We're excited to announce a major architectural improvement to Atuin Desktop: a completely redesigned runbook execution engine.
This is a huge change, the first big step toward making runbooks a core automation primitive.
If you’ve ever hit flaky context, disappearing state, or inconsistent execution, this release fixes it. Runbooks now keep their state, behave predictably, and don’t require constant re-running just to get back to where you were. We're laying the foundation for enhanced real-time collaboration and CLI-based execution.
Runbooks should run. Workflows shouldn't live in someone's head. Docs shouldn't rot the moment you write them.
Atuin Desktop looks like a doc, but runs like your terminal. Built to make local developer workflows repeatable, shareable, and reliable. Download Atuin Desktop
