Mode 1.1.7 adds voice input to the composer, brings first-class CSS grid controls to the editor, and makes GitHub connections much more resilient.

Dictate prompts in the composer

Use the new microphone button or press ⌘⇧D to dictate a prompt. Mode shows a live recording visualization and places the transcript directly into the composer. Permission problems recover without a reload, and clear messages explain microphone errors when they occur.

Edit CSS grids visually

CSS grid layouts are now first-class in the design panel and on the canvas. Configure grid templates and auto-flow, switch between layout types, and drag elements into or within a grid while Mode places them correctly. The canvas overlay clearly shows grid selection and editing states, including layouts built with values such as repeat() and minmax().

GitHub connections recover cleanly

Reinstalling the GitHub App now restores affected repositories and integrations instead of leaving projects disconnected. Mode prevents duplicate integrations, recovers from missed webhooks and temporary network failures, shows integration errors in the UI, and provides the correct reinstall path when a repository is removed.

More improvements

• Find a snapshot's source: Elements inside snapshots now include an origin control that reveals the source element in the live portal, scrolls it into view, and briefly highlights it.

• Explore mode by default: New composer conversations now start in Explore mode.

• Open explorations in a new tab: Explorations use a normal browser tab instead of a popup and no longer appear far away from the active canvas area.

Fixes

• Dragging color, border-radius, and other design-panel controls no longer gets stuck or makes their handles disappear.

• Text alignment works correctly, redundant tooltips have been removed, and the margin handle is positioned properly.

• Native select elements now render correctly inside snapshots.

• Additional pointer interactions and dialog visuals have been polished.
