Qoder Release Notes

Sites: Create and Publish Websites Through Conversation

Features

• Site building: Choose from templates, create websites through conversation, and preview, publish, and manage sites in the desktop app.
• PPT creation and editing: Open PPTX files in your workspace directly in the desktop app, and edit and save them. Download the PPT plugin from Extensions > Plugin Marketplace for a better experience.
• Computer Use: Upgraded to Computer Use 2.0 for a smoother experience, with Linux support. Enable it in Settings > Computer Use to try it out.
• Achievement stickers: Added 7 achievement stickers that unlock progressively as you use Qoder. Explore and collect them.
• Reply annotations: When enabled in Settings > Experimental features, select text in an agent reply to add it to the input box, attach a comment, and reference the corresponding annotation in later replies.

Improvements

• Voice input: Press and hold the mouse in the input box for voice input; when you release, the transcription stays in the input box so you can edit it before sending.
• Send shortcut: Choose in Settings whether Enter or Cmd/Ctrl+Enter sends messages.
• Remote Control: Automatically syncs local session history updated within the last 7 days, with improved incremental sync that reduces redundant transfers.
• Worktree: Improved start point list loading and creation readiness for large repositories, reducing load or creation failures when there are many local changes.

Fixes

Everyday Polish

Improvements

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the built-in browser could not reuse website login sessions across tasks.
• Fixed issues where streaming replies did not keep scrolling automatically to the latest content and remained at older content after layout changes.

Everyday Polish

Improvements

• Before Computer Use performs a visual operation such as a click, it now verifies that the screenshot is current and that the target window still matches, improving accuracy.
• Improved cancellation and timeout handling for Computer Use, so long-running operations respond more promptly.

Fixes

• Fixed Computer Use possibly repeating the same operation while the result of that operation could not yet be confirmed.

Network Proxy Support Added

Features

• Network proxy: Added network proxy configuration, with connection testing. Changes take effect after a restart.

Improvements

Fixes

• Improved automatic recovery from remote control errors, and fixed Managed SSH session failures in a VPC, BYOK model recognition on mobile, and cross-device sync issues.

• Fixed startup failures on Windows that triggered automatic compatibility mode, corrupted rendering of small icons on macOS, and scrolling in the automation model list.

Mobile remote control is supported

Features

• Mobile Remote Control: Once enabled, you can use your phone to create and run tasks on your computer. The phone and the computer share the same session, and renaming, deletion, task forking, and follow-up questions all sync in both directions.

Hello, World!

What's New

• Frontier models and smart routing: Qoder brings together leading models without locking you into a single one. Choose the model that fits your task, or let the Auto routing engine balance quality, speed, and cost automatically.
• Harness for complex tasks: Qoder's Harness keeps planning, execution, verification, and self-correction in a continuous loop. For long-running and complex tasks, it retains context, adapts based on real results, and retries or rolls back when needed, while permission tiers and tool allowlists keep sensitive actions within clear boundaries.
• Works in real environments: With Browser Use and Computer Use, Qoder can operate websites and desktop apps as you would, so it can complete work in real environments rather than being limited to chat and codebases.
• An ecosystem that connects: With more than 70 plugins, 20,000 skills, and 40 connectors, Qoder connects to the systems where work happens: code repositories, documents and data sources, collaboration tools, databases, internal APIs, ticketing systems, and monitoring tools.
• Proactive by default: Qoder does more than respond to instructions. It proactively brings unresolved errors, changes without tests, inconsistent logic, task updates, and suggested next steps to your attention. You remain the decision-maker without having to remember everything yourself.
