Changelog

Notable changes to Chronicle. Full history and downloads: https://github.com/chizhangucb/chronicle/releases

v0.1.10 — 2026-07-12

A sharper session metric, delivered via auto-update:

• "Agent Active" (renamed from "Active Duration") now measures agent working time correctly. It still excludes the pause before each of your prompts, but no longer counts background-task completions, in-app clicks, or interrupt markers as "you thinking" — those all carry a user role in the logs, so a background build finishing was being charged to your idle time. On a real session this moved the number from 33m to 43m of a 59m span. The ⓘ tooltip explains the distinction.

v0.1.9 — 2026-07-12

Home-page and session-metric improvements, delivered via auto-update:

• Multi-select project delete — a new Select mode on the home page turns project cards into checkboxes, so you can remove several projects from Chronicle at once (Select-all / Clear + an inline confirm). Your source logs and folders are never touched.
• Always-on toolbar — Search (⌘K) and + Import Sessions are now available from every view, not just the home page.
• Truer Active Duration — now counts all assistant-thinking and tool-execution time in full and excludes only the pause before each of your prompts (your reading/typing/ away time). The old version dropped any gap over 5 minutes, undercounting long builds and deep thinks.
• Cache-write cost split by TTL — the Cost & Usage panel breaks cache-write tokens and dollars into 5-minute and 1-hour tiers, matching how each is billed.
• Readable tooltips — the ⓘ info bubbles open downward and are wider, so the full explanation is always visible.

v0.1.8 — 2026-07-09

Download site + developer docs. No app changes — the desktop app is unchanged from v0.1.7, so there's no update to install (like the v0.1.4 docs release).

• getchronicle.dev — a clean download page that auto-detects your OS and offers one signed-&-notarized download, replacing the raw GitHub Releases list. It reads the latest release live, so new versions (and future Windows/Linux builds) appear automatically. Light + dark, mobile-responsive, with a real in-app Playback screenshot. Built as a new website/ deployable on Vercel.
• Developer documentation — a layered docs/ set (guide, architecture, reference) covering install, time-travel, MCP/Skills, parsers, packaging, security, and more.

v0.1.7 — 2026-07-09

Session UX polish, delivered via auto-update:

• ⇧⌘U — sync a single session from the keyboard.
• Active Duration — the session Overview now shows real working time (idle gaps over 5 minutes excluded) next to wall-clock duration, with an ⓘ explainer.
• Refine → delete by type — keep or drop whole message kinds (User / Assistant / Tool Call / …) in one click.
• Consistent chat labels — Playback and Refine now use the same wording.
• Replay — tidier sandbox toolbar.
• Feedback — optional sender email, set as Reply-To so replies reach you.
• Fix — switching language no longer jumps back to the home page.

v0.1.6 — 2026-07-09

First signed & notarized release.

• One-click auto-update — an in-app "Relaunch to apply" toast installs updates and cleanly relaunches (electron-updater on a notarized Developer ID build).
• Feedback moved to getchronicle.dev.
• No more macOS quarantine. (0.1.5 was unsigned — upgrade to 0.1.6 once manually, then every update is automatic.)

v0.1.5 — 2026-07-08

Cost & usage, global search, session titles, Japanese.

• Cost & Usage panel — local per-model token totals + dollar breakdown (no network).
• Global search palette (⌘K) across all session content, with scopes and filters.
• Skill and MCP distribution donuts on the session overview.
• Reads Claude Code /rename titles; inline rename; per-session Sync Update.
• Japanese (日本語) UI; project switcher dropdown; "Today" time filter.

v0.1.4 — 2026-07-08

Documentation release — contributor docs (CLAUDE.md) captured the architecture, release checklist, and gotchas. No functional changes since 0.1.3.

v0.1.3 — 2026-07-07

Moved-repo fix + sync-all.

• Latest-cwd-wins so a moved project stops resurfacing under its old dead path.
• Sidebar sync-all button — re-import every project in one click.
• npm run reinstall:mac developer helper.

v0.1.2 — 2026-07-07

Sidebar navigation + project analytics.

• Collapsible global sidebar (Projects, session modes, MCP Hub / Skills / Security / Feedback).
• Project home: 8 stat cards, activity trend (line/bar), tool distribution, call ranking, time-range filter.
• Breadcrumbs, session switcher, copyable session ID.

v0.1.1 — 2026-07-07

First installable release + Refine polish.

• macOS DMGs (Apple Silicon + Intel) and a Homebrew cask (unsigned; --no-quarantine).
• Refine: Keep All / Delete All, sensible pre-deleted noise, a single clear savings bar.
• MIT license, README overhaul, PRD decision log.
