v0.1.0

Multipeer released v0.1.0, its first public version, a shared canvas for terminals, coding agents, files, notes and pictures that runs on a local network or over the internet with end-to-end encryption. The release adds internet sharing with a fresh invite link each time sharing is turned on, support for running multiple Claude Code and Codex accounts with per-account colors, and a usage panel showing each account's 5-hour and weekly limits, tokens by day and API-equivalent cost over 7 or 30 days. The app also introduces a square, hairline-grid redesign built for walls of fifty terminals, a grid-arrange shortcut (⇧G), and a default workspace folder at ~/Multipeer.

Highlights The first public release of multipeer: one canvas for your terminals, coding agents, files, notes and pictures, shared live with the people you work with, on your network or over the internet, encrypted end to end. Run as many Claude Code and Codex accounts as you like and see every limit at a glance. A new look, square and calm, built for a wall of fifty terminals. Added

  • Sharing that stays yours: each time you turn on Share over the internet you get a new link that stops working when you stop sharing, so an old or forwarded link can't be used to knock later. Only you can close your terminals and agents, files someone else adds are never read from your folder or saved over, and with Collaborators can type off nobody else can type in, stop, restart or save over what's yours.
  • Your first empty canvas greets you with your avatar and Start something, once: the first thing you do ends it for good.
  • Pictures on the canvas are just the picture now: no title bar, edge to edge.
  • Give each Claude Code or Codex account a colour in Settings › AI: the agents you run on it wear that colour, so you can tell at a glance which account a window uses.
  • Drag a picture from Finder or File Explorer onto Claude Code, Codex or another agent and it gets the picture to look at; on a terminal, the file's path is typed in.
  • A maximized terminal or agent has a minimize button in its top-right corner that takes you back to the canvas.
  • More than one Claude Code or Codex account: add as many as you like in Settings › AI (each signs in with the CLI's own sign-in, right there), and pick which one a new agent runs on. The agent's header shows who it runs as, and it keeps that account across restarts.
  • Usage, at the top of Settings › AI: how much of every Claude Code and Codex account's 5-hour and weekly limits is used and when each refills (the last reading stays, marked ~ as a rough guide, when a sign-in has lapsed), tokens by day per account, models, sessions and what the work would cost at API prices, over 7 or 30 days. Choosing which account to run Claude Code or Codex on shows how much of each one's limits is used: amber from three quarters, red from nine tenths.
  • Share a canvas over the internet: turn on Share over the internet in the Share menu while hosting and send the invite link. People anywhere click it to open multipeer, which asks before joining (or paste it into Share → Join), then knock and see the code as usual, and everything stays encrypted end to end.
  • A Matrix theme: neon phosphor green on near-black. Pick it under Settings › Appearance › Dark theme.
  • multipeer starts in a Multipeer folder in your home folder (~/Multipeer), made for you. The first-launch screen, Choose your workspace, shows it with Change instead of making you browse for one.
  • First launch looks the part: the canvas grid behind it, square progress marks, calmer copy, and always the default dark look, whatever theme you picked.
  • Arrange as grid (⇧G, also in ⌘K): tiles the selection, or everything, into an even wall. Fifty terminals line up in one keystroke.
  • A new look: cards, buttons, menus and panels are sharp and square on one hairline grid, with quieter, smaller type; people (avatars, cursors, who's here) are the only round things.
  • Back and Forward in the title bar return you to the places you jumped to on the canvas.
  • Follow someone: click their face or their row in the sidebar and your view stays on them, with a frame in their colour, until you press Esc or move the canvas yourself.
  • Maximize a terminal or agent: the button on its row in the sidebar (or ⇧⌘↩) opens it full size in a tab beside its space; close the tab, or go Back, to return to the canvas.
  • A sidebar on the right shows the details of what you pick. It starts closed: ⌥⌘\ opens it.
  • Drag anything in the sidebar's Canvas tab: terminals, agents, files, notes and zones reorder (lower in the list is in front) and move into or out of zones.
  • Open images on the canvas: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, BMP, ICO, TIFF and more open from the Files tab or ⌘K as a picture, sized to its shape. Everyone in your session sees them, animations play, and a picture updates when its file changes.
  • Drag files onto the canvas to open them. An image from outside your workspace is copied into its .assets folder.
  • On macOS, iPhone photos (HEIC) and AVIF images open too. Changed
  • When a new version is out, Update to v… shows right above your name: one click downloads it, swaps it in and reopens multipeer, no reinstall. A Mac too old for a new version stays on the one it has.
  • Choosing which Claude Code account to run on shows all of its limits side by side, the 5-hour, the week and a model's week such as Fable's, each named, with how much is used and when it refills.
  • Settings › AI has a clear Add a Claude Code account and Add a Codex account row under each list, instead of a small +.
  • Settings › Profile and Updates are centred: your avatar, name and Edit avatar down the middle, and the avatar studio under them.
  • The + in the top bar offers only the agents installed on this computer (one you install shows the next time you open it), and says more tools are coming.
  • Settings open in a big window over the dimmed canvas, with Back to canvas (or Esc, or a click on the canvas) to return. The sections are icons down the left that open to show their names when you rest the pointer on them. Every section lists its parts beside the page of the one you pick, and your Macs are under Profile.
  • Settings › AI lists your accounts down the side, each with its tightest limit and how many of your agents run on it, and gives each one a page: its limits large, with when each runs dry at your pace and a one-click move to an account with room before it does, plus its tokens by day, when you work, its models and its recent sessions, in the account's colour.
  • SVG files open as pictures instead of as text.
  • In Light mode the canvas stays dark: the sidebar, bars, menus and settings turn light, while the canvas and your terminals, agents, notes and files keep their dark look.
  • Light mode is easier on the eyes: a dim, paper-like interface with ink text and a blue accent, instead of bright white.
  • Sign-in codes and team invites have a new look: the multipeer mark, the code in big type, and a few familiar faces.
  • Sign-in codes and team invites now come from mail.multipeer.sh (signin@ and invites@) instead of the old agentbird.sh address.
  • The canvas is plain, with no dots; turn on a quiet line grid in Settings › Appearance. The minimap in the corner is gone.
  • The tools float in a rail on the canvas's left edge instead of a bar along the bottom: select, pan, a terminal, your agent, a note and a zone.
  • The top bar runs along the top of the canvas: + to pin any tool, your pinned tools with their names, Find anything (⌘K) and zoom. It stays when the sidebar is hidden.
  • Who's here moved to the bottom of the left sidebar, above your profile.
  • multipeer opens straight to Welcome: the first-launch film is gone.
  • Reopening multipeer starts your agents again (Claude Code, Codex and the rest, as a fresh session) instead of leaving their cards empty.
  • Themes dress the interface (sidebar, bars, menus, settings); the canvas and your terminals, agents, files and notes keep the default look whatever theme you pick.
  • Find anything (⌘K) finds what's on your canvas, on every space, plus your files and a few actions; new terminals and agents come from the + in the top bar.
  • The + in the top bar opens in the middle of the canvas, its tools a few to a row.
  • Everyone in a session can type in your terminals and agents straight away, with no switch to turn on for each one. Collaborators can type, in the Share menu, turns it off for all of yours at once, and a lock shows on them while it's off.
  • What needs you shows as a count in the title bar: click it, or press ⌘J, to go there.
  • A folder opened for the first time no longer starts inside a "Workspace" zone: its terminal and README sit on the canvas by themselves.
  • Cards are built for a wall of them: a thinner header with the name and state, the folder path only close up, a crisp hairline edge instead of soft shadows, a faint accent wash over a terminal's header while it's working.
  • Terminals have a cleaner look: the card is the terminal (no screen inset) and the cursor is a thin bar. Selecting a terminal no longer changes its colour, just a thin accent outline, and the resize grip in the corner is gone.
  • A hairline on the sidebar's edge parts it from the canvas.
  • Components behave like layers: press any card, a terminal included, and drag to move it (the front-most under the pointer); click a terminal to type in it. A selection shows on the canvas, and dragging any part of it moves the whole selection.
  • Duplicate works on the whole selection as one group: the copies land right beside the originals in the same layout and stacking order, and duplicating again goes one step further.
  • Notices are quiet cards at the top of the canvas (in the window's top-right corner on the first-launch screens and over Settings), clear of everything else: a title, the detail under it, an icon for errors and successes, and a close button; hovering one keeps it up.
  • With hundreds of terminals open, running out of the terminals your Mac allows now says so plainly, once, and the ones that couldn't start wait, stopped, for a Restart.
  • Copies no longer share their original's name: a duplicated "Terminal 1" gets the next free number, and new components take the lowest free number of their kind.
  • Zooming out shrinks everything together: card titles no longer stay large on small cards.
  • Terminal text zooms smoothly with its card instead of wobbling and jumping in size. Fixed
  • Deny and Allow sit inside the card that asks whether to let someone join.
  • When someone joins, their row in the sidebar sits above your profile instead of slipping under it and off the bottom of the window.
  • Claude Code's, Codex's and other agents' spinners and marks (✻, ⏺, ⎿, ⠋) show as the real symbols instead of boxes, and the text beside them stays lined up.
  • Shift+Enter in a terminal adds a new line in Claude Code and other agents instead of sending the message.
  • Scrolling works in a focused terminal: a trackpad scrolls back through its output, and the scroll reaches programs that handle it themselves, like Claude Code's full-screen view, less and man.
