Release notes for Poket PC products and major site changes. Feature-level detail for the apps lives in product documentation and the security page.
10 October 2026
Mac helper 1.0.3
- Published Mac helper 1.0.3 (build 5), a notarized Developer ID disk image. Installed helpers are offered it through the update feed, with a delta from 1.0.0, 1.0.1 or 1.0.2.
- Shift-click and Cmd-click from a phone. Modifiers held on a controller’s modifier bar now apply to clicks, drags and scrolls, not only to keys. Each session keeps its own held modifiers and mouse button, and the helper lets go of them when that session ends.
- Switching a schedule off while it is running now stays off.
- Schedules and Quiet tasks on the Claude subscription are now refused with a message that says why: Claude Code works from a screenshot, and these runs take none. A schedule made or switched on under that model is kept off, a run that falls due is skipped with the reason, and the two daily reports are installed switched off on such a Mac. Before, these runs ended without an answer.
- A long-running task no longer looks finished to a phone that reconnects while it runs: the helper keeps the task snapshot within the size a frame can carry.
6 October 2026
Mac helper 1.0.2
- Published Mac helper 1.0.2 (build 4), a notarized Developer ID disk image. Installed helpers are offered it through the update feed, with a delta from 1.0.0 or 1.0.1.
- Fixed Ask on your Claude subscription when the helper starts at login or from Finder. Those launches gave the helper a search path without Homebrew or
~/.local/bin, so tasks reported that Claude Code was not installed even when it was. The helper now uses the same search path as your shell, and tool servers started by name, such as npx, are found the same way.
1 October 2026
Mac helper 1.0.1
- Published Mac helper 1.0.1 (build 3), a notarized Developer ID disk image like 1.0.0. The update feed lists it with a delta from 1.0.0, and the DMG’s SHA-256 is on the Mac page.
- Added a Copy Link for a Browser button to the pairing panel. The browser client is still a preview.
- Fixed memory that kept growing while the helper waited on the relay for your paired devices.
