Now

Niwa launches - a plant care checklist for the whole household, live on the web at niwa.i4c.studio, with an Android app on the way.

The host stops reading URLs out loud - links now land as cards in the chat in both voice and text mode, and the transcript keeps up with the conversation instead of stalling mid-way.

Five agents, one baseline - I4cTime and the product agents (Q, Proto, Cobble, Frost) gain evaluation criteria, attached tests, and guardrails, and their UI tools now run in the background so a mood or navigation change no longer costs a model round trip.

i4c.studio: a proper Contact page with per-channel blurbs, quick asks that open the host, and product support links; the chat rebuilt on HeroUI Pro with markdown replies and reactions; Docs & guides deep links on the project pages.

ProtonShift v1.2 - environment variables that reach every desktop session, a GE-Proton manager with verified installs, ProtonDB ratings per game, and profile export/import.

q-ring v0.18 - environment diff and promote as a CI gate, rotation reminders, recipient-encrypted teleport packs, and push targets for Fly, Railway, and Netlify. 46 MCP tools.

Cryo v0.4 - a per-mode CPU power cap (measured in-game: 96 to 87 °C), a fan curve editor with live charts, and a limited mode plus hardware verdict for machines the driver only half supports.

MineUI v2.5 - scheduled restarts, backups, and broadcasts; backup retention with off-box copies; player notes; and an append-only activity log. Fixes the NVIDIA + Wayland crash on Linux.

The free tools get a traction pass - conversion analytics on tanko, koyomi, and kataribe, a faster tanko hero and a Kindle Paperwhite 2024 profile, a CBZ/CBR explainer guide, and llms.txt on every studio property.

i4c.studio gets a host - I4cTime is now a permanent column beside the site: a guided tour on request, a docked conversation, and a studio floor that pulls the current focus and product releases live from GitHub.

Maintenance wave - ProtonShift v1.1.1 and MineUI v2.1.1 clear every open dependency advisory, and q-ring v0.17.6 makes canary values indistinguishable from real secrets under scan.

Cryo v0.3 - the telemetry release: dGPU power, clocks, and per-process VRAM on every tick, a state file the daemon owns, NVML recovery, and lighting re-applied after suspend. v0.3.1 follows with installer fixes.

Long-form guides land across the product sites - q-ring, ProtonShift, MineUI, Cryo, tanko, kataribe, and koyomi each gain a /guides section with deeper docs.

q-ring v0.17 - the watchtower release: behavior annotations on all 44 MCP tools, an airlock wrap policy with allow, deny, and approve lists plus rate limits, and per-agent session views in the audit chain.

Three free browser tools launch - tanko turns CBZ, CBR, PDF, and webtoons into e-reader EPUBs; kataribe builds chaptered M4B audiobooks from MP3s; koyomi converts CSV and Excel into calendar ICS files. All three run entirely in the browser.

q-ring v0.16 - the moat release: canary honeytokens that alarm on read, an airlock between your agent and third-party MCP servers, and per-agent attribution in the audit chain. v0.16.2 hardened it after a five-audit review.

Cryo v0.1 and v0.2 ship back to back - the frozen core, then the ecosystem release.

Cryo joins the product family - our Alienware m18 command center for Linux moves from personal tool to fifth studio product, with a site on the way.

One brand family, shipped - q-ring, ProtonShift v1.1.0, and MineUI v2.1.0 now share living sigil marks across their sites, app icons, and in-app logos.

q-ring v0.14 - a security-hardening release: project-bound approvals, a tamper-evident audit chain, and stricter exec profiles.

The I4C Studio Discord is open - one community server for every product.

Groundrules launched on Product Hunt - groundrules.dev is live.

MineUI v2.0 - rebuilt on Tauri v2 as a native Rust binary, with Simple mode running its own vanilla server. mineui.i4c.studio is live.

ProtonShift v1.0 - ground-up rewrite as a native Qt Quick (PySide6) app. The Electron shell is gone.

i4c.studio relaunched as the I4C Studio hub - tiered work showcase and per-product case studies.

Deathbell enters development: a Thief-like stealth-horror game built in Godot.

Prompt Awesomely is reborn as Groundrules - a visual studio for AI agent instruction files. groundrules.dev locked in.

q-ring v0.13.0 shipped via Homebrew.

The studio agent learned to read replies aloud - full-voice chat across the site.

ProtonShift v0.9.7 released.
