roadmap

What shipped, what's in it, and what's coming.

This page is kept honest on purpose. Anything listed as shipped is in the app you can download today. Anything listed as next is genuinely unfinished, and says so.

changelog

What shipped, and when

0.1.1 · august 2026

A fix for a crash at launch

On some Macs 0.1.0 quit before it drew anything, so it looked as though it had never opened at all: no character, no menu bar icon, nothing.

Rounded corners were being asked for on panels that had not been given a size yet, and the drawing system ends the app rather than complaining. Every surface that draws one now goes through a single rule that keeps corners inside the shape they belong to.

Nothing else changed.

0.1.0 · august 2026

The first release

A small character lives in the corner of your screen and knows what your agents are doing.

  • It knows. Claude Code and Codex, whether they are working, waiting on you, or done. Claude Code installs a set of hooks in one click; Codex needs no setup at all.
  • It celebrates. A merged pull request, a green deploy on Vercel or Netlify, a long run that finally finished. Each one is a moment you can export as a GIF and post.
  • It stays out of the way. Quiet by default, never a window in front of your work, and an hour off is always one click away.
  • A toolbox you drag wherever you like, that says what is running without being opened, and holds a focus block timer.

shipped

In the app today

Claude Code, connected in one click

Ten hook events installed into your own settings file, backed up first, and removed just as cleanly when you disconnect.

Codex, with no configuration at all

Shiplings reads the session files Codex already writes, so the CLI, the ChatGPT app and Cursor all behave the same way and nothing of yours is touched.

GitHub, Vercel and Netlify

Merged pull requests, pushes, a first star, and deploys going green or red. GitHub connects in one click; Vercel and Netlify take a read only token you paste.

Seven states and three levels of solicitation

Posture, a call, and a celebration that is rate limited on purpose.

The toolbox

A pill you drag wherever you want it, that says what is running without being opened, and holds a focus block timer.

Celebration GIFs and a gallery

Free on every tier, because it is how people find out this exists.

WorkSessions, first pass

Name a stretch of work, drop the projects it covers into it, and it folds up the tokens by project and by model, the agent run time, and the days that actually saw work.

Projects

Two folders that are one piece of work get one name, so a recap reads as a story instead of arithmetic.

Wellbeing, all of it optional

Eyes, movement, focus blocks and quiet hours. Off until you turn them on, and off again the moment you have had enough.

Two characters, both free

Shippy and Roboty ship inside the app and neither one is behind the paywall.

Automatic updates and open at login

Signed updates, offered during onboarding rather than assumed.

next

Being built now

Unfinished, and listed here rather than implied by silence.

The card that closing a session produces

The recap that arrives when you finish a stretch of work, made to be posted. Worth doing well rather than early.

Commits and deploys counted inside a session

The connectors already see all three. What is left is asking GitHub for everything since a date rather than the last handful.

The first batch of commissioned character art

The characters in the app today prove the pipeline and the animation contract. They are not the finish a paid tier deserves.

Netlify against a live account

The connector is written and the only one never exercised against the real API. The single real connector bug found so far came from exactly that kind of gap.

later

Being considered

Wanted, not promised. Nothing here has a date.

·

Web analytics as an event source

Plausible, Fathom or GA4, and only ever threshold crossings and traffic records. Never the series, because that is a dashboard.

·

Stripe as an event source

A restricted read only key, a first sale, revenue tiers. The moment a solo builder most wants somebody in the room.

·

New style families and seasonal characters

·

A richer scoreboard

The one window in the product where a chart would genuinely be welcome.
