🎯 Features

Real-time Claude Activity Monitoring

• See Claude's live status directly in the VibeTunnel sidebar - Know exactly what Claude is "Thinking", "Crafting", or "Searching" with real-time progress indicators showing duration and token counts.
• Activity status persists across browser refreshes - Works seamlessly with external terminal sessions.
• Faster sidebar updates - Sidebar now refreshes every second (previously 3 seconds) for more responsive activity tracking.

Comprehensive Terminal Title Management

• Dynamic, context-aware terminal titles - Terminal windows display your current directory, running command, and live activity status.
• Choose your title mode - Select between static titles (path + command) or dynamic titles that include real-time activity indicators.
• Automatic directory tracking - Terminal titles update automatically when you change directories with cd commands.
• Session name integration - Custom session names are reflected in terminal titles for better organization.

🌏 International Input Support

• Fixed Japanese/CJK input duplication on iOS - Typing Japanese, Chinese, or Korean text on mobile browsers no longer produces duplicate characters. IME composition is now handled correctly.

⌨️ Enhanced Terminal Experience

• Shell aliases now work properly - Commands like claude, ll, and other custom aliases from your .zshrc/.bashrc are now recognized when launching terminals through VibeTunnel.
• Prevented recursive VibeTunnel sessions - Running vt inside a VibeTunnel session now shows a helpful error instead of creating confusing nested sessions.
• Fixed critical race condition in terminal output - Terminal sessions now handle high-volume output without corruption or out-of-order text.

• Mobile quick keyboard enhancement - Added dedicated Shift+Tab button (⇤) to the mobile keyboard for easy mode switching.
• Fixed keyboard input conflicts - Typing in Monaco Editor or other code editors no longer triggers unintended shortcuts.
