick or discard teaches it where pages belong, and it remembers across restarts. Pages you later remove from a workspace count against that suggestion; ones you reopen from search count for it.
- Proposals as a diff — changes are grouped by workspace with +/− counts, a reason on every line, and moves shown as moves. Untick single lines or a whole workspace, or use Review one by one (Y keep, N skip).
- File manager updates live — new downloads and saved files appear instantly, no refresh.
- Scope pills — /u, /a, /f turn into URLs / Apps / Files pills, like /agent.
💬 Changed
- Redesigned agent chat: message bubbles, one live progress line, and short answers with the details on the card.
- Apply a proposal with ⌘/Ctrl+Enter; Enter always sends your message.
🐛 Fixed
- Pressing Enter on a follow-up could apply the pending proposal instead of sending it.
- The agent could claim it couldn't see your history while CoolDesk's local service was restarting.
- The agent's "Create" button kept offering to set up the same project.
- opencode's "> build · model" header showed up inside answers.

What's new
See the full changelog for details.

Fixed
- Sidebar/bottom-bar dock could get permanently stuck, unreachable from the in-app "back to full window" control.
- The docked taskbar bar (and its collapsed edge handle) could render underneath the real macOS Dock or menu bar — invisible and unclickable.
- macOS installs showing "CoolDesk is damaged and can't be opened" — the bundled fix script is now impossible to miss (renamed, with a README, in an arranged DMG window).
- The Homebrew cask was silently stuck on old versions — the update job now fails loudly instead of no-oping, and the release workflow's gh asset-URL lookup (a long-standing wrong JSON field) is fixed.
- AI CLI agents (Claude Code, opencode, Codex) spawned from the spotlight could fail to find a binary that works fine in Terminal, on macOS/Linux.
Added
- Dock-to-side button in the bottom/top taskbar bar.
- Explicit per-layout recovery options in the tray/menu-bar icon: Full Window, Side Dock, Bottom Bar — always reachable regardless of what state the window is stuck in.
- Per-column accent color on the Overview dashboard.
Changed
- Onboarding tour's wallpaper step now works in extension mode too.

CoolDesk 2.0.7 — a launcher that organizes your work by project.
> If your app stopped offering updates, this release fixes that. The previous
> release was published under the tag v1.0.7 while actually shipping 1.7.0
> binaries. The updater compared 1.0.7 against your installed version, decided
> you were already newer, and never offered anything. Version numbers now follow
> the app's real version again, so 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 installs will pick this up
> normally. Nothing to do on your side.
Project workspaces — .cooldesk/
The big one. A project can now carry a committed .cooldesk/ folder holding the
knowledge that usually lives in someone's head: what the project is, how it's
built, the decisions behind it, shared todos, run commands and services. It's
checked into the repo, so it travels with a git clone and every teammate — and
every AI — reads the same thing.
- Authored by the CoolDesk Claude Code plugin — /cd-init, /cd-sync,
/cd-todo, /cd-decision, /cd-link.
- Found automatically. CoolDesk scans your usual project folders on startup
and turns every .cooldesk/ project it finds into a workspace. Previously a
project only appeared if the plugin ran while the app happened to be open, so
repos initialised beforehand — or pulled onto a second machine — stayed
invisible. Projects you delete stay deleted; they aren't re-added.
- Linked projects. A frontend, backend and plugin repo can be grouped as one
workspace (hub-and-spoke), with their todos, commands and docs merged. Link
them from the file manager or with /cd-link.
- Project panel showing identity, git branch, run commands you can launch
in place, shared todos grouped by project, and committed docs.
Search
- One spotlight everywhere. The desktop app now uses the same global
spotlight as the new tab, instead of a separate search that behaved
differently.
- Fixed tab-group handling and the URL count shown in spotlight results.
Widgets and dock
- Widget store for the dashboard.
- Bottom dock with app switching and workspace layout controls.
Workspaces
- Redesigned workspace cards with clearer click targets and navigation.
- Sidebar / taskbar workspace view.
- Knowledge graph view.
- Workspace mapping, and uninstall handling for downloaded apps.
Onboarding and appearance
- First-run startup flow and onboarding tour.
- Redesigned theme and settings, more wallpapers, and a custom accent colour
picker.
Fixes
- Window focus handling.
- Scrolling in the details view.
- Dock and workspace layout fixes.
- Updater reliability.
