Blackcrab 0.3.0
The biggest release yet — a more capable desktop, plus the host side of a new mobile companion.
Desktop
- Read-only session view with live tailing
- Diagnostics console that records recent errors
- Expanded command palette (keyword search + more actions)
- Saved grid layouts, with palette commands
- Backup & restore for local app data (transcripts and secrets excluded)
- Clearer session-conflict handling for single-writer rejections
- Resuming a conversation no longer fails when its original model has been retired
- Smoother, no-jump transcript scrolling
Blackcrab Remote — coming soon to iPhone & Android
The companion mobile app that pairs with your desktop:
- End-to-end encrypted pairing over LAN, with an encrypted relay fallback off-network
- Live session list, transcripts (formatted text + terminal-style tool cards), and approval prompts
- Send messages, stop sessions, approve/deny, and start or continue sessions from your phone
- A synced "where you left off" read cursor across desktop and phone
The mobile app ships separately via TestFlight, then the App Store and Google Play.
