## What is LocalRock?

Local-network client for robot vacuums: control, map, and onboard your robot through a self-hosted server instead of the robot cloud. Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-21

This version works with your existing server. Pairing newer models that use the V2 setup flow requires a server on v1.1.0 or newer; everything else in this release works on older server versions too.

Pairing:

Setting up a vacuum now waits until the process is genuinely finished. Previously the app could report success as soon as the robot reached your server, before setup had fully completed, leaving you with a vacuum that looked
connected but never showed any data. The app now also tells you when a robot has been set up under different credentials, instead of simply timing out with no explanation.

Camera live view:

Newer models secure the camera with a pattern drawn on a grid rather than a typed code. You can now draw it directly, with the keypad still available for robots that use one.

When a robot refuses to start the stream, the app explains why in plain language instead of showing a raw error. Note that on some models, remote viewing can only be switched on from the manufacturer's own app while the robot
is connected to the manufacturer's cloud, and that setting is lost once the robot is moved to a local server.

Connection reliability:

Reopening the app no longer tears down a healthy connection. Map updates are fetched less aggressively while cleaning, which keeps the link responsive on busy networks. Expired server sessions now recover on their own instead
of asking you to sign in again.

Redesign

The device list, vacuum screen and map view have been reworked, with a larger map and revised light and dark themes.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-16
