ShellVibe 1.3.0

Added

Account, cloud backup and sync

• An optional ShellVibe account. Nothing requires one: the terminal, SSH, the
  vault and local Device Link all work signed out. Signing in keeps this
  install's device id, so one machine stays one entry in the account's device
  list however often it signs in again.
• Cloud backup uploads the encrypted vault and restores it. The server only
  ever holds the sealed envelope; the passphrase, the keys and the decrypted
  data stay on the device. A recovery code opens the envelope when the
  passphrase is lost.
• Backups can run on a schedule — hourly, daily or weekly, off by default.
  There is no background task on any platform, so "daily" means once a day,
  the first time the app is opened, and Settings says so. A backup that
  changed nothing is not written again.
• A backup, to a file or to the account, carries the categories the user
  picks. Port forwards are locked while hosts are off, since a forward cannot
  exist without its host.
• Automatic sync keeps devices in step in both directions. Joining an account
  never replaces what a device holds: a phone with two hosts joining a desktop
  with sixty ends at sixty-two, whichever joined first, and the join reports
  what it merged.
• A delete that sync carried to every device can be taken back from the trash,
  on every device.
• Cloud backup, cloud sync and remote Device Link are on the free plan; the
  account screen shows the storage quota rather than a paywall.

Terminal

• Tabs can be dragged into a new order. A click still selects a tab; on a
  phone the drag starts after a hold, since a swipe scrolls the strip.
• Right-clicking a tab offers Close Tab, Close Other Tabs, and Close Tabs to
  the Left or to the Right. Split panes close with their tab.

Templates

• A template opens every pane at once and connects them side by side. The
  hosts screen and the ⌘K palette switch to the terminal straight away instead
  of after the last host has connected, and a slow host no longer holds up
  the rest of the layout.
• Every template is listed in the ⌘K palette, not only starred ones, and in
  Connect to Host, and both search it by name and description.
• A template can be viewed and edited without running it: each tab with its
  nested panes and the host each connects to, with panes a run would skip
  flagged. Panes can be pointed at another host, split, turned or removed;
  tabs can be added, moved or removed. It opens from the template menu on the
  hosts screen and from the Run Template sheet.

Desktop

• ShellVibe keeps running in the system tray (the menu bar on macOS). On
  Windows and Linux closing the window hides it, so tunnels and sessions keep
  running, and the tray menu shows what is still open and holds Quit. It is
  on by default and can be turned off under Settings → Appearance → Window.
• A second launch on Windows or Linux brings the running copy forward instead
  of starting another beside it.

Changed

• The status bar under the terminal is gone. user@host:port is on a split
  pane's header and a single tab's tooltip; a quiet Mosh link and an attached
  Device Link phone are badges on the tab, the Device Link one disconnecting
  on click.
• Settings on a phone opens on an index of sections, each on a page of its
  own, instead of one long scroll. AI Access, which configures a bridge that
  only runs on a desktop, is not shown on a phone, and Device Link shows only
  this device's side of each pairing.
• Backup and Sync are separate sections: a backup is a copy the user takes,
  sync is what runs on its own.

Fixed

• On macOS, Option-composed characters type in apps that turn on xterm's
  modifyOtherKeys, such as Claude Code. On a Turkish Q layout Option+Q could
  not type @ there, nor Option+8 [ and the rest of the Option layer.
  (xterm3 6.3.2)
• Text on the alternate screen stays selectable as a session runs on, and a
  press on blank space starts a selection. (xterm3 6.3.1)
• The search fields were 48px tall with a wide gap before the text; they are
  the height of the controls around them and have a clear button. The
  terminal's find bar no longer draws a second, smaller frame inside itself.
• Light mode gives split pane headers, the active tab and the command approval
  dialog light chrome instead of the dark theme's.
• Sync no longer looks healthy while doing nothing: two devices that switched
  it on together each ended up with their own key, a page boundary could skip
  an operation, the join reported success whatever happened, and automatic
  sync did not run at all. Each of these now either works or says it did not.
• Every Android phone registered on an account as "localhost"; it now takes
  the device's name, or its platform.

Verifying your download

Every file is listed in SHA256SUMS:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

These builds are not code-signed

There is no code-signing certificate behind this release yet. Your operating
system does not know who built these files, and it will say so. That warning is
accurate: verify the checksums above before you run anything here.

macOS refuses the app outright and reports that it cannot be checked for
malware. To open it anyway:

1. Drag ShellVibe to Applications and try to open it once. It will be blocked.
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and press
   Open Anyway next to the ShellVibe message.
3. Confirm with your password.

macOS 15 removed the old Control-click shortcut, so this is the only route, and
you will repeat it after every update.

Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" with an unknown publisher. Press
More info, then Run anyway. The warning will not fade with time:
reputation accumulates against a certificate, and there is none.

Linux needs nothing special. chmod +x the AppImage and run it.

Signed builds are planned. Until then — if turning off your operating system's
malware protection for an SSH client is not a trade you want to make, which is
a reasonable position — build it yourself instead:

git clone https://github.com/klc/shellvibe && cd shellvibe
flutter build macos --release      # or: linux, windows
