Desk2Shell v0.1.0 is the first public developer preview.

It turns a temporary remote-desktop session into temporary, public-key-only SSH access over the user's existing Tailscale network. The release includes the macOS controller, encrypted one-time enrollment, a self-contained Windows Bootstrap, isolated SSH service on port 2222, scoped firewall access, automatic expiry, and explicit revocation.

Requirements:

  • Apple-silicon Mac running macOS 14 or newer
  • Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 target
  • Tailscale on the controller and a one-off, non-ephemeral Tailscale Auth Key

Important developer-preview boundary: the macOS app and DMG are Developer ID signed and Apple notarized. The embedded Windows Bootstrap is currently unsigned, so Windows may show Unknown publisher, SmartScreen may require More infoRun anyway, and policy-managed computers may refuse to run it.

This preview has not completed the clean Windows 10/11 field-test matrix documented in the repository.
