⬇️ Downloads

Platform	File	Notes
Windows	CatGo_1.4.1_x64-setup.exe (recommended) or .msi	the -setup.exe also puts the catgo CLI on PATH
macOS (Apple Silicon)	CatGo_1.4.1_aarch64.dmg	Developer-ID signed
Linux	CatGo_1.4.1_amd64.deb / CatGo-1.4.1-1.x86_64.rpm
Android	CatGo-v*-android-universal.apk
iOS	App Store / TestFlight beta

💻 Installation

• Windows — run the -setup.exe installer (recommended; installs the catgo CLI so catgo view works; the .msi installs the app only). Unsigned: if SmartScreen warns, More info → Run anyway.
• macOS — open the .dmg, drag CatGo to Applications. Developer-ID signed; the first launch needs right-click → Open → Open (full notarization is coming in a follow-up).
• Linux — sudo dpkg -i CatGo_1.4.1_amd64.deb (or sudo rpm -i CatGo-1.4.1-1.x86_64.rpm)

---

✨ New in 1.4.1

• In-app auto-update — Windows & macOS notice new releases and update with one click (download the signed bundle → relaunch). Linux (.deb/.rpm) shows a "new version" banner that opens the download page. The banner appears only when a newer release exists.
  • Note: this is the first build that ships the updater, so existing 1.4.0 users need to install 1.4.1 manually once; updates from 1.4.1 onward are automatic.
• Developer-ID signed macOS — the .dmg/.app are code-signed (first launch: right-click → Open).
• Bonds preserved when adding a lattice — adding a periodic box to a molecule (Build → Lattice) no longer drops the bonds; fractional coords are recomputed correctly, including non-orthogonal cells.
• Search Database fixed — OPTIMADE providers retry on cold start, so it's no longer PubChem-only.
• Image export — high-DPI cropped exports render the selected sub-view directly (aligned, no clipping); PNG files now carry correct DPI (pHYs) metadata.
• VS Code extension — trajectory playback no longer janks (off-thread bond recompute).
• Plots — electronic-structure axis titles no longer overlap tick labels at large fonts.
• iOS — CatGo is now on the App Store (static viewer build); the web "Get the App" button is embedded in the landing page.

🧰 Highlights (the workbench)

• Reads ~30 formats — VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, CP2K, ABACUS, ORCA, Gaussian, CASTEP, SIESTA, OpenMX, LAMMPS, ASE .traj, phonopy, HDF5, CIF, XYZ/extXYZ, mol2, PDB, cube/CHGCAR — inputs and outputs
• Writes ready-to-run decks — VASP, QE, CP2K, ABACUS, ORCA, Gaussian, LAMMPS, GROMACS, AMBER, SPARK (headers & keywords preserved)
• Multi-pane workspace — tabs, split-view, pop-outs; each pane an independent structure/trajectory
• CatBot AI copilot (Claude / Codex / Gemini / Ollama / DeepSeek …) + visual DAG workflow engine + HPC submit/monitor
• Builders — slabs, adsorbates, moiré, nanotubes, heterostructures, nanoparticles, MOFs, doping, passivation
• Analysis — DOS / band / COHP, Brillouin zone, XRD, phase diagrams, Gibbs & volcano plots
• Built-in xTB / EMT calculators · OPTIMADE & PubChem search · HD render & trajectory video export

• iOS — TestFlight beta

Installation

• Windows — run the -setup.exe installer (recommended; it puts the catgo CLI on your PATH so catgo view works). The .msi installs the app but not the CLI.
  • Unsigned this release: if Windows SmartScreen warns, click More info → Run anyway. (Code signing is coming in a later build.)

CatGo v1.3.4

A small but important follow-up to v1.3.3: it fixes an HPC connection that dropped to "session expired" the moment you browsed certain remote homes. Includes everything from v1.3.3. All platform builds are attached below.

Fixes

• HPC: "session expired" the instant you connect. Browsing a remote home whose dotfiles include a non-UTF-8 file (e.g. a binary .pid, a VESTA lock, or an ISO-8859 config) instantly tore down the SSH connection. On connect, the read-many prefetch runs head -c N <file> across a batch of dotfiles; asyncssh decoded that command channel as UTF-8, a byte like 0xfd made the decode raise, and asyncssh sent a protocol disconnect that killed the whole connection — so the next directory listing reported "session expired". Clusters with all-text homes (e.g. Expanse) were unaffected, which made it look connection-specific. The read-many command now reads raw bytes and decodes defensively, so a binary dotfile yields replacement characters in that one file's preview instead of dropping the session. (#421)
• README: fixed the broken English ⇄ 简体中文 cross-links (they pointed at non-existent readme_new.* files). (#420)

Also in this release (from v1.3.3)

Teaching workflow templates run end to end (fan-out generators, MLP routing, free-energy diagrams, generic analysis nodes), VASP NEB multi-image input generation, CatBot reliability fixes (Claude settings env fallback, SDK permission cards), and the redesigned English & Chinese READMEs. See the v1.3.3 notes for the full list.

CatGo v1.3.3

CatGo v1.3.3 focuses on making the visual workflow engine actually run end to end, hardening CatBot, and refreshing the docs. All platform builds are attached below.

Highlights

• Teaching workflow templates now run end to end. The editor's demo templates — band structure, surface energy, adsorption screening, elastic tensor, MLP phonon, the HER/OER/ORR/NRR/CO₂RR catalysis recipes, NEB, and more — execute locally with an MLP or route correctly to HPC and produce real per-node results. This fixes fan-out generators, calc → MLP routing, free-energy diagrams, generic analysis nodes, and several silent "completed-but-empty" failures.
• VASP NEB multi-image input generation. neb nodes now generate proper image subdirectories (00…0N) plus the NEB INCAR tags (IMAGES / IBRION / SPRING / LCLIMB) on both the local-preview and HPC paths, with the product endpoint resolved from a second structure input.
• CatBot reliability. The Claude Code provider reads ~/.claude/settings.json env as a fallback (fixes blank replies behind a local proxy), and SDK tool-permission cards no longer hang on "Thinking…" after you click Allow.
• Redesigned English & Chinese READMEs with clearer onboarding, a version-proof download table, an AI-agent build path, and the iOS TestFlight beta link.

Workflow engine

• Fan-out generators (loop / doping_gen / batch_*) bridge their structures to downstream calc nodes; MLP batch results re-fan so geo_opt → single_point/freq chains no longer collapse to a single structure.
• Added (single_point / freq / cell_opt → MLP) routing and registered mlp_single_point / mlp_vibrations / mlp_neb.
• free_energy is routed to its analysis handler (it was a no-op that left every recipe's final node empty).
• execute_local_node re-raises on failure, so errors surface as FAILED instead of a false "completed".
• Adsorbate-only freeze for frequency calculations in catalysis recipes (#407, #412).
• JobScriptParams accepts potcar_root / potcar_functional, and potcar_root is read from hpc.job_defaults (#411, #409).
• Reset clears a stale hpc_job_id / work_dir so a re-run submits fresh (#408).
• A locked slab_gen structure is honored for HPC instead of being regenerated (#406).
• batch_submitter resolves base_work_dir (#416).
• Running a workflow no longer returns a 500 from a broken log pipe or CORS-less error (#404).
• MLP nodes no longer show irrelevant VASP parameters (kpoints, ENCUT, …) in the editor.

Viewer & analysis

• Charge / COHP remote import, cube periodicity, and slice-plane UX (#403).
• DOS: parse adjacent signed PROCAR floats (#402).

HPC & platform

• Support conn.run(input=) on the subprocess-SSH and local runners (#405).
• Bind fetch to globalThis for managed downloads on WebKitGTK (#400).
• Terminal left inset so xterm content is not flush against the pane edge (#401).

v1.3.2

CatGo v1.3.2

AI-driven workbench for computational materials science — a 3D structure / trajectory editor + workflow engine, shipped as a desktop app, a mobile build, and a VS Code extension with a Python backend.

This release focuses on the 3D viewer: publication-style render modes, per-material lighting you can aim, and full bond-order perception (double / triple / aromatic) — including across carbon-framework catalysts like graphene and C₃N₄.

---

✨ What's new

Viewer render styles — a per-material shading mode next to the colour scheme:

• Glossy (specular) · Matte (diffuse) · Toon (3-band cel/cartoon with a silhouette outline). 中文: 光泽 / 哑光 / 卡通.

Per-material lighting controls — a new Lighting group:

• Light azimuth + elevation (aim the headlamp), directional + ambient intensity, and highlight (specular) strength — all update live.
• Each render style keeps its own lighting profile, remembered per material.
• Fixes the viewer headlamp, which was lit from the lower-left → now lit from above.

Bond orders in the 3D viewer (Bond orders / 键级, off by default):

• Perceives double / triple / aromatic orders across the whole structure — molecular adsorbates and carbon-framework catalysts (graphene, C₃N₄, h-BN, COF). Metals stay single-bonded.
• Doubles/triples draw as offset multi-cylinders; aromatic rings draw as a single inscribed ring per hexagon (PBC-aware — cross-cell hexagons are detected, deduped and wrapped into the cell, so periodic sheets tile cleanly).

CatBot atom-selection DSL — agents can select atoms by text query: elem:O AND frac:c>0.9, label:O1, bonded:@i, sphere:@i;r, with AND/OR/NOT and parentheses (via the catgo_view select action).

DOS / COHP / BANDS plots — customizable per-series line colours, Nature-style colour presets, and publication DPI × width PNG export.

CatGo CLI from the bundle — the catgo command is exposed by the packaged app (no pip install). Plus CatBot client-direct providers can now build & edit workflows.

v1.3.1

CatGo v1.3.1

AI-driven workbench for computational materials science — one window for the whole loop: read almost any code's files → build & edit → run DFT / ML / MD → submit to HPC → analyse → publish, with an AI copilot (CatBot) and a visual workflow engine throughout.

Corrected replacement for v1.3.0 (retracted before GA). v1.3.1 fixes HPC/SSH connections in packaged builds — the bundle was missing asyncssh's crypto backends (pynacl/bcrypt) for Ed25519 / Curve25519 / encrypted OpenSSH keys, so cluster connections (e.g. SDSC Expanse, key + TOTP) hung at "connecting…". Now bundled and verified. Also fixes custodian (VASP job recovery) missing from packaged workflows.

CatGo 1.2.1 — Native Voice STT + GPU Acceleration

CatGo 1.2.1 is a major release on top of v1.1.16. The headline is a completely rebuilt voice-dictation stack (now native, GPU-accelerated, crash-free), but it also brings a new document viewer, a unified pane workspace, richer structure / electronic-structure tooling, and Android + iOS build pipelines.

---

🎤 Voice dictation (new) — native, GPU-accelerated, fixed

• Local terminal voice dictation — speak into any terminal via a mic button, with a speech-model + spoken-language picker and Chinese Traditional→Simplified conversion. (#377)
• Native backend STT — Whisper now runs in the FastAPI backend (faster-whisper / CTranslate2) instead of the webview. This fixes the Tauri white-screen / OOM crash: the old in-webview WASM engine leaked ~0.8 GB of unreclaimable memory per utterance on WebKit webviews (Linux WebKitGTK, macOS WKWebView) until the renderer was killed. CPU int8 everywhere (incl. Apple Silicon), automatic CUDA on NVIDIA with CPU fallback, hf-mirror.com download fallback. (#379)
• In-app GPU accelerator (opt-in) — a "GPU Acceleration" control downloads a prebuilt whisper.cpp binary + model on demand: Vulkan for AMD/Intel iGPUs, Metal for Apple Silicon (~2–4.6× faster encode than CPU). Nothing extra bundled by default; runtime GPU↔CPU switch; sha256-verified, slip-guarded downloads. (#381)
• Fixes: duplicated input when two panes both had voice on; phantom dictation with the mic button off. (#379, #381)

📄 Document viewer (new)

• Multi-tab, movable document-viewer window for non-structure files — text, Markdown, HTML, CSV, PDF, images, Excel, and Word (.docx). Each opened file becomes a tab; the window can be dragged onto a second screen. (#376)

🪟 Panes & workspace

• Unified pane tree replacing the old quad grid, plus SDK-agent terminal / Campaign integration, chat, and Mol* / model fixes. (#357)
• "Open to" targets — choose tab / split / window × new / overwrite when opening files; Shift flips the mode; quad-layout, close-pane, and trajectory/camera fixes. (#375)
• CatBot → existing viewer — when the assistant loads a structure it can ask: overwrite, new pane, or new window. (#372)
• Trackball pan speed normalized to camera distance (molecules no longer pan sluggishly). (#363)

🔷 Structure & electronic structure

• Coordination polyhedra — ported matterviz 0.4.1 polyhedra features (#355), then rewrote them on a bond-graph with distance-rule bonding and live per-element polyhedra controls. (#364)
• Slab builder orthogonalizes c by default so the surface plane is ab. (#371)
• Electronic-structure plot polish — axis titles, bundled Arial-equivalent font, theme-aware colors, adjustable title/font sizes, consistent spin-up/down line styles, band gap shown in Materials Project search, and assorted button-contrast fixes. (#378)
• PROCAR — parse adjacent signed floats VASP prints without a separator (e.g. 0.00000000-0.00000000), fixing PDOS/projection reads. (#380)

📱 Mobile & cross-platform builds

• Android — new CI workflow producing a signed APK attached to the GitHub release (#351), plus workflow fixes (#353) and a Mol* toolbar entry replacing the floating button (#352).
• iOS — terminal input correctness + SSH session stability on device. (#356)
• This release ships Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux), Android, and iOS.

☁️ HPC, agent & infra

• HPC jump-host plain-password auth + a DNS-failure hint. (#354)
• MCP endpoint trailing-slash fix. (#373)

---

The optional Vulkan/Metal STT binaries are published separately as stt-accel-v1 and fetched in-app on demand.

🤖 Release prepared with Claude Code

stt-accel-v1

CatGo STT GPU accelerator binaries

v1.1.16

CatGo v1.1.16

Highlights

• Claude Code integration now works from the installer (Windows fix). The bundled server self-registers the catgo MCP + campaign skills with Claude Code on startup (writes ~/.claude.json, copies skills) — installer users no longer need the catgo CLI or admin rights. (#348)
• Biological-system visualization. Open a protein / nucleic-acid (PDB / bio-mmCIF) and it renders in an embedded Mol* viewer (cartoon/surface/sequence); a DNA toolbar button opens any structure in Mol*. (#339, #343)
• Band-structure UI fixes. Electronic plots (DOS/COHP/Bands) now stack beside the structure instead of squishing at the bottom; Load buttons styled; proactive + friendly KPOINTS guidance on upload. (#342, #344)

Structure parsers

• New TS parsers: QE input, CASTEP .cell, SIESTA .fdf, VASP OUTCAR (+ trajectory), OpenMX, ORCA, Gaussian (Z-matrix / %coords), ABACUS STRU, full QE ibrav table incl. niche cases. (#333–#336)

Mobile / iOS

• Native voice input, Ollama / local-LLM support, and backend-less hardening. (#337, #320)
• Multi-cluster sessions with per-cluster terminal tabs; on-device terminal fixes (sticky Ctrl, key-bar focus, selection copy); ~30s background grace so SSH/OTP survive app switches; monotonic CFBundleVersion for TestFlight. (#315–#319)

HPC

• Desktop download manager; private-key-file selection; in-memory key-import hardening. (#326, #327, #329)

VS Code extension

• Inline catrender WASM so it loads under the webview CSP; server.url / server.sidecarPath escape hatches for offline / Remote-SSH; Open VSX namespace claim. (#347, #332, #330, #331)

Analysis / workflow

• Surface plot/CSV export failures instead of failing silently; PBS resource parameters in workflow runs; collision-proof workflow node ids (flaky-test fix); ORCA form cleanup. (#338, #340, #345, #321)

Viewer / misc

• Cap rendered bond length + fix collapsed periodic-table modal; route external links through shell.open. (#323, #314)
• Campaign md-orchestration mode + input-file submit gate; Chinese-docs alignment. (#324, #341, #328)
• Build: pin @tauri-apps/api to 2.9.x to match the Rust crate. (#350)

Downloads

• Windows: CatGo_1.1.16_x64_en-US.msi or CatGo_1.1.16_x64-setup.exe
• macOS (Apple Silicon): CatGo_1.1.16_aarch64.dmg
• Linux: CatGo_1.1.16_amd64.deb or CatGo-1.1.16-1.x86_64.rpm
• VS Code: catgo-1.1.16.vsix

Note: iOS / Android builds are not part of this release — see the project notes (mobile distribution needs Apple/Android signing credentials).

v1.1.15

CatGo v1.1.15 — desktop builds for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux (.deb / .rpm), bundling the backend server (MLP libraries excluded). First release with the iOS-ready mobile app code and tool-calling mobile AI chat.

Highlights

Mobile — iOS app + agentic AI chat

• iOS app (v1): purpose-built mobile UI, terminal tabs, and AI chat running against the same editor core as desktop (#292)
• Tool calling in mobile AI chat: full CLIENT_TOOLS agentic loop with a native permission card — the assistant can now search Materials Project, edit structures, and drive the viewer from a phone (#304)
• Materials Project API works on mobile: native fetch runs before the relay auth-header guard (#301), and key-bearing requests take the direct-API branch (#306)
• SSH connection password handling + terminal keyboard UX fixes (#295)

3D viewer — rotation & zoom finally behave

• Rotation orbits the structure's own center even after panning (closes #214, a bug that survived three previous attempts): lattice-box center for crystals, mass-weighted center of mass for molecules; the pan offset is preserved while rotating (#303)
• Orthographic zoom no longer fights you: the view fits the whole structure (no more cropped cells with giant atoms in side-by-side panes), and switching layouts no longer clobbers your zoom level (#309)
• Materials Project search results sort by stability again (#307); nanoscroll builds fit the view (#296); desktop overlays stay within the viewport (#298); the viewer adopts CatBot tool edits live (#308)

Workflow & analysis

• Workflow submission, persistence, i18n, and modal-pane stability batch (#299)
• DOS/COHP extensions bundled; band structures work without a KPOINTS file (#297)
• DOS: Compute PDOS auto-creates a group from the current selection, robust d-band rendering when values are null (#302)
• HPC file browser: command-based listing runs before SFTP (avoids SFTP-subsystem hangs on busy login nodes) with a bounded SFTP fallback when the exec channel times out (#302)

Chat & web

• Materials Project API key works in the web build via the CORS relay allowlist (#305)
• Keyless Ollama local models supported in chat (#294)

VS Code extension

• Refuses the doomed 463 MB sidecar download on unsupported platforms — Intel Macs get a clear message instead of a binary that can't run (#312)

CI

• The e2e lane is real again: it now drives the actual app (launcher, editor canvas, layout round-trip) instead of a dead upstream demo-site suite, and failures show a real ❌ instead of being painted green (#310, #311)

Assets

• Windows: .msi / .exe installer
• macOS (Apple Silicon): .dmg
• Linux: .deb + .rpm
• Android: .apk (arm64)
• VS Code extension (.vsix) + backend server sidecars (darwin-arm64 / linux-x64 / win-x64)
• HPC bundle
