What's New
- FrostLock Remote for Android: Pair a phone with FrostLock for Windows using a short-lived QR code, then approve the pairing on your PC. Download the Android companion app from the releases page of Frostlock-Remote.
- Control FrostLock from your phone: Check freeze status, start eligible freezes, adjust lock settings, and release freezes allowed by your PC’s policy.
- Optional phone PIN release: Allow paired phones to release PIN freezes without entering the PIN on the PC. This is off by default and requires confirmation in Settings.
Improvements & Changes
- Gentle mode: Windows shortcuts remain available, and the overlay no longer stays on top of other windows.
- Tray quick-freeze: Added 2-hour and 4-hour options, plus refreshed menu icons and dismissal behavior.
- Tray release behavior: Removed the direct “Release freeze” tray command. Use the lock screen or unlock shortcut to release locally.
- Added Settings → LAN & phone to enable phone access, pair or revoke devices, and configure the optional public-network testing override.
Security
- Phone connections use HTTPS over private IPv4. Pairing codes expire after three minutes, and new phones must be approved on the PC.
- Hard-mode and USB-triggered freezes cannot be controlled from a phone.
- No cloud relay or router port forwarding is required. Windows Firewall may need an inbound rule on the Private profile.
