Daily · · Cline · 🌶️🌶️Worth a lookMedium: worth a look Why: New way to review edits
Cline Desktop shows what your agent changed
See every file your agent touched, right in Cline Desktop.
A new Changes button opens a pane listing the files changed in the last turn or across the whole session, with a diff of each.
The update also adds a project file tree, a built-in terminal and a Local Models page for Ollama and LM Studio.
What changed
Cline Desktop now tracks what the agent edited. It covers each turn and the whole session.
What’s new
- Changes: besides the file list and diffs, the button in the session header shows the session’s line counts.
- Project files panel: the folder button in the session header shows a file tree beside the conversation, with a read-only tabbed viewer, git status letters and a marker on files the session changed. Files the agent edited get a File/Diff toggle. It works on local and SSH environments.
- Terminal: an integrated terminal panel opens at the bottom of the window. Toggle it with Ctrl+backtick.
- Local Models: a new settings page manages Ollama and LM Studio models, with setup guidance, model details and storage, plus a composer chip showing how much memory the loaded model uses.
- Pull requests: PR status moved into a header button. Its menu shows the PR title, merge status and checks (failing checks first), and lets you open the PR on GitHub, create one, copy the branch name or refresh.
- Keybindings: you can change them in Settings. Quit can require holding the shortcut, 1 second by default on macOS, so it’s harder to quit by accident.
How to use it
When a turn finishes, a summary under it lists the files it changed. Click it to open the Changes pane on that turn, or press Changes in the header to see the whole session.
Heads-up
This release also brings Cline’s model catalog refresh: ClinePass now defaults to Kimi K3.1 Pro and 56 other providers get new default models. If you rely on a default, check which model you’re on.
