  1. v1.2.10

    current version

    • Mac
    • Windows
    • Coding agents without «Reconnect» (Mac): Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and the others now talk to Breakpane through a bridge that always answers. If the app is closed, the bridge opens Breakpane on its own (only with agents turned on). If you had already connected, this version updates the setup for you when it opens.
    • Each conversation gets its own devices (Mac): two conversations with the same agent no longer close or touch each other's devices.
    • Agent devices close on their own 10 minutes after the last action, and reloading always brings the new code, with no cache.

    Coding agents no longer ask to reconnect, open Breakpane when it is closed and keep each conversation's devices apart.

  2. v1.2.8

    • Mac
    • On the Mac, the app is now signed and notarized by Apple: it installs and opens without a trip to System Settings.

  3. v1.2.6

    • Mac
    • Windows
    • New logo and icon: the symbol now stands upright, with the orange line running horizontally, in the app, the tray and the installer.
    • Courtesy licenses: if you received a courtesy key, the app now recognizes the license.
    • A firmer lock screen: once the trial has ended, no page loads behind it, not even through back, forward or the developer tools.

    New logo and icon, courtesy licenses recognized in the app and a firmer lock screen.

  4. v1.2.5

    • Mac
    • Windows
    • Phone keyboard on screen: tap a field and the keyboard slides up as on the device, with the page reacting the way it does in Safari and Chrome. You see right away the button or field hidden behind it, in portrait or landscape. Toggle it with ⇧⌘K (Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows).
    • Collapsing browser bar: as you scroll, the Safari and Chrome bars shrink and the page height changes as on the phone, so 100vh and elements fixed to the bottom show up where they really would. Toggle it with ⇧⌘B (Ctrl+Shift+B on Windows).
    • Foldables and new devices: iPhone Duo, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7, Pixel 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold, iPad Pro 11" and MacBook Pro 16", each with its real shape. On foldables, one button under the device unfolds and folds it, without reloading the page. And on a coding agent's device you took over, you can now type directly, for the login and password the agent shouldn't type.

    The phone keyboard and the collapsing browser bar on screen, plus foldables and new devices.

  5. v1.2.4

    • Mac
    • Windows
    • Tighter security: opening a link in another app always asks first, camera and microphone are granted per site and separately, and coding agents' devices are kept apart from yours, with their own cookies and data.
    • Coding agents on Mac: the devices an agent opens no longer take focus from the window you're working in. As on Windows, they don't take the keyboard; clicking, Take over and Hand back work as before.
    • License: the activation link only fills in the key, and you activate with one click. When your license is activated on a new computer, you get an email about it. A clock running ahead no longer locks the free trial or the license.

    Tighter security, coding agents that don't steal focus on Mac, and a sturdier license.

  6. v1.2.3

    • Mac
    • Windows
    • One-click updates on Mac: when a new version is out, Update now downloads it, checks it and swaps the app for you, then reopens it on the new version. It works from this version on; getting to it is still through the release page.
    • Start your server from the device: if your dev server is stopped, the The server isn't responding screen gets a Start button with the project's name. The device loads the page on its own once the server answers. If Breakpane doesn't know which project uses that port, Choose project opens the list.

    One-click updates on Mac and a button to start your dev server right from the device.

  7. v1.2.2

    • Mac
    • Windows
    • Coding agents (Beta): a local MCP server lets your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf or any other MCP-compatible tool) open your site on several devices side by side, tap, type, scroll, take screenshots and audit the responsive layout. Claude Desktop connects through mcp-remote.
    • In More options › Coding agents, one Connect button per tool, with a key just for it. It starts off, listens on 127.0.0.1 only and asks for your permission on each agent's first action. Pause agents lives in the panel and in the tray; the trash button revokes the key.
    • The audit checks for sideways scrolling, content under the status bar, the notch, the island or the home indicator, small or covered tap targets, clipped text, broken images, console and network errors and the PWA diagnostics, and writes an HTML report with the problems numbered on the screenshots.
    • You watch the agent work: its devices get an orange outline and a label with the last action. Every tap shows a finger and marks the target with its size, scrolling leaves a trail, screenshots flash and the audit sweeps the screen. It acts only on the devices it opened, never on yours.
    • Take over and Give back: tap, click or type on an agent's device, or use Take over on its label, and the agent stops acting there until you give it back. The agent can still see the page.
    • Session diary: every agent session saves numbered screenshots and a Markdown summary to paste into a pull request, without typed text or URL parameters. Open session diary is in More options › Coding agents.
    • On Windows, you can't type into a device an agent opened: it never takes the keyboard, so your editor keeps its focus while the agent works.
    • The anonymous daily usage count now also carries the interface language. You can still turn it off in More options.
    • Move and resize from the frame: drag any part of the frame, or the dot above the device, to put it somewhere else; pull a corner to change its size, with the percentage next to it. Double-click a corner to go back to auto.
    • Coding agents got their own button in the side rail, with a light that shows whether the server is on, an agent is working or something needs attention.
    • More options opens with the free trial and the Subscribe button at the top, with the days left; subscribers see just a quiet line at the bottom of the list.
    • Starter prompts: the Coding agents panel has a Start here section with three prompts to copy and paste into your agent (audit on 3 devices, fix until clean, test the login step by step), already with your site's address. In Claude Code they also show up as commands: /mcp__breakpane__test_site, fix_until_clean and test_flow.

    Coding agents, in Beta.
