1.0 — 18 September 2026 (first release)

The first public version. The Mac app was released on the Mac App Store on 18 September 2026. The iPhone and iPad version is in review.

Tailcat support

  • Connect through a WireGuard tunnel to servers with no public IP, no VPN and no account. One tailcat serve 22 on the server is all it takes.
  • Identity keys are generated in the app and kept in the Keychain; existing *.private.json keys can be imported.
  • Connections start through a DERP relay and upgrade to a direct peer-to-peer path when possible; the session tab shows which.
  • Supports tailcat 0.6.0’s pre-shared-key addresses.

Native herdr support

  • Detects herdr on the server and renders spaces, tabs, split panes and agents as native screens.
  • Create and rename spaces and tabs; pick a session on hosts that run several.
  • Pane scrolling with inertia and edge bounce; the screen moves before the server answers.
  • Hosts without herdr get a notice and, if you want, a plain terminal.

Reviewing the agent’s work

  • File viewer: changed files with side-by-side or unified diffs (diff2html), plus Markdown (MarkdownUI), HTML, images, PDFs and source (Highlightr).
  • Web preview: HTTP servers started in the workspace are found and opened in an in-app browser over a forwarded port.

Terminal

  • iPhone and iPad: a key row with esc, ctrl, alt, tab and arrows, a multi-page custom keypad, and a prompt composer.
  • Mac: menu bar Settings and About, keyboard shortcuts, split views. App Sandbox enabled.
  • SwiftTerm terminal, Metal rendering (optional), 256 colours and true colour, mouse support. SSH by Citadel/SwiftNIO SSH.
  • Close on the connection error screen, Cancel while connecting, readable error messages.
