Phone Use 0.1.2.

New

  • An app icon: a sleepy cloud hugging its phone, on Linux, macOS and iPhone. The Mac DMG now has an Applications shortcut to drag the app into.
  • Mac: agents can read the screen. The app reads it with Apple's built-in text recognition (Vision), which adds 72 KB and takes about 0.2 s per screen.
  • The name is "Phone Use" everywhere you read it: the AirPlay receiver ("Phone Use on "), this PC's Bluetooth ("Phone Use"), and the bridge ("Phone Use Bridge", firmware 0.2.6).
  • "After a delay" is the default agent control for new installs.

Bridge firmware 0.2.6

  • Named Phone Use Bridge in Bluetooth and on its screen. Phone Use still finds bridges on older firmware.

Known gaps: the iPhone app isn't in the App Store yet (build it from ios/), and released copies don't send Live Activity or agent notifications to the iPhone yet.
