Version 3.7.0beta4 was built on June 18, 2026.

Changes since 3.7.0beta3:

Major New Features:
- Companion App: the new iOS app, iTerm2 Buddy,
  is now functional. Pair your Mac with your
  phone by scanning a QR code (iTerm2 >
  Companion Device Settings). Devices connect
  through a relay using end-to-end encryption, so
  they work even when the Mac and phone are on
  different networks, and end-to-end encryption
  ensures your data is visible only to you. From
  your phone you can interact with iTerm2 via AI
  chat.

New Features:
- New Lock Layout menu item (in the Window
  menu, next to Lock Size) that freezes a
  window’s layout: it prevents splitting,
  adding or closing tabs, reordering tabs,
  closing or dragging panes, and moving panes
  or tabs to other windows. Resizing panes,
  opening new windows, and closing the window
  still work.
- A new Variable Changed trigger match type
  fires when a named session variable changes
  to a value matching an optional regex.
- A process inspector popover was added to the
  Jobs view (toolbelt and status bar popover).
  Hover a row to see the full command as a
  tooltip, or press space to open a popover
  with the full command, process ID, start
  time, working directory, environment
  variables, and a list of open files and
  network connections.
- Chats in the AI chat list now get an icon
  drawn by your AI model from the chat title.
  Chats without one show a default icon. The
  prompt can be edited in Settings > General >
  AI > Prompts.
- You can @-mention terminal sessions in
  orchestration chats to bring them into the
  conversation.
- The Session Status tool can notify you when a
  watched session or window changes status. The
  alert offers a Reveal button that jumps to
  the session, and the same control is now
  available in the Cockpit and the Window menu.
- The Session Status tool can merge workgroup
  statuses, collapsing each workgroup into a
  single row that shows its highest-priority
  status.
- The Python API’s create_tab can now create a
  tab in the background. Set select_tab=false on
  CreateTabRequest to add a tab without
  selecting it or raising its window.
- App.async_apply_layout can now create
  brand-new sessions in place via new_session
  leaves, instead of only rearranging existing
  ones.
- A new window.title variable holds the
  rendered window title, alongside the existing
  session.presentationName and tab.title.

Improvements:
- The default AI request timeout was raised from
  30 seconds to 5 minutes.
- The AI command safety check now uses your
  configured AI model. It runs deterministic
  terminal rules first and only asks the model
  when those rules cannot decide. Because it can
  send commands to your (possibly cloud)
  provider, it is opt-in. Users who already
  enabled it keep using free on-device Apple
  Intelligence and are asked once whether to
  switch to their model.
- Auto-approved AI tool requests are now
  persisted instead of squelched, so they
  survive reloading a chat.
- AI models were updated. Support for Claude
  Opus 4 was removed and the latest models were
  added; temperature is omitted for Opus 4.7
  and newer.
- Orchestration chats auto-approve safe session
  spawns, render tool-call activity inline, and
  show @-prefixed session and workgroup ids as
  name links. AI chat now offers orchestration
  when there is no session to link.
- The Claude Code setup wizard has clearer
  navigation and highlighting.
- The code review overlay now defaults to the
  last-used prompt when reloaded.
- Workgroup peers are persisted and restored
  across app restarts. The peer switcher spins
  an activity indicator while a peer is working,
  and the Workgroups settings pane gained a help
  button.
- The Cockpit can watch statusless sessions by
  observing their screen, shows session detail
  under the name when grouping by status, and no
  longer dims when it loses key status.
- The Settings window title now shows the suite
  name when running a named instance.
- The Git diff menu excludes untracked files
  from its per-file statuses.
- Automatic text substitutions are now disabled
  in the AI chat input field.
- Auto-launched API scripts no longer warn about
  __pycache__ directories, and context menu
  items registered via the Python API are now
  sorted by display name for a stable order.

Bug Fixes:
- A key bound to “Bypass Terminal” now reaches
  macOS for function, arrow, and numeric-keypad
  keys, so global shortcuts in other apps work
  again. Issue 12884.
- A live filter no longer drops content that
  arrives while it is mid-search.
- A tab no longer shows a stale or missing
  session status when a pane carrying a status
  is closed, moved between tabs, or reparented
  (for example by entering or exiting a
  workgroup).
- Fold All and Clear Buffer no longer leave
  portholes behind.
- Copying selected text from a porthole now
  works in apps that prefer rich text, and
  clicking a porthole in an inactive split pane
  now activates that pane.
- Next Pane and Previous Pane work again while
  maximized after restarting a session.
- The grid and scroll view are now re-fit when
  entering or leaving instant replay.
- The Jobs toolbelt is now populated immediately
  for restored sessions.
- Installing or uninstalling the Claude Code
  integration now persists its trigger changes,
  so they are no longer lost on the next launch.
- Fixed a threading issue in AI chat streaming.
- Fixed several low-risk crashes seen in 3.6.10
  reports.
