- The composer’s Add menu is consolidated, and it warns before sending if a computer, agent or balance isn’t available.
- Tasks, Inbox, Files and Devices now say clearly when loading fails instead of showing an empty list.
- On-device agent sessions are saved and restore their workspace and model when reopened.
- Unified confirmation dialogs and keyboard focus; a blue dot marks new results in the sidebar, and narrow windows lay out better.
Changelog
What’s new in BeeWork
Every update on the desktop Alpha channel. Once installed, BeeWork checks for updates automatically.
- The project sidebar becomes a task tree with filters, keyboard navigation and moving tasks into projects; new tasks can preselect an agent.
- Running tasks show a plan checklist and clearer step progress; handled approvals are tucked under their round.
- On-device task data is stored encrypted, with more reliable loading and sync after an offline restart.
- Multiple computers on one account are told apart, old connections can be cleared, and offline devices and interrupted runs are clearly shown.
- Project pages have two columns, with search and expandable finished tasks; the project sidebar shows pending items.
- When creating a task, project, agent and computer pickers sit together above the composer.
- ⌘N preselects the current project, with clearer messages for unavailable or same-named computers.
- Deliverables at the same path show only the latest version; earlier versions stay in the timeline.
- Projects: a project list and project pages, with tasks you can add to or remove from a project.
- Long tasks get round-by-round navigation and search, and can be exported as Markdown.
- Clearer feedback when stopping tasks, reordering the queue, marking unread, or when deleting an agent fails.
- A new keyboard shortcuts guide, plus steadier session recovery and connection status for the on-device agent.
- A cleaner task list: status and date filters now live in menus, and each task shows its result at a glance.
- Execution details list every run with its request, result, model, and tool activity, newest first.
- After an interruption, review the latest result and continue right in the conversation, without a blocking dialog.
- Phone tasks can choose an execution mode and model reasoning level, where the service supports it.
- New Agents get skill suggestions based on their role, and the skill catalog shows localized summaries and categories with easier refresh and paging.
- Agent owners can choose who may use their message-channel bots (owner only or everyone), and the built-in Agent engine is more stable.
- Images you sent are previewable when you reopen a task, and task actions appear once earlier replies have loaded.
- Continuing a task shows the selected model, and unfinished tasks can be stopped and then deleted.
- Copy a full reply from personal tasks; organization tasks keep member sharing.
- Computers and phones are grouped under My devices, local USB status is shown, and phone setup and recovery after removal are improved.
- Scheduled tasks let you pick a GitHub or Gmail event source and then the matching account; the wallet shows top-up history for the current space.
- One place to recover interrupted, failed, and queued tasks; uncertain results are reviewed before continuing.
- Voice and send buttons stay visible, new follow-ups scroll to the top, and execution steps expand on demand.
- Consistent Agent naming, restored light and dark theme depth, refined file cards, and full-screen workspace.
- Pick a computer in one step with simpler authorization, plus fixes for Agent switching, authorization retries, and screen timeouts.
- Better personal and organization notifications with approvals you can handle right from a notification, plus improved approval receipts and model selection.
- Consistent light and dark themes, home screen, and main page layouts, with existing schedules and run history kept as they were.
- Execution environment and folder settings now sit in the task composer, while the computer screen entry stays separate.
- Clearer task status, approval history, and reply footers, without premature warnings on normal sends.
- Better handling of long model names, narrow windows, and ongoing conversations, keeping queues, attachments, and permission controls.
- ⌘Q now fully quits BeeWork, asking first if tasks are still running; closing the window still lets work continue in the background.
- The first local-execution confirmation now matches actual behavior: closing the window keeps running, quitting stops it, and signing out stops local execution and disconnects the model.
- Third-party sign-in now returns you to the window where you started signing in.
- The notification inbox shows every item that needs your attention, with more accurate unread counts.
- Skill catalog search ignores letter case, and you can load more results page by page.
- When a new Agent needs your permission for AI processing, its profile and the composer offer a clear Allow / Not now choice.
- Sign in with your Google or Apple account.
- Add attachments to tasks and edit follow-up messages while they wait in the queue.
- Updated computer selection and local setup, with device cards that tell cloud phones from physical phones.
- Task status reflects what actually happened, separating start failures, run failures, and results awaiting confirmation, with stop and recovery actions.
- Permissions are requested when needed and system permissions can be managed in Settings.
- Selecting part of the text in task replies and file previews works again; wallet loading is fixed and model and task errors are clearer.
- Results from the same scheduled task stay together; click its title to edit, and task names now save correctly.
- Fewer repeated hints and entry points, better-aligned personal and organization icons, and added logos for models such as GLM, Grok, and Kimi.
- Protection against duplicate submissions for scheduled tasks, Agents, devices, organizations, and files.
- Fixes for account session isolation, pending-item sync, and retrying after a failed sign-out.
- Get to your tasks faster after sign-in; recently viewed tasks use an encrypted local cache to reopen quickly.
- New personal and shared-space wallets show your balance and total usage.
- Download updates from the sidebar and watch progress; before restarting you are reminded of unfinished tasks and ongoing actions.
- Release history is now in About and can be read offline.
- Upgrade from Alpha 2 inside the app: download the new version, confirm, and BeeWork restarts to finish installing.
- See download progress, and confirm before the app restarts to install.
- Your local settings are kept after updating, and downloaded document preview components keep working offline, including Chinese Word and PowerPoint files.
- The first version with in-app updates: BeeWork checks for new versions at launch, and you download and confirm a restart to install.
- Check for updates manually in Settings → About.
- A lightweight installer: document preview components download the first time you preview a file and are reused offline afterwards.
- The installer is developer-signed and notarized by Apple. Alpha 1 users need to install this version manually once; later updates happen in the app.
