version: 1.13.1
date: 2026-06-17
title: Cron expressions for scheduled tasks
---

## App

### New
- **Scheduled Tasks:** the task editor takes Cron expressions. It checks the expression as you type, offers example chips, and shows the next four runs (thanks to @tomzx).
- Chat: click a Mermaid diagram in a message to open it fullscreen and pan or zoom around it.
- Security: a self-hosted instance keeps search engines out with noindex headers and a robots.txt.

### Improvements
- Chat: pinned welcome starters are on screen as soon as a new draft session opens.
- Chat: the context usage indicator is a round progress ring, with the same colors, in every workspace header.
- Chat: embedded chat views and context panel previews follow your theme.
- Files: the file editor, Plan View, and the Skills page highlight more languages.
- Startup: providers and agents load faster.
- Right Sidebar: switching tabs redraws less of the rest of the screen (thanks to @bashrusakh).

### Fixes
- Chat: an amount like `$50` stays an amount. Only `$$...$$` and `\(...\)` are read as math.
- Chat: a reply full of code no longer freezes the page while it highlights.
- Chat: on Android, the session status button responds to taps.
- Sessions: the app no longer crashes at startup when you have many sessions in folders.
- Agents: deleting a built-in agent leaves it in place and explains why, instead of quietly disabling it.
- Agents: deleting an agent whose definition is missing shows an error instead of doing nothing.
- Notifications: desktop notifications no longer arrive twice.
- Notifications: reasoning text is left out of the notification body.
- Sessions: the session list loads steadily with Windows paths and with several requests at once.
- Diagnostics: duplicate health-check URLs are gone.

### Misc
- CLI: the installer needs Node.js 22, and it says what to do when it cannot read your version.
