## What is LiveView?

See your Mac's terminals on your iPhone and command Claude Code by voice — from the couch, the café, anywhere.

LiveView connects your iPhone to your Mac and turns it into a remote control for your AI work:

• SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPING — tap the microphone, dictate your request, and hear the reply read aloud (human voice, generated on the iPhone itself, offline).
• SEE YOUR MAC'S SCREEN — your terminals live, with zone views (left, center, right, or full screen).
• THREE WAYS TO CONNECT — Relay (works anywhere, zero setup), Home (direct WiFi) and Away (via Tailscale, the most private).
• QUICK PROMPTS — phrases you send with one tap, saved to your account.
• KEYBOARD & QUICK KEYS — arrows, Enter and a full keyboard to navigate the terminal.
• WINDOWS & COMMANDS — open 3 tidy terminals, switch apps, resume projects.
• CONVERSATION ARCHIVE — search, tag and export everything you said and heard.
• VOICE-GUIDED TUTORIAL — the app explains itself, step by step, in 8 languages.

REQUIRES A MAC: LiveView works together with the free Mac companion app (Apple Silicon), available at liveview.thecosmicapp.com.

PRICING: LiveView Pro is a subscription (monthly or yearly) with 7 days free. Renews automatically; cancel anytime in your Apple Settings.

Privacy: your content is yours. In Relay mode our server only forwards the connection — it never reads your data. Policy: liveview.thecosmicapp.com/privacy.html

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.2 — 2026-08-21

Smoother voice: in long conversations, queued replies now speak one by one at the end of your turn and nothing gets lost — if any remain unheard, the app tells you how many. New quick-talk button: one tap and you are instantly talking to the identity you choose; if its terminal does not exist, the Mac opens it for you. Voice reliability tuning.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-16

If you don't have the Mac app yet, the first screen and the guide now show where to download it — with a direct button to our website. Small fixes.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-13

• Voices for your conversation identities: pick a voice inside any identity and the app downloads everything it needs (engine + voice) with one tap — size shown before you confirm.
• 26 local voices rendered on your Mac, plus optional ElevenLabs voices with your own key.
• Command word with modes: answer yes/no cards by voice, hands-free.
• New in-app voice guide: "how to talk to me".
• Speech speed levels and per-identity voices.
• Stronger sign-in options and smoother reconnection on trusted devices.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-31

A big update — the app gained identity:
• Identity Mode: give each terminal a name, a face and a voice — call it by name and the conversation follows it
• Identity names speak your language: recognized by voice and shown in 8 languages
• Identity cards with avatars — your photos stay on your device only
• Privacy in 3 vaults (account, iPhone, Mac): you choose where conversations, dictations and voices live — your voice audio never goes to the cloud
• Spoken terminal permission requests: answer yes or no by voice
• Reorganized production deck: login, paste and enter side by side; opens in Essential
• Human voices in 7 languages and plain-language alerts
• Renewed tutorial and dozens of stability improvements

### 1.1 — 2026-07-21

• New Command Deck: your key actions in one place — open terminals, prompts, resume, history, sound, settings and help — in themed rows with a dedicated control column.
• Three deck sizes: Minimal, Essential and Full.
• Long-press any button to learn what it does, without triggering it.
• Guided tour now dives inside each menu, in the new order.
• New Write to Mac bar: type or dictate, one-tap close, history unified with the terminal timeline.
• Premium design pass: cleaner colors, better spacing, refined labels.
• Many fixes, including keyboard/viewport glitches.
