New

  • After connecting Jira: when a Jira connection succeeds, Sharkly prompts you to set up data sync or import existing work. Connecting Jira does not sync or import by itself.
  • Sharkly Assistant: a personal assistant under My Tasks is created the first time you open it. It has no settings page; choose its Runtime in the chat composer.

Improvements

  • Computer starting state: starting or restarting the local computer shows Starting instead of Offline; a successful restart is confirmed.
  • Desktop occupancy recovery: if Start is blocked by another process, recover in the app instead of sending people to the terminal.
  • Runtime CLI setup: when a Runtime is not detected, the product can tell you to install the CLI rather than the desktop app.
  • Runtime sign-in guidance: if a Runtime is unsigned-in or unauthorized, detection and chat point you to the command to run on that computer.
  • Board filter counts: filter option counts use all tasks in the current board scope, not the already-narrowed result.
  • Environment variables and custom parameters: edit them in a table; secret values stay hidden by default.
  • Automation notification recipients: creating an Automation or adding a trigger defaults the creator as a run-result recipient; the list can still be cleared.
  • View context menu: right-click a view, including one folded into More, to open that view's menu.
  • Comment @ Agent: @ mentioning an Agent in a task comment opens that Agent's task conversation. A plain comment no longer starts the Assignee.
  • Offline Runtime selection: create or rebind an Agent with an offline Runtime on an offline Computer; the local Computer is listed first and labeled (local).
  • Specify a model in custom arguments: set a model in Agent or Runtime custom arguments. There is no separate model dropdown.
  • Board card context menu: right-click a board card to open the task, copy its link, or change its status.
  • Per-view display mode: board, list, or table is saved with each View, so switching Views no longer keeps the previous display mode.
  • Chat preparation progress: before an Agent starts, the conversation shows clone, worktree, and checkout progress.
  • Help when stuck: if connection or detection is stuck, open the docs or contact the Sharkly community.

Fixes

  • Local service start: fixed a case where a leftover local service could leave Start stuck.
  • Inbox Automation notifications: opening an Automation notification now marks it read.
  • Inbox unread counts: Other unread counts stay accurate while that list is not yet open.
  • Network error state: unavailable network shows a network-error state with reload, instead of unrelated setup guidance.
  • Agent task attachments: Agents can attach files to the current Task and Tasks they create during a run.
  • Not detected vs Starting: a Runtime that is not detected no longer shows as Starting.
  • Missing CLI prompt: if the Computer is online but the CLI is missing, the composer says that computer does not have the CLI instead of saying the Agent is offline.
  • Image preview Esc: Esc closes the image preview in a task description and does not close task detail.
  • Connection error details: Jira connection failures show the specific reason without expanding.
