Tipatask 0.9.21 - Remote Control

Tipatask 0.9.21 Lets Agents See the Screen and Adds Remote Control from the Web

The release extends control beyond the desktop. A new remote control switch in General settings lets a signed-in account work with the project from the web app. From there you can start tasks and objectives, approve plans, respond to tool requests and take over the project's terminals. The option is enabled per device, and signing out or changing accounts ends remote access right away. Anyone who previously enabled this by editing a project's configuration will need to turn it on again in Settings.

Tipatask 0.9.21 now gives AI agents a new way to confirm their own work. On macOS, task runs powered by Claude, Codex and Pi can now capture screenshots and click or type inside applications. This lets them check that interface changes actually behave as intended. In Plan mode, agents can only observe. The app requests the Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions this requires at startup, and it mentions only the ones that are still disabled.

Larger pieces of work are also easier to manage. Parent objectives now launch like ordinary tasks. The agent researches the goal, saves subtasks when needed and then works through them in sequence. Cowboy-Coding mode gains a choice between two scopes, related tasks only or the whole project. Each follow-up starts in a fresh session, and you can set the scope for many tasks at once.

Day-to-day use benefits as well. Board cards now include a chat icon for discussing any task, and the interface is available in Simplified Chinese and Spanish. Fixes address locked board scrolling, tasks left claimed by a device after a crash, and Codex runs that tried to use a retired model.
