Roadmap

What's shipped, what's in progress, and what's next.

Pulled from the app's own release notes, not a vote count sitting at a number that never moves. If something here matters to you, or you want to see something that isn't, email us — see the bottom of this page.

v1.1.0 Shipped

September 2026

Velo Workspaces is now free to download. Anyone who already owns it keeps everything they paid for, permanently, at no further cost — nothing to restore, nothing to sign up for. New users can create and run as many Linux and macOS workspaces as they like for free, with the console, shared folders, SSH, the VS Code Remote helper, and diagnostics export all included.

Velo Workspaces Pro adds five things — AI Bridge, restore points, disposable workspaces, base images, and Rosetta — for $3.99/month, $24.99/year, or $79.99 once for life, with a free week to try it. Pro gates creating new things; it never revokes access to what you already have. If a subscription ends, existing workspaces still start, restore points still restore, and base images still work. See the full breakdown on the pricing section.

  • Diagnostics now opens in its own window, like Preferences
  • Support and Feedback moved into the sidebar; the Help menu opens the support page in your language
  • Fixed shared folders occasionally coming back in a different order after a relaunch
  • Fixed CPU usage not updating in the Overview and Resources tabs

v1.0.1 Shipped

AI Bridge provider fixes and a real stability fix. Previously, every workspace forwarded its AI Bridge traffic to Ollama's default port (11434) no matter which provider was actually selected — if you ran MLX or llama-server on 8080, requests from the workspace arrived at a port with nothing listening. The bridge now forwards to the port the selected provider actually serves, and switching providers applies immediately, without a restart.

Also fixed: a real crash. An AI Bridge connection that closed while data was still in flight — a cancelled generation, a client timing out, a benchmark saturating the channel — could take the whole app down, along with every running workspace. Rare in ordinary use (a thousand consecutive streamed completions never triggered it), but a cancelled transfer reproduced it reliably.

  • Host provider is now selectable for disposable workspaces, at creation — the only moment it can be set before the workspace deletes itself
  • Typed CPU, memory, or storage values in Advanced Settings are no longer discarded if the cursor was still in the field
  • Lower latency on the AI Bridge connection to the inference server
  • Clearer diagnostics: logs now show both the channel port a workspace dials and the host port its traffic forwards to

In progress

Actively being built. No committed release date — this section updates when that changes, not on a schedule.

NoCloud cidata seed for cloud and raw images In progress

Today, the official-image picker downloads a distro's installer ISO and boots it — you go through that distro's normal interactive install yourself. That's fine for an ISO, but it doesn't help with a cloud or raw disk image, which expects a small labeled seed volume (user-data and meta-data, the NoCloud cidata convention cloud-init looks for) to create an account on first boot — without it, a cloud image has no way to know what username or password to set up, which is exactly the failure mode behind trying a Debian 13 nocloud raw image today.

The plan: build that seed volume locally (a small ISO9660 image containing the two files you configure) and attach it the same way the app already attaches an installer ISO — as a read-only virtual storage device, a mechanism that already exists for every Linux workspace. A cloud image with a seed attached boots straight to a working login in seconds, instead of requiring a full interactive install.

Planned

Not yet started. Order isn't a commitment — it's roughly the order we'd expect to get to them.

Guest OS auto-install Planned

Unattended installs for Ubuntu (autoinstall), Debian (preseed), and Fedora (kickstart) — automating the interactive installer itself, for scripted, repeatable provisioning. Builds on the same seed-volume mechanism as the NoCloud work above, extended to three distro-specific answer-file formats.

Scriptable workspace creation Planned

A custom URL scheme (veloworkspaces://create?...), invokable from any shell via open — triggering workspace actions from a script or a CI step without a new installed binary or a sandbox exception.

Shortcuts app / App Intents Planned

Native macOS Shortcuts support for common workspace actions, so they compose into your own automations without needing a terminal at all.
