What's New

Upgrading from 1.2.0 requires one manual download per platform (this release fixes the update pipeline itself) — after that, in-app updates work normally on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Added

  • Roku Cloud Emulator (RCE) support — connect with a Personal Access Token to start/stop Roku's cloud-hosted virtual devices and use them just like a physical device: remote control, ECP, Console, sideload, screenshots, App Connector, and the debugger.
  • Ports Window — a standalone per-device window with tabs for the 8080 SceneGraph console, 8087 screensaver console, and 8081 debug protocol (debugger, REPL, live wire trace), plus a Custom Port tab.
  • Sideload Relay — per-device relay controls with a dev-password flow.
  • Device Performance — a System/Graphics memory mode, bitmap inspection, chart history, and CSV/JSON/image export.
  • Console Monitor — now tracks Roku launch/performance beacons alongside BrightScript errors.
  • MCP — full-content search across captured network requests, new filters, and a "View MCP Tools" modal.
  • A live Device Info panel with device photos in the device modal.
  • An Open action on file-related toasts.
  • A Forget on quit option for remote locations.

Changed

  • Network Session Viewer now matches the live Network tab feature-for-feature.
  • macOS builds are now signed and notarized — no more Gatekeeper workaround needed.
  • General polish and optimizations: unified modal animations, refined workflows across Fiddle, Dev App, Remote, Log Viewer and Query, faster device auto-connect on startup, a redesigned About dialog, and consistent release artifact naming.
  • Various dependency and documentation updates.

Fixed

  • Auto-updater — clearer error messages and improved update reliability across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • Network Inspector — improved body-content detection and search/find reliability.
  • Debugger & Console — numerous stability fixes for attach/detach and output handling across local, lab-server, and Cloud Emulator devices.
  • Sideload Relay & Auto Connect — fixed duplicate device tabs and reconnect edge cases.
  • General stability and bug fixes across Remote Server, Fiddle, and Action Scripts.

Security

  • Updated dependencies to address known security advisories.

  • Click "More info"
  • Click "Run anyway"

Note for Windows: The app is not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen will show a warning initially.
