Protocol: 3 (unchanged)
Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gladimdim/super-desktop/master/install.sh | SUPER_DESKTOP_VERSION=v1.2.0 bash

Changes since v1.1.21.

What users see

  • A command-line interface, super-desktop, for people and agents: list and inspect terminals and harnesses, launch harnesses with a prompt and card position, read terminal output, send input, move, resize, focus, color-tag and close cards, manage notes, layouts, settings, shortcuts, file references and pairing, and attach to a terminal. Changes are guarded and leave receipts. See CLI.md for the full reference.
  • A local MCP server lets agents read the desktop's terminals and, when you allow it in Settings, coordinate them: launch harnesses, send input and wait for a launch to finish.
  • Arrange fills the current workspace: cards favor readable landscape terminals, and an incomplete last row stretches across the full width instead of leaving gaps.
  • After a reboot, each card resumes its own Claude Code or Codex conversation, not just the latest one in that folder.
  • The Files panel finds more files in terminal output, including paths that Claude Code or Codex wrapped onto the next line in a narrow card, and plays audio files.
  • Showing the overlay is smoother: cards reuse the still images taken when it was hidden.
  • The install command and Settings → Updates follow releases instead of the development branch. SUPER_DESKTOP_VERSION=latest installs the newest release, and SUPER_DESKTOP_VERSION=master follows the branch.
  • Arch packages, released source archives that include Rust dependency license notices, and a GPL-3.0-only license declaration.
  • An early macOS development build of the desktop.
  • A redesigned website with live demos and real clips, and link previews when the website is shared on social sites.

Bridge changes

  • Adds optional phone-sized terminals: a compatible phone can request a terminal grid that fits its screen through the opt-in viewport=1 stream negotiation, renewed every 10 seconds and expiring within 30 seconds when the connection is lost.
  • Older phones keep the existing stream behavior unchanged. Newer phones on an older PC see no viewport capability and keep font fitting and panning.
  • Protocol stays at 3. Existing routes, fields and frames remain available.

Fixes

  • Terminal bounds are correct after a display change.
  • Rebuilds work when CARGO_TARGET_DIR is inherited from the environment.
  • The still image shown while the overlay slides is no longer blank for a busy terminal.
  • A daemon closing its socket no longer loses the reply of a lifecycle command.

Validation

  • The full Rust suite passed: 668 main-binary tests plus the library, client and integration tests. Seven opt-in tests were ignored, and large-screen GTK checks skipped their assertions as usual.
  • Real-phone compatibility testing was not performed for this release.
