Projects Cockpit: health, packages, and log issues

In-app update

v1.0.12 · 2026-08-04

Projects Cockpit now opens with a read-only Laravel health snapshot, checks untracked packages against public registries, and turns Laravel logs into filterable recurring issues with recent occurrences.

  • Packages now automatically check public registry versions for packages outside the LaraBench catalog, so their updates can contribute to the same major, minor, and up-to-date totals.
  • Health is the first Cockpit view. It checks runtime, database connectivity, migrations, safety settings, and Laravel cache state without changing the selected application.
  • The new Issues view reads Laravel logs from local, SSH, and Docker connections, groups repeated failures into one issue, and shows counts plus first and last seen times.
  • Choose Errors, Warnings, Info, or All to focus the Issues view on one severity group at a time.
  • Expand an issue to browse its latest occurrences from the scan, then open an occurrence to read its full log entry on demand.

Developer Profile for personalized Laravel job matching

In-app update

v0.1.11 · 2026-07-27

LaraBench now has a Developer Profile page and a profile MCP tool, so AI clients can read your saved technologies, preferences, and experience before searching for Laravel jobs that fit you.

  • The new Developer Profile page lets developers save their technologies, years of experience, work preferences, seniority, location, salary expectations, and short bio once.
  • LaraBench MCP now exposes `get_developer_profile`, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients can read the saved profile when helping with job searches.
  • AI clients can combine the profile tool with `search_laravel_jobs` to reconcile your preferred technologies and preferences against the current LaraBench jobs vocabulary, then search for better-matching Laravel roles.
  • The profile keeps matching context out of prompts you have to rewrite every time, while still letting the jobs search tool receive explicit filters.

Laravel news, AI news search, and Projects Cockpit

In-app update

v0.1.10 · 2026-07-25

LaraBench now brings Laravel news and package releases into the website and desktop app, adds a news search MCP tool, and introduces Projects Cockpit for checking package updates in local projects.

  • The new News page collects Laravel articles and ecosystem package releases in one place, with filters for news, releases, projects, sources, and release channels.
  • The desktop app now has its own News reader, so you can follow Laravel ecosystem updates without leaving LaraBench.
  • MCP clients now get `search_laravel_news`, matching the jobs search access model: free searches cover the last 7 days, while Premium extends the window to the last 3 months.
  • Projects Cockpit scans local Composer and npm lockfiles, matches public package names against LaraBench's database, shows major/minor/up-to-date/not-tracked counts, and opens release-history modals for tracked packages.

Laravel jobs in the app, on the web, and through MCP

In-app update

v0.1.9 · 2026-07-24

LaraBench now has a Laravel jobs portal on the website, a Jobs page in the desktop app, and an MCP jobs search tool for Codex, Claude, Cursor, and similar clients.

  • The website now publishes a dedicated Laravel jobs portal with filters for stack, source, seniority, work arrangement, country, and posted date.
  • The desktop app now includes a Jobs page that browses the LaraBench jobs feed without leaving the app.
  • LaraBench MCP now exposes Laravel jobs search, with free searches covering the last 7 days and Premium extending that window to the last 3 months.
  • Account, MCP, and jobs surfaces picked up follow-up polish so the new jobs and AI workflow is easier to discover.

Connect Claude, Codex, and Cursor to your Laravel projects

In-app update

v0.1.8 · 2026-07-22

LaraBench can now act as an MCP server, so AI tools can read your connections, library, history, and logs, and run code in your app, without you copying anything back and forth.

  • A new MCP Server page lists every tool AI clients can use, and sets up Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor in one click. Codex gets a command to copy, because it stores its servers differently.
  • Reading your connections, saved snippets, run history, and logs is free on any plan. Running code and saving snippets need Premium.
  • Production connections are hidden from AI tools until you opt them in, and every other connection runs with writes suppressed unless you say otherwise.
  • A write against production stops and waits for you to approve it in LaraBench, and every run an AI tool makes is recorded in History with an AI badge.

Download and install updates from inside the app

In-app update

v0.1.7 · 2026-07-21

LaraBench can now download and install a new version itself on macOS and Linux, with a progress bar, instead of sending you to the website to do it by hand.

  • When a new version is available, the update notice and Settings can download it in place and show download progress, then restart LaraBench to finish installing.
  • If an update cannot be applied automatically, LaraBench falls back to the website download page with the reason shown.
  • Windows continues to update through the Microsoft Store, which handles Windows updates on its own.

Free query analysis: duplicates, possible N+1, and slow queries

In-app update

v0.1.6 · 2026-07-21

The Queries panel now flags duplicate queries, possible N+1 patterns, and slow queries after every Tinker run, with a full breakdown one click away.

  • Run Code's Queries panel now analyzes every run for duplicate queries, possible N+1 patterns, and slow queries. A quiet "Query Analysis" link turns into a warning the moment it finds something.
  • The full breakdown opens in a dialog: duplicate queries grouped by repeat count, possible N+1 candidates named by table, and slow queries ranked by their share of total run time.
  • Query analysis runs on every Tinker snippet for free, with no Premium requirement.
  • Minor tooltip alignment fixes for toolbar buttons near the edge of the Run Code, Batch Runs, and Benchmark toolbars.

Workspace refresh for Run Code, Batch Runs, and Benchmark

In-app update

v0.1.5 · 2026-07-18

Run Code, Batch Runs, and Benchmark now share a cleaner workspace layout, better split and stacked panes, and a round of flow and results polish.

  • Run Code, Batch Runs, and Benchmark now use a more consistent toolbar layout, split view, and stacked view so the workspace feels the same across all three tools.
  • Batch Runs now collects placeholder values in a dedicated modal before the run starts, keeping the editor focused on the template itself.
  • Benchmark controls move into a cleaner settings flow, with tighter summary cards, cleaner results presentation, and a simplified share/export area.
  • Running and empty-result states now better match the active theme, and pane dividers, grips, spacing, and output surfaces were polished across the workspace.

Batch Runs value fields and visual polish

In-app update

v0.1.4 · 2026-07-16

Batch Runs now uses one labeled field per placeholder instead of a single values textarea, and Run Code, Benchmark, and Batch Runs pick up matching output styling and a round of layout fixes.

  • Batch Runs values now show one labeled field per {placeholder} detected in your snippet or command, instead of a single free-text area.
  • Run Code, Benchmark, and Batch Runs empty-output placeholders now match the active editor theme's background, border, and text color.
  • Fixed the Benchmark and Batch Runs summary cards (Progress, Succeeded, Failed, Current) not laying out in a grid.
  • Various spacing, sizing, and color polish across Run Code, Benchmark, and Batch Runs toolbars and buttons.

Template placeholders and Premium Batch Runs

In-app update

v0.1.3 · 2026-07-13

Run Code now supports fill-in placeholder templates, and Premium Batch Runs can run Tinker snippets or Artisan commands across named value lists with per-row results, retry, stop, and exports.

  • Run Code detects {placeholders} in Tinker snippets and Artisan commands, prompts for values, and safely substitutes string values before execution.
  • Premium Batch Runs adds a dedicated page for running templates across named comma-separated value lists, including multiple placeholders such as id and name.
  • Batch results show each row status, duration, exit code, and output preview, with stop-after-current and retry-incomplete controls.
  • Batch result tables can be exported as CSV, Markdown, or JSON for handoff notes, audits, and follow-up work.

Cloud sync, saved-item organization, and Settings controls

In-app update

v0.1.2 · 2026-07-11

Premium cloud sync now runs automatically for saved snippets, saved commands, optional run history, and custom themes. Saved items gain folders, tags, and pinning, and sync controls move into Settings.

  • Premium members get automatic sync for saved snippets, saved Artisan commands, optional run history, and custom themes through the LaraBench account API.
  • Saved items now support folders, tags, pinning, and clearer default names so reusable snippets are easier to find.
  • Run history labels now prefer saved item names and clearer mode labels instead of raw snippet fragments.
  • Cloud sync controls now live in Settings, with Free accounts seeing the same locked Premium treatment as custom themes.

Release updates, privacy policy and install telemetry

In-app update

v0.1.1 · 2026-07-10

Versioned downloads and release notes, an in-app update notice, and a privacy policy that spells out the small amount of anonymous install data the app reports.

  • Download buttons now show the current version for macOS and Windows, and release notes are published on the Releases page.
  • The desktop app can check for new releases and show a dismissible update notice when one is available.
  • The app reports anonymous install-level telemetry: app version, platform, and similar coarse details. No code, paths, or queries are ever sent.
  • A privacy policy is now published, separating website analytics from desktop-app telemetry.
