What's new in Raven.

Let there be light.

Features

• Raven Pro — buy Pro through Stripe from Settings, and see your plan and its status on one row in Account.
• Design boards — frame names show on hover at any zoom, and "Mention in chat" drops a board reference straight into the tab's composer.
• Models — Claude Fable 5.1 joins the catalog, and newly released models show in the picker by default.

Fixes

• Claude sessions — background tasks are off, so a stray subagent can no longer end your turn with a false permission denial.
• Sketch cards — cards no longer flash when you switch spaces, and they settle at their final size on first paint.

Features

• Design tabs — a design tab is a board with its own conversation beside it, and a code tab is just the conversation; the Code/Design switcher is gone.
• Board handoff — every board keeps a context doc of its settled decisions, and Implement opens a code tab with the board and doc already in the composer.
• Connections — link a project to PostHog and Sentry, then ask about your analytics or errors and Raven answers with charts and issue cards in the chat.
• Sketches — type /sketch to get a few visual options rendered right in the chat, from any mode and any tab.

Fixes

• Slash menu — picking a command writes it into the composer, so you can add arguments or change your mind before sending.
• Codex failures — a failed Codex turn shows what actually went wrong, with a Retry button that works.

Features

• Duplicate a conversation — right-click any chat tab to copy the whole conversation into a new tab, a new space, or an isolated worktree space.

Fixes

• Simulator — a stuck simulator shows a spinner and a Retry now button instead of a black screen, and recovers faster on its own.
• Your place in the transcript — flipping between Code and Design keeps you where you were reading instead of dropping you at the bottom.
• Forking mid-turn — the fork menu stays available on finished responses while a turn is still streaming.

Features

• Codex agent tabs — open a Codex CLI tab alongside Claude, and every agent tab now shows when it's working or waiting on you.
• Boards the agent can see — Raven tells the agent which frames are in your view, so "this one" works and agent-written frames land where you're looking.
• Full-screen boards — fold the sidebars and header away to give a board the whole window.

Fixes

• Board thumbnails — frames sized to their content now show at their true proportions in chat cards and the board grid.

Features

• Sketches — ask for a visual option mid-conversation and Raven sketches a few right in the chat, click one to see it up close.
• Boards live with their conversation — a board and the chat that made it share one tab now, frames size to their content, and the agent can point you at any board, section, or frame.
• One way to reference anything — right-click any file, doc, or folder for Copy reference, and @-mention folders the same way you mention files.

Fixes

• Deliverable cards — a turn that writes to one board or plan repeatedly now shows a single card, and plan and doc cards say whether the file was created or updated.
• Board panning — the board takes wheel pan and zoom again after an interactive overlay closes.

Features

• Design sections — group a board's frames into sections: drag a frame in or out, move or resize a section as one object, and right-click anywhere for new frames and sections. Nothing ever rests on top of anything else — a dropped frame pushes itself clear. Ask for a multi-screen flow and Raven builds one frame per screen inside a section.
• Design and document tools — the agent writes and arranges designs, plans, and context docs through real tools now instead of raw file edits, so every write is checked before it lands and shows up as a card you can open — on Codex as well as Claude. Design craft and context-doc conventions load on demand as skills, in chat tabs and plain terminals alike.
• Unread tabs — a tab whose turn finishes while you're looking elsewhere keeps a dot until you open it, so a finished background conversation no longer disappears without a trace.

Fixes

• Expired sessions — Claude Code deletes its transcripts after 30 days, so a space left untouched that long used to fail on send with a raw error and then spiral on every retry. Raven now recognizes the state, marks the conversation dead, and offers to archive it.
• Interface fixes — the sidebar orders spaces by when they entered a status rather than by last activity, the new-space window closes after a background create, an image attachment's ✕ moved off the artwork, and the design canvas re-centers as the rail collapses.

Features

• Context docs — the agent knows about your context library now: ask it to write or update a context doc and it lands in .raven/context/ instead of plans/, and it can tell you whether a doc is set to Always or Mention-only.

Fixes

• Plans in Build mode — a plan saved in Build mode shows as a plan card with an Open plan button, instead of an ordinary file row.

Features

• Claude agent CLI tabs — run the Claude CLI in its own tab, with sessions Raven manages for you.
• Designs — design edits now surface as a canvas card in code tabs, so you can see what changed without leaving the code. Canvases and frames each have one name, used everywhere.
• Composer — press Esc twice on a bare turn to reopen your last message for editing.

Fixes

• Stopping and retrying — the stop button now ends the turn for real, and retry works even when the turn never got a session.
• Interface and setup — effort levels are selectable again in the model picker, compaction shows a labeled row instead of dead air, mention chips have proper spacing, and a failed space setup keeps your first message and its terminal instead of discarding them.

Features

• Design spaces — a canvas tab for visual work. Ask for a mockup and Raven builds it as live frames you can preview and interact with, browse from the designs hub, and @-reference in chat so the agent knows what you're looking at.
• Tab strip — drag tabs to reorder them, and press ⌘T for the new-tab menu with 1–5 to pick a substrate.
• Simulators — every iOS simulator is now provisioned and owned by Raven, so a space always gets the newest iPhone, and the serve helper heals itself instead of hanging.

Fixes

• Chat history — opening a space while it's still streaming no longer discards the conversation above.
• Terminal and environment — Cmd+A selects the buffer, copied text keeps its trimming, and Raven stops leaking a build variable into your shells and agent sessions where it broke tooling with a confusing binary mismatch.
