  • Three access modes for shared sessions: full collaborator, read-only, and link-only view — with read-only enforcement and a friendlier UX when an invite is incomplete or you've been removed.

  • Dual-pane file manager: a new built-in file manager with local file system, cross-pane drag, group actions, and full Windows path support.

  • Drag files in and out of the app: drag files out to Finder / Explorer via native OS drag, and drag files onto a terminal to paste their path.

Fixes

  • Recording auto-upload — When a enterprise shared vault enforces session recording, terminals now record automatically and the file is queued for upload to your Tempest workspace when the session ends.

  • Tempest Cloud for Session Recording — After you stop a recording manually, choose whether to upload it to your workspace or keep it on disk.

  • Removed Tempest Smart Shell. By default, it's already smart enough!

  • Record terminal sessions. Hit record on any SSH, Telnet, Mosh, Kubernetes, or local shell tab and save the whole session as a replayable file. Great for sharing reproductions, demos, or audit trails. (Pro)

  • Introducing Tempest CLI. SSH into synced hosts, browse and copy files, pick servers from a TUI, and act as an MCP server for your own AI tools. Install it to your PATH with tempest install-cli.

  • Telegram and Discord notifications. New push channels alongside the existing ones.

Improvements

  • Local shell on Windows is dramatically better. Rebuilt on a new terminal engine — fewer hangs, correct exit codes, proper argument quoting.

  • Refreshed terminal right-click menu with a tidier set of actions.

  • Search bar consolidated into a single button group for a cleaner look.

  • Settings → Social links now stay up-to-date without needing an app update.

Fixes

  • SFTP editor: Cmd/Ctrl+S now actually tells you when a save fails, and uploads now reliably finish before reporting success.
