VyreReorder tabs from the keyboard on the desktopLatest
Move up and Move down in a tab’s menu, or Alt+↑/↓, like on the web. The PINNED group now always sits at the top of the list, and every control has a name a screen reader can read out.
What’s new
What we’ve shipped lately
New features and fixes across the desktop app, the web, Android and the headless host. The desktop app updates itself; the web app is always the latest.

October 2026
“Device offline” on Android
Tabs on a computer that has gone offline now say “Device offline” in the terminals list, instead of still showing Active.
Menus that match the theme, and reach from the keyboard
The desktop app’s menus, including Cut/Copy/Paste in text boxes, follow the dark and light themes. Arrow keys reach every menu item, and the tray icon opens with Shift+F10, the Menu key or Enter.
Welcome checklist and in-app Help
New accounts get a short checklist to their first tab, and every app has a Help screen that explains peek, take over, pairing and the shortcuts. On Android, Enter to send now works in the compose bar.
Accessibility settings
Settings → Accessibility adds a screen reader mode that reads out new output, high contrast in dark or light, and reduced motion. Each follows your system setting or can be switched on by hand. Settings is tabbed now, and scroll bars follow the theme.
A new tab list with identity tiles
Each tab gets a tile for what it is running: Claude Code, Gemini CLI and other agents, Python, Node, Git, SSH, Docker, editors and the shells. Tabs sit in one list with a PINNED group on top.
Export a session
Save a tab as plain text, as an HTML page with its colours, or as an asciinema .cast recording you can replay.
Phone layout, pop-out windows and tab reordering on the web
On a phone the tab list becomes a drawer and a key row adds Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt and the arrows. On a computer, open any tab in its own window. Drag tabs to reorder them, or use Move up / Move down and Alt+↑/↓.
Servers on Windows, as a service
One PowerShell command (irm … | iex) installs vyre-host as a Windows service on a machine nobody logs in to. Tabs run as your account, never as SYSTEM. A zip is there if you would rather not pipe a script.
Vyre on your Linux servers
The headless host installs with one command on x64 or arm64, checks its download’s SHA-256 and runs under systemd as the user you choose, never root by default. Approve it from your browser with a pairing code and a key fingerprint. It only connects out, so there is no port to open. New Tab lists the shells that machine has.
A steadier start for the desktop app
If Vyre’s servers can’t be reached at startup, the app keeps retrying instead of closing, and its notifications are headed “Vyre” instead of a long Windows ID.
Clearer messages on Android
When the server refuses something, such as creating a tab, Android now says why. A tab that needs you to confirm your sign-in again offers a way to do it instead of a dead end, and a sleeping tab pauses its stream instead of dropping it.

Broadcast input and background alerts on the desktop
Group tabs and type into all of them at once. Switch on “Notify on background activity” and a bell, or a long command finishing, in a tab you are not looking at gets you a notification. Also fixes New Terminal hanging when WSL never answers.
Clickable links and a shortcuts panel
Ctrl/Cmd+click a URL in a terminal to open it (only web links, never scripts). Ctrl+Shift+/ lists every shortcut. On the desktop the zoom keys now work, and a dot shows the connection quality, like on the web.
Several tabs in the Android terminal
Switch between your tabs without leaving the terminal screen. Full-screen programs such as vim and htop now draw correctly, the grid matches the computer’s, and the app checks for its own updates.
Vyre for Android
The Android app is out: see every tab, peek or take over, type with the compose bar and the key row, keep saved commands and unlock with your fingerprint. Get the APK from the Download page.
The desktop app on tricky networks
The app now starts on networks where IPv6 is broken, keeps one copy running instead of two, and keeps trying to reconnect after an outage instead of giving up.
Join late, see what you missed
Open a tab that has been running for a while, or come back after losing your connection, and you get its scrollback straight away.
Command blocks and a command palette
Each command and its output becomes a block, a status line shows the folder and git branch, and you can jump from prompt to prompt. Ctrl/Cmd+K finds any tab, computer or action. Paste a screenshot into a running tab, and the program in it gets the image’s file path.
Broadcast input and background alerts on the web
Type into a group of tabs at once, get a toast and a desktop notification when a bell rings or a long command finishes in a tab you have open, and see the connection quality as a dot on each terminal.
Peek or take over, and a new look
Look at a tab without touching it, or take it over to type and hand it back. Copy and paste were rebuilt, and the web and desktop apps share one design, with a smaller toolbar and a ⋯ menu.
