🖥️ Bitrise Desktop App: What's new - browser picker, steadier sign in, and refining local directory project ux

The Bitrise Desktop App shows the live status of your builds right in your macOS menu bar. Push, keep working, and glance up. Here’s what we’ve shipped recently, newest first.

v1.2.0 — Open links in the browser of your choice :link:

You can now choose which browser the app opens links in. There’s a new browser picker in Settings → General, and once you set it, every link the app opens (builds, commits, pull requests, and notifications) goes to that browser instead of your system default. Handy if you keep your work logins in one browser and everything else in another.

v1.1.1 — Local-directory projects always show their name :label:

Projects you track by a local directory now always display their project name. Before, one of these projects could show its project slug instead of its name in the build list and in Settings → Projects, for example when it had no recent builds. Now it reads the way you’d expect, everywhere.

v1.1.0 — The app updates itself now :repeat_button:

No more checking for new versions or downloading a DMG. The Bitrise Desktop App now updates itself automatically, installing new releases in the background so you’re always on the latest without lifting a finger.


Update to the latest version to get all of these. Download the newest release here: Releases · bitrise-io/bitrise-desktop-app · GitHub
