What's New

  • Home-screen widget: Add a FrostLock PC control widget for one paired PC. It mirrors the app's Freeze/Unfreeze circle and shows the mode and time left as of the last check.
  • Resizable widget: The widget starts at 2×2 and can be resized horizontally and vertically. Placements under 150dp use a compact layout with a smaller circle and a one-line status, so nothing clips.
  • Quick Settings tile: Freeze or unfreeze the PC you used last, straight from the notification shade. The tile checks the PC's real state before acting.
  • Freeze notification: An ongoing notification with a live countdown and an inline Unfreeze action while a freeze is active.
  • Task manager: Live CPU, memory, disk, and network charts, a searchable process list, process details, End task / Force end / Restart / Start task, and a run-command box.
  • Connection details: Each PC page shows its endpoint, connection state, and pinned certificate fingerprint.

Improvements & Security

  • Every unfreeze goes through the same confirmation screen, whether it starts in the app, widget, tile, or notification. It asks for fingerprint/face or the device credential. Starting a freeze never needs confirmation.
  • The app no longer asks for a fingerprint just to open. A scan is requested only when you unfreeze.
  • Lock options are reachable from the PC page, and the app uses the PC's saved mode, duration, and safety policy before enabling a freeze.
  • Offline PCs show an unknown state and disable actions that need a confirmed status.
  • Direct HTTPS connections pin the certificate received during pairing. Each paired PC uses a non-exportable Android Keystore signing key.
  • No cloud account, relay, telemetry, or router port forwarding.

Technical Changes

  • versionName 1.1.0 (versionCode 3). Requires Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer.
  • Freeze control works with FrostLock for Windows 1.5.0 and older. The task manager needs FrostLock for Windows 1.6.0 or newer.
  • Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Unit tests and the GitHub Actions release build passed.
  • Release APK: Frostlock.Remote.v1.1.0.apk (~24 MB).

What's New
