Release notes · Sep 3, 2026 # Termy 1.6.0: Major Update Connect your first host faster, understand failures more clearly, and run changes with more control. [Download 1.6.0 for macOS](https://dl.termyapp.com/releases/Termy-1.6.0.dmg)[All releases ↗](https://termyapp.com/releases) Current public builds require macOS 26 or later. [See the latest release: 1.7.9.](https://termyapp.com/releases/1.7.9) ## Getting Started - **Your first connection now takes fewer steps.** Onboarding leads directly to adding or importing a host, testing the connection, and opening a shell. - **SSH config import has a clear next step.** After importing, you can review and test the first host or connect to it immediately. - **Host X-ray appears after your first connection.** Termy identifies the system and brings the most useful host details into view as soon as the shell is ready. ## Safer Operations - **See exactly what will run before it runs.** Broadcasts, Playbooks, and command pipelines now show the command, target hosts, environment, risk, rollout settings, and verification plan before execution. - **Roll out changes gradually.** Use a canary host, limit concurrency, pause or stop a run, and inspect the result for each host before continuing. - **Unsupported Playbook steps are blocked up front.** A compatibility summary explains what Termy can run, what needs attention, and what must be changed before execution. ## Diagnostics & Activity - **Connection failures now come with a reason and a next step.** Diagnose can distinguish DNS, port, authentication, key, ProxyJump, and host-key problems and suggest a focused fix. - **Repeated Activity errors are grouped together.** You can see how often a problem occurred, when it last happened, and what to try next without digging through duplicate entries. - **Incident Capsules keep troubleshooting context together.** Save a local, redacted record of affected hosts, evidence, actions, and verification, compare hosts, and turn a verified fix into a reusable runbook. - **A weekly operations digest is available in Activity.** It summarizes recent work on this Mac and can be turned off at any time. ## Pro & Account - **The seven-day Pro trial starts after your first successful connection.** You get time to evaluate Pro after reaching real value, not while you are still setting up the app. - **The paywall now explains the feature you were trying to use.** Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are shown consistently at $6.99, $49.99, and $139.99. - **Activate Termy directly from your web account.** Each active license includes a one-time “Open Termy and activate” link, while copying the license key remains available as a fallback. ## Privacy & Accessibility - **Background host checks and the weekly digest are under your control.** Their status is visible in Settings, and either feature can be disabled. - **Reporting a problem is safer.** Termy removes sensitive details and asks for permission before attaching a diagnostic bundle. - **Keyboard and assistive navigation are more consistent.** Command search, quick switching, status controls, and database suggestions now expose clearer focus and selection states. - **Termy now runs on macOS 14 and newer.** Redis tools require macOS 15 or newer; the rest of the app remains available on macOS 14. ## Tailnet Discovery — Beta - **Import hosts from an installed Tailscale client.** Termy reads the local MagicDNS inventory and imports only the hosts you select, without copying your Tailscale account credentials. ## Connection and compatibility reference Read the [SSH workflow](https://termyapp.com/ssh-client-macos), [SSH Config guide](https://termyapp.com/guides/ssh-config-proxyjump) and [compatibility documentation](https://termyapp.com/compatibility) for the current application behavior. --- Official source: [Termy 1.6.0 — Major Update | Release Notes](https://termyapp.com/releases/1.6.0)
