Built in the open. New since you last looked.
Webhook delivery headers were renamed as part of the rebrand from Torale to webwhen. The four custom headers (Event, Signature, Delivery, Timestamp) now use the X-Webwhen-* prefix instead of X-Torale-*, and the User-Agent string is now Webwhen-Webhooks/1.0. If you have any webhook receivers that parse these headers — particularly any signature-verification code matching on X-Torale-Signature — update them to the new names.
Attach private data sources to your monitoring tasks. The agent can now reach into Notion, Linear, and GitHub at run time via Composio's hosted MCP gateway, with per-user OAuth handled end-to-end. Connect tools from /settings/connectors, then pick which ones each task can use. Behind the VITE_ENABLE_CONNECTORS flag at launch.
The monitoring agent can now read full web pages using a Lightpanda headless browser, going beyond search snippets to extract detailed content directly from sources. Includes SSRF protection with DNS resolution validation and redirect safeguards.
Subscribe to any public task's results via RSS. Each public task now has an auto-discoverable feed so you can follow monitoring results in your favorite reader. Also simplified task URLs by removing the slug system.
Execution timeline now shows a step-by-step trail of what the agent did during each run — searches performed, pages fetched, and decisions made. Full transparency into the monitoring process.
The monitoring agent now runs multiple web searches in parallel, casting a wider net for relevant results. Combined with improved search memory handling and an updated default model, task monitoring is more accurate and reliable.
Admin console now has full task lifecycle controls. Pause and resume monitoring tasks without deletion, reset stuck executions with one click, and manually trigger task runs on demand. Improved reliability of manual task execution coordination with scheduled retries.
Arc browser-inspired welcome flow for new users. Beautiful morphing animations transition from search icon to bell with mesh gradient backgrounds. Five-step guided introduction showcases Torale's core value proposition with silky smooth animations and premium design. Accessible anytime at /welcome route.
Privacy-first analytics powered by PostHog. Track user behavior patterns, task lifecycle events, execution performance, and agent usage metrics without capturing any search queries or sensitive data. New feedback modal and inline widget let users share suggestions directly from the dashboard. Session replay with automatic input masking ensures privacy.

Dual agent deployment with automatic paid tier fallback provides reliability when free tier hits rate limits. Clean 429 error propagation via A2A task status improves error visibility.
Major agent reliability and intelligence enhancements. Agent now has improved memory retention across executions, intelligent task failure handling with exponential backoff retry logic, and enhanced temporal awareness to prevent stale results. Admin 'Run Now' button triggers immediate task execution. Simplified backend testing by removing 81 low-value tests while adding comprehensive agent evaluation CLI. Display improvements for notification and evidence fields in execution views.
The agent now runs the show. No more cron schedules — just describe what you want to monitor and the AI decides when and how often to check. Simplified task creation and backend infrastructure. Powered by Gemini + Perplexity search with persistent memory.
Share your monitoring tasks with the world. New Explore page lets anyone discover public tasks without signing in.
