1.2.0
October 24, 2026
RootDeck 1.2.0 brings an AI agent to your own server, finds servers on your local network, keeps your session alive when you switch apps, and adds terminal themes and Simplified Chinese. AI AGENT • A new Agent tab: chat with Codex, Claude Code, Grok or GitHub Copilot running on your server — Linux, macOS or Windows. • Install the agent and sign in right in the app. Or add your own API agent for any OpenAI-compatible provider; the key is stored only on your server. • Pick the model and reasoning level, see your account and usage limits, and sign out to switch accounts. • Access levels: Read Only, Working Folder, Auto (a separate model reviews commands for Codex and Claude Code) and Full Access. Approve requests and answer the agent's questions right in the conversation. • Connectors: browse the MCP catalog, add connectors and sign in to them. • Attach files, photos and folders, dictate on the device, and follow long-running background tasks — you get a notification when they finish. • Conversation history and readable action lines instead of raw commands. CONNECTIONS • Find SSH servers on your local network and connect with a tap. • Optional: keep your session alive when you switch to another app, with a connection card on the Lock Screen and a journal of where you connected from. Location is used only for this and stays on your device. • The server form shows the saved host key; keys left without a server are removed. TERMINAL • Ten color themes, a Day and Night mode that follows the system, and cursor styles. • A themed key bar with function keys; Page Up fixed. • Change the text size from the terminal menu. ALSO • Five app themes. • RootDeck now speaks Simplified Chinese. • The privacy policy moved to the menu and covers every new feature.
