What's new in Frink.

v0.0.8

OpenAI Codex, Flow pre-flight & batch runs

  • AddedOpenAI Codex joins Claude as a coding agent: connect it with a CLI login and pick it in any chat. The Codex CLI ships with Frink, so there is nothing to install, and your OpenAI key never touches Frink
  • AddedCodex models — GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and GPT-5.4 mini — are in the model and flow pickers, with adjustable reasoning effort, and per-file approvals show exactly which files an agent wants to touch
  • AddedGhost Run: rehearse a flow before it runs and catch problem nodes right on the canvas, each with a plain-English fix
  • AddedRun a flow over a batch of inputs, then re-run a finished batch in one click — retry only the runs that failed, from where they broke, or start the whole batch over
  • ImprovedThe sidebar and top navigation are redesigned to feel like a real app, calm at rest with labeled actions, status, relative timing, and split-view controls revealing as you need them
  • ImprovedOpen in New Pane opens a chat right beside the one you are in, replacing the old open-in-a-separate-window action
  • ImprovedA refreshed first-launch welcome with an animated 3D Frink mark, fully keyboard accessible
  • ImprovedThe integrations grid now shows only what you can connect today, with a clear note that more are on the way
  • ImprovedDragging files into the file tree from Finder is now announced to screen readers
  • FixedFlow chats interrupted by a restart can be resumed right from the chat instead of dead-ending
  • FixedAsk the chat agent to find or switch between your projects and it just works
  • FixedYour chats now run on the account they show, so the identity and reasoning panel always match what you picked
  • FixedArchived chats stay visible even when they live under a codebase, and long names in the picker wrap instead of getting cut off
  • FixedSidebar chat rows pulse to show when an agent is still working on a follow-up
