Ratings & reviews

Detached Keyboard & iPhone Duo - Float the built-in Terminal Keyboard over the terminal on iPhone. Long-press the keyboard switch key and choose Detached; drag the ellipsis handle to move it. - Placement and position are remembered after relaunch. On iPad, the menu is available with Use System Detached Keyboard off. - On iOS 27.1 and later, the docked terminal keyboard splits around iPhone Duo's fold, with a space bar on each side. Toolbar buttons and swipe pages also avoid the fold. The floating keyboard settles clear of it where space allows. - Fixed iPad system detached keyboard dragging, resizing and drawer clipping, plus full-width keyboard flashes when focusing terminals or switching tabs. Improved keyboard focus during Duo folds and herdr tab restoration. Remote Ports - Discover listening TCP ports on remote hosts with Show Remote Ports in Settings > Appearance > Window. Tap the globe at the terminal's bottom-right, then choose a port to forward it and open its page in a rootshell tab. - Edit the address to change paths or use HTTP/HTTPS, including self-signed development servers on that forward. Port menus offer Copy Local URL and Stop Forward. - Supports SSH, tssh and the retained SSH connection for Mosh/Roam, including tmux and herdr control-mode panes. Restored Mosh/Roam sessions need a fresh SSH bootstrap after relaunch. - Off by default. Scans run for visible terminals while the app is in the foreground. Tunnels bind only to this device and end with the connection. Screen Sharing - Connect to wayshare servers on Linux, including Hyprland desktops, using Apple SRP in Standard or High Performance mode. New Remote System choices recognize wayshare automatically or let you select Linux to send Option as Alt. - Fixed Standard mode waiting indefinitely for the first image on Macs with multiple displays, cropped displays and misplaced clicks, and VeNCrypt TLS handshake failures with servers such as WayVNC. Agent Push Notifications - Added Pi, Oh My Pi and Hermes integrations for completed turns, failures and supported requests for input. Notification titles include the sending hostname. - Fixed lost notifications from one-shot Codex commands and improved Pi/Oh My Pi completion delivery. - Update rootshell-notify on each sending computer with Install or Upgrade the Hook Client in Push Notification settings, then restart agents or reload extensions. For Hermes, also run hermes plugins enable rootshell-push. Custom Keys & Sessions - New Symbols tab in the key-combination picker for custom toolbar keys and swipe gestures. Fixed Shift/Ctrl combinations with digits and punctuation, modifiers on Page Up/Down, and lost Shift in custom combinations under Neovim's kitty keyboard protocol. - Fixed tssh dropping terminal pixel-size replies, restoring graphics sizing in remote apps such as terminal-browser, including tssh launched from the local shell. - Fixed tmux focus jumping back after rapid pane changes. Switching zmx sessions in Exposé now moves only the selected pane, keeps attach commands out of shell history and restores the chosen session after reconnecting or relaunching. Local Tools & Reliability - Updated Vim to 9.2.1225 with security fixes and restored missing runtime files for syntax support and Python indentation. - Updated tssh/VPN certificate validation and curl's certificate bundle to reject compromised eMudhra CA keys. - Fixed launch hangs and crashes while restoring bookmarked folders, and local-shell crashes when the working folder was deleted or inaccessible. - Fixed iPad tab-menu freezes, Command+T opening an unfocused shell behind Connections, Escape failing to dismiss Connections, and launch commands not executing in remote Windows consoles. - Floating File Manager, HTTP Capture and Find panels can move over the pinned tab sidebar. Fixed theme matching after closing a window. Notifications now reveal panes hidden by a zoomed or full-screen sibling.
