  v1.2.0 - 2026-08-09

  Breaking Changes

  • Config shape changed. See waycast.example.toml for new shape

  Added

  • Print resolved config serialized as toml with the waycast config command. If bat is available, it also prints it colored
  • UI: Added a "compact" variant of result item
  • UI: Item display variant and waycast window size are now configurable by the user

  Changed

  • UI: Nicer color scheme for UI

  Fixed

  • Fixed UI crashing when the "vscode" icon wasn't found. Caused by project scanning not being configured
  • Fix file search config not being loaded
  • Fix ~ not being expanded in paths from the waycast.toml config
  • UI: Fixed scrolling behavior when using the arrow keys to scroll result list

  Technical

  • Introduced new IconResolver to centralize icon resolution and fallback handling
  • Introduce a facade to more easily share domain logic between daemon and UI
  • Upgrade to iced 0.14

  This release marks a major refactor of Waycast

  Thank you to @xbazzi for helping get this across the line.

  Daemon Architecture

  App now runs a daemon which scans in the background and watches for new apps and projects,
  as opposed to the previous way of just scanning everything every time waycast was invoked.

  Async

  The initial version of waycast used no async to keep it simple. Now we use the tokio
  runtime so we can run scans and other tasks concurrently. This was also necessary to
  use SQLX for the database.

  Database (SQLite)

  We now use SQLite as a data store. On every scan, the database gets updated with all the
  apps, projects, and files we scan. This gives us more flexibility since we now have a data
  store that we can query, as opposed to just holding everything in memory.

  Additionally, if the daemon has a failure when scanning, we can still show data in the UI,
  even if stale.

  The original version of waycast used redb as a key value store for caching. Since we now
  have SQLite, we just have a cache table instead. No need for a whole separate dependency
  for just story key:value pairs.

  Logging

  We're now using the tracing library for logging. This is a standard in rust. Since we now
  have a background process we need better visibility into the daemon's operations.

  You can now see waycast daemon logs with standard tools like journalctl.
