1.0.25 Latest

Released 2026-11-07

• A new first-run screen on the PC: one big QR code to scan with your phone's camera, the PIN, and the address to type if you can't scan. It switches to "Paired!" by itself as soon as your phone connects.
• Skip it and a small "Pair your phone" banner stays on the PC page until a phone is paired.
• The optional anonymous counts (off by default) can now also count "pairing screen shown" and "pairing skipped", once each. Nothing else is sent.

1.0.24

Released 2026-11-06 (Windows and Mac)

• Try Pro free for 7 days right from the screen that appears when you reach a free limit: every Pro feature unlocks at once (once per PC, no card).
• A small "Enjoying SofaDeck?" card on the PC after you've used the phone remote for a while: Rate, Later or Never.

1.0.23

Released 2026-11-06 (Windows and Mac)

• Talk naturally: extra words like "um, can you… please" are fine, the words can come in any order, and two commands can be joined with "and".
• When SofaDeck isn't sure what you meant it asks "Did you mean …?" and waits for yes.

1.0.19 – 1.0.22

Released 2026-11-05 and 2026-11-06 (Windows and Mac)

• Talk to your PC (Windows): turn on Voice in SofaDeck, then say "Hey SofaDeck" (or press Ctrl+Alt+V) and a command. Say "what can I say" to see every command.
• Anything that prints or shuts down is read back first and runs only after you say yes.
• Print Station: labels no longer print sideways when the printer driver's paper size is set up the wrong way round.

1.0.17

Released 2026-10-30 (Windows and Mac)

• When you reach a free limit, SofaDeck shows one friendly sheet: what you tried, what Pro unlocks for it, the price, Buy and the 7-day trial.
• The 7-day Pro trial is sealed so it can't be extended or restarted, and when it ends nothing you made is deleted.
• Security: SofaDeck trusts a new release-signing key for updates.

1.0.7

Released 2026-10-20 (Windows)

• Sleep timer: sleep, shut down or turn the screen off in 15 minutes to 12 hours, from the phone or by voice ("sleep in 45 minutes").
• Screen off, stay ready: the screen goes dark but the PC stays reachable; opening SofaDeck on the phone turns it back on.
• Wake your PC from your phone (Pro): one-click Wake-on-LAN setup and wake buttons for your other PCs.
• Now playing and Presenter: see what's playing on the PC, and a big Next / Back clicker with a talk timer for slides.
• Try every Pro feature free for 7 days.

1.0.6

Released 2026-10-20 (Windows)

• Send to PC: photos and files from your phone to the PC, text onto the PC clipboard, links into its browser, and the PC clipboard back to the phone.
• Live PC stats: CPU, memory, disk, battery and NVIDIA GPU temperature on your phone.
• Smart pages (Pro): the phone switches to the right page when OBS, Chrome or a game comes to the front.

1.0.5

Released 2026-10-20 (Windows)

• Print Station (Pro, Windows): print PDFs, photos and 4x6 shipping labels from your phone on the PC's printer, silently and at actual size, with no print dialog.
• Works with Rollo and other thermal label printers; a test print checks the scale.

1.0.4

Released 2026-10-16 (Windows)

• Trackpad and keyboard on your phone (Windows): drag to move, tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger drag to scroll, and type on the PC from your phone's keyboard.
• Page templates: Media remote, Movie night, Presentation, PC power, Meetings and Streaming scenes, ready in one tap from edit mode.

1.0.3 (Microsoft Store) and 1.0.2

Released 2026-10-04 and 2026-10-01

• 1.0.3, Microsoft Store only: buy SofaDeck Pro as a Microsoft Store add-on, with Restore purchase; a "Try SofaDeck on this PC" button runs every deck button without a phone.
• 1.0.2, Windows and Mac: SofaDeck Pro licence keys activate in the app (unlimited pages, macros and more).

1.0.1

Released 2026-09-29

• SofaDeck for Mac: a notarized, Developer ID-signed universal DMG for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, with a menu-bar item, Open at login, Mac apps and OpenEmu library import, and a guided Accessibility permission check for key and media control.
• Windows 1.0.1: the same features as 1.0.0, now built from one shared Windows + Mac codebase. Installed copies update themselves automatically.
• Pair any phone or tablet by scanning a QR code and typing the 6-digit PIN shown on the computer. No phone app, no account; each phone gets its own key you can remove at any time.
• Security: listens only on your home-network addresses, refuses requests from outside the local network, uses https with a local certificate limited to private addresses, and rate-limits every request. No tracking unless you opt in.
