Requirements and installation
Requires macOS 15.6 or later. One universal download supports Intel and Apple silicon Macs.
Open the DMG, drag PocketCtrl to Applications, eject the installer, and open PocketCtrl from Applications.
Existing updater-enabled versions can use Check for Updates after this release and its signed feed are published.
Version 1.0 needs a manual installation to gain the updater.
Ordinary remote-desktop pairing and media protocols are unchanged. Computer Use requires an updated viewer with the robot button, an OpenAI API key, and a separate device grant; existing devices do not receive that grant automatically.
Computer Use sends task instructions, screenshots, and limited Accessibility context to OpenAI. API charges apply. Supervise tasks and keep sensitive content closed.
