Buda v1.13.0 Release Notes

Released: June 22, 2026

✨ New Features

• Commander beta — every session in one place: A new Commander workspace lists every Agent session you have across all your spaces. The "Needs you" tab pulls forward sessions waiting on your reply or that hit a snag, and you can start a new session in any space without leaving the page.
• Apps and websites side by side: A new "Apps & Skills" entry in the left sidebar lets you see and manage every app and published site in your space from one place.
• Search inside any chat: Click the magnifier button in the chat toolbar to find any message in the current conversation. Pick a result and Buda scrolls right to it with the keywords highlighted.
• Pick up a shared chat in your own space: When someone shares a session with you, you can now choose any of your own Agents and keep chatting with the full history loaded. No more read-only dead end.
• Right-click tabs to clean up: On any side or bottom panel tab, right-click to choose "Close", "Close others", or "Close all" — handy after previewing a stack of files or images.
• Buda Desktop is now in Beta: Buda Desktop has officially entered Beta. Windows and Mac users can download it at https://buda.im/download — give it a spin and let us know how it feels.

🔧 Experience

• Rename session titles: A smoother, more direct way to rename sessions in the sidebar.
• Switching spaces remembers where you were: Buda brings you back to the Agent and session you were last working on in that space.
• Automation sessions blend into the normal list: The sidebar no longer tucks automation-created sessions into a separate folder.
• Phone and tablet chat stays put: The top bar and input box stick to the top and bottom of the screen so only messages scroll. The input no longer disappears when the phone address bar slides in.
• A more polished search palette: Cmd+K shows a result count on each tab, gives every result a consistent icon, and adds a footer with arrow / enter / tab / esc hints so you can fly through it.
• GPT image generation on by default: Paid spaces get GPT image generation and editing tools turned on automatically. No more hunting for the toggle.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Attachment previews open every time: Clicking an image or file in your chat now opens the preview reliably, even on the second click and even for older attachments.
• Shared chats show their attachments: When someone outside your space opens a shared session, they can now see image previews and download attached files just like you can.
• Maximizing a side panel actually fills the screen: Going full-screen on a Local Browser preview now covers the whole window, including the left sidebar.
• Settings opens even when a space has no Agents: Spaces without any Agents can now open the settings panel normally.
• Drag-and-drop Agent order sticks: Reordering Agents in the sidebar now persists across refreshes.
