    The server list now has a selection mode. Start it from the (...) button to pick multiple servers, then move the whole selection to a group, delete it, export it, or open a new terminal that runs a shared command across every selected server. You can now generate and import SSH keys directly from the pop-up menu used to pick an SSH key for a server. Keyboard Shortcut Change The Type Sentence shortcut is now Command-Shift-E (previously Command-E).

  • v2026.2519d ago

    Fixed a bug from a recent update where an already-authenticated connection would wait for re-authentication, causing delays with tmux or would refuse to attempt authentication for some server configurations. The keyboard bar now has a three-way visibility setting: Never, Automatically, or Always, remembered separately for the on-screen and external keyboards. The Always setting keeps the bar on screen for the whole session, even when the terminal is not focused. Export servers as a CSV file from the (...) button above the server list. New 'settitle' shell command sets the terminal, tab, and window title and works in bash, zsh, and fish. An empty argument restores the default title. This requires updating the Shell Integration. Fixed a crash when a port forward was configured with a port number above 65535.

    New 'download' shell command that saves a file from the server to anywhere in Files app. This requires updating the Shell Integration. On iPad, the manual page viewer can be docked to the left or right of the terminal instead of floating, so a man page stays open beside a live session. A button in its navigation bar switches between Floating, Left Side and Right Side, and your choice is remembered. Browser re-authentication works with any server that withholds login behind a browser link, not just Tailscale. When a login banner carries an informational link it is surfaced in the connection status and stays tappable. Images pasted into the terminal upload with a generated name like pasted-from-shellfish-20260701-143012.png Fix for pinyin and other multistage input methods where picking a candidate could delete the typed letters instead of sending the composed text.

  • v2026.2226d ago

    Support for Tailscale SSH check mode. When a host enforces periodic re-authentication, ShellFish opens the Tailscale login in a browser and connects once you authenticate. The Hostkey fingerprints list gains a per-row Copy action. Improvements to LLM agent hooks to correctly show notifications. This requires reinstalling Shell Integration. The Manage screen's Discard changes and Remove cache actions now sit in a (...) button instead of being hidden behind a long-press menu.
