Shellbell 0.15.1

Shellbell 0.15.1 includes the Apple silicon Mac app (build 57), the macOS CLI package, Linux ARM64 and x64 archives, and the shared CLI installer.

Fixed

• Keep-awake keeps working. In 0.15.0, once an agent newer than Shellbell has tested started (such as a new Claude Code), the Mac app could no longer read the service's status. Keep-awake and closed-lid then quietly stopped while their switches still showed on, so the Mac could sleep overnight and your phone couldn't connect. The app now reads status as before, and the Mac stays awake.
• shellbell connect and shellbell config set conversations failed the same way after a newer agent started. Both work again.

If you use the Mac app with keep-awake, update now. Keep-awake and closed-lid stay on when the new version opens within 15 minutes of quitting the old one; otherwise turn them back on.

Install or update

curl -fsSL https://shellbell.dev/install.sh | sh

Managed CLI installs: shellbell update. npm installs: npm install -g shellbell@latest. Mac app: Settings → Check for updates, then install the DMG.

Qualification and compatibility

The Mac DMG passed Developer ID signing, Apple notarization, stapling and bundle-integrity checks. The CLI package passed an isolated install smoke test. The Linux archives passed installation, a real WebRTC connection, repeat, checksum-failure, synthetic-upgrade and removal checks in Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 containers on ARM64 and x64 (emulated). Physical Intel Macs and Windows hosts are not included.

Works with relay 0.4.1 and the current phone apps. No re-pairing is required.
