Pi-Bolt 1.1.4

on GitHub

Pi-Bolt 1.1.4 is 1.1.3 with an opt-in background service for remote control, so a paired phone reaches
this computer with no terminal open. Pi is still 1.5.0, and the engine and runtimes are 1.1.1's.

Added

• pi-bolt service (#262): pi-bolt service install starts
  remote control at login and keeps it up:

  • macOS: a LaunchAgent;
  • Linux: a systemd --user unit;
  • Windows: a per-user logon task, with no admin needed.

  The other subcommands:

  • status shows the addresses, the tunnel and the connected phones;
  • pair pairs a new phone from a terminal while the service runs;
  • logs prints the service log;
  • uninstall removes everything it wrote.

  Behaviour:

  • Paired phones can list this computer's projects and sessions, open one, or start a new session in a folder
    Pi-Bolt already knows.
  • The Cloudflare tunnel follows remoteControl.tunnel (install --no-tunnel keeps it to the LAN and Tailscale).
  • The service sends paired phones its current addresses over the encrypted session, so a phone follows a quick
    tunnel's new address. No outside lookup service is involved.
  • When /remote-control starts in a terminal, the service hands over its port and tunnel and takes them back
    afterwards.
  • Only phones that are already paired can connect.
  • Interactive startup is unchanged: the service code loads only when it runs.

Also since 1.1.3, outside the release archives:

• Android app 0.5.x, released under android-v tags:
  • Mermaid diagrams;
  • Git and GitHub;
  • per-turn review and undo;
  • a terminal, dev-server preview, files in and out, and voice input;
  • several sessions at once;
  • project secrets;
  • a code editor and esbuild for Vite;
  • plain chats;
  • background runs;
  • a full redesign.

Install

curl -fsSL https://pi-bolt.opensec.in/install.sh | sh

irm https://pi-bolt.opensec.in/install.ps1 | iex

powershell -c "irm https://pi-bolt.opensec.in/install.ps1 | iex"

or pi-bolt update, or npm install -g --allow-scripts=pi-bolt pi-bolt, or bun add -g --trust pi-bolt, or:

• Homebrew (macOS on Apple silicon, Linux): brew install opensec-git/tap/pi-bolt
• Scoop (Windows): scoop bucket add opensec-git https://github.com/opensec-git/scoop-bucket, then scoop install opensec-git/pi-bolt
• mise: github:opensec-git/Pi-Bolt with the options in the installation guide

The installer checks the release signature with OpenSSL 3, ssh-keygen (OpenSSH 8.1 or later), or an installed Pi-Bolt.
Every archive also has a GitHub build attestation: gh attestation verify <file> -R opensec-git/Pi-Bolt.

Linux x86-64 or ARM64 with glibc 2.17 or later; Android 7 or later on 64-bit ARM, in Termux; macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon;
Windows 10 1809 or later, or Windows 11, on x64.

Performance

At par with 1.1.3, measured on the release archives on an Apple M5 (macOS, darwin-arm64), 15 interleaved runs per
scenario after 2 warm-ups. A second copy of 1.1.3 shows the run-to-run noise.

The service code loads only when it runs; interactive startup loads the same 1544 modules as 1.1.3.
