amenbo 1.3.0 — an inbox that only holds what is yours

Inbox @me now carries only the comments addressed to you, so the unread badge counts things that actually need you. List rows also reach all four statuses, and body options can read their text from stdin.

Hand a task to the AI and it reports as it works. Those reports no longer fill your inbox.

What changed

Inbox @me carries only what is addressed to you — a task you handed to the AI used to send every progress comment it wrote into your inbox, ringing the sidebar’s unread badge each time. Now only comments addressed to you enter it, so the badge count matches the number of things actually needing you. The reports are still there to read: open the task and read its timeline. And when the AI hands a task back — the assignment returns to you — it shows up in the inbox as before.
List rows reach all four statuses — landed in 1.2.0. The checkbox on each list row is gone, replaced by the same status control the board cards and the detail pane use. A checkbox has only two states, so it had to pick a landing status for you: unchecking a task that was In progress sent it back to To do, dropping the in-progress marker without saying so. The list, the board and the detail pane now all reach To do / In progress / Done / Blocked directly.
A body can come from standard input — on the command line, pass - to a body option such as --text or --notes and it reads the body from stdin. This matters when the body holds Markdown code spans: backticks on a command line are run by the shell, and the body arrives replaced by that command’s output. Sent on stdin, it arrives as written.

Getting it

Open the installer for your OS from the latest release. The GUI and CLI come together.

macOS — .pkg, one for Apple silicon and one for Intel (first open shows a Gatekeeper prompt: right-click → Open)
Windows — setup .exe
Linux — .deb / .rpm

To update, re-run the same installer. On 1.1 or 1.2, your next launch shows the “a newer version is available” prompt.
