Changelog

What each release of the sesame-link CLI changes. Run sesame-link update to install the latest release.

v0.1.34 — 2026-10-18

Improved

When a Codex session can’t take a message right now, it says nothing was sent and what helps: waiting a minute, forking the session, or restarting Sesame Link.
On macOS, Login Items in System Settings can list Sesame Link by name with its icon, instead of “Sesame AI, Inc.”, when the menu-bar app is installed.

Fixed

A Codex session no longer refuses every message until Sesame Link restarts after an earlier message’s outcome was unclear; it recovers once the thread shows what happened.
A fork of a compacted Claude Code conversation no longer holds every message after its first. Start a new fork to replace one that is already stuck.

v0.1.33 — 2026-10-12

New

You can fork a conversation into a new session, optionally on another model and in a new Git worktree, leaving the original untouched.
Forks can start from an idle Claude Code or Pi session, a Codex session at any finished turn, an ended session, or a conversation you had outside Sesame Link.
Forks need Claude Code 2.1.296, Pi 1.0.2, or Codex 0.154.0 or newer.

Improved

sesame-link restart now also restarts Codex after you install a new Codex release, so features that need it, such as Codex forks, turn on.
sesame-link diagnostics no longer overwrites an existing file; move it aside or pass another --output.

Fixed

Messages no longer stay unconfirmed or hold later messages after you submit them yourself in a busy Claude Code session.
Messages reach Claude Code more reliably while Claude has queued messages or has just compacted its context.
A fork’s first message no longer stays listed as queued after it appears.
Workflow agents that were stopped, paused, or cut short are no longer listed as still working.
sesame-link uninstall right after stop no longer occasionally fails with “Couldn’t keep Sesame Link stopped”.
Session folders and slash commands are handled more safely.

Staff preview

Cursor sessions say to run agent login when the Cursor CLI is logged out, in sesame-link status, the New session dialog, and at start.
Cursor Plan mode shows the “Ready to build?” prompt as waiting on the terminal, and later messages are delivered after a plan you didn’t build.
Only the terminal can trust a Cursor workspace; remote clients can’t answer that prompt.

v0.1.32 — 2026-10-11

Improved

When image storage fills up, new uploads replace the oldest images already sent instead of being refused; removed images stay in the message history, marked as removed.

Fixed

sesame-link update no longer hangs on a build that doesn’t answer --version; it gives up, reports why, and keeps the installed build.

v0.1.31 — 2026-10-10

Action needed: Remote updates are now on by default, so browsers you link can update Sesame Link without asking. Turn them off with sesame-link config remote-update off.

New

sesame-link auth login fills in the sign-in code for you and starts Sesame Link as soon as you’re signed in.
Remote clients can show which sessions have unread results, even when no browser is connected.
sesame-link --help and the menu-bar app link to the public issue tracker at https://github.com/SesameAILabs/link/issues.

Improved

Sign-in and pairing codes are bold instead of reversed, so selecting one to copy it is visible.

Fixed

Messages reach Claude Code sessions in more layouts, including don’t-ask mode, custom status lines, and narrow panes.
Messages no longer get stuck unsent after a browser terminal opens on a Claude Code session.
A Codex error that Codex won’t retry no longer leaves the session refusing new messages.
On macOS, sesame-link restart and start no longer fail with “Bootstrap failed: 5” while the previous Sesame Link is still exiting.

Removed

Sessions Sesame Link starts keep Claude Code’s screen-reader mode off, and --ax-screen-reader is no longer accepted.

Staff preview

Cursor sessions can start with Auto-review or Run Everything; Run Everything needs "run_everything" in allowed_cursor_approval_modes in remote-access.json.
Messages reach Cursor sessions in Auto-review and Run Everything modes, and when the branch has a pull request open.
Remote clients can answer Cursor’s command prompts after the agent has edited files.
Cursor sessions list their pull requests and can name themselves.

v0.1.30 — 2026-10-08

Fixed

Messages reach Claude Code sessions again when ultracode is on.
Herdr tabs Sesame Link opens now close when their session ends.

Staff preview

sesame-link cursor starts Cursor as a Sesame Link session that remote clients can start, message, and interrupt.
allowed_remote_runtimes in remote-access.json limits which tools remote clients can start sessions with.

v0.1.29 — 2026-10-08

New

Sesame Link works with Herdr: /open-sesame continues in the same pane, sessions show their state in Herdr, and new sessions open as background Herdr tabs while Herdr is open.
sesame-link config claude-mod on delivers remote messages through a Claude Code mod on Claude Code 2.1.293 or later. Off by default.
Update notices link straight to the new version’s changelog entry.

Improved

sesame-link start keeps your CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, so sessions use that configuration and sign-in.
Remote clients show the Claude Code, Codex, or Pi version each session actually runs.
On macOS, restarting works better with Apple Terminal.

v0.1.28 — 2026-10-07

New

Send PNG and JPEG images to Claude Code, Codex, and image-capable Pi models.
Install Sesame Link with only Pi installed; Pi sessions need tmux 3.4 or newer.
sesame-link status --json --watch follows connection changes as they happen.

Improved

Setup no longer offers Claude Code commands on computers without Claude Code.
--open-terminal opens new session tabs without taking focus from what you’re using.

Fixed

Remote messages no longer stay queued after a Claude Code subagent finishes.

v0.1.27 — 2026-10-06

Action needed: Run sesame-link auth login once after upgrading. Approving pairings and links, or removing a machine, may now ask you to sign in again first.

New

Sesame Link remembers whether it was running across restarts and starts at login through your service manager.
Browser terminal access can open a shell in the session’s folder; it closes with its browser panel.

Improved

The web app moved to https://link.sesame.com.
Error messages are in plain language and name the command to run next.
sesame-link sessions describes each state in words, such as “waiting” or “needs attention”.
Sesame Link finds Claude Code, Codex, Pi, tmux, and your other tools even when your login shell is slow.
The saved login renews itself; if a command says it was used elsewhere, sign in again.
Removing a Codex session closes its terminal, and sesame-link uninstall also stops Codex’s server.
Browser terminals send every key to the session and no longer show tmux’s status line.
Remote clients get a fairer share of resources, and long sessions or huge output no longer slow Sesame Link down.

Fixed

Sessions keep accepting messages after one joins a running Claude turn, and quick messages keep their order.
A session refuses to start in a folder it can’t read, such as Documents over SSH, and says how to grant access.
Attaching works from terminals this computer doesn’t know, such as Ghostty or kitty over SSH.
machine approve, machine deny, machine revoke, and connect approve work again.
Terminals no longer show select-pane ... returned 127 after a remote message.
sessions attach attaches only to the session it names.
On Ubuntu, new sessions open in the desktop terminal, including over SSH.
Pull requests opened with a heredoc description now show up on their session.
Installs and updates work with BusyBox unzip.

Removed

sesame-link connect web no longer opens the web app; auth login already signs your browser in.

v0.1.26 — 2026-10-04

New

sesame-link update verifies the release’s signature itself before installing. The first update checked this way is the one after this release.
Browsers you link can update Sesame Link; you’ll be asked once whether to allow it.
sesame-link config lists and changes this computer’s settings. sesame-link error-reporting is now sesame-link config error-reporting.
Remote clients can run /compact, /clear, /context, and /reload-skills in Claude Code sessions; change the list with allowed_remote_slash_commands in remote-access.json.
Sessions list the GitHub pull requests they open or push to; turn lookups off with sesame-link config pull-requests off.
Session histories include the model’s thinking where available; turn it off with sesame-link config thinking off.

Improved

Sessions find the same node, python, and other tools as your terminal.
Pi sessions run stock Pi, with model and thinking choices, /compact, and streamed replies.
The installer accepts SESAME_LINK_ENVIRONMENT=staging.
Sesame Link uses less of your computer’s resources.
The web app starts new sessions on your last computer and runtime and works better on phones.

Fixed

Queued messages no longer get stuck after a local Claude Code command such as /mcp.

Removed

The experimental Ghostty backend for Claude sessions; Ghostty tabs still work.
sesame-link account bootstrap, account import, account rotate, and --account-credential-file.

Staff preview

Open a session’s terminal in the web app after sesame-link config terminal-access on.

v0.1.25 — 2026-10-02

New

Clients approved with sesame-link connect reach only the machine that started the link; use --all-machines or --machine for more, and --expires-in-hours to limit access. Clients approved earlier keep the reach they were given.
sesame-link sessions is an interactive list you can browse, filter, and attach from.
restart and update offer to restart Codex when it runs an older build.

Improved

New

New installations connect to production by default; existing installations keep their environment.
sesame-link with no command shows a welcome screen with this computer’s state and next steps.

Improved

Errors lead with what failed and the command to run.
Codex installed with npm is supported.

Fixed

Messages to Claude Code sessions with background tasks no longer stop for review.
Stopped subagents and ending sessions no longer show as working.
Codex sessions stay usable through brief terminal check failures.

v0.1.23 — 2026-09-30

New

Answer Codex permission requests and questions, MCP forms, and Codex app approvals from a remote client. Some request types still need the terminal.

Improved

Agents no longer repeat their final answer in a tool call; restart running sessions to pick this up.

v0.1.22 — 2026-09-30

New

macOS binaries are signed with Sesame’s Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The Linux binary is still unsigned.
sesame-link codex starts Codex as a Sesame Link session.

Improved

Fixed

Codex sessions start again with Codex 0.157 and later.

v0.1.21 — 2026-09-29

New

Sign in once with sesame-link auth login; auth status and auth logout manage it.

Ending a session keeps its history.
With --open-terminal set to Ghostty or iTerm, new tabs open in your Sesame Link window.

Fixed

Sesame Link notices when Claude Code is logged out and tells you to run claude /login.
Messages sent during a Codex turn go into that turn, as they do for Claude.
