Обновления Runlane: новые возможности и заметные изменения — свежее сверху.

  1. PlatformAIBilling

    A new home at runlane.run — and you pick the AI models now

    Runlane lives at runlane.run

    We moved to a proper home: runlane.run. Old links redirect automatically, so nothing breaks — just update your bookmarks. And since Runlane already speaks four languages, the devlog now follows suit: from this post on, it's written in English, and the older entries have been translated too.

    Top up AI credits by crypto

    AI credits now have a proper USD top-up rail: pick a package on the billing page and pay by card or with crypto — whichever is easier where you live. Credits land on your balance automatically as soon as the payment settles.

    Charges got fairer too: AI actions are now billed in fractional credits, down to a hundredth. A short assistant reply costs exactly what it costs — not a rounded-up whole credit.

    You choose the AI models

    There's a new Settings hub, and its AI models section puts you in control of the machinery:

    • A model per feature — pick which model powers the assistant, board reorganization, and the rest, each one separately. Prefer a fast cheap model for tidying and a smart one for chat? Go ahead.
    • Assignee matching is optional — if you'd rather AI never suggested assignees, switch it off in one toggle.

    Defaults stay sensible, so if you never open the page, everything works as before.

    Agent runs: see the diff, resume in one command

    The "Agent runs" dialog on a task card grew two things people asked for right away:

    • Changes tab — the actual diff of what the agent did in your repository, viewable right from the card;
    • Resume in terminal — a ready-to-copy command that continues the agent's session from where it stopped, with the same context.

    Delegating a task no longer means losing sight of what happened to your code.

    The assistant asks, attaches, and waits for your OK

    The board AI assistant learned to be interactive instead of guessing:

    • When it's missing information, it pauses and asks — you get a small quiz card right in the chat;
    • Before sensitive actions it waits for your approval;
    • It can now attach files to tasks: drop a file into the chat, and the assistant pins it to the right card.

    Also in this batch

    • Member avatars showed up in board menus and the new-task form — assigning by face is faster than by name.
    • The Telegram bot and notifications speak your language — the same one you use in the panel.
    • One account, however you sign in — Telegram and Google logins now land in the same Runlane account instead of creating twins.
    • The task context menu got smoother sliding panels, and the sprint bar picked up a round of polish.

    Local agents: delegate a task from the board straight into your Claude Code

    Local agents

    The biggest update this month — delegating tasks to a local agent. You can now hand a board card not to a person but to a CLI agent already installed on your machine: Claude Code or OpenAI's Codex. It opens the right project, reads the task and does the work — right in your repository, on your hardware.

    The glue is runlane-agent, a small local companion installed with a single command:

    npx runlane-agent
    

    It signs in to your Runlane account, listens to the board and, when you delegate a task, launches the right CLI agent for you. Keys and code never leave home: the agent uses your existing Claude Code or Codex login, works in your local folders and sends nothing anywhere — except run status back to the board.

    The important bits:

    • Two engines to choose from — Claude Code and Codex. Every task can carry a preset: model, effort level, file access mode and permissions.
    • A project per task — link a repository folder, and the agent decides whether to work in a separate worktree or in-place.
    • Run history — the card gets an "Agent runs" chip. Open it to see every run for the task: what happened and how it ended.
    • Session resume — if a run got interrupted, Runlane remembers the session_id, and you can continue with a single command from where it left off instead of starting over.
    • Clear error hints — not signed in, CLI missing, no permissions — the agent tells you exactly what to fix, tailored to the engine you picked.

    For now this is a desktop story — the agent lives on your machine and can start with the system. Connection and status live in your profile, in the agents section.

    The AI button is now two buttons

    There used to be a single AI button above the board with a dropdown — reaching the action you wanted meant opening the menu first, then picking an item. We split it into two separate buttons side by side, no popover:

    • "Tidy up" (the sparkle) — opens the board reorganization wizard: AI sorts cards into columns and brings order.
    • "Chat" (the robot) — opens the AI assistant you can simply talk to about the board.

    One action — one click. On a cramped mobile header both buttons collapse into icons, but the idea stays the same.

    The new glass design — everywhere

    Along the way, the whole app got a new visual language in the spirit of liquid glass: translucent surfaces, gradient borders, soft glows and a live shimmer on accent elements.

    Both AI buttons are, at heart, one glass base: a gradient outline, primary glow and an animated highlight. The same signature now shows on the landing page (the hero glow), on the pricing and billing pages, in the task card with its glass inserts, and in small touches everywhere — sliders, menus, panels. The app looks more cohesive and more premium while staying light.

  3. NavigationDesign

    Board sections moved to the sidebar

    The menu became a sidebar block

    Board sections used to hide in the "Board" dropdown above the columns. We moved them into the sidebar, into a "This board" block — it appears whenever a board is open, right above your profile at the bottom.

    Now within reach, no extra clicks:

    • Wiki — the board's pages and documentation;
    • Discussions — every task comment thread;
    • Analytics — completion charts, trends and leaderboards;
    • Archive — done and dismissed cards;
    • Settings — for those with the rights (not everyone sees it);
    • Start sprint — appears when there's no active sprint.

    Why

    The area above the columns got roomier, and sections stopped hiding behind an extra click — moving between the wiki, analytics and the board is now as fast as moving between boards themselves. When the sidebar is collapsed, everything stays available as icons with tooltips.

  4. WikiDiscussions

    Board wiki and discussions in one place

    Board wiki

    Every board now has a wiki — a home for documentation, agreements and notes that belong next to the board rather than inside a card. Pages form a tree, so you can keep things tidy: an onboarding section, guidelines, retros — whatever you need.

    Members with editor rights and above can edit pages; everyone else can read.

    All discussions in one panel

    Comments used to hide inside individual cards, and to figure out where the conversation was happening you had to open tasks one by one. Now there's a discussions panel: open it and you'll see every task where somebody wrote something.

    • Pick a task from the list — its chat opens right in the panel;
    • The "Go to task" button closes the panel, scrolls the board to the card and highlights it with a soft pulse;
    • The list stays put — one button always brings you back to it.

    Board conversations are finally visible as a whole, not in fragments.

  5. DesignOnboarding

    New themes and interface tips

    Nine themes now

    Rose, Aurora, Amber and Sakura joined the light and dark themes — nine palettes in total. Switch themes and tweak card contrast with the appearance button in the header.

    Tips now show what they talk about

    Some MtGlitch tips used to just sit in a corner. Now they highlight the exact element they describe and appear right next to it:

    • Themes — highlights the appearance button;
    • MCP — the menu item for connecting external AI agents;
    • AI assistant — the AI button on the board;
    • Sprints — the sprint bar above the columns;
    • Analytics — the Board menu.

    You can replay every tip from the MtGlitch dock in the bottom-right corner.

  6. Analytics

    Board analytics

    What's inside

    Open the Board → Analytics menu on any board. You'll find:

    • Completion charts — how many tasks are done and in progress;
    • Trends — how the numbers changed day by day;
    • Leaderboards — who closes tasks, and how many.

    Analytics are computed per board, so the numbers are always about that board — not the whole workspace at once.

  7. Tasks

    Task numbers and one-click duplication

    Task numbers

    Every task now gets a stable number like PREFIX-NNN — easy to reference in chats and commits, and it never changes when the card moves between columns.

    One-click duplication

    The card's context menu now lets you duplicate a task — with every field copied. Handy when you need to create several similar tasks in a row.
