Use a fully interactive terminal from Tidey Remote, including live tmux input, terminal colors, quick keys, and command-aware controls. Scroll back through the same retained terminal history available on your Mac, long-press to paste, and interrupt commands with Ctrl-C. This release also adds local video previews, native session and split-panel support, workspace closing, and more reliable navigation and reconnection behavior.

  - Codex sessions now appear in chat with live terminal output, tool activity, and a clear starting state.
  - Claude Code workflow confirmation prompts now show up in Remote.
  - Improved chat reliability: panel mode retention, initial scroll position, and markdown rendering.
  - Faster, steadier connections with preferred Tailscale routing and safer timeout handling.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-16

Tidey Remote 1.0.2 improves connection reliability and terminal control.

  This update adds Tailscale support alongside LAN and Cloudflare, shows which connection route is active, improves fallback when a
  route is unavailable, and adds Local Network support for trusted Mac connections.

  It also improves chat terminal controls for slash commands and terminal-style interactions.
