The desktop app grows a browser, clickable file mentions, and a Markdown preview

Empryo 3.1.0-beta, released Jul 3, 2026. Part of the 3.1 line.

Release notes

The v3 beta's biggest desktop update yet. Empryo's desktop app gains a real embedded browser, turns the agent's file references into things you can actually click, and learns to render Markdown, plus a long list of smaller refinements across chat, the maze, settings, and the workspace picker.

Highlights

  • An embedded browser, built in. Preview your dev server without leaving Empryo. A tabbed, local-only browser lives right inside the app, so the thing you're building and the agent building it share one window.
  • Clickable file mentions. When Empryo names a file, it's now a link. Click to open it in place (desktop) or jump straight there from the terminal (CLI). Only real files in your indexed codebase light up, so a mention is never a dead end.
  • Markdown, prettified. The file peek can render Markdown instead of only showing source. Hit the prettify toggle to read a doc the way it's meant to look, headings, code, and all.
  • Choose your prompt-cache window. Settings now expose the prompt cache TTL (5 minutes or 1 hour), so you can trade freshness for cost on your terms.

Smoother all over

  • The maze opens zoomed in with a clearer HUD, gives each agent a distinct color, and keeps links off by default so it reads at a glance.
  • The workspace picker scrolls and filters your recent projects, so getting back into a codebase is one keystroke.
  • Settings grew a dedicated Providers tab, a clearer workspace-scope toggle, and tabs that scroll when they need to.
  • Resuming a session brings back the full transcript, agent messages and tool cards included, instead of a bare outline.
  • Steadier chat streaming, reliable glass transparency, framed image lightboxes, sharper themes on dark backgrounds, and a tidier titlebar round it out.

Under the hood

  • The download page now builds its links from a tracked manifest, and a release refuses to finish until empryo.com is actually serving the new version, no more dead download buttons.
  • Every artifact here, CLI, TUI, and the desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Is built, signed, and shipped straight from a Mac. No CI in the loop.

Same graph engine, same workshop, now with a window onto the web and fewer dead ends.
