What's New in Penny

1.6.0

October 26, 2026

Run several AI sessions at once, and keep them going while you're away. • Sessions: each editor now has its own list of sessions. Start a new one from your phone, give it a task, and come back to it any time. • Keeps running: sessions continue on your computer when you leave the app, lose signal, or switch networks. When you reconnect, you catch up on everything you missed. • Live status: see which sessions are running, done, or need attention, with a live preview of what the AI is writing. • Rename and archive sessions to keep your list tidy. • Your chats are now saved on your phone, so they're still there when you reopen the app. • Stop a single session without affecting the others. • Faster, more reliable connection through our new servers.
