Release Notes
The latest and greatest.
Here's what we've been working on – Check out the blog for more on each release.
v1.18.0
November 2, 2026- Dashboards put what matters from every context on one screen: numbers to watch, charts, notes, and tables an agent built for you. Drag tiles where you want them, resize them from their edges, and click an empty spot to add one. Agents can build a whole dashboard for you, and any dashboard can be the screen Frontier opens on.
- Pin to dashboard, in the menu of a table or chart in a thread, keeps it on a dashboard even after the thread is gone.
- Frontier updates itself. New versions download in the background, and the account menu offers Restart to update. If an agent is still working, Frontier asks first and can wait until it finishes. Update to this version by hand once, from the download page; after that, updates arrive on their own.
- The + menu in the top bar lists your dashboards and Strategies, and your account items stay in the account menu.
- Contexts show their names everywhere instead of an id, and scrolling over your account picture steps through every context in order.
- Agents can close the Proxy tabs they opened once they're done with them.
- Fixed: a thread could show "Run failed" after your phone woke up while the run was still going; and the repository list in Backups was empty.
v1.17.3
October 24, 2026- Fixed: the first thread you ran after restarting your computer could fail because Frontier couldn't find Claude Code or another agent's command. Frontier now finds them even when your terminal setup is slow to load.
v1.17.2
October 17, 2026- Sign-in shows GitHub only for now, while Google sign-in gets more testing.
v1.17.1
October 14, 2026- Security improvements to sign-in. After updating, sign in once more.
- You can now sign in with Google as well as GitHub. GitHub is still the one that lets backups reach your repositories.
v1.17.0
October 6, 2026- Gemini CLI is verified end to end, and Grok CLI, xAI's own coding agent, joins it as a connector. Runs, tool calls, terminal-session sync and Frontier's own tools work through both. Gemini signs in with an API key or a Google Cloud project; Grok by running grok login, or with an xAI API key.
- Pick a Temperature beside a workspace's connector: Low, Medium or High chooses the model within that connector, like Haiku, Sonnet or Opus on Claude. See Choosing a connector per workspace.
- Switch a thread to a different connector and the conversation carries on. The new one gets the whole conversation so far, instead of the next run failing.
- Replay, in a reply's menu, shows the tokens each tool call used, and its cost where the agent reports one. Agents can ask where a week's tokens went; see Find out where your tokens go.
- Gemini and Grok get Proxy's tools automatically too, alongside Claude Code and Codex, whenever Proxy is on.
- UIs an agent shows under a reply read better on a phone, and a table cell cut short opens to its full text when you click the ellipsis.
- A community setup can list what it needs: a tool, a sign-in, an API key. After you install it, a Set up thread checks each one and asks your approval before installing or signing in to anything.
- Settings → General → Credentials keeps the API keys your agents need. They stay on this computer, out of backups, and thread runs get them as environment variables.
- What you've read is shared across your devices, so a thread you read on your phone isn't unread on your computer.
- Backups save conversations as readable files and send only what changed. Restore names the contexts it will replace before you confirm.
- Fixed: Quick Chat could create a second Assistant workspace; the Threads view kept redrawing while idle; a script's model question through an installed local agent came back empty; and a Claude thread that had run more than once reported its whole conversation's cost as each reply's.
