0.1.852026-09-08

Pick fonts for your theme, and choose Codex models from the live catalog

Themes now set the app and code fonts, with JetBrains Mono and IBM Plex Mono bundled for the terminal. Codex sessions and actions pick from the real model list with display names and effort levels.

  • addedThemes choose the app font and the code font, and the theme editor previews both as you edit.
  • addedJetBrains Mono and IBM Plex Mono ship with the app and can be picked as terminal fonts on Mac and iPhone.
  • improvedCodex actions and hand-offs pick a model from the live catalog, with readable names and the effort levels each model supports.
  • improvedThe tab card shadow is adjustable per theme.
  • improvedBrowser cards on the Mac show the page edge to edge, with only a hairline under the tabs.
  • fixedBrowser cards and other views now follow theme edits live instead of lagging behind the theme editor until reopened.
  • fixedThe Codex model picker no longer repeats the model id under its display name.
  • fixedSwitching the agent tool in an action or hand-off clears the previous model and effort instead of carrying over values the new tool cannot use.
0.1.842026-09-08

Browse from your phone: built-in iPhone browser, launchpad card, shortcuts

The iPhone gets a built-in browser with tabs, history and controls within thumb reach. On the Mac, the Browser card becomes a launchpad for your open tabs, running servers and history, and the browser answers the usual keyboard shortcuts.

  • addedThe iPhone browser is built in, with tabs, history and controls at the bottom where your thumb is.
  • addedOpen tabs, running servers and page history sit right on the Browser card, one click away.
  • addedBrowser cards, tab pills and history show each site's own preview image and icon, on Mac and iPhone.
  • addedBrowser keyboard shortcuts: ⌘R reloads, ⌘[ and ⌘] go back and forward, ⌘1 to ⌘9 switch tabs, Esc stops a load.
  • improvedThe browser says whether localhost is the host's tunnel or this Mac, and lists this Mac's local servers too.
  • fixedSign-in pop-ups open as real windows in the Mac browser, external links hand off to their app, and finished downloads show in Finder.
  • fixedAlerts, confirms and prompts from a page show up in the iPhone browser instead of being silently dropped.
  • fixedOn the iPhone, attachments download, mailto and tel links open the matching app, and links that want a new window open a new tab.
  • fixedA page that fails to load on the iPhone shows a notice, and you can pull down to reload or open the page in Safari.
  • fixedIf the page process crashes on the iPhone, the page reloads instead of staying blank.
  • fixedSign-in redirect URLs stay out of browser history and are no longer opened on your other devices.
  • fixedPort, tunnel and history popovers in the Browser card open on their button instead of well below it.
  • fixedKill port works again from the port menu on Mac and iPhone instead of reporting not supported.
  • fixedSwitching tabs in the Mac browser moves the card's current page with it, so the iPhone opens the tab you are on.
  • fixedNarrow Browser cards tuck toolbar buttons into an overflow menu instead of cutting them off.
0.1.832026-09-07

Files of any size, browser tabs on every device, an embedded iPhone browser

Move files of any size between your device and the host, and transfers pick up where they left off after a dropped connection. Browser tabs are now shared between Mac and iPhone, and a new embedded browser (beta) lets you browse on the phone itself.

  • addedSave, share, Quick Look or import files of any size from the Files and Git cards, and a transfer resumes after a dropped line.
  • addedBrowser tabs are shared: the iPhone lists the Mac's tabs with thumbnails, and opening, picking or reordering one carries over to the other device.
  • addedAn embedded browser (beta) lets you browse on the iPhone itself, in step with the Mac's page, with popups, dialogs and downloads.
  • addedHand the page you are looking at to a running session, or start a new one with it, straight from the address bar.
  • addedOn a remote host, a Browser card can open localhost on this Mac instead of the host, and a chip shows where the page really went.
  • addedSort the Files card by name, size or date, and show size and date under each entry.
  • fixedThe Claude usage ring and Usage card keep updating on hosts reached through the relay; they used to freeze on the last value once the cached credentials expired.
  • fixedAgents no longer grab each other's browsers: a session only reaches the browser it started itself, and the Mac's New Card menu no longer offers an Agent Browser, which only agents start now.
  • fixedAn Agent Browser no longer starts with a tiny page stuck in a white canvas.
  • fixedDocking a detached Agent Browser back onto its agent lands on that agent's card instead of the first card on the board.
  • fixedA public page opened from the iPhone goes straight to it instead of through the tunnel as a localhost address with a broken certificate.
  • fixedThe Mac annotator shows its five colour buttons again instead of a colour menu with no visible label.
  • fixedThe port pill on a Linux host no longer lists the Agent Browser's own Chrome ports as running servers.
  • fixedThe New Card menu opened from the keyboard no longer sits too high and clipped until the first arrow key.
  • fixedLong-pressing a file on the iPhone shows a readable preview card instead of row text drawn over the row behind it.
  • fixedOn the iPhone, the Files card's search keyboard goes away when you tap a row, change folder or scroll the list.
  • fixedThe needs-attention dot in the sidebar inbox, tab strip and iPhone inbox now uses the same red as the workspace attention badge.
0.1.822026-09-04

Move files between your Mac and a workspace straight from the Files card

Files now move freely between your Mac and a workspace: drop them from Finder into the Files card, drag them back out, or drop one onto a session to put its path in the prompt.

  • addedMove files between your Mac and a workspace: drop them in from Finder, drag them out to Finder, or Save As and Share.
  • addedDrop a file from the Files card onto a session card to put its path in the prompt; images open for annotation first.
  • addedCopy, cut, paste and delete files in the Files card with the usual Edit-menu shortcuts.
  • improvedWork the Files card from the keyboard: arrows walk folders like Finder, typing jumps to a name, right arrow opens a file.
  • improvedImages on iPhone zoom with pinch, pan and double-tap.
  • fixedCodex's memory-consolidation helper no longer renames your session card to "Memory consolidation" or overwrites its recap.
  • fixedPhotos taken in portrait on iPhone arrive upright in the annotation editor instead of turned on their side.
  • fixedSwitching workspaces returns to the card you last selected there instead of jumping to the first session.
  • fixedSwitching workspaces with a key press no longer moves the selection one card too far.
  • fixedThe update pill's notes card opens fully on screen on the first hover, takes your click, and hovering it no longer pulls focus from the main window.
  • fixedThe rename dialog opens with the name selected and ready to type, and confirming an unchanged name just closes it.
  • fixedThe "Drop files to upload" overlay on a session card clears after the drop instead of staying on.
  • fixedFocus Mode on a Files card opens the file you had selected on the board.
0.1.812026-09-03

Files card becomes a git-aware file manager, Agent Browser loses its lag

The Files card grew into a real file manager: git status in the tree and editor, multi-select, drag and drop, undo, and sending files or line ranges straight to an agent. The Agent Browser opens instantly and scrolls without lag.

  • addedThe Files card shows git status: marked files and folders, changed lines in the editor, and a Changed filter.
  • addedDrag files between folders, select several at once, delete whole folders, and undo a move or rename.
  • addedHand a file, folder or selected lines to a running agent, or start a fresh session with it.
  • improvedThe Agent Browser opens instantly on a start page with your live web servers, and scrolling and typing no longer lag.
  • addedEvery card shows its session's web servers: open one in a browser card or stop a stuck one, on Mac and iPhone.
  • improvedAnnotate screenshots on iPhone in a full-screen editor: pinch to zoom, drag or resize markers, blur, and comment.
  • fixedAn Agent Browser page no longer sticks on a half-drawn frame after loading until you scroll.
  • fixedOn iPhone, an Agent Browser page no longer shrinks to a small stamp in an empty area while the card opens or the keyboard is up.
  • fixedChanging the Agent Browser's stream quality no longer leaves the stream blank or at the old size.

  • fixedFolders in the Files card no longer show as empty after their parent folder reloads.
0.1.802026-09-01

Interactive terminals on iPhone

Tap terminal UI elements on iPhone and fling-scroll naturally. Expired tokens now refresh automatically with a subtle badge.

  • addedTap to interact with terminal UI elements like buttons and menus on iPhone.
  • addedFling scrolling on iPhone for terminals and the web browser.
  • improvedExpired authentication tokens now show a subtle auto-refreshing badge instead of a warning.
0.1.80-dev2026-08-25

Web Simulator: a browser on the host your agent can drive

A new Web Simulator card runs a browser on the host and streams it to your Mac and iPhone — one page, one login, on every device — and gives agents `offsite web` to open, read, click and screenshot the app they are building. Your own Browser card stays yours; the agent never touches it.

  • addedWeb Simulator card: a headless Chromium on the host, streamed live to Mac and iPhone with clicks, scrolling and typing. Desktop and Mobile viewports; page, scroll and login survive reconnects.
  • addedAgents drive the Web Simulator with `offsite web`: open, snapshot (page as text with refs), click, fill, select, type, press, eval, screenshot, navigation. Your Browser card stays out of reach.
  • addedIf nothing is listening on the URL yet, the card shows a retry page instead of a stale one; if the host has no Chromium-family browser, the card says which one to install.
  • improvedWeb Simulator dropdowns, pickers and dialogs are handled on the page side, so the hidden browser can never block on a native menu; the browser restarts itself if it stops answering.
  • fixedDev-channel host updates now fetch the current installer instead of the last release's, so the `offsite` agent CLI always matches the installed host.
  • fixedRunning the host from inside a session could kill that session's terminal (a tmux socket inherited from the shell); host commands now always name their socket explicitly.
  • fixediPhone: connecting to a host over the local network no longer crashes debug builds (SSH channels are created on their event loop).
  • improved`offsite-host version --json` reports installed component hashes and install time — the reliable way to check whether a host update landed.
0.1.792026-09-01

The Files card gets fast: quick opens and live updates from your agents

The Files card is much faster: files open in a single round trip, browsing stays snappy even on remote connections, and files your agents create now show up on their own without hitting refresh.

  • addedFiles created by agents or the shell appear in the Files card automatically, no refresh needed.
  • improvedFiles open faster and browsing the tree feels snappier, especially over remote connections.
  • fixedFiles over 10MB now open with a preview instead of showing nothing at all, and large images load a lightweight preview first with the original a tap away.
  • fixedTyping in a file no longer reloads the file tree on every keystroke across your connected devices.
  • fixedOpening a very large file no longer stalls other updates from the host while it loads.
0.1.782026-09-01

Agent browser on bare Linux servers, host updates three times faster

The agent browser now runs on a bare Linux server, with setup installing anything Chrome needs, and a host update finishes in about 20 seconds instead of a minute.

  • addedThe agent browser runs on bare Linux servers; setup installs Chrome's missing libraries after asking you.
  • addedThe browser can identify as a desktop or mobile device, and right-click Inspect Element opens DevTools.
  • addedCodex installs without Homebrew or npm, so all three agents can run on a fresh Linux host.
  • improvedA host update finishes in about 20 seconds instead of a minute.
  • improvedThe update pill sits next to the version numbers in the sidebar; hover it to read what the new version brings.
  • fixedThe agent browser no longer blocks your own Chrome: leftover headless browsers could swallow the Dock click so Chrome would not open, and they are now cleaned up automatically.
  • fixedBrowser pages showed only white in the released app because its renderer processes crashed on launch.
  • fixedA message that starts with a dash now reaches the session instead of being silently dropped.
  • fixedBrowser and simulator cards can be renamed from the tab strip again, not just from the card.
  • fixedIf Chrome is missing on a Linux host, the browser session shows the exact install command instead of a generic connection error.
  • fixedCropped screenshots from the agent browser no longer come back blank on Linux servers.
  • fixedA new browser tab opens the start page with the URL bar focused, and the duplicate plus button in the tab strip is gone.
0.1.772026-08-31

Browser polish: mobile mode, Inspect Element, and no more white pages

A polish round for the browser: pages render again in production instead of coming up white, tabs can identify as a mobile browser, and right-click Inspect Element opens DevTools on the element you clicked.

  • addedA browser tab can identify as Desktop or Mobile, so sites serve you the layout you want.
  • addedRight-click Inspect Element opens DevTools focused on the element you clicked.
  • improvedNew browser tabs open a start page with the URL bar focused and selected, ready to type.
  • improvedBrowser navigation buttons respond to a click anywhere on the button, not just on the icon.
  • fixedBrowser pages in the release build no longer come up blank white; every page renders again.
  • fixedBrowser cards can be renamed again, both from the card pill and from the tab strip.
  • fixedPrompts starting with a dash now reach the agent instead of failing with an invalid-flag error.
0.1.762026-08-31

Annotate images on iPhone, blur out secrets, and mark pages for your agents

The image annotation editor arrives on iPhone with a new blur tool, and the Browser card lets you mark a region of a page and send it straight to an agent. Grok joins the usage rings next to Claude and Codex.

  • addedThe image annotation editor comes to iPhone, with pinch zoom, haptics and touch-sized controls.
  • addedA blur tool pixelates parts of an image before an agent sees it.
  • addedMark a region of any page in the Browser card, annotate it, and send it to an agent.
  • addedGrok usage shows next to Claude and Codex, in bigger, clearer usage rings.
  • improvedThe agent's browser follows the device you touched last; pulling the iPhone tile opens it fullscreen.
  • fixedBrowsers docked to a session now close when that session ends, instead of running on unattended.
  • fixedMarking a region on a scrolled page now captures the page instead of a blank white image.
  • fixedComment fields in the annotation editor grow with the text: Enter adds a new line, the caret stays visible, and long comment lists scroll.
  • fixedTapping anywhere on a sidebar notification opens its card, not just the text.
  • fixedThe browser stream no longer flickers blurry while a small tile of the same page is visible elsewhere.
  • fixedAfter a burst of page changes, the final frame now reaches the stream, so the browser no longer sits one step behind.
  • fixedUsage rings keep the correct colors after switching between light and dark mode, and the last known numbers stay up when a rate limit blocks a refresh.
  • fixedImages you attach arrive in a clearly fenced block, so agents no longer mistake your notes for a cut-off prompt.
0.1.752026-08-31

See your Claude and Codex plan usage without leaving Offsite

Keep an eye on your Claude and Codex plan quotas right in Offsite: usage rings in the sidebar and a new Usage card on the board show how much of each limit window is left.

  • addedClaude and Codex plan usage at a glance: rings in the sidebar and app menu, plus a Usage card on the board.
  • addedHover a usage ring on Mac or tap it on iPhone for a breakdown of each plan's limit windows.
  • improvedThe annotation dialog now has a live toggle for the annotation tool, so you can switch it off and back on instead of a one-way disable, and uploads with it off go out unannotated.
  • fixedTerminal sessions could end up split between two tmux servers after a host update, leaving some sessions unreachable or unable to start; the host now keeps every session in one place.
0.1.75-dev2026-08-31

Usage rings for Claude and Codex

See how much of your Claude and Codex plan limits you have used, right in the sidebar and as a board card.

  • addedUsage rings for Claude and Codex plan limits in the sidebar (hover for details) and as a Usage board card.
0.1.742026-08-30

Hotfix: sessions start again after the 0.1.73 update

Fixes a 0.1.73 issue on updated hosts where new agent sessions would not start and existing terminals stopped wrapping their text. Updating the host heals an affected Mac; running sessions are kept.

  • fixedNew Claude, Codex and Grok sessions start again on hosts updated to 0.1.73.
  • fixedExisting terminals wrap text at the card edge again and follow card resizes.
  • fixedApp and host updates can no longer be offered before all their files are published, so an interrupted publish leaves installed apps untouched.
0.1.732026-08-30

Your agent gets its own browser, and you can point at what it should fix

Your agent gets its own browser: it opens the pages it builds, docked to its card, while you watch and can take over. Also tabs and mark-to-send in your Browser card, workspaces cloned from GitHub, and file paths in agent output that open in the Files card.

  • addedYour agent gets its own browser: it opens and checks the pages it builds, docked to its card on Mac and iPhone.
  • improvedBrowser card: tabs, an editable address bar, find in page, and mark any part of a page to send it to an agent.
  • addedMark up screenshots and dropped images with numbered notes before they land in the agent's prompt.
  • addedStart a workspace from a folder, an existing project, or a GitHub repository cloned right there, on Mac and iPhone.
  • addedFile paths an agent mentions are links: click or tap one and it opens in the Files card with the lines marked.
  • addedOn iPhone, long-press and drag selects terminal text directly and copies it when you let go.
  • fixedAfter a host reboot, cards kept their last recap instead of going blank until the agent's next turn.
  • fixedScrolling works on terminal cards that do not have focus.
  • fixedSelecting or copying text in the scrollback keeps your scroll position instead of jumping back to the bottom.
  • fixedClosing a tab no longer drops you out of focus mode into the board grid.
  • fixedUpdating a Linux host no longer ends the sessions and agents running on it.
  • fixedPush notifications no longer stop silently after the iPhone wakes in the background with a locked keychain.
  • fixedOn iPhone, Update Now and Later in the host update prompt did nothing and the prompt came back every few seconds.
  • fixedLinux host setup reported 'permissions need repair' on a correctly protected state folder, and re-running setup lost the relay address.
  • fixedCodex sessions running with a sandbox crashed when the agent updated the card's name or recap.
  • fixedCodex cards no longer stack repeated welcome headers while the model is loading.
  • fixedAfter a host update, Computer Use no longer reports a false 'identity changed' that asks you to re-grant permissions.
  • fixedA full disk on the host shows a clear alert next to the host name instead of 'Internal host error' toasts.
  • fixedForce-quitting the Mac app no longer leaves browser tunnels running in the background.
  • fixedConnect to Existing Host no longer refuses a host that is older than the app; it connects and offers the update.
  • fixedHosts on a public server connect directly, without a failed attempt on a hostname that only resolves on the server's own network.
  • fixedNew cards on iPhone start at their final size instead of resizing twice after creation.
  • fixedDeploy to phone says when the iPhone has no push registration on the host instead of failing without a reason.
0.1.722026-08-25

Click file paths, real terminal sizes, host resource alerts

Click file paths in agent output to open them in the Files card with line references. Terminal sessions now start at their actual board size, and host resource alerts show disk and CPU status.

  • addedClick file paths in agent output to open them in the Files card with referenced lines marked
  • addedTerminal sessions spawn at the actual board card size instead of resizing after load
  • addedHost resource alerts show disk and CPU pressure with live numbers in the host picker
  • improvedCopy from terminal keeps your scroll position
  • improvediOS: long-press to select text, tap to dismiss selection without opening the keyboard
  • fixedDisk-full errors on the host now show a clear message instead of 'Internal host error'
  • fixediOS File card links now work the same as on macOS
0.1.712026-08-23

Maintenance release, no user-visible changes

A small maintenance release with internal housekeeping only. Nothing changes in how Offsite looks or works; updating keeps you current for upcoming releases.

  • improvedInternal housekeeping only; nothing changes in how Offsite looks or works.
0.1.702026-08-23

Codex notifications are back, fish shells show status, recap only when you ask

Codex sessions notify you again when a turn finishes or Codex needs permission, using Codex's new hooks; the card asks once to switch this on. The session recap now waits behind an i pill instead of popping up over your terminal.

  • addedCodex sessions notify you when a turn finishes or Codex needs permission; the card asks once to switch this on.
  • addedfish shells get card status too: running, done, and how long the command took, like zsh and bash.
  • improvedThe session recap opens from an i pill next to the status pill instead of popping up over the terminal on its own.
  • improvedIf your host's relay address changed, the apps pick up the new one on the next connection, no re-pairing needed.
  • fixedCodex user messages no longer turn into unreadable dark-on-dark or light-on-light bars after a theme change.
  • fixedA card could stay on "Running for ..." forever after a quick command; shell status now settles correctly.
  • fixedThe QR code in the pairing sheet refreshes itself, so a sheet left open no longer shows an expired code.
  • fixedEntering a host code on iPhone says when the code belongs to a different host or has expired, instead of failing silently.
  • fixedOn iPhone and Android, relay connection problems are reported as such instead of as a host key mismatch.
  • fixedA host whose relay agent was reinstalled now reads "not registered at its relay server, scan its QR code again" instead of just "offline".
0.1.692026-08-22

Guided host setup, more reliable connections, smarter Codex tracking

This release adds a guided setup wizard for connecting a new host, fixes several LAN, QR, and reconnection issues, and gives Codex sessions accurate state tracking for resume, workspace switches, and archived threads.

  • addedSetting up a new host now walks you through installing coding agents, granting permissions, and connecting, step by step.
  • addedCodex session cards now show whether a conversation resumed, switched workspace, or started fresh.
  • addedAgent permission modes are now Auto and YOLO; the old Approve mode is gone since Codex dropped support for it.
  • improvedReconnecting after your host restarts is more reliable, since the agent keeps the same listening port.
  • fixedSame-network (LAN/QR) pairing works again on recent macOS, after a silent bug kept hosts from being discovered.
  • fixedThe Disable Sleep button now appears for desktop Macs, not only laptops.
  • fixedManual connect with a password on Mac no longer fails with a host key mismatch error.
  • fixedFast commands on Linux hosts no longer occasionally hang for 20 seconds, which could show up as "did not answer" on iPhone.
  • fixedConnecting to a host with the relay turned off no longer risks trying the wrong port and failing with a permission error.
  • fixedThe setup wizard's connect card no longer claims a code only works on the same network when it actually works anywhere, and hides codes that would not work at all.
  • fixedGrok no longer opens its own login page automatically when a session starts.
  • fixedA missing Agent Bridge component now reinstalls itself instead of being reported as unchanged.
  • fixedHost power actions like Disable Sleep no longer trigger unexpected admin password prompts.

0.1.682026-08-16

See and grant the macOS permissions your sessions actually have

Sessions on your Mac run with their own macOS permissions, separate from the app's. A new Session permissions card in Host Settings shows what your sessions can actually access, like Full Disk Access, and helps you grant what is missing.

  • addedA Session permissions card in Host Settings shows each macOS permission your sessions have, with a Grant button per row.
  • addedGranting Full Disk Access is guided: the right System Settings pane opens and the file to drag in is revealed in Finder.
  • addedFolder permissions like Documents and Downloads wait for an explicit Test instead of probing silently, so no permission dialog pops up unasked.
  • addedCheck the same permission status from a shell with offsite-host permissions probe.
0.1.672026-08-15

Scroll any terminal under your pointer, and Claude cards stop hanging

Terminal scrolling now follows your pointer and handles every kind of mouse wheel cleanly, and Claude cards keep tracking their conversation through /clear, /resume and compaction instead of hanging on a busy spinner.

  • improvedScroll any terminal by pointing at it, no need to click the card first.
  • addedSet up Claude, Codex or Grok right after connecting to a host that has none, and the list refreshes itself.
  • improvedConnecting tells you what it is doing: trying your local network, the relay, or pairing the device.
  • improvedYou hear about the macOS folder access prompt before it appears, instead of it arriving unannounced.
  • fixedMouse wheel scrolling in terminals: small notches are no longer swallowed, fast spins stop where you stop them, and reversing direction no longer keeps scrolling the old way.
  • fixedClaude cards no longer hang on a busy spinner after /clear, /resume or an auto-compact; they follow the conversation and mark it Broken or Resumed when it changes underneath them.
  • fixedPairing a new device over your local network no longer fails on the first try because the pairing token was accepted on only some connection paths.
  • fixedExpected connection errors while the host updates no longer pop up as toasts, and server messages are shown in plain language instead of raw ssh output.
0.1.662026-08-14

Computer use settings apply to your next session, and macOS asks up front

Turning computer use on or off now reaches the next session you start, and macOS asks for screen capture access while you set it up instead of interrupting you mid-session.

  • improvedmacOS asks for screen capture access while you set up computer use, not in the middle of a session.
  • fixedTurning computer use on or off now applies to the next session you start; before, a freshly started session could still come up with the previous setting.
  • fixedThe first session you start after logging in to Claude Code is logged in; before, it could open still logged out.
0.1.652026-08-13

iPhone pairing works on every network path

Pairing your iPhone now works on the first try no matter how it reaches the Mac — same Wi-Fi, Tailscale, or the relay. The QR code's one-time token is redeemed directly by the host, so hosts with the relay disabled can pair too, and failed pairings finally say what is actually wrong.

  • fixedFirst-time iPhone pairing silently failed when the iPhone was on the same Wi-Fi as the Mac; the host now authorizes the device on any connection path.
  • addedHosts with the relay disabled can now pair iPhones — authorization no longer depends on the relay.
  • improvedPairing errors are honest: instead of generic SSH advice, the app now says when this device is not authorized yet and that QR codes are single-use.
0.1.642026-08-13

Easier Mac setup: requirement checks, guided installs, no Remote Login

Setting up a Mac is simpler: setup shows a health check of every requirement, walks you through missing pieces like Homebrew, and no longer needs macOS Remote Login.

  • improvedSetting up this Mac no longer requires turning on macOS Remote Login.
  • addedMac setup shows a health check of every requirement, so you see what is ready and what is missing.
  • improvedSetup walks you through installing Homebrew and getting the Xcode Command Line Tools if they are missing.
  • improvedWhen setup needs an admin password, the prompt clearly comes from Offsite.
  • fixedOnboarding windows can be moved by dragging their header.
0.1.632026-08-13

Set up Offsite on this Mac without turning on Remote Login

Setting up the host on the Mac you are already working on no longer needs Remote Login switched on. Setup now shows what is ready and what is missing, and points you to the Command Line Tools if they are not installed yet.

  • addedSet up the host on the Mac you are already using without switching on Remote Login.
  • improvedSetup shows at a glance what is ready on your Mac and what still needs your attention.
  • improvedIf the Command Line Tools are missing, setup tells you how to install them instead of stalling.
0.1.622026-08-13

Simpler Mac setup: no Remote Login needed, plus a setup health check

  • improvedSetting up this Mac no longer requires enabling Remote Login in System Settings.
  • addedSetup shows a health check of everything this Mac needs, so you see at a glance what is missing.
  • improvedSetup spots missing Xcode Command Line Tools and walks you through installing them.
0.1.612026-08-13

Agents can run AppleScript, and Mac hosts install fully on their own

Agents can now run AppleScript on your Mac, behind the same per-session permission lock as the other computer-use tools. Mac hosts also install completely on their own, and the app tells you when an update means a macOS permission needs to be granted again.

  • addedAgents can run AppleScript on your Mac, behind the same per-session permission lock as other tools.
  • improvedMac hosts install completely on their own; the helper apps arrive with the install, no desktop app needed.
  • improvedThe app tells you when an update changed a helper's signature and a macOS permission needs re-granting.
  • fixedHelper apps could install with a development signature, which made macOS forget permission grants after updates; they now install properly signed.
0.1.59-dev2026-08-11

Sessions can talk to each other and hand work to a fresh one

Sessions now work together: tell one something, ask another what it is doing, or hand a task to a fresh session that starts with the context you already built. Agent cards also show a one-line recap of what the session is up to.

  • addedYour sessions can talk to each other: tell one something, or ask what it is working on, without re-explaining the context.
  • addedHand a task to a fresh session with the tool and model you want, and it starts with the context you already built.
  • addedAgents in your sessions can list, message and read each other, and name themselves, from the command line.
  • improvedAgent cards show a one-line recap of what the session is working on when you come back to it.
  • fixedEmpty space around a terminal is blank instead of tmux's dot pattern.
  • fixedIn native fullscreen on macOS, the app bar and tab strip are no longer clipped by an empty strip at the top of the screen.
  • fixedOpening the iPhone app after a long stretch in the background no longer greets you with a stalled card and a Retry button before it has even tried to reconnect.
  • fixedA new session card on a board with pinned cards appears in its final spot instead of jumping a few seconds later.
  • fixedRestoring a session brings back its conversation, including sessions restored automatically when the host starts and ones you parked in the icebox.
  • fixedConnecting from outside your network no longer parks on a dead host link; the relay drops it so the next attempt goes through.
  • fixedA single failing action no longer takes down the connection to the host; only that request fails and everything else keeps running.
  • fixedStarting a session on a Linux host works again instead of failing with an unknown session error.
  • fixedA saved host that still points at an older install keeps working instead of being redirected to a path that is not there.

Sessions can talk to each other, hand off work, and say what they are doing

Sessions are no longer isolated: tell one something, ask another what it is working on, or hand a task to a fresh session with the tool and model you pick. Every agent card now says in one line what it is doing.

  • addedYour sessions can talk to each other: tell one something, or ask what it is working on.
  • addedHand a task to a fresh session with the tool and model you want, starting from the context you built.
  • addedAgent sessions name themselves and show a one-line recap of what they are currently working on.
  • addedAn offsite command on your machine lists running sessions, sends notes into them, and reads their work.
  • fixedEmpty space around a terminal is blank instead of tmux's dot pattern.
  • fixedOn macOS, a fullscreen window now uses the whole screen instead of clipping the app bar and the tab strip under a reserved strip at the top.
  • fixedOpening the iPhone app after a long time in the background no longer shows a stalled session with a Retry button before it has even tried to connect.
  • fixedA new card on a board with pinned cards lands in its final spot instead of appearing outside the pinned strip and jumping a few seconds later.
  • fixedA restored session comes back with its conversation, including after a host restart and when the agent had started a blank one under the same name.
  • fixedA failing action costs you that one request instead of dropping the connection to the host.
  • fixedConnecting from away no longer hangs when the host's side of the relay died; the dead connection is cleared and the app reaches your Mac again.

Send work between sessions, agent CLI, steadier phone sessions

Sessions can now hand work to each other from the card menu, agents name their own card and keep a one-line recap, and iPhone cards come back reliably after the app was in the background.

  • addedSend and Ask on agent cards: pass context to another session instead of re-explaining it there.
  • addedAgents name their own card and keep a one-line recap, so a full board stays readable at a glance.
  • improvedA session resumes with its history intact after the agent's transcript was cleaned up.
  • improvedA new session card appears immediately in the position the host will actually give it.
  • fixediPhone cards no longer stay blank or frozen after the app returns from the background.
  • fixedOne failing request no longer takes the whole host connection down with it.
  • fixedRemote connections recover from dead relay legs instead of hanging on a zombie.
  • fixedEmpty terminal space is blank instead of showing tmux's dot pattern.
