What changed, release by release. Every Localdock 2 update is included with the licence.

2.0.0 — Tap to Fix

  • new Tap to Fix. Switch it on for a project and every page gets a small bug button — on your phone over Wi-Fi, or in any browser on your Mac, where ⌥⇧L works too. Tap what's broken, add a few words, and the report lands on your Mac with a screenshot, the requests that failed and the console errors around them. Nothing to install on the phone, and nothing to add to your code.
  • new Hand over: one click gives a report to Claude Code or Codex, in your terminal, in that project's folder. When the request that failed comes back 200 from the same project, the report marks itself fixed.
  • new A live console: while a project is open on a phone or in a browser, what it logs and the requests it makes stream to your Mac, and any error is one click from becoming a report.
  • new A new Localdock window: every project as a picture of its page, a page per project with who can open it, Reports, and the Console — light and dark, following your Mac.
  • improved The menu bar: every project has a button to open it and a QR code for your phone; a project only on this Mac offers to share it on your Wi-Fi in one click.
  • improved Renaming a project now happens on its page — the ⋯ menu, or double-click its name.

1.2.0 — Intel Macs can run Localdock

  • fixed The app now opens on Intel Macs. Every earlier build ran only on Apple silicon, so an Intel Mac — sold until 2020 and still supported by current macOS — refused it with “not supported on this Mac”. One download now works on both.
  • fixed Turning on Internet sharing no longer gets stuck at “opening a public address…”. While the tunnel connects, the row shows what is actually happening; a connection that can't be made gives up with the real error after 25 seconds, and clicking Internet again retries.
  • new The first time you share to the internet, the row walks through the setup — reserving your permanent address, starting the bundled tunnel, connecting — step by step. After that first time, sharing is instant and quiet.
  • improved When a VPN blocks the tunnel (Cloudflare WARP does), the row says so and tells you the fix: pause it and pick Internet again.
  • fixed The service list no longer blinks empty when a background scan hiccups, and hiding a row no longer quietly closes its public address.
  • improved The panel has a fixed, roomy height: the list always has space, scrolls when it is longer, and can never open squashed or half-drawn.

On sale

  • new Localdock went on sale: a one-time purchase, with the licence key shown on the download page right after checkout and emailed to the address you paid with.

1.1.7 — The day-one fixes

  • fixed Crash when switching on a public share for the first time — which, because the setting persisted, also killed the app on every launch after it. Rolled up from 1.1.1–1.1.7.
  • fixed Activating a licence mid-session now unlocks sharing immediately, without a relaunch.
  • improved An unactivated Mac opens straight to licence activation. The trial is gone — the app can't be downloaded without buying it, so a countdown only ever greeted a paying customer.
  • fixed Settings opens reliably from the panel.
  • fixed The Wi-Fi share QR code scans on a real iPhone — every variant is now decode-verified when the app is built.

1.1.0 — One name, three reaches

  • new The Reach control: This Mac, Wi-Fi, or Internet per project — one control with three cumulative rungs, replacing two separate share toggles.
  • new Public share links: a real HTTPS link anyone can open, with a secret key in the link. It expires after an hour and dies the moment you switch it off; traffic runs between your Mac and Cloudflare and never through our servers.
  • new Wi-Fi sharing: the project you named dashboard answers at dashboard.local for any device on your network — per-project, off by default, with a QR code in the row for the phone moment.
  • new Clean local URLs: dashboard.localhost with no port, served on port 80 without admin rights (7777 stays as the fallback when something else owns 80).
  • improved Everything sharing needs ships inside the app — cloudflared is bundled and signed with it, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.

1.0.6 — A real installer

  • new A notarized DMG with a proper drag-to-Applications window and the app icon — across 1.0.1–1.0.6.
  • new Your licence key appears on the download page right after purchase, and can be re-sent to your inbox any time from the Restore key page.
  • improved The key-recovery email is branded, readable, and labels each key by status.
  • fixed Download links no longer 404 — downloads resolve to the newest release automatically.
