tacticremote CLI 1.8.1
tacticremote CLI 1.8.1
tacticremote is the command-line server that pairs with the Tactic Remote iOS app. This release introduces first-class native binaries for all platforms, including native Windows support.
Why a separate cli-v1.8.1 tag? Tactic Remote v1.8.0 is the main release for the Mac/Windows/iOS apps. The CLI is tracked independently because npm's
tacticremote@1.8.0slot was retired during architecture migration; we picked up at 1.8.1 to keep a clean published series.
Install / Upgrade
npm install -g tacticremote@latest # currently 1.8.1
# or run once without install
npx tacticremoteWhat changed in the CLI
- Native binaries via
optionalDependencies—npm installonly fetches the binary matching your platform (darwin/linux/win32 × arm64/x64). Same pattern used by esbuild and swc. - Windows support — A native Windows binary ships for the first time.
- Significantly smaller install — The published launcher is 4 files, 6 KB (down from 269 KB previously). Real implementation lives in
@tacticremote/server-<platform>-<arch>packages.
