New version 1.5.0 → 1.6.0

- Terminal: Added touch-first mouse controls for tmux, OpenCode, Herdr, and other mouse-aware TUI apps; voice input; pinned terminal and tmux sessions; configurable tmux prefixes; Page Up/Page Down support; improved Simple Command results; and more resilient reconnection. - Hosts: Added local aliases, custom icons, host pinning, faster cached discovery, and an improved SSH key picker. - Monitoring: Redesigned host monitoring with denser CPU, memory, network, disk, and disk I/O views. You can now inspect process details and end stalled processes remotely. - Containers: Added Apple Container detection and management on supported macOS hosts. NovaScale Pro can deploy new Docker and Apple containers. - Remote Codex: Added thread fork, pin, and rename; goals and subagent views; improved approvals, activity, Markdown, attachments, host maintenance, long-thread loading, foreground recovery, and support for current Codex models and effort levels. - Remote notifications: NovaScale Pro can now notify you when Remote Codex work needs attention even after you leave the app. Notification content remains privacy-conscious, with thread details resolved on device. - Files and sharing: Share files from the system Share sheet to SFTP, active terminal sessions, or Codex threads. Direct Codex transfers use the app-server WebSocket and are available free; NovaScale Pro adds linked SSH/SFTP acceleration with byte progress. - Web: Added SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT proxy routing through another tailnet host, optional access to self-signed sites, and improved background audio for self-hosted media such as Jellyfin. - Reliability: Rebuilt the SSH and Codex transport foundations, improved terminal and SFTP warm-up behavior, updated terminal rendering and color handling, and fixed numerous connection, scrolling, synchronization, performance, and crash issues. NovaScale is not affiliated with Tailscale Inc. or OpenAI. Remote Codex connects to your own Codex CLI/app-server, and your code, chats, and workspace data remain on your host. Thank you to everyone who has shared feature requests and issue reports. Enjoy the update, and please keep the feedback coming.

About

NovaScale is a remote-work and server-operations workspace built for Tailscale. Use SSH, monitoring, private web tools, SFTP, and Remote Codex from one app—without the overhead of repeatedly turning a separate Tailscale VPN connection on and off. Built-in Tailscale keeps your tailnet available inside NovaScale, while traditional SSH hosts and custom control servers such as Headscale remain fully supported. Core SSH, monitoring, web, and Remote Codex workflows are available free with practical limits. NovaScale Pro expands capacity and adds SFTP, flexible iCloud sync, remote push, container deployment, and advanced customization. ACCESS AND HOSTS - Discover tailnet machines automatically with live updates - Work with Tailscale SSH hosts and traditional SSH servers in one app - Organize machines with local aliases, custom icons, groups, favorites, and pins SSH TERMINAL - Recover sessions across Wi-Fi, cellular, VPN, and foreground/background changes - Pin important terminal and tmux sessions for faster return - Navigate tmux copy mode with Page Up and Page Down and choose a familiar prefix such as Ctrl-A - Use touch gestures with tmux, OpenCode, Herdr, and other mouse-aware TUI apps for scrolling, clicking, selection, and context menus - Use Apple’s offline on-device dictation in Terminal and Codex on supported iOS 26 devices/languages; raw audio isn’t uploaded REMOTE CODEX - Connect to your own Codex CLI/app-server on Mac or Linux over Tailscale - Resume, fork, pin, and rename threads without disrupting desktop work - Dictate prompts offline, follow goals and subagents, review Markdown and changes, and handle approvals remotely - Share files to Codex threads over the direct authenticated app-server WebSocket connection - Free use supports one Codex host, in-app banners, and best-effort local notifications - Link an SSH host with NovaScale Pro for faster SFTP file transfers with byte progress - NovaScale Pro adds optional remote push when host-backed work needs you, even while NovaScale is disconnected - Uses the official Codex app-server; authentication, chats, code, and workspace data remain on your host MONITOR AND ACT - View resource trends for CPU, memory, network, disk, and disk I/O - Inspect process details and end stalled processes remotely - Monitor and manage Docker containers - Detect and manage Apple containers on supported macOS hosts - Deploy new Docker and Apple containers with NovaScale Pro - Designed for Linux servers, Macs, cloud instances, and homelab systems WEB AND FILE WORKFLOWS - Open dashboards and self-hosted services by URL, MagicDNS name, or Tailscale IP - Route browser traffic through a SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxy on another tailnet host - Optionally access sites using self-signed certificates - Keep audio playing in the background from services such as Jellyfin - With NovaScale Pro, browse, upload, download, preview, and edit remote files over SFTP - Share files from iOS into SFTP folders, active terminal sessions, and Remote Codex threads COMPATIBILITY - iOS 15+ for SSH, monitoring, Remote Codex, and file management - In-app web access requires iOS 17+ - Remote Codex requires your own Codex CLI/app-server - Apple Container features require a supported macOS host TRANSPARENCY - NovaScale is not affiliated with Tailscale Inc. or OpenAI - Optional Remote Push uses an open-source host-side companion agent included in the Codex bootstrap repository. It can be disabled at any time. - Remote Push sends only opaque IDs and signed lifecycle events—not prompts, code, commands, patches, responses, transcript paths, or working directories. - Codex bootstrap wrapper and companion agent: https://github.com/GalaxNet-Ltd/nova-codex-bootstrap - Built on a maintained libtailscale fork: https://github.com/GalaxNet-Ltd/libtailscale - Support: nova-support@galaxnet.cc - Terms: https://galaxnet.dev/nova/legal/tos/ - Privacy: https://galaxnet.dev/nova/legal/privacy/
