What's New in MuxPad
1.6.2
October 28, 2026
Matched the keyboard toolbar background to the terminal and widened the key strip on iPhone Duo. Hold keys to repeat, and double-tap Ctrl or Alt to lock them, with VoiceOver lock actions. Connection setup commands are now hidden, and the previous screen keeps its full size while reconnecting. Collapsed folders are skipped during startup auto-connect, and you can connect or disconnect a whole folder. iPad Overview again shows multiple columns that fit the window and lists sessions needing input or working first. Background agent work is now shown separately from completion (requires the updated muxpad status hook on the server). When tmux fails to start, shell output is preserved and retry guidance is shown.
