June 2026 Changelog

Realtime Voice Control (Beta)

LatchLoop now has an in-app voice control surface for navigating the app and completing common task actions by voice.
Voice can open pages, switch projects, open tasks, create tasks, open command search, switch desktop editor panes, and more
The voice session is privacy-conscious by design: it starts only when you press the voice control, disconnects when stopped or idle, and does not persist transcripts by default.

Voice Transcription for Writing

You can now dictate text into task descriptions, and any other text area in LatchLoop. No need for third-party voice to text. Talk directly into LatchLoop about what you want to build.

Desktop Web Preview and Inspector

Desktop app projects can now launch a local web preview directly from a task.
Inspector mode lets you click anywhere in your app/site and share targeted feedback to the LatchLoop agent.

External Agents for Desktop (Preview)

LatchLoop Desktop can now connect to ACP-compatible local agents so you can use Codex and Claude Code directly in LatchLoop.
Switch between the LatchLoop agent harness or Codex and Claude Code whenever you need.

Improved Agent Queuing and Steering

You can send PR feedback while an agent run is already in progress.
Feedback is queued for the next turn, or you can use the new “Steer” action to inject it into the current run without stopping the agent.

Local Command Approvals

Local-mode agents can ask to run verification commands such as tests, lint, typecheck, or builds without requiring approval.
When a command is safe but might need approval, LatchLoop now shows an approval card in the task timeline and pauses the run while waiting for your decision.

Long-Running Agent Reliability

Improved automatic context compaction for long agent runs, helping agents continue on more complex tasks.

Desktop Terminal Reliability

Terminal panels can now be resized, hidden without killing the active session, and reopened with scrollback and running processes intact.

Desktop Git and Repository Setup

The desktop editor now shows clearer branch sync state, including ahead/behind indicators, recent commit history, and pull actions when available.
Attaching a local repository is simpler: you can choose an existing folder or download the repository to your computer from a single guided dialog.
Shortcut CMD+ number keys to quick switch between the main LatchLoop pane and open project editor panes.

Local Agent Visibility

Terminal commands in AI messages can show a desktop-only Run button that sends safe commands to the project terminal when a local repository is connected.
Hovering over individual code or diff lines now reveals a plus button for asking a question or requesting a change about that exact line instead of having to select the lines of code first.

Task Planning and Collaboration

Users can add new todos directly in the AI sidebar, even when a task does not already have a todo list.
Teammate messages in the AI sidebar now show avatars and hover timestamps, making collaborative task threads easier to follow.

Sidebar Navigation

The left sidebar now has selectable organization modes for recent tasks and pinned projects, including grouped-by-project and compact project-icon layouts.
Recent tasks show more project context, and the expanded sidebar can be resized on desktop.

Desktop Updates

LatchLoop desktop checks for unsaved desktop editor work before installing an update that needs to quit and relaunch.
macOS users can enable a menu bar icon for quick access to recent tasks, opening LatchLoop, and quitting the app.
