Stop Being the Message Bus Between Your Own Agents

Stop Being the Message Bus Between Your Own Agents

Ask for work that starts when another agent is done: 1DevTool v1.72.2 holds your follow-up until the upstream terminal's turn really ends, then sends it for you — plus a macOS notch strip, readable subagent history, and a folder tree over Git changes.

Reuse a prompt without losing the one you are writing

Reuse a prompt without losing the one you are writing

1DevTool v1.72.1 puts Prompt History inside the Agent Input composer, inserting a past prompt at your caret instead of over your draft — and makes Improve performance stop killing agents that were still working.

Your agent no longer has to run where your code lives

Your agent no longer has to run where your code lives

1DevTool v1.72.0 makes machines real: one roster for every computer your projects live on, an explicit control for where the AI CLI actually runs, and a Repo panel that puts CI pipelines and issues beside your terminals.

Which Terminal Is Eating Your Machine — Now You Can Actually Tell

Which Terminal Is Eating Your Machine — Now You Can Actually Tell

The Resource Manager now splits CPU and memory into three buckets that add up to what your OS reports — 1DevTool, your terminals, and everything else — with a strip that names the pane to deal with. Plus agent hibernation, idle tab unloading, and an install less than half the size.

Register any coding CLI as a first-class agent

Register any coding CLI as a first-class agent

Custom agents let you plug a fork, a niche CLI, or your own wrapper into 1DevTool with its own logo, session history and memory files — no release required. Plus terminal selection with merge, a status-bar worktree picker, and a real markdown/terminal split.

Backup agents take over when one dies mid-run

Backup agents take over when one dies mid-run

Give any seat on an agent team an ordered list of backups. When the agent in it crashes or runs out of quota, the next one opens in its place with the conversation so far — and the run keeps going without you.

Every Chart in One Library — and a Backup When a Run Fails

Every Chart in One Library — and a Backup When a Run Fails

Charts puts every org chart and pipeline in one library under Set up, and Defaults now carries fallback chains — an ordered list of backups that takes over when a run hits a rate limit instead of ending it.

Answer Your Agent Without Leaving the Chat

Answer Your Agent Without Leaving the Chat

When a running agent asks a multiple-choice question, Conversation now shows it as an interactive card above the composer — pick an option, check several, or type your own, without switching back to the terminal.

A Separate Login for Every Browser Tab

Aug 21, 2026

A Separate Login for Every Browser Tab

Give every browser tab its own login — separate cookies, storage, and history — so you can be signed into the same site as two accounts at once, and an AI agent driving a tab works as the account you picked.

Read your AI agent as a chat, not a wall of terminal output

Read your AI agent as a chat, not a wall of terminal output

Flip any running agent between the raw terminal and a clean chat transcript — You bubbles, markdown replies, and collapsed tool rows — without starting a second session.

See every terminal on your machine — and continue the work here

Aug 17, 2026

See every terminal on your machine — and continue the work here

1DevTool now lists the terminals it didn't start — Ghostty, iTerm, WezTerm, tmux panes — with the agent running inside each one. One click adopts that session into a real 1DevTool tab and resumes the conversation.
