Release v0.60.0
Apr 05, 2026
VNC remote desktop fallback for older macOS, network proxy tunneling, GPU-accelerated streaming, session switcher, agent watchdog, and macOS security benchmarks.
Remote Management
- VNC Fallback: Automatic detection of older macOS devices that don't support WebRTC at the login screen. The system enables the built-in Screen Sharing service with a one-time password, tunnels VNC over the agent connection, and cleans up when you disconnect.
- Network Proxy: Access any TCP service on an agent's local network — web interfaces on routers, management ports on switches, file shares on NAS devices. Traffic tunnels through the existing agent connection with SSRF-safe allowlists and idle timeouts.
- Session Switcher: A dropdown in the remote desktop toolbar shows all active sessions on a device. Click to switch — no need to disconnect and start a new session. Works with the session targeting system for multi-user servers.
- Login Screen Input: macOS remote desktop now accepts keyboard and mouse input at the login screen, so you can type passwords and interact with the login UI remotely.
- OS Keyboard Shortcuts: The viewer's shortcut menu adapts to the target OS — showing Ctrl+Alt+Del for Windows, Cmd+Option+Esc for macOS, and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace for Linux.
Platform & Infrastructure
- Agent Watchdog: An independent service that runs alongside the main agent. If the agent crashes, hangs, or fails health checks, the watchdog restarts it and temporarily takes over API communication so the device stays visible in your dashboard.
- Direct GPU Encoding: Remote desktop video encoding talks directly to NVIDIA (NVENC) and AMD (AMF) GPU hardware instead of going through an intermediate layer. This eliminates stall issues on certain GPU drivers and improves streaming stability.
- Encoder Stall Recovery: If the hardware encoder stops producing frames, the agent detects it within 600ms and seamlessly switches to the software encoder — down from 11 seconds in previous versions.
Security & Compliance
- macOS CIS Benchmarks: 15 new security compliance checks based on the CIS macOS benchmark, covering Screen Sharing, Remote Login, file sharing, AirDrop, firewall, and other sharing and security settings.
- Network Proxy Security: Proxy tunnels use default-deny allowlists with SSRF protection, source IP restrictions, per-user ownership, and automatic idle timeouts.
v0.60.0 brings remote access to devices that were previously hard to reach. Older macOS machines (Monterey and Ventura) that don’t support WebRTC at the login screen now get automatic VNC fallback — Breeze detects the situation, enables Screen Sharing with a one-time password, and tunnels VNC through the existing agent connection. When you disconnect, everything is cleaned up automatically.
The new network proxy feature lets you access any TCP service on an agent’s local network — router web interfaces, NAS file shares, printer management ports — all tunneled through the agent without setting up a VPN. Connections are protected by default-deny allowlists with SSRF guards.
Under the hood, the agent gets a watchdog service for automatic crash recovery, direct GPU encoding for smoother remote desktop video, and dramatically faster encoder failover (600ms vs 11 seconds). macOS IT teams also get 15 new CIS security benchmark checks for auditing sharing and security settings.
