Changelog

Features

• Asana MCP: Asana's MCP is now available in our catalog. Approve access directly in Asana, and reference the MCP in Niteshift tasks to review or update tasks.

FIG · Update Asana tasks in Niteshift

UX Improvements

• Press ⌘P to pull up a list of most recently updated tasks for quick access.

• Niteshift's MCP can now be used to rename, archive, and unarchive tasks, so agents can clean up after themselves.

• Tasks now begin work on your default branch, and a new branch is only created once the agent has changes to commit.

• Every Settings page now fits nicely on a phone screen.

Bug Fixes

• When an agent asks multiple questions at once, the corresponding Slack notification now lists all of them instead of showing only the first.

Features

• Inline Diagrams: Mermaid flowcharts now render directly in chat instead of as code blocks. Open them fullscreen or copy the source from the header.

FIG · An agent explaining a checkout bug with a rendered flowchart

• Background task controls: When Claude is running in the background, you can now view and stop individual background tasks from the new strip above the message composer. By default, background tasks run for up to 2 hours, and you can set their maximum runtime from 30 minutes to 24 hours in Task Settings when creating a new task.

FIG · Two background tasks are visible above the message composer

FIG · Set max background runtime from Task Settings

UX Improvements

• Individual settings are now searchable in Quicksearch. Press ⌘K, search by name or description, and jump directly to the right setting, with each result showing whether it's personal, repository, or organization scoped.

• Codex sign-ins that expire now offer the same one-click renewal as Claude Code.

• On mobile, selecting the task title now opens a list of your prompts, so you can directly jump to the one you're after.

• The Niteshift MCP can now list tasks by pull request status, including draft, open, merged, closed, with a PR, or without one.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed pinned tasks disappearing from the sidebar and not syncing across tabs.

Features

• Screenshot annotations: Add arrows, boxes, drawings, and text to an image before you send it, so the agent knows exactly what you're referring to.

FIG · Marking up a screenshot before attaching it to a prompt

• Member management: When selecting a member in Settings, admins can now view their sign-in sessions, sign them out of Niteshift, or export their full session history as a CSV.

FIG · Selecting a member opens their sign-in session history

• Slack MCP: Setting up the Slack integration now enables the Slack MCP automatically, so your tasks can read and post in Slack on your behalf.

FIG · A task posting a pull request digest to a Slack channel

• Opus 5 for Claude: Opus 5 is the new default model for Claude tasks, available with Fast Mode and all reasoning levels from None to Max.

UX Improvements

• Niteshift now warns you a few days before your Claude sign-in expires. When sign-in expires, you can renew in one click without having to connect from scratch.

• Each shared API key now has its own fallback switch, so your team can use the shared Claude key without also sharing Codex or Cursor. Personal credentials always take precedence.

• Screenshots and videos captured by Codex tasks now appear in the task's highlights filmstrip.

• Cursor and Grok tasks now follow your repository's AGENTS.md, so every coding agent automatically uses your project's conventions.

Bug Fixes

FIG · Screenshots an agent captured, gathered into a filmstrip on the task

• Custom OAuth for MCP servers: Connect MCP servers that need their own registered OAuth app — like Google Drive MCP — by adding a client ID and secret. Niteshift gives you the exact callback URL to register with the provider.

• Codex Ultra: Niteshift now supports Codex GPT-5.6's Ultra mode, which spins up parallel sub-agents to take on the hardest problems. Watch each one run live as the task progresses.

• Monthly automation schedules: Automations can now be triggered monthly on a specific weekday, like the first Saturday of each month.

Bug Fixes

• Desktop notifications now appear while Chrome runs in the background.

• Tasks re-open, rather than remaining archived, when there's new activity on an already-merged pull request.

Features

• Automation run history: Monitor your automations with a view of recent runs. Each run links directly to its corresponding task or pull request, so you can quickly inspect scheduled activity.

FIG · An automation's recent runs are shown below its triggers

• GPT-5.6 for Codex: GPT-5.6 Sol is the new default model for Codex tasks, with Terra and Luna also available in the model picker. Sol is now the Niteshift team's most used model.

• Grok 4.5 for Cursor: Upload your Cursor API key, then run Cursor agent tasks on SpaceXAI's Grok 4.5. The Niteshift team uses Grok 4.5 for interactive work where speed matters.

FIG · Grok 4.5 and GPT 5.6 are now available

UX Improvements

• The Autofix toggle now lives in the composer toolbar with clear On, Queued, and Fixing states. Reports lead with what actually happened, including replies posted, threads resolved, and checks fixed.

• Shared HTML pages no longer expire, and you can change a link's visibility between organization-only and public without changing its URL.

• Uploading an .env file now previews exactly which variables will be added, changed, or removed, and defaults to merging.

Bug Fixes

Features

FIG · A task spinning out three parallel sub-tasks through the built-in Niteshift MCP

• Niteshift MCP server: Connect that same Niteshift MCP server from your own terminal in Claude Code or Codex to create, schedule, monitor, and steer tasks from anywhere.

claude mcp add --transport http niteshift https://mcp.niteshift.dev/unstable
codex mcp add niteshift --url https://mcp.niteshift.dev/unstable

• Shareable HTML pages: Turn any HTML page the agent builds into a public link you can send to anyone, no login required. Revoke it at any time.

FIG · Sharing an HTML dashboard the agent built — with your org, or anyone with the link

• Claude Sonnet 5: Added the latest Sonnet model — pick Sonnet (latest) to roll forward to it automatically.

UX Improvements

UX Improvements

• The in-task model picker now lists the full Anthropic and OpenAI catalogs, not just the models the running agent reported.

• New automation schedules default to your local timezone and remember your last choice.

• Autofix now follows your single global preference everywhere — the separate per-Slack and per-Linear toggles are gone.

Bug Fixes

• Tasks that stop unexpectedly now recover automatically from your last pushed state — no more forking to continue.

Features

• Pin to the latest model: Choose a floating model like Opus 4.8 (latest) that rolls forward to the newest model in that family, or pin an exact version like Opus 4.7 that stays put.

FIG · Floating "latest" and pinned models in the model picker

UX Improvements

• Pinned tasks now sync across every device and browser, keeping the tasks you care about at the top of your sidebar wherever you sign in.

• Clicking an .html file the agent links in chat now opens the rendered page in an in-app browser, instead of dropping you into the raw source in the editor.

Bug Fixes

• Deleting a queued message now removes it instead of accidentally sending it, and queued messages no longer get stuck with the agent showing as perpetually busy.

Niteshift is now generally available — read the announcement.

Features

• Codex goals: Niteshift now supports Codex's /goal command. Set a persistent objective once and Codex keeps working toward it across turns — checking its own progress against real evidence like tests and logs instead of stopping after each reply.

FIG · Codex goal bar

• Account default model: Set a default model and reasoning effort once in Settings → AI Models, and Niteshift uses it everywhere a task starts without an explicit pick — GitHub @niteshiftdev mentions, autofix, Slack, and Linear.

Features

FIG · Dynamic workflows

• Shareable documents: Ask the agent to write something up with the /html-output skill — an architecture deep-dive, a research report, a PR explainer — and it produces a polished, self-contained HTML document. It opens right beside the conversation, and the link stays live to share after the task ends.

FIG · Shareable documents

UX Improvements
