TailBeat
Changelog

Every release, in the open

Pulled live from the same signed release feed the app auto-updates from - this page tracks the newest version with no redeploy.

v1.2.0Latest
Jul 26, 2026
  • featStream another Mac's logs over the network: copy the bundled tailbeat-relay helper to the remote Mac, run `tailbeat-relay install`, then Connect to Another Mac… - the same live table, search, and no-drop capture as local logs, protected by a token
  • fixLong log lines no longer draw over the Source column while a search is active
  • featThe remote app picker is now the real thing: the remote Mac's running apps with their icons, selected by bundle id just like local - and your locally watched app no longer silently filters remote logs (picks are kept per session, in both directions)
  • fixRemote Mac polish: the app picker now lists the remote Mac's apps (not this Mac's), first-connect errors explain the macOS local-network prompt, and the home-screen card got its missing icon
  • featAI agents can watch a remote Mac too - the new connect_remote_mac MCP tool streams and searches the remote Mac's unified log
  • featThe remote-Mac relay keeps itself up to date - an outdated tailbeat-relay is auto-updated the moment TailBeat or an AI agent connects (token-protected, signature-verified)
  • featSelect log rows and press ⌘C to copy them as NDJSON (one JSON object per line)
v1.1.0
Jul 16, 2026
  • featTailBeat's MCP tools for AI agents can now open a saved Apple log archive (.logarchive) - from a sysdiagnose or `log collect` - and search it, so an agent can investigate a capture without reading the whole file into its context
