What’s new

Release notes for every Overwire desktop release, newest first.

v1.0.2

July 11, 2026 · macOS, Windows

Help and support, built into the app.

Added

  • Help menu in the top bar and the system menu bar: documentation, keyboard shortcuts, issue reporting, email support, and diagnostic-bundle export
  • Public issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests, linked from the app, the docs, and the site footer
  • Upgrade to Pro from Settings, with a clearer license panel

Improved

  • Settings and Runner pages scroll from anywhere in the window, not just the centered column

Fixed

  • macOS: clicking the dock icon after closing the window reopens a working window instead of nothing
  • Cancelling a run also stops a Docker action's pre and post containers, so a blocking pre-entrypoint can no longer hang the run or leave a container behind

v1.0.1

July 9, 2026 · macOS, Windows

Overwire lands on Windows, and first launch gets friendlier with a built-in demo.

Added

  • Windows app: a signed installer for 64-bit Windows, with the same workbench, licensing, and auto-updates as macOS
  • Built-in demo: open a sample workspace with ready-to-run workflows straight from the start screen — no setup or Docker needed
  • Demo workspaces are view-and-execute: run workflows and flip step modes freely while the sample files stay pristine
  • Exit the demo from the status bar; removing a workspace's last repository now closes it back to the start screen

Improved

  • First launch lands directly on the start screen, which explains what to open and that workflow files are never modified
  • Opening a single repository sets it up automatically — the manual initialize step is gone
  • Crash-reporting consent waits until after you open something

Fixed

  • Reopening a workspace whose repository list had been emptied no longer dead-ends on the setup screen

v1.0.0

July 3, 2026 · macOS

First stable release.

Added

  • Mocked steps narrate their contract match, validated inputs, outputs, and declared duration in the step log

Improved

  • Lifetime licenses include every update; the update window and renewal are gone
  • The update control sits beside the app version in the status bar
  • The wordmark matches the brand across the app

v0.9.1

July 2, 2026 · macOS

Added

  • Welcome dialog that orients first launches before setup
  • Data settings: open the app's directories, clear the cache, or reset app data

Fixed

  • The system keychain is only accessed when you switch secret storage
  • Cmd+Q always quits cleanly, even mid-teardown

v0.9.0

July 1, 2026 · macOS

First public release.

  • Workflow workbench: open a repository and run its GitHub Actions workflows locally
  • Per-step modes: skip, mock, or live-execute each step in a real runner container
  • Platform simulation for events, contexts, and the GitHub API
  • Companion CLI, installable from npm
