🐞 Fixed

• Phone touch and gesture navigation: after the computer's pointer had been on the phone, the screen edges and gesture navigation could stop responding until the phone restarted (Gesture navigation locked #67). Fixed.
• Exit on the phone: the "Open TwinDesk on your computer" notification no longer comes back after you tap Exit.
• Pictures on the Mac's clipboard: copying pictures and screenshots to and from a Mac works again.
• Quick flicks of the mouse no longer jump to the other computer by accident. Crossing no longer bounces back and forth.
• File drags across the edge: they no longer get stuck at the edge, and a file drag can come back to the computer it started on.
• Shortcuts on different keyboard layouts: Cmd+Z on a German Mac is undo on an English PC, not redo. Ctrl+A/Z/W work on a French Mac.
• Accent keys and AltGr: on German, French and British Mac keyboards, ^ and < no longer swap, and AltGr types € and friends instead of a Cmd shortcut.
• Remote input wakes a sleeping screen on the other computer.
• Screen viewer: Stop also closes the window, and Extend and Mirror show up on Windows right away.
• Virtual camera on Windows says why it couldn't start, for example when the administrator prompt is hidden behind other windows.
• Pairing shows what it's doing and why it failed, with a Retry button.
• Nothing reacts while disconnected: the hotkey and the file shortcuts do nothing until you're connected.

✨ New

• Any keyboard language: Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Sinhala, Thai and more type correctly on the other computer, and Chinese, Japanese and Korean input methods switch over with you.
• Phone stylus as a pen: a stylus on the phone is a real pen on the computer, with pressure, tilt and the eraser.
• Crossing map: the Cursor tab shows both computers' monitors. Drag them to match your desk, and the pointer crosses only where they meet.
• Faster: 1000 Hz mice stay smooth, and files move much faster on the same network.
• New file transfer protocol
• Log files: Open Log Folder in the tray / menu bar menu, for bug reports.

Which Android APK?

• TwinDesk-2.4.0.apk: install this one on your phone.
• TwinDesk-2.4.0-full.apk: the same app plus notification access, text messages and mouse and keyboard through Accessibility, which Play Protect blocks in downloaded apps. Your computer installs it on the phone for you over wireless debugging.
