Changelog

June 2026: screen context, continuous voice, and Focus

June brought selected-text and screenshot handoffs, continuous voice conversations, desktop actions, and new ways to view agent work.

June 1, 2026 — Canvas controls and desktop setup fixes

Added a canvas context menu and improved frame zoom and layout. Desktop setup received fixes for narration, permission handoffs, and revealing the demonstration taskboard.

Packaged voice resources were updated, the workspace stays below the macOS menu bar, and agent runtime update notifications are limited per session.

June 2, 2026 — Model choices and more visible permission guidance

Updated the Claude and Codex model menus and corrected model-picker refresh behavior. Intel Macs use the macOS system voice for agent speech.

Permission guidance stays visible while opening System Settings, and cursor targets account for display and menu-bar positioning. Fixed links in frames and GitHub-frame snapshot data.

June 3, 2026 — Read-aloud fixes for Intel Macs

Improved macOS voice selection on Intel Macs, with guidance for downloading higher-quality system voices. Corrected voice speed and clipped opening words.

Read-aloud cancellation, speech chunking, and the ordering of onboarding narration received fixes, including duplicate streamed speech at the end of a reply.

June 4, 2026 — Actionable dictation errors and app activation

Intel dictation failures now show an actionable Dictation is off card. Updated system-voice playback and fixed bringing Denker's app menu into focus when entering the workspace.

June 5, 2026 — A transparent desktop workspace

Added transparent Denk mode with workspace preview, agent frame visibility controls, and a tray toggle for agent peeks. Added agent tools for inspecting desktop windows and presenting work with screen context.

Notes received fixes for live dictation insertion and toolbar behavior. Fit View tidies frames before fitting them, and frame resizing and double-click navigation were corrected.

June 9, 2026 — Desktop actions and glass workspace surfaces

Agents gained desktop actions for finding and opening apps, pasting text into a focused field, and searching, moving, or renaming files. These actions use the desktop's permission checks and target information.

Added screen-area pointing and screenshots, native glass workspace surfaces, and updated compact project and agent controls. Permission errors from window automation are surfaced to the user.

June 10, 2026 — Update notifications and easier hotkey timing

Desktop update checks now follow the release channel, recheck when the app regains focus, and receive pushed update notifications with an installation flow.

Double-tap shortcuts gained a wider timing window, and compact input visibility was corrected. Frame loading and glass updates received fixes to reduce flashes when entering the workspace.

June 11, 2026 — Bring selected text and a screenshot into a prompt

Summoning Denker can capture selected text from the active app and prefill it as a quote. For supported visual models, a screenshot is attached with a visible, removable thumbnail before you send the prompt.

Workspace controls, settings, notifications, and agent replies received a shared glass treatment. Display-safe placement, window bounds, and glass positioning during movement were updated.

Agent and session menus can be dismissed with Escape or an outside click. Added an About Denker entry in the tray menu.

June 12, 2026 — Focus and review work inside the workspace

Focus and Review now present frames within the workspace, with keyboard navigation and frame controls revealed on hover. The left rail compresses to accommodate more frames.

Canceling a task returns it to the backlog, and scheduled agent work picks up only tasks marked To Do. Agents can create notes when explicitly requested.

Browser sign-in now hands you off to the Mac desktop app; other platforms see availability guidance. Added browser-tab discovery for agents and shortcuts to interrupt or stop read-aloud speech.

June 13, 2026 — Web workspace maintenance

Released a maintenance update for the web workspace. Mac rendering improvements followed in the June 14 update below.

June 14, 2026 — Intel rendering, voice permissions, and glass controls

Updated the Intel Mac rendering path and added a Glass Off setting. Fixed note dictation controls, permission prompts after voice failures, and restoring desktop mode after review.

Updated connected-app setup and its authorization handoff through the Mac app.

June 15, 2026 — Keep dictated text after pauses and present on the right display

Fixed speech transcripts losing earlier text after a pause. Agent-created frames now use the intended display, with frame creation separated from presenting the frame.

Published the Peerlist launch article and linked newsletter demonstrations to audio playback.

June 16, 2026 — Long dictation and consistent Focus sizing

Fixed long dictation being reduced to its final sentence and corrected live partial transcripts in notes and agent prompts. Intel frame rendering and the menu and tray workspace toggle received updates.

Agent-presented frames now use the same sizing as Focus views, making the transition between presenting and reviewing work more consistent.

June 18, 2026 — Lighter conversations and voice recovery

Introduced a lighter chat startup path that loads agent capabilities as needed. Fixed conversation history truncation and retaining assistant replies that contain activity without message text.

Updated dictation recognition and recovery, corrected repeated read-aloud playback, and improved the ordering of spoken final replies. The desktop runtime can recover its connection after macOS sleep.

Screen-grounded agent pointing received coordinate fixes across desktop displays, and note dictation preserves completed text segments.

June 19, 2026 — Paste replies into the intended app

Reply paste preserves the original dictation target, reports missing Accessibility permission, and received fixes for screenshot timing and click-through behavior.

Improved voice transcript display, final speech ordering, and agent dock visibility. Project switches now pass the updated project context to agents.

June 21, 2026 — Keep the agent's screen pointer in place

Fixed persistence of a screen point presented by an agent, so the indicated location remains available during the reply.

June 22, 2026 — Continuous voice conversations

Added continuous voice mode with listening, speaking, and handoff states. Spoken controls such as send it, stop talking, and stop listening can submit a prompt, interrupt speech, or end listening.

Added filtering for the agent's own speech to reduce echo-triggered turns, including across displays. Voice interruptions and prompt dispatch timing received fixes, and continuous voice prompts can be routed to Codex.

June 23, 2026 — Updated connected-app setup and voice replies

Connected apps gain an updated sign-in flow and a catalogue you can browse across pages. Repeated Connected notifications were fixed.

Voice replies can answer a pending agent question. Fixed preserving voice handoffs, recognizing spoken interruptions, and keeping tidied frame positions.

June 24, 2026 — Desktop sign-in and fresh-install fixes

Fixed desktop sign-in stalling when the cursor leaves Denker during the handoff. The bundled OpenCode demonstration was corrected for fresh installations, and connected-app action names are normalized before lookup.

June 29, 2026 — Conversation and terminal frames

Added conversation frames for agent sessions, including streamed replies and recovered history. Added live, resizable terminal frames with controls that keep terminal interaction separate from dragging the frame.

Focus views can tile and accumulate opened frames, with fixes for snapping, frame geometry, and returning to a conversation. Search links, frame links, and frame copy actions received improvements.

Memory graph details open in the right panel, comment popovers can be resized, and the task calendar supports continuous scrolling. Workspace switching and fitting frames received further layout fixes.

June 30, 2026 — A simpler Home switcher and steadier Focus layouts

Simplified the Home space switcher and refined its project, session, and update controls. Conversation frames stay in Focus splits, and removing a frame no longer disrupts the split layout.

Corrected HTML-frame theme synchronization, frame movement feedback, and note and terminal placement. Text prompts no longer automatically open a conversation frame.
