# May 2026

> Usage-based billing, Claude Code auto-approve mode, window persistence, Pipedream integration, and major performance and stability improvements

# May 2026 — Zenflow Updates

May was all about polish and platform stability. Zenflow shipped 2.1.5 through 2.2.1, bringing usage-based billing, Claude Code auto-approve mode, a major Electron upgrade, window state persistence, and dozens of UX and reliability fixes.

## New Features

### Usage-Based Billing in Zenflow

<Card title="Pay for What You Use" icon="credit-card" color="#F24A07">
  Native UBB support means clearer pricing, transparent usage, and a smoother sign-in flow.
</Card>

Zenflow now supports **usage-based billing** end-to-end — with onboarding that skips sign-in when you're already authenticated and a robust UBB API key fallback.

***

### Claude Code Auto-Approve Mode

<Card title="Hands-Free Agent Execution" icon="bolt" color="#10B981">
  Let Claude Code run end-to-end without pausing on every action.
</Card>

Zenflow now supports **Claude Code's auto-approve mode**, letting agents work uninterrupted on trusted workflows.

***

### Cross-Model Workflows Refresh

The cross-model pipeline was renamed to **Multi-model** (with a new icon) and the review panel was upgraded to better surface multi-model results. The old cost-effective pipeline naming is gone, replaced by clearer semantics.

***

### Window State Persistence

<Card title="Pick Up Where You Left Off" icon="window-restore" color="#9333EA">
  Zenflow now remembers your window size and position across restarts.
</Card>

A small but long-requested fix — Zenflow Desktop now persists window dimensions and position between sessions.

***

### Keyboard Shortcuts for Tabs

New shortcuts let you **close and re-open tabs** without leaving the keyboard.

***

### Engineering Manager Dashboard Automation

A new **Engineering Manager Dashboard** automation template ships out of the box — preconfigured to surface team-level activity, blockers, and progress.

***

### Pipedream Integration

The **Pipedream integration** is now available, connecting Zenflow to hundreds of third-party services through Pipedream's gateway.

***

### Plain-Text Paste

`Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V` now pastes as **plain text** in the prompt editor — useful when copying from rich-text sources.

***

### Reveal in Folder

A new **Reveal in Folder** action in the file editor opens any file in your system's file manager.

***

### Operation ID for ZenCLI

ZenCLI now surfaces its **operation ID** in the UI for easier debugging and support escalation.

***

### Slack Skill Enhancements

The Slack skill now supports **thread reading, channel reading, message shortcut context**, and a **message send action** via the `slack_bot` skill.

***

### File Link Parsing in Agent Responses

Zenflow Desktop now **parses file links** in agent responses, making them directly clickable to jump to the referenced location.

## Improvements

### Performance

* **Eliminated message-sending delay** so chat feels instant
* **Faster log streaming and storage**
* Fixed a crash on large command output
* Smoother performance during long-running sessions

### UI and UX

* **Dot indicator in chat history** to surface unread activity
* **Attachments persist** in the new task form across navigation
* **Chat input and inserted images persist** across reloads
* **Messenger connections** moved into the Zen Assistant header
* **Onboarding redesign** — project step and new-task screen updates, jobs screen checkboxes
* **Long file names truncated** in git panel diff rows
* **Expand file diffs on a single click** instead of two
* **No more caret jumping** when editing task title while agent runs
* **Stable task panel widths** — no layout shifts
* **New setting to disable the built-in browser**

### Reliability

* **Updates apply reliably** — fallback when the installer silently fails
* **CLI messages like "usage limit reached" now surface in the UI** instead of being hidden
* **Cloud session stays signed in** through transient auth errors
* **Retry with the agent** on Git hook commit errors
* **No more duplicate chats** when sending messages quickly
* **File explorer can read large files** — size limit removed
* **More stable execution lifecycle** for long-running tasks
