macOS v1.9.0 — Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), macOS 12+.

What's changed

Switchboard 1.9.0 adds service groups, external uptime monitoring, a revamped Tools page, and per-tool AI access controls — plus bundled Switchboard documentation and a batch of reliability fixes.

Added

  • Service Groups — group services into ordered stacks from the Services dashboard. Start a group and Switchboard brings each member up in sequence, waiting for readiness before moving on. Groups carry their own approval policy (confirm, trust, or skip risky actions).
  • Uptime monitoring — a new Uptime tool (Switchboard Pro) lets you register external URLs and APIs to watch. Switchboard checks them on your chosen interval, tracks 24h and 7d availability, and notifies you when a site goes down or comes back up.
  • Bundled Switchboard docs — the Docs tool now ships Switchboard's own documentation built in, so you can look things up without leaving the app. Your own registered doc sources appear alongside in a separate corpus.

Changed

  • Tools page — the Tools surface is now organized into sections (Core / Observability / System), searchable and filterable by status or MCP availability, with a card grid and a slide-out detail drawer per tool. Beta tools are hidden by default.
  • Per-tool AI access control — each AI-capable tool now has a dedicated AI access toggle. Opt a tool out of MCP exposure without disabling it in-app. The control lives in the tool's drawer on the Tools page.
  • Stream log sources — log output is now opt-in per source; the stream check gate output is more compact.
  • MCP agent support — Qwen Code is now a detected agent with full installer support. Stale install paths are detected and surfaced in the connector UX. Structured-content wrapping and capability-aware instructions are fixed.

Fixed

  • Disabled tools no longer surface data to AI agents.
  • Stale observer adoption decisions are now retained safely across restarts.
  • Label editor controls and timeline action localization corrected.
  • Exponential backoff added for repeatedly-panicking log-source streams.
