QuakeNotch 3.3 is here!

Hello, my amazing supporters and QuakeNotch users. I've just released QuakeNotch 3.3 with a brand new onboarding experience, QPilot user nickname, improved drag & drop on session tabs, Zsh fixes, and tons of polish. I'm excited and happy to introduce this update. 🥳

If you are coming from 3.2, this release focuses on four big things:

  • New Onboarding experience with guided walkthroughs
  • QPilot user nickname — give your AI assistant a cute name!
  • Better Drag & Drop on session tabs for smoother workflow
  • Zsh environment fixes and general polish

What's New with QuakeNotch 3.3?

1. A Brand New Onboarding Experience

I've added a beautiful new onboarding experience for first-time QuakeNotch users. It walks you through the core features — from opening your terminal to using QPilot — with smooth animations and helpful tips.

Whether you're a first-time user or just curious about what's new, the onboarding makes it easy to get started.

2. QPilot User Nickname

You can now give your QPilot assistant a custom nickname! It's a small thing, but it makes interacting with your AI feel more personal and fun. 🐾

3. Better Drag & Drop on Session Tabs

I've improved the drag & drop experience when switching between terminal session tabs. Dropping files across sessions is now smoother and more reliable.

4. Zsh Environment Fixes

Fixed an issue where ZDOTDIR wasn't being restored properly after QuakeNotch initialization. Also added an exec override to handle Zsh reloads correctly, so your QN script runs again as expected.


Bug Fixes & Polish

  • Fixed terminal names displaying correctly in the attach terminal selector
  • Fixed "Close Pane" not understanding which pane is focused
  • General polish and quality improvements throughout the app
