2.0.34 — November 14, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.34 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.34 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

New

A bot's reply appears as it is written, instead of a paragraph at a time.
Publish a site to Netlify: ask a bot to build a site or web app and put it online. It publishes to your own Netlify account, asks for your Netlify token once on a secure card, checks that the link answers, and updates the same link when you ask for a change. Published apps, in the menu at the bottom of the sidebar, lists what your bots put online, with a preview and Delete. Netlify's account, limits and bill are yours.
Team Clouds: a bot you make starts private until you share it; share a private conversation with the team or with one teammate; Save to team memory on a message, with Undo.
OMP (Oh My Pi) as an engine, and Fish Audio Live 3 for live calls in English.
Drag group chats into the order you want.
Stop and send: a queued message can stop the running turn, and the work it handed to other bots, and go now.
Ask a bot to change a setting: "switch to dark mode", "rename this bot", "use a wider chat". It changes the setting at once and shows a card with Undo. A bot never sees or sets a key or a password, and for what only you should change (your account, the Vault, backups, pairing a phone, removing an AI engine) it tells you where in Settings to do it.
Mark all as read in the inbox. It never answers or closes a request that is waiting for you.
Usage: every model has a colour from its provider's family, and each bar shows the models it ran.
A project's own skills: when a bot works in a folder that ships skills in agents/skills, .agents/skills or .claude/skills, its Skills page lists them under In this project and the bot uses them.
A proxy for the built-in browser: a SOCKS5 proxy for public websites, in Settings → Bot desktops (for the owner; no sign-in on the proxy yet).
Make the default bot a regular bot from its menu in the sidebar; it can then be archived or deleted.
Work a bot hands to another bot for your request can check back once ("tell me when the build finishes").

Changed

A cloud computer that stops responding is restarted or replaced by itself, and no longer holds one of your plan's computers. When one can't start, the message gives the real reason.
When you tell a bot, in the chat or in its instructions, to check with you first, it does, even with Just do it on: it asks everything in one message, then waits.
When an MCP server for Gmail or Google Calendar wants a sign-in the bot does not have, the bot is pointed to the connected app and its connect card instead.
A pairing link says when it works only on the same Wi-Fi, and the pairing code says to scan it from inside the Brainwrite app, not the camera.
Take turns on calls can hear you through ElevenLabs as well as Fish Audio, and a call keeps listening through a short pause.
Usage bars read the plan usage of every Claude account you added again.
More keys and tokens are hidden when they appear in a chat or a log.
The Chief of Staff's refusals name the department and the setting that unlocks it.
A chat the AI provider cut off before it wrote anything is sent again once, instead of failing.
A conversation whose saved Cursor session is gone starts a fresh one instead of failing every time; bots on Cursor get the team tools.
A routine's report carries the files of that run. A turn waiting for you to hand back the shared private desktop waits once, not again and again.
Large numbers and long decimals reach connected apps unchanged.
Many fixes to MCP servers, connected apps, memory, files, charts, routines, group chats and typing in Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

2.0.33 — November 13, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.33 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.33 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

Fixed

A bot joins your Google Meet again. Google was turning the bot away the moment it pressed Join, before anyone could admit it, on calls that were open to everyone. The bot now works the pre-join screen the way the page expects, so its request reaches you.
A refused meeting says what actually happened. When Google does turn the bot away, the message no longer sends you to host settings you cannot change; it tells you to try again and how to report it if it keeps happening.

Full 2.0.33 release notes

2.0.32 — November 12, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.32 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.32 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

New

Automations and Team map are one click away: in Advanced mode they sit beside Apps, next to your email at the bottom of the sidebar, instead of in its menu. Automations keeps its red dot when a run needs you.

Changed

Pinned web pages open inside the Mac app. A page you pin to the sidebar, your bot's published pages included, no longer shows "This page can't be shown inside the app".
A bot on My Cloud asks to join Google Meet again. Meet now shows a guest Continue as guest first; the bot presses it, so its request to join reaches the host.
Meeting notes on My Cloud use your plan's voice allowance: 1,500 characters for each 10 minutes of a meeting. When the allowance runs out, the bot carries on and transcribes on its cloud computer instead, which is slower to start (about a minute the first time), rather than leaving the meeting.

Full 2.0.32 release notes

2.0.31 — November 12, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.31 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.31 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

New

Burst mode: type /burst and a job, and a bot splits it into parts, runs them at once in threads of its own, and writes one result. You see the plan first and choose Run.
The Vault: Settings → Vault is one page for your saved logins, your secrets and a linked 1Password. Paste a .env file to save many secrets at once; an MCP server's key follows the secret when you change it; when a bot asks for a secret or a sign-in, its card offers the ones you saved.
Team Clouds: your unread marks, notifications and bot order are your own; a Just me / Team switch; a welcome for new members; members stay signed in on their browser and phone while they use them; admins see how each connected app and MCP server is doing.
Ollama shows as Ollama, is found by itself, and shows each model's size and whether it can use tools. Models that can think get a thinking control, and so do OpenAI and OpenRouter models.
Amazon Bedrock as a Claude engine.
Start fresh gives a chat a new session: every message stays, and the bot reads nothing above the line.
A second opinion: a bot can open a thread of its own on another model, from another provider too, and carry on with the result.
Pin a bot's page to the sidebar.
Choose who can open a page your bot publishes: anyone with the link, anyone with a password, or only people you invite by email (they get a one-time code). A new page opens for nobody until you choose on its card, and you can ask your bot later to password-protect a page or invite someone. On every plan.
Advanced mode is back in Settings → General.
Hindi.
Aurora, a new theme: a close-up of a peacock feather in the dark, with glass on top.

Changed

On the Starter plan, My Cloud keeps as many bots as you like, five of them awake. A bot made past five starts paused and never pushes out one you use; swap which five stay awake, or upgrade.
At Full access with "Send without asking", a bot's code runs don't count toward its daily sends.
A limit hold ends as soon as your usage shows room, and Try again now retries at once.
A private desktop's memory and CPU can be set, and a bot can install system packages in it.
My Cloud waits for your lent computers after it wakes, and the bots you choose move to it, even from a big workspace.
An MCP server that needs a sign-in says so, and Test no longer passes when every call is refused.
Settings and the pairing QR code cover the whole window, and the rail takes a click at once.
When a bot asks for a secret from the Vault, its chat shows it waiting on you and you're told, never that it finished; if it asks again, the work it handed on waits for the newer card.
Many fixes to the browser, routines, downloads and queued messages.

Full 2.0.31 release notes

2.0.30 — November 9, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.30 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.30 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

New

What waits on you is always in sight: a conversation where a bot waits for you (a password, a sign-in, an app) stays listed under its bot with "Needs you" and what it needs. An automation's run that waits for you no longer runs out of time or gets replaced by the next run.
A room that waits on you says so: instead of "The team is working" and Stop, the room shows "Waiting on you" with each request, Go to it and End.
Choose how many sends a day a bot makes without asking: Settings → Approvals sets it for bots at Full access (25 by default, 0 to always ask, up to 1,500), and a bot can have its own number in its Permissions. Past that number, each send asks you first.
Send to Brainwrite support: when support asks for a report on your Cloud, send the conversation, your Cloud's diagnostics and its work records in one go, each ticked and viewable before it goes.
Meeting notes: a bot joins a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Jitsi call as a guest on its cloud computer and writes the notes.
More workspaces on this computer from the ＋ in the rail, and Brainwrite reopens the last place you used.
New engines: Kiro and Command Code. Claude and Codex bots can also connect with an API key.
Watch a bot while it works on its screen.

Changed

The mascots show what each bot is really doing: receiving, thinking, each step, finished, then idle; writing while the reply comes in; listening while you dictate; waking with My Cloud; asleep after ten minutes idle; circling while two or more teammates work for it. A stopped turn looks surprised for a moment, then rests.
In a room, a reply that starts with "@Name" hands that teammate the work. A name later in the reply is only mentioned.
On the Starter plan, My Cloud runs up to 5 bots and 2 tasks at once, one conversation at a time per bot.
HighLevel is no longer offered.
A Claude turn is never sent again once its model has answered, so the same work isn't charged to your plan twice.
My Cloud no longer freezes when many turns wait for memory.
A paired phone with a long history gets its bot list again.
Settings → Diagnostics on My Cloud says where its logs are, and the Tools card's examples link opens the docs.

Full 2.0.30 release notes

2.0.29 — November 6, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.29 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.29 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

New

Bots on My Cloud share their files, as they do on This computer: one bot can open and work on what another made, and the files people attach in a room reach every bot in it.
Change your plan from the app: pick a bigger plan on the plan cards, see what it costs, and confirm. It's charged to the card on file.
Say goodbye to end a Live call.
The Inbox on every place, at the top right of the window just before the bell: what your bots wait on, what they sent you and routine reports, with no team needed.
Email on any mail host: bots read and send mail over IMAP and SMTP, not only Gmail and Outlook.
Images in chat: a bot makes images on your own keys, with a main and a backup provider.
Each bot can be an API, off until you turn it on: a key shown once, and your own site or tools send it messages and get its replies.
Custom endpoints for Claude bots in Settings → Engines: run them on DeepSeek, GLM or another host that speaks Claude Code's API.
A voice note with every reply, if you turn it on.
Bots turn their own skills on or off, or delete them, after you approve; a skill from GitHub brings its whole folder.
Lift the lock on your lent Mac from the chat, and switch accounts from the menu under your email.
Quote chat text you've selected in your reply, show an attachment in Finder, and a Full HD size for browser pages.

Changed

The mascots in the sidebar are no longer cut off and stay calm there.
Every wait says why: a turn waiting for memory says what is running and what is ahead of it, and a hand-off held for a while says what it waits for.
With Full access, a bot asks before its 26th send of a day, unless it has a sending rule of its own.
The secure phone address pauses after 30 days with no phone seen, and comes back at the same name when you open Settings → Phones.

Full 2.0.29 release notes

2.0.28 — November 5, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.28 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

On Brainwrite 2.0.27 or older? Download 2.0.28 once from https://download.brainwrite.app/mac (Apple silicon) or https://download.brainwrite.app/mac/intel and drag it into Applications over your copy. Your chats, bots and settings stay as they are, and Brainwrite updates itself again from then on.

New

The update is back at the bottom left: a small popup shows the download's progress, the size and about how long is left, then Restart. A live mascot works while it downloads and is pleased when it's ready. What's new opens the update card with the version you have and the main new things.
Same Files and pinned panels everywhere: with the setting in Settings → General (on to start with), your own My Cloud shows this computer's Files too, and This computer and My Cloud share one list of pinned panels. Turn it off and each keeps its own.
One bot works on several threads at once.
Live calls on Azure OpenAI, and Gemini speech.
Skills by their /name in your own words, and up to 10 images in a message.
"Partly done": a turn where a step didn't work says so, with its details.
The bot's Library in Advanced mode's bot panel.
Teams: plain words ("Looked after by"), the sharing dialog, Shared chat and the User role. A line a bot reads that isn't yours says who it's from.
Move from Grok Bot, rebuilt: bring your bots, their skills, routines and memories over.
More MCP servers sign in from the app, the attachments store is in Settings, and you can hide a provider you don't use.

Changed

Updates come from updates.brainwrite.app and downloads from download.brainwrite.app.
Advanced mode's Automations, Team map, Files and pinned panels are in the menu under your email, as in Simple mode.
One Sign out in the email menu, under "Signed in as", for Brainwrite Cloud and the app.
The opening screen says what's happening as your bots' workspace starts.
A new Apps icon.
A 1-day trial reads "1 day", with no tax line in any language. Hindi is complete.

Full 2.0.28 release notes

2.0.27 — November 3, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.27 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

One live mascot per bot: the sidebar, the chat's header and the bot panel show the same mascot doing the same thing at the same moment, with smoother clips for thinking, reading, writing and waiting on you.
The bot's mascot in the bot panel, large at the top. Click it to change its body, colour or picture.
Brainwrite in the window frame: the logo and name sit before the place you're in (This computer, My Cloud or a server).
The bell in the window frame: Notifications and the Inbox open from the frame's top right, where the gear was. Settings stays in the sidebar.
A paused Cloud: when a Brainwrite Cloud is paused, the app says so plainly and offers nothing that can't work until it's started again. You get an email when it's paused and when it's back.
Steer, queue or restart a message sent while a bot is still working.
Bots manage their own MCP servers from chat: add, change, sign in to and remove one, each step with your approval. A bot with many servers reaches them through one directory.
Team Clouds: a sharing dialog for each bot, Bot access in Settings, team rules set by your organisation, and a Chief who can answer a teammate's question for you.
Usage: your AI accounts' limits, a Claude plan's monthly spend, and spend by department.
Local models are usable: a short tool list, tool calls read from text, no endless loops, and enough context for Ollama.
Mark a whole department as read.

Changed

The final Brainwrite logo on the app icon, the install window, the sign-in screen and the emails.
New pictures: the install window, the Brainwrite Cloud dialog and onboarding's Cloud step show the bots' home on the Brainwrite cloud, in light and dark.
The rail is always there at the window's left, even with one place.
One bell: the bell tab at the window's right edge is gone; the frame's bell replaces it.
The bot panel's tabs show the open one clearly.
Bigger mascots in the Simple sidebar.
Accessories and Dress my bots up are removed. Each bot keeps its body and colour.
Faster: Brainwrite loads only your language, opens panels when you use them, and does less while bots work and while it's idle. Long chats stay smooth.
The email "Your Cloud computer is ready" now says "Your Cloud is ready".

Fixed

A page part that fails no longer leaves a blank window; it offers a reload.
The composer attaches up to four images and says which weren't attached.
Long unbroken text wraps in your message.
Enter that picks a Chinese or Japanese input candidate no longer sends.
Local sign-ins for MCP servers open instead of being cancelled.
Copilot's Auto model, Antigravity and Cursor bots start and work as they should.
A reply that is only a provider error shows as an error; a short rate limit says so.
The built-in browser works through VPNs that use fake IP addresses, and with fnm's Node.
"Done" shows once, when a job is really finished.
Fewer secrets can reach the logs (GitLab tokens, Basic credentials, Slack app tokens).

Full 2.0.27 release notes

2.0.26 — November 1, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.26 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

A new mascot: eight bodies, eyes that move with the head, and a face that follows the work: thinking, reading, writing, searching, waiting on you, or done. The choice of expression is gone; the face is always what the bot is doing.
Moods: a bot can say how it feels in a reply, and its mascot plays it. Turn it off for a bot in its settings.
Accessories: nine to choose from (glasses, bow tie, goggles, beret, bowler hat, merit cap, halo, headset, digital visor), and Dress my bots up in Appearance gives every bot without one its colour's accessory.
Seven new colours: Brainwrite orange, ink, navy, indigo, slate, forest and wine.
The window frame: a thin bar across the top says where you are, with the chat in a rounded card. Turn it off in Settings → Appearance → Window frame. Drag the sidebar narrow to see only your bots' faces.
Bot settings in three tabs (Advanced mode): Profile, Work and Control, with one search across all three.
The bot in the chat's header: its picture, name and title on the left, in Simple and Advanced mode.
What's new: after an update, a short look at Brainwrite Cloud and Teams.
Partner offers: discounts from Brainwrite's partners, with a code to copy.
A server of your own as your bots' home: move your bots to a server you run, as you can to My Cloud, and bring them back.
Share a team bot: on a Team Cloud, choose who can view, chat with or edit each bot.
Bring your bots together: when your bots live both here and on a Cloud or server, one card offers to bring them together.
@devs reports show their status: received, fixed, and the version with the fix.
One preference for every bot: tell one bot how you like things done, and every bot follows it.
Bots answer in your language, and so do Brainwrite's own lines in a chat.
Greenference as an AI provider.
Room to grow: when a Cloud runs short of memory, the bot's work gives way first and the Cloud stays up, with one plain line saying what stopped.

Changed

The new Brainwrite logo on the app icon, the install window and the sign-in screen.
One orange: bots in Orange now wear Brainwrite orange.
The Halloween skin is gone; its costumes become the bot's body with its colour's accessory.
"Where it went" in Usage shows every model, ChatGPT through Codex included, ranked by tokens.
Settings no longer has Sidebar density.

Fixed

Talk to Brainwrite from any app hears you without Input Monitoring and keeps listening when AirPods switch mode.
An update that stalls on "Starting download…" stops and can be tried again.
What's new in the update card shows each item's name.
Cards at the window's left edge are no longer hidden behind the rail, and the rail dims under a dialog.
Two teammates asking a bot the same thing get one answer.
A room turn stops when the bot makes no progress, not after a fixed time.
A still mascot always settles on a whole face.

Full 2.0.26 release notes

2.0.25 — October 30, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.25 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

More than one Cloud: buy another Cloud from the ＋ at the left edge, with its own name, colour and plan at the plan's monthly price (no trial). Up to 3 Clouds an account, once your first Cloud's plan is paid.
New organization: on a Team plan, add another organization from the same ＋, with its own Cloud, people, bots, apps and keys and nothing more to pay. Team has up to 3 organizations, Business up to 10.
Cancel plan and Keep my plan: cancel your plan or trial from Brainwrite, and change your mind before it ends. A team plan's owner can do the same for the team.
Tell me when…: ask a bot to let you know when something happens (another bot finishes, a build is done, a file appears, a page says something). No AI runs while it waits, and you can cancel a wait from the chat.
Saved steps: when you ask a bot for a computer task it has done before, it repeats the saved steps instead of asking the AI. Settings can turn this off.
Talk to Brainwrite from any app: hold the shortcut, speak, let go. Brainwrite answers in a small box at the bottom of the screen; click it to open the chat.
Secrets in one place: every secret a bot needs is kept in one store, with what each may be used for, and a bot can ask you for any secret on the secure card.
Postina, a ready-made social media manager bot.

Changed

This computer's copy: after your bots moved to My Cloud, the line beside your account says "This computer's copy", with Go to My Cloud, instead of a strip across the top.
Buttons take the bot's colour.
Plainer words in many places.
About Brainwrite: "Where AI Agents Live, Work, and Evolve."

Fixed

Bots whose engine reaches Brainwrite's tools over the network are offered Secrets too.
A second copy of Brainwrite on the same Mac gets its own phone ports, so a phone can pair with either.
When a phone's secure connection can't be verified, the app's log now says why.

Full 2.0.25 release notes

2.0.24 — October 29, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.24 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

This computer works for My Cloud by itself: while you have an active plan, your bots on My Cloud can use this computer without setting it up first. The menu bar says when they're using it, and you can pause it any time.
Your places down the left edge: with two places or more, My Cloud, a team's Cloud and your own servers show as circles down the left of the window. Click one to open it.
New plans screen: each plan shows what makes it different, with Compare plans for the full table, and Team and Business beside Starter, Pro and Max.
See what a bot is doing now: while a bot works, a short line in its chat and in the sidebar says what it is doing: running a command, reading a page, searching the web.
Team inbox: on a team's Cloud, the Chief of Staff gathers what needs you, what's for your information and what's done in one place.
GitHub Copilot as an engine for your bots.
Facial feature colour: choose white or black eyes and mouth for a bot's mascot.
API keys in one page: every key in plain sections, with one row per key.

Changed

Switching to This computer after your bots moved to My Cloud only opens it. Nothing is copied either way, and its automations start off because they run on My Cloud. A strip at the top says it's this computer's own copy and offers Go to My Cloud. Switching one of its automations on asks first, once.
Keep this computer's bots on this computer now warns clearly that it replaces this computer's bots, chats and settings with My Cloud's copy, and keeps a safety copy first.
When a plan ends or you sign out, the automations on this computer pause (routines, scheduled calls, webhooks and app events). The plans screen says how many. As soon as the payment goes through, exactly those come back on, and the app says so once.
Bringing your bots home from My Cloud: a bot set to work on a Cloud desktop is set to Auto when this computer can't use one, and the line at the top names it.
The menu bar's Server menu always shows: My Cloud, This computer, your other servers and Connect to a server…
Brainwrite Cloud is paid with Stripe only.
Simple mode is offered once, from a small popup.

Fixed

The first run's Cloud scene is back to its night sky and its slowly drifting z's.
Keep an eye on my day says what each check found in plain words ("Nothing needs you right now.", or what it added to your brief) instead of showing its raw answer.

Full 2.0.24 release notes

2.0.23 — October 28, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.23 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Report a bug from any chat: type @devs and a few words about what went wrong. Your bot adds a short summary and Brainwrite adds the app's own facts, with keys and passwords taken out; the rest of the conversation is never sent. We reply to your email. (On My Cloud, once it updates.)
Switch between My Cloud and This computer from the menu at the top left again, with Connect to a server… to reach your other servers.
A new first run: two short screens, then Brainwrite Cloud with its free trial, or Not now.
Settings in five pages: General, AI, Computer, Usage & billing, and Updates.
Open at login: Brainwrite can open when you sign in to your computer, so your bots and routines are ready.
ElevenLabs' Voice Library: with your own ElevenLabs key, search the library by name or paste a voice's link, and pick one to add it to your voices.
Russian and Italian: Brainwrite now speaks 15 languages.

Changed

Updates come with an active plan: a paid plan or a running free trial. Without one, Settings → Updates says so and offers the plans.
A downloaded update installs by itself at a quiet moment, when nothing is running and you're away, and the app says so once it's back.
Brainwrite follows your computer's light or dark setting by default.
With the voice included with Brainwrite Cloud, the voice picker searches the included voices.

Fixed

Plain copy keeps a table's header names.
HighLevel: refreshing a connection no longer replaces a newer one, and two sign-in windows can no longer undo each other.

Full 2.0.23 release notes

2.0.22 — October 27, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.22 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Meet Brainwrite, your helper. Everyone now gets a built-in bot called Brainwrite. Ask it how to do anything in the app: it sets up bots, apps and routines with you, tells you what your bots are up to, keeps an eye on your day and sends you a short brief. Rename it, recolour it or hide it from the sidebar; it is never deleted.
One code opens both the app and Brainwrite Cloud. Signing in to the app also connects your Brainwrite Cloud on this computer, and Sign out signs out of both.
A new computer goes straight into My Cloud. On first launch with a Cloud plan, the app opens My Cloud as soon as it is ready.
Team and Business can be bought in the app: Team at $169/month for up to 5 people, Business at $599/month for 20 and $25/month for each person more. Settings → Brainwrite License shows your team, your role and how many people are on it.
Start plan now: during your free trial, start your Brainwrite Cloud plan at once from Settings. The confirm says exactly what is charged today.
Usage meter: Settings → General shows your Brainwrite Cloud allowances, including your Claude credit. Near a limit, a card in the sidebar offers Upgrade, one tap and a confirm.
Pages in the chat: a page a bot makes shows in the chat as a card, with its earlier versions, Point to pick a part to change, Share to publish it at a brainwrite.page link, and Full screen.
See what a bot is doing: while a bot works, the chat keeps its mascot and says what it is doing, such as "Writing report.md · 12 KB" or "Running a command".
A bot's conversations live in its panel, with a small round Call button by its name.
Each bot's role shows beside its name in the sidebar.
Rooms can have a one-line description, shown under the room's name.
Team Cloud: every bot reports to someone, and each person can have their own Chief of Staff. The Team map shows who reports to whom; drag a bot onto a person to change it. A member's private chat is theirs alone, admins included. Admins choose, app by app, whether the team shares one connection or each person connects their own.
Keep this computer's bots on this computer: a switch in Settings → Brainwrite Cloud (Advanced mode) keeps one computer out of the move to My Cloud.
DeepSeek Harness can run your bots.
Polish is the 13th language.

Changed

Brainwrite's services moved to brainwrite.app, and published pages to brainwrite.page. You stay signed in.
The sidebar's groups of bots are now called departments.
A voice note's words show as a collapsed transcript under the audio, instead of being repeated in the reply.
The daily brief is written in the app's language.
The / menu also lists the skills a bot's engine loads from its own folders.
Cursor bots use Fast only with a -fast model.

Fixed

Choosing the tools for one connected app no longer takes the tools away from your other apps.
Publishing a page no longer asks you to sign in when you already are.
With an OpenAI-compatible provider, a turn refused as too large is sent once more, smaller.
Answering Yes to the terminal question no longer restarts lending you had stopped.

Full 2.0.22 release notes

2.0.21 — October 24, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.21 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

My Cloud becomes your home. Once your Cloud is ready, Brainwrite moves everything on this computer to it, once, by itself: bots, chats and rooms, logins, keys, secrets, connected apps, routines, scheduled calls, webhooks and app events. It copies while you keep working, waits for a quiet moment, then switches over, so nothing runs in two places. The app then opens My Cloud as its home.
Usage: a new page shows where the time and money went: every run, the bots it brought in and each step they took, with a trace of each run.
The bot panel is reworked: the apps a bot may use, its routines (add one, or just ask the bot), and its computer.
Apps from MCP servers open right in the chat, in a locked frame that can't see the rest of the app.
Team and Business appear beside the Cloud plans, with Check on our website for the details.

Changed

Send everything to My Cloud, Copy this computer and Bring newer chats are gone: the move does it.
If your Cloud plan ends, your bots come back to your computer with what you did on My Cloud, and the app shows the plans screen. You stay signed in, and Sign out is right there.
The Cloud card reads "Brainwrite Cloud plans from $49/month.", taken from the current plans, and Compare plans opens them. Prices are in US dollars with no tax line.
Automations say when they last checked and found nothing new, and which ones only read and draft.
The Chief of Staff's brief arrives as a Brief notification.
The Secrets page on My Cloud says your computer's secrets come with the move.

Fixed

Messages at the top of the window no longer run under the window's buttons: they stay on one row, with only the words wrapping.
The Halloween skin uses Brainwrite's mascot colours.

Full 2.0.21 release notes

2.0.20 — October 22, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.20 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Brainwrite Cloud plans: choose Starter ($49), Pro ($99) or Max ($149) a month, each card showing its cloud desktops, hours, voice, decisions, research and Claude credit. Your first plan starts with a 3-day free trial (a card is needed; nothing is charged until it ends). Or choose the self-hosted organisation licence at $1,100 a year.
Live calls on every plan, with your own OpenAI key.
React to a bot's message to answer it.
Delete all threads… in a bot's menu.
Automations report into the bot's chat.
Take control right where you watch a bot's computer.
A Halloween skin: bots wear Halloween costumes while it is on.
Chief first: one assistant that adds its own specialists, and a welcome that asks for nothing up front.

Changed

Everyday screens say AI, Cloud desktop and Screen.
Moving to My Cloud carries this computer's MCP servers, sign-ins, keys and connected apps, once.
Someone who has had a free trial before is charged from the first day when they subscribe again.

Fixed

Out-of-credits refusals say so, and a working turn clears a stale limit.
Using this key for every Claude bot no longer breaks Claude (API key) bots.
Cloud asleep: Wake it now no longer falls back asleep, and replies show.
A burst of browsing bots on My Cloud waits for memory instead of being stopped.
Deleting a thread no longer pulls hidden threads into view.
The browser opens the identity check's page again when Chrome cancels it.

Full 2.0.20 release notes

2.0.19 — October 21, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.19 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Automations that start when something happens in an app: in Automations → New, choose When something happens in an app, pick a connected app and what happens in it (for example a new Gmail email), narrow it with a filter such as Subject contains, and say what the bot should do. Some apps send events as they happen; others, such as Gmail, are checked every 15 minutes.
Secrets on My Cloud: My Cloud has its own Settings → Secrets, and bots on My Cloud use secrets the same way bots on this computer do. Values are encrypted on My Cloud and never shown again.
Keep My Cloud up to date with this computer now sends this computer's secrets too, with their values, kept to the same bots. Settings → Secrets shows which are on this computer only and which are on both.
Access needed: when a bot asks for a secret that is already saved for that site but that it may not use yet, the card asks you to Allow it, with nothing to enter again.

Changed

Editing an app automation shows its app and event, and lets you choose another connected account, for example after reconnecting Gmail.

Full 2.0.19 release notes

2.0.18 — October 21, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.18 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

Important: bots change their own setup at once, with Undo

When a bot changes a profile, a working folder, a default model, a skill, its team or team memory, the change now applies at once at every approval level, and the chat shows one line saying what changed, with Undo wherever undoing means something. Brainwrite no longer adds approval cards of its own; your AI provider's own approvals still apply.

New

Today: a page in the sidebar with what your bots finished, what needs you, and an estimate of the time it saved you, for today or the last 7 days.
Automations: schedules and events another app sends live on one Automations page, with a calendar, and a bot can set one up from chat. A new kind, when your AI limit resets: a turn stopped by a usage limit offers Continue at … when your limit resets.
Files: share folders on this computer with My Cloud, so bots on My Cloud can use them even when this computer is off. They never change your files here.
This computer and My Cloud in Settings → Brainwrite Cloud: see what differs between them, Send everything to My Cloud (it adds and updates, and never deletes), keep My Cloud up to date with this computer automatically, and Bring newer chats to My Cloud.
Ready-made bots in Templates → Explore: 15 bots to add and start chatting with.
Settings → Import: bring in skills and MCP tools from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop and Gemini on this computer (tools arrive switched off), or a shared Grok Bot as a new bot.
Team map shows each bot's computer with its live screen (Show computers).
HTML preview: open an HTML file a bot sends as a page, safely (no scripts, nothing fetched), with View source.
Profile photo in Settings → Profile, shown beside your name in the sidebar.
Also use my Claude Code skills under Plugins → MCP servers: Claude bots use the skills in your ~/.claude/skills folder directly.
Pop skin. New installs open in Meadow.
Chat widgets can be answered in your own words with Other.
Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese and Hindi now cover the whole app.
With OpenRouter as the decision model, your OpenRouter API key from Settings → API keys is used without a separate key.

Changed

Simple mode has a cleaner layout: the computer switcher, search and + at the top of the sidebar, team names as thin lines, a sidebar that collapses to a rail, and only the bot in the chat header (its model, Computer and ⋯ are in the bot panel).
In one-to-one chats your messages take the bot's colour as a gradient, now on by default (Settings → Appearance → Color my messages).
Bots browse in a real Google Chrome with their own profiles (your own Chrome profile is never touched), and their sign-ins survive closing the browser.
A saved login fills across its whole site, such as accounts.example.com and www.example.com. Choose Only on this exact address for a site that shares its domain with others.
A bot can type a code sent to your connected inbox to finish a sign-in you asked for.
The live browser panel shows a page's own questions (alerts, confirmations, prompts) and answers to them, and keeps up with fast typing.
Live calls no longer need a plan on your phone: your own OpenAI key is all a call needs.
Cloud computers sleep after 10 idle minutes and wake on the next use, and stay on when a routine that uses them is due within 30 minutes.
Bots' browsers in the cloud never open Reddit.
Routines recover from passing failures by themselves, a routine that keeps failing the same way is reported once, and an unanswered question no longer stops its later runs.
Connected apps work without a key of your own; a Composio project key of your own is optional, in Settings → API keys.
Antigravity is listed as Google Gemini (Antigravity).
An added AI provider account can be removed.
In Advanced mode, a bot's model shows as a badge on its sidebar picture.
The chat and composer stay in one centred column on wide windows.
When an AI engine fails, the chat says the real cause in plain words.

Fixed

macOS dictation keeps what you said across pauses and stops when you send.
The composer stays above a table's sticky header.
When Claude Code is signed out, a turn moves to the backup engine.
Codex's model list updates after the Codex CLI is updated.
GitHub's MCP server works, and a remote MCP server's refusal names its error.
An OpenRouter key works on OpenRouter's free tier.
A passkey request in a bot's browser fails the way Chrome does, so a sign-in can pick another way.
A group chat whose folder was deleted says so.
Stripe secret keys are masked.

Full 2.0.18 release notes

2.0.17 — October 17, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.17 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Rename a secret in Settings → Secrets: the saved value moves with it. Skills and bot instructions that use the old name must be changed to the new one, or they will stop working. A name that is already taken is refused.
Edit a saved login's website and username in Settings → Logins. Changing only the username keeps the password and 2FA key. A new website needs the password again and clears the saved 2FA key.
Brainwrite License page in Settings, after Brainwrite Cloud: who you are signed in as, your license type and plan, the date it is valid until, and whether Brainwrite has confirmed it, including when you are offline and an earlier answer is used. Check again asks once more.

Full 2.0.17 release notes

2.0.16 — October 16, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.16 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

Important: bots now work at Full access by default

New bots and new threads start at Full access, and so do existing bots and threads that never had an approval level saved (they used to be read as Ask). Levels you saved yourself are unchanged. A Chief at Full access applies new teammates, deletions and setups at once, without a card.
At Full access, bots send emails, messages, posts, invites and payments through your connected apps without asking. To be asked first, choose Ask for approval for that bot or thread.

New

Chat widgets: bots can show cards, pick-one lists, forms, tables, charts, and time and day pickers right in the chat; your choice becomes your next message.
Delete many threads at once: choose Select threads under a bot's thread list, tick threads (with filters such as archived or older than a date) and delete them with one confirmation.
Reply style: set a bot to Conversational in its Soul settings for short, plain replies.
Chat width in Settings → Appearance: Standard, Wide or Full.
Add to prompt: select text in a reply and press ⌘L to quote it in your next message.
@you in group chats: a bot can mention you to get your attention, and you get a notification with the line.
Notification feed (off by default, in Settings → Appearance): one panel with your bots' recent notifications and unread counts.
Out of quota? When an engine runs out of quota or usage, a card offers other engines that can take over that conversation.
Live call recap: open a finished Live call in the chat to see what you asked, the bot's answers and its steps.
Record browser steps (in a bot's Access → Browser): numbered steps with screenshots, exportable from the conversation.
Skills with reference files: a learned skill can carry reference notes, shown in full on its approval card.
Command line for scripts: brainwritebot run, wait, events, export, team apply, connect and engine set.
OpenRouter as a decision-model provider, with your own key.
Always allow on My computer: on Brainwrite Cloud, when an engine such as Codex asks to use your lent computer, Always allow stops that bot asking in all your conversations with it, until you remove it in the bot's Access settings. Engines with their own session allowance, such as Claude, keep it for that session only.

Changed

Live calls from the desktop app are free. Calling from your phone needs Brainwrite Cloud or an organization license. Calls still use your own OpenAI API key.
Settings → AI accounts: one card per provider, one clear action per account; ChatGPT accounts can be renamed and removed, and Claude sign-in says when it worked.
A simpler bot panel, with plain rows, Memory, Skills, Routines and Vault tabs, and three plain choices for where a bot works.
Approvals take one line in the chat ("{bot} wants to …"), and the composer answers them.
Plain words for tool steps in Simple mode: "Run a command", "Read a file", "Search the web".
Archived threads stay archived when they get a reply, and a bot's unread dot ignores them.
Pinned bots in the sidebar expand to list their threads.
Groups show who is waiting: each queued member and whose turn it is.
Connected apps: an account that was signed out shows Signed out with Reconnect.
Team memory: notes survive a team rename, stale edits ask you to reload, and notes can be pinned and restored.
Team Library: a team can bundle up to 60 skills, in files up to 2 MB.
A bot's built-in browser closes after 10 minutes idle and keeps its saved sign-ins.
A browser click or key that the page is slow to take now says so, instead of asking you to restart.
The Jump to latest button is a small arrow and no longer covers the run card.

Fixed

Answering several deletion or setup cards from one turn now applies each of them, and the Chief continues once with all your answers.
Voice notes from Mac system voices and Chatterbox now appear in the chat.
A bot whose team tools fail to start says so once and reconnects on the next message.
Bots on Groq, Mistral, Cerebras and Meta no longer receive the conversation twice per turn.
Changing a bot's default model from the signed-in web app works again.
The View all buttons on the Apps page are named after their section.

Full 2.0.16 release notes

2.0.15 — October 14, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.15 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Bots ask you to sign in where they work, never for a password in chat. A Sign in needed card names the site: Open takes you to the bot's browser or computer, already in your control, and Done hands it back so the bot continues.
Saved logins. Save a login once, from the card's Save a login or Settings → Logins, and a bot signs in to that site by itself without ever seeing the password. A 2FA setup key can be saved too.
Logins from 1Password: connect a vault and bots can sign in with its logins.
See and sign out of signed-in sites for each bot's browser in Browser profiles, and use My Chrome for sites that refuse the bot's browser.
Bots can attach files to web pages in the built-in browser, such as an image for a post, following the bot's approval level.
Steer with pictures: a queued message with a picture can be steered into a running Claude reply.
Learn from group chats (off by default, in a bot's Memory settings): bots also notice facts from the group chats they are in.
Learn skills automatically (experimental, off by default): after enough tool steps, a bot reviews the conversation in the background and may create or improve its own skills.
Meta Muse models, including Muse Wonder, as a new engine.
Keep idle threads' prompt cache warm (off by default) for Claude bots signed in with a subscription.
Always allow a read-only tool from your own MCP servers once, and it stays allowed in later tasks.
Pause one bot in a group by writing stop @Bot, or with the Stop button, which names the bot, under the bot that is working.

Changed

Copying part of a reply pastes as normal text in Mail and other apps, without the app's dark background or colors.
In a group, each bot's notes while working fold into a Worked for… row above its reply.
When control of the built-in browser returns to a bot, the panel says Control is back with the bot's name.
Restarting a bot's browser keeps its saved sign-ins, and the bot is told so.

Fixed

The Data tab works on Brainwrite Cloud. It no longer fails with "DuckDB did not load".
Saved browser profiles keep their sign-ins even when Brainwrite quits unexpectedly a few seconds after you sign in.
A click or key in the browser panel that never reached the page no longer asks you to restart the browser, and what you typed is kept when the bot's action never reached the page.
Codex bots have their built-in browser again, and run memory upkeep and skill reviews.
A queued message is never sent twice after a crash.
An approval level set for a whole team reaches every thread, and a team model change keeps each thread's own model.

Full 2.0.15 release notes

2.0.14 — October 13, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.14 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Color my messages. In a one-to-one chat, your messages can take a deeper shade of the bot's color, and each bot's name above its replies uses its color. Turn it on in Settings → Appearance.
A Data tab in the Computer panel. A bot loads files, links or databases into tables, runs SQL, and builds tables and charts you can page through, filter, export and query yourself.
Routines can also run when Brainwrite starts, for a computer that is often off when a routine is due. Turn on Also run when Brainwrite starts in a repeating routine's Advanced options; its runs show as On startup.
New chat at the top of the + menu starts a chat with any bot.
Run a bot's skills from the / menu, and write your own with Write a command in a bot's Skills settings.
Choose your send key: Enter, Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Enter, in Settings → Appearance.
Links that open a chat. A chat's Copy link now opens that exact chat from a browser or another app.
A link for each thread. The newest GitHub pull request or issue in a reply shows on the thread's row; right-click any link in a reply to assign it yourself.
GitHub links show as compact pills, and every web link in a reply shows a preview when you hover over it.
A "new" divider marks where unread messages start, and Mark all conversations as read is in a bot's menu.
Brainwrite reopens the conversation you had open last time.
Environments on this computer: separate setups, each with its own bots, conversations and data folder, in Settings → Computers → Servers.
New thread in a working folder… (Advanced mode) starts a conversation in a folder you choose.
My Cloud starts by asking what it should do while you're away, then sets itself up from your answer. You can skip it.
Add a Cloud… in the server menu shows the Brainwrite Cloud plan. If you already have My Cloud, you can ask for an email when you can add another.
Live calls leave a record: one row in the chat per call, with its length, the steps the bot took and the permission requests it raised. The voice's own words are not saved.
More engines and models: Cline, Groq (Settings → API keys) and Claude Haiku 5.5.
The phone web app can be added to your home screen.
Japanese is complete, and typing with an input method, as in Japanese, no longer sends a half-written message.
Bots know the current time on every message.
A bot can ask a question with several answers to tick, and can deliver a file it saved outside the chat's folders.
Your chief of staff can suggest adding a missing specialist, through the team setup card.

Changed

Live calls need an active Brainwrite Cloud plan. Without one, the Live button explains this instead of starting a call.
Full access turns on at once, with no confirmation, and stays on when a bot changes engine. Custom still returns to Ask.
One compact card for questions, key requests and sign-ins. A single choice sends with one tap, or press its letter.
Quieter message actions: reply, copy and … appear when you point at a message; … holds read aloud, raw markdown, regenerate and pin.
Work your bots hand to each other now survives a restart, a question waiting on you is shown once, and an approval nobody answered is reported as not done.
A bot your chief of staff creates goes through the team setup card unless the chief has Full access.
Files a reply delivers show as compact pills under its text.
Compact bot rows with a plain-text preview, one account menu at every sidebar width, an update button beside your account while an update downloads, and a Tools header that folds Routines, Triggers and the team map.
Apps open as a catalog you can browse by category.
Scrolling up loads earlier messages by itself.
The working label changes with what the bot is doing.
Errors read as one plain line, with the details underneath, and a cancelled reply shows as a quiet stop with Retry.
Files shows the conversation's own working folder, and files a reply shared can be saved from recent changes.
Text renders like the rest of macOS, accent colors are richer on wide-color displays, every clickable control shows a pointer, and the window drags from every view's top bar.
A bot's profile opens to the section you last viewed.

Fixed

With threads hidden, every reply lands in your chat, and a side thread you open shows Back to your chat.
A room can work in several threads at once.
A Claude bot past its usage limit says which limit and when it resets, and recovers by itself when its session is lost. Update Claude for me now updates the copy Brainwrite installed.
Screenshots a bot takes on its computer no longer pile up on its final reply.
Bots using this computer, a local VM or a VPS no longer stop at random while waiting for the computer, and an unreachable VPS no longer fails a chat.
The built-in browser no longer locks after a page that won't open or a slow action, closes when Brainwrite quits, and shows its preview faster.
Codex bots no longer ask you to approve Brainwrite's own coordination tools.
Signing in to an MCP server such as Google Sheets works, and signed-in servers refresh their access together before a reply.
A missing working folder is named as missing, instead of the engine being called not installed.
A provider's own error is shown, for example when Grok runs out of credits.
A routine whose schedule can't be read, or a routines or webhooks file that can't be read, is never overwritten.
Memory capture waits across a restart, and engines such as Cursor and Antigravity capture memory too.
Your personal Claude instructions file (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) stays out of bots' context.
Cursor no longer opens repeated browser sign-ins when it has a key, and its effort models run as chosen.
A connected app's missing-permission note appears only on calls that failed.
Setting up a new bot picks a connected model by itself.
A link outside the chat's working folder says why it can't be saved, and a picture a bot delivered shows in its reply.
Long code blocks and messages with math load faster.

Full 2.0.14 release notes

2.0.13 — October 10, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.13 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Your own computer takes over on Brainwrite Cloud. When a chat's cloud computer can't start because your plan's hours are used up or both cloud computers are in use, the bot carries on on your own computer, if you lend it to your Cloud with Apps and screen on, and tells you first. Rooms and routines still stop and say why.

Changed

Copying this computer to your Cloud: a copy too large for your Cloud's disk now asks you to tell us so we can help, instead of pointing to a larger plan.
When My Cloud can't be set up, it now says Brainwrite has been alerted and will try again.

Full 2.0.13 release notes

2.0.12 — October 9, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.12 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

More than one Google account for Antigravity. Add another account inside the Antigravity card; each has its own profile, bots choose it in the model picker, and the card shows the signed-in email.
Add Claude and ChatGPT accounts inside their own cards in Settings → Engines.
Mentions show who they reach: each bot shows its title, and @everyone shows how many bots it reaches.

Changed

Faster start: after the first run, Brainwrite opens before the engines' model lists finish refreshing.
The provider icon picker is removed.

Fixed

Apps with strict servers work in chat (for example Voluum): with Codex and the other engines except Claude Code, tools that passed Test no longer answer "Tool not found".
Errors in chats and rooms show in a banner you can dismiss.
Room messages have the same actions as chat messages, and a message that fails to display no longer blanks the window.
The message … button opens and closes with one click.
Switching to another thread of the same bot follows the newest messages again.
Right-to-left text, such as Arabic, reads correctly in edits, find, citations and pinned lines, and Arabic thread titles keep their beginning in the sidebar.
A question you didn't answer no longer throws away the bot's finished reply.
Deleting a bot also deletes its memory history and search index.
Skills imported from GitHub download only over https from raw.githubusercontent.com.
The command allowlist closes with Escape.
The Traditional Chinese translation is complete.
Security updates to bundled libraries.

Full 2.0.12 release notes

2.0.11 — October 8, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.11 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Apps with very large tool lists connect, such as Whop with 425 tools, and bots on engines without tool search can search those tools.
A link to a folder in chat lists the files in it (up to 200) instead of failing.

Changed

Faster start: Brainwrite sets up all your engines at the same time.
Signing out of ChatGPT in Codex also removes an API key Codex stored with that sign-in.
Updated to Electron 43.5.

Fixed

App sign-ins finish on My Cloud and hosted servers. Signing in to Whop, or any app that signs in through your browser, no longer ends on a page that can't load.
Whop's card says why its tools didn't load, and shows "Loading Whop's tools…" while they load. Apps on the internet get 30 seconds to list their tools.
An expired ChatGPT sign-in in Codex says so once and offers sign-in, instead of a loop of "Reconnecting… 1/5" errors.
Codex 0.160: bots with a tool selection no longer refuse every message with "Codex could not confirm its shell environment exclusions".

Full 2.0.11 release notes

2.0.10 — October 8, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.10 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Tables in chat. Tables in a reply show as rich tables, and CSV files open in a preview.
"Remember the last run" in the routine editor gives each run of a repeating routine the previous run's report.
Whop in Apps, with browser sign-in.
MCP calls in Settings › General: choose how long a tool call may run (1 to 60 minutes, 10 by default).
Continue threads. On OpenAI-compatible models, a reply that stops at the step limit carries on in a new "Continue:" thread on the same bot (at most 5 an hour for each bot). A provider's rate limit does not start one.

Changed

A cloud computer starts only when a bot first uses it, and where a bot works reads as one line with one next step.
Every turn runs on the bot's own engine. On My Cloud, a turn that can't use its cloud computer is no longer moved to My computer; choose My computer for the bot yourself.
Simple mode hides Routines, Triggers and thread lists; Advanced mode shows them. Rename a bot from its settings.
Threads follow their bot's model unless you pick another model in that thread.
A bot's changes to itself (its routines, skills, profile and default model) apply directly at every approval level, with a one-line note and Undo, instead of an approval card.
Faster start: screens load when you first open them.

Fixed

An open Activity panel shows a turn's tools as soon as the turn ends.
A connected account that expired can be connected again under the same name.
A saved API key can be changed from Model providers.
A key the provider rejects no longer shows Ready.
Copy buttons work on My Cloud, and My Cloud keeps the microphone through a slow sign-in check.

Full 2.0.10 release notes

2.0.9 — October 6, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.9 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Updates download by themselves. Brainwrite restarts only when you choose, so nothing restarts in the middle of a call or a task. On My Cloud you now see "Restart to update" too.
Web search under Approve for me. Bots set to Approve for me can search the web without asking each time. Opening any other web address still asks.
A key for any OpenCode provider, saved on your computer or on My Cloud.

Changed

One name for each thing: My Cloud (your always-on Brainwrite in the cloud), Cloud computer, This computer, and Plan page (your plan and payments).
Calls on My Cloud are Live calls, which use your OpenAI key. Calls where you take turns stay on This computer, and rooms offer no call button on My Cloud.
Faster with long chats: chats and the sidebar redraw less, and long conversations stay smooth.
OpenAI-compatible models stop after 64 steps in one reply and say what to do next.

Fixed

A message sent right after Stop is no longer refused for Claude bots.
A saved Brainwrite Cloud sign-in that can no longer be read clears itself and asks you to sign in again, instead of an error at every start.
Choosing Default effort for a Codex bot takes effect in the current chat.
The startup window stays until your workspace appears.
When the microphone is blocked, Brainwrite says what blocked it and how to allow it.

Full 2.0.9 release notes

2.0.8 — October 5, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.8 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Bots can upload files with a secret. When a skill uploads files the way curl -F does, such as a changelog entry with its cover image, the bot now sends them with your saved secret. It can upload any file your account can open, from Brainwrite's folders, your Desktop, Documents, Downloads or anywhere else, up to 10 MB per request. The token is still added by Brainwrite and sent only to that secret's site.

On a Mac, if Brainwrite hasn't been allowed to open a folder such as Desktop or Documents, the bot tells you, so you can allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders.

Full 2.0.8 release notes

2.0.7 — October 5, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.7 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Secrets: tokens your bots use without seeing them. When a skill needs a token of its own, such as a changelog hub's ingest token, the bot asks for it with a secure card in the chat. Check the site it will be sent to, paste the token and choose Save securely, and the bot carries on. Brainwrite keeps the token in your computer's secure store and adds it to the bot's request itself, only for that one site, so it never appears in the chat or reaches the bot.
Settings → Secrets. See your saved secrets, where each is sent, which bots may use it and when it was last used. Add, edit or delete them; a saved value is never shown again.

Changed

Bots no longer ask you to paste a token into the chat, or say it can't be requested. If you paste one anyway, they won't use it and will ask you to replace it.

Secrets work in the desktop app for now, not yet on Brainwrite Cloud or from the phone apps.

Full 2.0.7 release notes

2.0.6 — October 4, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.6 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

A heart body for your bots. It takes the capsule's place in the picker; a bot that wore the capsule now wears the heart.
A livelier start. While Brainwrite opens, the Cloud mascot changes expression, blinks and bobs instead of showing a still icon. With Reduce Motion turned on, it stays still.

Changed

The triangle and diamond bodies have softer, rounder corners.

2.0.5 — October 4, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.5 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Copy this computer here: copy this computer's bots and chats to any server you add, not only to Brainwrite Cloud. For a server other than your Cloud, you start the copy from this computer's Settings → Servers.
Connect your phone: one entry in the profile menu, to this computer or to your Cloud.

Changed

On Brainwrite Cloud, a bot set to work on the cloud computer keeps its own model. When a place cannot be used, the bot says why and which setting changes it.
A follow-up to work a teammate is already doing continues the same thread instead of starting the work twice.
A refreshed look for the top and bottom of the sidebar and for chat headers.

Fixed

A group chat member whose turn fails now says what to do, as in a direct chat.
Memory no longer loses a note when it reaches its size limit.
Routine failures keep their detailed error.
Settings → Built-in browser no longer says the browser is off by default.

2.0.4 — October 3, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.4 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Simple mode: new installs start with the everyday controls. Turn on Advanced mode in Settings → General to see every technical control, such as usage and tokens and the Inspector. An updated app keeps Advanced mode, so nothing you already use disappears. Nothing is deleted either way.
Live calls: in a call, choose Live to talk naturally and interrupt any time while the bot still does the work. Live calls use OpenAI GPT-Live with your own OpenAI API key (OpenAI bills about $0.05 per minute).
Pinned threads from every bot, together in one section of the sidebar.
Refresh permissions on a thread applies the bot's current approval level and saved approvals to that thread.
A new skin, Meadow.
Routine runs show their date and time in the thread title.

Changed

The built-in browser is on by default. Each bot keeps its own browser switch.
In People, the Member role is now called User.
The Brainwrite Cloud card notes that customers in India pay 18% GST on top of $99 a month.

Fixed

On a Mac whose home folder has a long path, the built-in browser could not start and every bot's turn failed with "Could not safely prepare saved browser logins".
The Browser panel's full-screen button now leads back out of full screen.

Full 2.0.4 release notes

2.0.3 — October 2, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.3 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New

Triangle is a new bot body. It replaces Cursor; bots that used Cursor now show as Triangle.
Export in the Inspector downloads one file with a conversation's chat, events and raw engine messages in time order, with secrets removed. Useful when reporting a problem.
The chat header's actions are now in one menu.

Changed

The chat and the message box stay usable when the window is narrow or a side panel is open. Bot settings float over the chat when there is no room for two panels, and the sidebar folds to icons.
Every dropdown in the app has the same look.
The Capsule body's face is centred.

Fixed

The window could freeze for a moment on the Brainwrite Cloud settings page and when lending your computer.
Phone pairing shows a clear message when no address is available, instead of a general error.

2.0.2 — October 1, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.2 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

New on Brainwrite Cloud

My computer in the Computer panel. A bot on your Cloud can work on your own computer when you lend it: choose My computer, or ask the bot to use it.
The panel shows whether your computer is lent, in use, asleep or not lent, with a button that opens the lending switch.
If a bot set to Cloud can't use a cloud computer (for example, the included hours are used up) and your computer is lent, it continues on your computer and tells you first.
Allow for this conversation: approve a bot's use of your computer once for the whole conversation, instead of every step.
Calls and dictation now work on My Cloud. Your voice is recognised on your Mac; only the text goes to your bot.

Changed

The lending switch names your computer, for example "Let my Cloud use Bhavik's MacBook Pro", and your Cloud calls it by that name.

Fixed

A bot on your Cloud could read your lent computer's screen but was often refused when it tried to click or type, with "This computer is in use locally or held by a person".

Full 2.0.2 release notes

2.0.1 — October 1, 2026

Brainwrite 2.0.1 for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Windows is coming soon.

Fixed

The app now remembers your Brainwrite Cloud sign-in, and your organisation connection, after it restarts. In 2.0.0 both were lost on restart, which also hid Let my Cloud use this Mac.
Scheduled and webhook runs wait when a workspace is busy instead of failing.
A bot's browser recovers when it gets stuck, and a bot can restart its own browser.
Fixes for connecting apps that sign in through the browser (MCP OAuth), for steered turns, and for skills missing from a bot's skill list.

New

Cite part of a reply: select text in a chat and send it back with your comment.
The sidebar can be resized by dragging its edge. Sidebar density is now in Settings → Appearance.
A setting to show or hide the run card in chats.
Webhook posts land in their own thread.
Choose the Fish Audio speech model in voice settings.
API keys save when you paste them, and pasted text that isn't a key is refused.

Changed

Engines are now called "model providers" throughout the app.
