v2.0.0

PowerDeck now controls any number of computers.

  • Linux helper (including Proxmox), next to Windows. One-line install on both (install.sh, install.ps1), checked against the release's checksums (and on Linux its Ed25519 signature).
  • No pairing for your own devices: a helper trusts phones signed in to the same Tailscale account. Devices on another account use an 8-character code.
  • Add devices in seconds: scan one helper's QR code (or type its Tailscale name) and the others it finds on your tailnet, helpers and NanoKVMs, appear to add with one tap.
  • Wake from anything that's on: any helper on the same network sends the Wake-on-LAN signal, or a NanoKVM, or the phone itself at home.
  • NanoKVM for any device: link one to any computer's power button. It turns the computer on (after checking the power light) and is the fallback for shutting down. Force-off is hidden behind a confirmation.
  • Someone using it? Shutdown and restart ask first when someone is active or a game is full-screen. A 60-second countdown you can cancel.
  • Hold to shut down instead of confirmation dialogs.
  • Schedules: shut down, restart or wake at set times, skipped while the computer is in use.
  • Setup checks with Fix buttons, History, Update and shut down (Windows).
  • AI agents (MCP): let an agent or script check and control devices through an always-on helper, with strict limits and per-key permissions.
  • Notifications when a schedule or an agent acts, or a device goes offline.
  • Widget with every device, four Quick Settings tiles, per-device home-screen shortcuts.
  • Safer by design: a NanoKVM presses the power button only when the helper doesn't answer and the power light reads off, and only once it has seen that computer's light on; linking one checks the light matches the computer. Keys from a pairing code control only that device and can't create other keys. The PC window works only for the person at the screen (or an administrator).
  • Coming from 1.0: the 1.0 helper updates itself to 2.0, after which the 1.0 app can't reach it. Install the 2.0 app, then add the PC again (scan its code).
