Renames stick. Automatic titles only fill in New chat, New markdown, Untitled, or a blank name. Regenerate title is what replaces a name you already set.

You can export a workspace's notes as a folder of markdown, and import that folder back as new notes. Export is a snapshot in a new subfolder. Import creates new notes, so the same folder twice means duplicates.

Browse, rename, and move cover chats, notes, and terminals. Starting a reply in another chat asks you first. It will not start one in the chat you are already in.

Hanoki 0.0.33 is out. New tools let the assistant create chats and notes, file them, and leave a draft in another chat.

Also sitting on Electron 44 and a newer AI SDK. Quiet release. Plumbing, not a new toy.

Hanoki 0.0.31 is out. Switching chats should be more reliable. The chat object now lives in the store instead of being created during render.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

And a chat crash fix: one bad message (empty list items) no longer takes down the whole conversation.

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Settings also got a real models catalog. Sort by release date, name, context, or price, with creator, pricing, and capabilities from the provider.

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The effort sticks to the chat. Switch to a model that doesn't reason and the control disappears instead of sending a bogus setting.

Hanoki 0.0.30 is out. You can now set thinking effort per chat. Off through Max, and only for models that actually support it.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Notes live in the sidebar like everything else. Preview, rich text, or raw markdown. They autosave, and Sumi can name them from what's in the note.

Hanoki 0.0.29 is out. You can keep markdown notes next to chats and terminals now.

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Continuing a cut-off message also merges more cleanly (no duplicated chunks), and those provider errors get clearer copy in the chat UI.

000

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Switching models mid-chat is less brittle now. We strip sealed reasoning from finished turns so you don’t hit “encrypted payload” errors when you continue or branch with a different model.

Hanoki 0.0.27: Codex (ChatGPT) is supported via the Codex CLI.

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Smaller chrome polish: Activity panel hide control moved next to the title so you stop accidentally clicking it. Working chats use the same Conway glyph as tabs and the tree. New tab page is quieter, bigger mark, less copy.

000

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Sidebar tree menus got the same treatment. Icons on every action, and open-in-split lives in its own submenu (left / right / above / below) instead of dumping five nearly identical items on you.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Message context menu is the main focus this build. With no selection, Copy becomes "Copy as Text" and dumps the full message. Assistants get regenerate. Pin, edit, and delete sit next to show-in-graph so you stop hunting through the toolbar for basic stuff.

Hanoki 0.0.26 is out. Biggest change: right-click on a message actually does useful stuff now. Edit, regenerate, pin, delete, and copy the whole message without selecting text first.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Also: branch history across reloads, tab title slides for the streaming indicator, and sparse provider usage metadata no longer fails to parse.

000

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

New Terminal tool: runs in your real shell against the real filesystem, with file read/write helpers, sticky cwd per chat, and clean process teardown on timeout/abort. Modes: ask (default) or always. Chat still opts in via tools menu or @Terminal.

Hanoki 0.0.25 Real terminal access for the agent — login shell, real filesystem, per-call approval. Plus: branch history that survives reloads, smoother streaming tabs, and better usage metadata handling.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Hanoki 0.0.24 is out. Tab strip no longer shoves chrome off-screen — tabs shrink evenly, then scroll. Streaming floats over the title without resizing, and activity is a single status icon + unread badge. github.com/50BytesOfJoh...

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Hanoki 0.0.23 is out. Auto-updates on macOS: when a new version is ready, you get a title-bar button and toast — install and restart when you want. Manual check lives in Settings → About and the app menu.

000

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Hanoki's split view, dnd and tabs experience is just amazing. I'm really proud of it. God, it's really good.

000

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Under the hood: inactive chat tabs stay out of the way, and AI providers load lazily so cold starts cost less. Smaller feel, same power. Update when you’re ready.

000

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

The sidebar finally sorts the way you work. Per workspace: name, last updated, or date created — either direction. Folders first, last, or mixed with chats. Set it from the sidebar menu or workspace settings.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Dragging into a split used to be floating hit boxes. Now you get a live preview of where the chat lands — left, right, top, bottom, or replace. Folders get “not here.” Already open? We say so. Aim once. See the result before you let go.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Empty tabs used to say “Open a chat from the sidebar.” Now you land on a proper new tab page: recent chats, New chat, Search (⌘K), and a drop target if you drag from the sidebar. Pick up where you left off — without hunting the tree first.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Hanoki 0.0.20 is out — a UX-focused release. Opening a chat, arranging panes, and finding old work should feel obvious. This one tightens all three.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Smaller fixes rode along under the hood. Full notes on GitHub.

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Editing, hotkeys, and scroll restore stay out of the streaming hot path, and pane shortcuts only fire in the focused pane.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Message list no longer re-renders on every streamed chunk — only the parts that actually change.

100

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Hanoki 0.0.19 is out — streaming chat should feel snappier. Less work per token while the model is writing, especially with split panes open. hanoki.app

New in Hanoki - Vertical and Horizontal tabs! Pick the one you like via settings. Either a classic top bar tabs, or sidebar tabs for people who love it. Everything works nicely with most common shortcuts for navigation! And it looks beautiful! 🖤

50BytesOfJohn @50bytesofjohn.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Oh Yeah. Can't believe I ended up with this design after so many iterations and styles. Now it's more a piece of art than website and web app. I know that there are some things to improve, it's still WIP, but it's pretty cool WIP.

I got pranked by Claude again. Thinking nothing could go wrong, Claude duplicated 300 lines of code instead of making a small 5-line change with the same effect. 🙃
