Requirements: macOS 26.3 or later, Apple Silicon. No gcloud.

What's new

• Accounts in a rail on the left, each with a badge for its open problems; ⌥⌘1…9 switches between them.
• Session bar on SSH and Remote Desktop tabs: status, account, user@vm, address, route and Disconnect.
• Folder transfers: upload and download whole folders; folders and many small files travel packed with tar, so 5,000 small files take seconds.
• Tunnels ride out relay drops, Wi-Fi outages and sleep, and New Tunnel… can pick the VM's network interface.
• Refused connections name the program a tunnel turned away, with Change Access….
• Settings in tabs, Manage Subscription… and Enter New Key… in License.

Plus fixes, security hardening and polish throughout. Full notes: CHANGELOG.md ·
