What's new

  • Wears your Mac's theme. With RoachNet 1.1, the companion picks up the theme you chose in Settings › Appearance on the Mac, light themes included. Turn it off under Connection › Appearance.
  • The token stays off shared networks. It only travels over HTTPS, inside a tailnet (Tailscale addresses and *.ts.net names), or to this device. Plain http:// to RoachNet, a .local name or a Wi-Fi address is refused with a note that says why. The RoachNet alias still works in the Simulator on the Mac it points at.
  • Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode before Org decisions, changing the token, or forgetting the Mac.
  • The RoachTail join code on the Runtime tab is hidden until you tap it.
  • Bridge URLs with a path (https://relay.example/roachnet) keep their path on every request.
  • An install the Mac refuses (a pack sent to 1.0.x, an unknown pack, a refused host) shows the Mac's reason instead of sitting in the offline queue. With RoachNet 1.1, theme and speech packs from RoachNet Apps install from the phone.
If you paired 0.2.0 over plain http

0.3.0 refuses plain http:// to a .local name or a Wi-Fi address. Pair again through RoachTail or a tailnet address. Install the iOS companion has the steps.
