Switchboard v1.6.0
macOS v1.6.0 — Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), macOS 12+.
What's changed
Switchboard 1.6.0 polishes the AI-agent integration, adds two new privacy and update settings, and fixes system-log accuracy.
Added
- AI agent improvements — configured agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can now be removed from the MCP page, and their config files opened for editing directly (Switchboard Personal)
- AI health check — AI agents can run a read-only guard report to surface forgotten services, port conflicts, and recent failures before acting — no scans or mutations triggered (Switchboard Personal)
- Auto-install updates — optional setting (Settings → Updates, off by default) auto-applies a downloaded update with a 10-second cancelable countdown
- Redact command output — new privacy setting (Settings → Security, off by default) replaces all stdout/stderr in Activity, AI results, and diagnostics with
[output omitted] - Replace-mode config import — Config Import dialog now has a Replace toggle that makes your config exactly match the imported bundle, removing unrecognized services and commands
Changed
- Observer inbox now groups by service — one entry per underlying service instead of one per detection signal, reducing noise when a single service triggers multiple signals
Fixed
- System logs no longer mis-flags benign lines as errors (e.g., "Default" was incorrectly matching "fault") — error counts and offender rankings are now accurate
- Deleting a service now cleans up its orphaned command configurations and approvals
