[ CHANGELOG Every release ]

Changelog
newest first.

The Beta channel is first, then every stable release. The newest stable release is the one on the download page.

Beta channel · 0.2.0-beta.1 · Claude built in, and an extension store

The Beta channel gets each update first, and may have rough edges. To switch, open Settings → Updates, find Channel and choose Beta. Everything below is beta, and not in Stable yet. See Download and Vaulterm Code.

  • Claude, built into Vaulterm Code (beta, Pro): A Claude panel sits where a terminal tab would. Replies stream in, every command and edit shows as a card, and Claude asks before it acts. Mention files with @, pick Sonnet, Opus or Haiku, and resume past sessions. It uses your own Anthropic API key, kept in your vault, and your own Claude Code install.
  • Undo what Claude changed: Each reply lists the files it changed, with a diff, Accept and Revert. Rewind to here, on any earlier message, puts your files back as they were then.
  • Claude on your servers, and your secrets kept out: On a project on a server, Claude runs there, and Vaulterm asks before it installs anything. A message that holds a secret from your vault is stopped before it is sent, and reading files like .env or SSH keys always asks first, even in Bypass mode.
  • An extension store (beta): Install VS Code themes, icon themes, languages and snippets from Open VSX, and Vaulterm's own Official add-ons, made and signed by us, which wear a blue check. Extension code from VS Code does not run.
  • Source Control, reworked (beta): One sync button, Changes, History and Branches tabs, a tree view, keys for staging, and cherry-pick and revert from History. A merge that stops on a conflict shows a banner with Abort.
  • Zoom the whole app (beta): Ctrl or ⌘ with +, - and 0, or Ctrl and the mouse wheel, makes everything bigger or smaller in every window, and Vaulterm remembers it. Settings → Appearance has it too.

0.1.2 · A new look and a new sound

  • A new look, v2: Vaulterm, Vaulterm Code and every screen around them now wear v2: thin hairline edges, room to breathe and a new typeface. Your accent, theme and style carry over, and a new install starts on v2.
  • A new sound, Aurora: Everyone moves to Aurora, Vaulterm's own sound. Halo, Keystone, Marimba, Felt, Crystal and Drift sit beside it in Settings → Sound, and Classic and the older packs are still there.
  • Prefer the old one? Go back: The first time you unlock after updating, Vaulterm asks whether to keep v2 or go back to v1 · Original, and offers the sound pack you had before, by name. Skip it and nothing is lost: Look is in Settings → Appearance, and sound packs are in Settings → Sound, whenever you want to switch.
  • A Home that gets you back to work: Search your hosts or type user@host to connect, pick up the tabs you left open, switch the list between Recent and Most used, and open a saved layout. Your usage stats and this computer's CPU and memory sit beside it. Stats are off on a new install; turn them on in Settings → Privacy.
  • Settings sorted into categories: Settings is split into categories, with Sync and License on pages of their own, and the interface font is yours to choose in Appearance.
  • New terminal themes: Vaulterm Ink and Vaulterm Dusk join the terminal theme lists, and Match the app picks one of them in v2. Retro's CRT looks, Matrix, Amber, Synthwave and Ice, come with Pro.
  • Motion that stays out of the way: Screens, cards and dialogs ease in and out, and changing look cross-fades. If your system asks for reduced motion, they simply fade. The intro offers Don't show this again from its second showing.
  • The wordmark lines up: In the original look, the mark beside Vaulterm sat 2 to 3 pixels low on Windows and Linux, on the lock screen, the welcome screen and the title bar. It now sits level with the capitals.

0.1.1 · Vaulterm Code

  • An editor for your projects: Open a folder on this computer, or on any server you've saved, and edit it in place: nothing is copied over first. You get VS Code's highlighting and keys, go to file, the command palette, search and replace across files, and terminals that start in the project. Right-click a host for Open in Code…, or double-click a text file in the tray's Files. A file that changes on the server while you edit says so and shows the two side by side, and closing, quitting or locking keeps your unsaved changes, or asks first.
  • Git, with a check for secrets: See what changed, stage whole files or just the lines you pick, and commit, all on the machine the code is on. Before each commit, Vaulterm looks through what you're adding for keys, tokens and passwords, your vault's own included, and that's free. Branches, stash, pull and push are at the bottom left. History, blame, comparing branches and a merge editor for conflicts come with Pro.
  • Language servers, in folders you trust: Completions, hover, go to definition, references, rename and formatting, with Problems listing every error and warning. Servers run next to the code, and because they can run code from the project they stay off until you turn them on for its folder. Seventeen are known, from TypeScript and Python to Go, Rust and C; Install… types the command into a terminal for you to check and run. Part of Pro.
  • Agents, and what they changed: Start Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI in a panel terminal in the project. Vaulterm takes a snapshot first, without touching your branch, index or stash, so Changes by agent lists every file it added, changed or deleted, for you to accept or revert, or just the lines you pick. Send code to the agent with Ctrl+Alt+A (⌘⌥A on a Mac), rewind to any checkpoint, or give one task to 2 to 4 agents in their own Git worktrees and keep the best. Part of Pro.
  • Run, debug and Environments: Set a breakpoint and press F5: the debugger runs where the project lives, with the variables, the call stack and your watches. The Tasks view lists what the project can run, and what a task finds lands in Problems. Environments keep a project's variables in the vault, with no .env file on disk. Tasks are free; debugging and Environments come with Pro.
  • Fleets, Save with sudo and Preview: Open one file on several hosts, or on a whole group, edit it once, and Apply writes it host by host, with a check after each one that stops at the first failure. A file you can't write offers Save with sudo, and the password goes to sudo alone. When a panel terminal prints a local address, Preview opens the page in a tab beside your code. They come with Pro.
  • Markdown, Vim and color themes: A Markdown file has a live preview beside it, with its pictures and Mermaid diagrams. Prefer Vim? Choose it in Settings → Code. Color theme… tries each theme on as you move through the list: Match Vaulterm, any of Vaulterm's themes, or a VS Code theme from VS Code, VSCodium or Cursor. Imported themes come with Pro.
  • Aurora, Vaulterm's own sound: Aurora is the new default, with Halo, Keystone, Marimba, Felt, Crystal and Drift to choose from. Classic and the older packs are still there, in Settings → Sound. Code opens with an intro and a jingle of its own.
  • Usage stats are your choice: On a new install, counting your usage starts off: turn it on in Settings → Privacy, under Count my usage on this computer. An install that was already counting keeps counting. Stats now add up across the main and Code windows, and a reset in one sticks in both.
  • A window that always fits: No Vaulterm window, Code's included, gets smaller than 960 × 600, so nothing is hidden or cut off.

0.1.0 · The beta, with your vault on every device

  • Sync across your devices: Turn on sync in Settings → Sync and your hosts, keys, snippets and the rest follow you to every Mac, PC and Linux machine, end-to-end encrypted: our server can't read them. Every plan syncs: Free up to 5 items, Pro 250 and Ultra 10,000. iPhone, iPad and Android apps are coming soon.
  • Add a device with five words: A new device asks to join, and one that already syncs approves it once both show the same five words. No other device to hand? Use your Recovery Key.
  • History and Recently deleted: Every change is kept for 90 days. Bring back an earlier version of a host or a connection from its menu, or something you deleted from Settings → Sync.
  • A Vaulterm account: Sign in with a passkey, or a password with an authenticator app, and your license comes with it. There's no key to type.
  • Drag files between servers: Select files in one server's Files and drop them on another server's pane. They go straight from server to server, never through this computer, and Vaulterm asks once about names already there. Part of Pro.
  • Ultra is on sale: Ultra syncs up to 10,000 items and runs on 5 devices at once: $24 for 3 months, $70 for 12 months, or $499 once for life.
  • A new welcome: Vaulterm opens with a short intro, and setup shows every accent, style and theme. Side panels now slide in and out; turn that off in Settings → Appearance.
  • Stable and Beta: Vaulterm is in beta until 1.0. Stable gets the tested builds of the beta; Beta gets each new update first. Choose in Settings → About.

0.0.10 · Copy from Claude Code

  • Programs can copy: When Claude Code, Neovim or tmux copies something, it lands on your clipboard, in local and SSH terminals alike. Programs can copy, but never read what you've copied.

0.0.9 · Telnet, Serial, and new devices that find you

  • Telnet, rlogin and Serial: The Connections page opens Telnet, rlogin and serial consoles as terminal tabs that split, broadcast and run snippets. Telnet and rlogin are free; Serial is part of Pro.
  • Spot a new device: Scan your network, plug something in, then press Scan again. Anything new shows at the top, marked New, and every row now shows its MAC address, ready to copy.
  • Network watch: With Pro, Vaulterm can check the networks you choose every few minutes while it's open, and tell you when a new SSH server appears, with Add as host right there. Turn it on in Scan network; only on networks you trust.
  • Choose when Vaulterm locks: Settings → Security. Lock after 1 minute to 4 hours, or never, and choose whether it locks when your computer sleeps. Lock now is there too.
  • A new setup, and three new styles: Setup asks for your license key first and shows what your plan includes. Pro adds the Glass, Retro and Soft styles.
  • More ways to buy Pro: Pro is $5 a month, $14 for 3 months, $49 for 12 months, or $349 once for life. A 3 or 12 month Pro says when it ends, and reminds you two weeks before.

0.0.8 · Easier to read, and a face of your own

  • Menus you can read: The Command Center, menus, prompts and notices over a terminal now sit on a near-solid background, so a light terminal theme no longer washes out their text.
  • Pick a face: Settings → Appearance → Logo. The title bar's logo can wear any of the mascot's faces, from Wink to Side-eye.
  • Terms and privacy: Settings → About now links to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
  • Squashed bugs: Smart panes no longer leave an Open :port button behind when a program comes and goes in under a second, in local and SSH panes.

0.0.7 · Vaulterm for Mac

  • On your Mac: One download for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, on macOS 13 Ventura or later. It's signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens without warnings, and it updates itself like Vaulterm on Windows and Linux.
  • Mac shortcuts: Shortcuts use ⌘ on a Mac. ⌘K opens the Command Center, ⌘T opens a tab and ⌘D splits a pane, and you can change any of them in Settings.
  • Your license comes too: Pro activates on a Mac like on any other computer, and the Mac counts as one of your devices.

0.0.6 · Pro, and more ways to connect

  • Vaulterm Pro: Free keeps everything you need, and Pro adds the rest: $49 once, or $5 a month, on vaulterm.com. Used Vaulterm before today? Pro is yours for life, with nothing to do.
  • Connections: A new Connections page opens SFTP, FTP, FTPS and S3 (with R2, B2, MinIO and Wasabi) as tabs, browsed and edited like the Files tray. Their keys and passwords live in the vault.
  • Text that fits every pane: Text no longer gets cut off in small or split panes, and a narrow pane shrinks its text to stay readable. Each pane has its own size too, with A− and A+ in its header, or Ctrl and =, − or 0.
  • A Minimal style: Settings, then Appearance, then Style. Minimal keeps your accent as plain solid colours, with no gradients and no glows.
  • Right-click pastes: Turn it on in Settings, then Terminal text, and right-click pastes like PuTTY. Shift and right-click opens the menu.
  • Squashed bugs: Setup's sound packs line up, the plan badges are calmer and easier to read, and lots of small fixes besides.

0.0.5 · Knows what's running

  • Smart panes: Tabs and pane headers name what runs in them (Claude Code, vim, npm run dev) and whether it's working, idle, waiting for you or finished. It works on this computer and over SSH, with nothing to install.
  • Agents: A new section lists every coding agent in your sessions, waiting ones first, and starts Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI here or on a server. A pink badge and a notification tell you when one needs you.
  • Open and forward ports: A printed localhost address gets an Open button. On a server it's “Forward and open”, which makes the tunnel for you.
  • A new network scan: Scan network is a centred dialog with a sweeping radar. Each server it finds shows its vendor, what it is and a suggested name, and your networks are remembered by name.
  • Organize hosts by dragging: Drag hosts and groups to reorder them or move them between groups, several at once. Every host and group has a menu with Duplicate and Move to.
  • A friendlier Vaulterm: Setup starts with the app, then a guided tour opens each place it talks about. Five sound packs, an accent gradient you turn with a dial, and the mascot in empty rooms.
  • Squashed bugs: Lots of small fixes across hosts, themes, the tour and the network scan.

0.0.4 · Spelled right

  • The wordmark: It read “Vaultterm”. The gradient now starts at the shared t, so it reads Vaulterm, as it should.

0.0.3 · A new name: Vaulterm

  • A new name: Same app, same logo. Your vault, hosts, settings and layouts came across on their own; the old folder is untouched, and Settings → About can move it to the trash.
  • Snippets: Save commands with {{variables}}. Run them with # in the Command Center or from the inspector, on several hosts at once, or when a host connects.
  • Scan network: Find the SSH servers on your networks from the Hosts page and add them in one go. The scan runs from this computer only.
  • Command Center and themes: Ctrl+Shift+` opens the Command Center on Windows and Linux. Hovering a terminal theme previews all 16 of its colours.
  • Steadier file transfers: Transfers carry on after a reconnect, and the editor notices changes made on the server.
  • Smoother everywhere: No terminal flicker while resizing, a side menu that expands to show names, and easier-to-read menus.

0.0.2 · Bring your SSH setup with you

  • Import from this computer: Your ~/.ssh/config hosts, jump hosts and keys, in one step.
  • PuTTY on Windows: Saved sessions and .ppk keys, passphrase-protected ones included.
  • Servers you already trust: known_hosts comes with you, so familiar servers connect without asking again.
  • What's New: After each update, a window shows what changed. Find it again in Settings → About.

0.0.1 · First release

  • Windows and Linux installers with signed automatic updates. The encrypted vault, SSH with keys, passwords, two-factor prompts and jump hosts, split panes, the Command Center, Home, SFTP, tunnels and 25 terminal themes.
