Changelog
Every release, documented. We ship fast and break nothing. Guides for every feature below live in the documentation. Curious what is coming next? See the roadmap.
New
Security Audit Reports - Run 25 predefined security checks on any connected server over SSH. You get a hardening score, a downloadable PDF report, and a fix command for every finding that waits for your approval before it runs.Watch video
New
PM2 Process Manager - A dedicated PM2 tab listing every process with live CPU, memory, and restart counts. Restart, reload, stop, or delete any of them in one click, expand a cluster to see its instances, and stream the logs of a single process live.Watch video
New
Migrate from Termius - Bring your saved Termius hosts into CtrlOps in about 30 seconds. The importer reads your hosts, ports, usernames, and SSH keys locally, so you never re-enter a connection by hand.Watch video
New
Filter Servers by Tag - The home screen now has a tag filter. Narrow the list to Production, Staging, Development, or Untagged, tick several tags at once, search within the filter, and reset back to everything in one click.
New
Kill a Process from Infra Details - Top Processes now has a kill button on every row. End a runaway process straight from the dashboard instead of reading its PID off the table and typing kill in a terminal.
New
Copyable Connection Errors - When a connection fails, the modal now shows which stage failed, how long it took, and a timeline of what happened. One Copy report button puts the whole thing on your clipboard, ready to paste into a support ticket.
Fix
Faster File Transfers - Reworked the transfer pipeline in the File Manager, so uploads and downloads move faster on large files and slow links.
Fix
Lighter Connecting Animation - The connect state on a server card is much more transparent now, so the server name, address, and status stay readable while it is dialling.
New
Multi-Tab Workspace - Open several servers at once, each in its own isolated tab. Switch between them like browser tabs - a long build on one server never blocks what you are doing on another.
New
Deployments Tab - A dedicated sidebar tab for shipping Node, React, and Next.js apps straight from a GitHub repo. Vercel-style deploys, with no command line anywhere in the flow.
New
Direct GitHub Connect - Connect your GitHub account once and pick a repo from the list. No more pasting a repository URL and an access token by hand.
New
Logs Tab - Read your server logs from a dedicated tab. Tail, search, and open any log file without typing a single SSH command.
New
Built-in AI Providers - Connect ChatGPT or OpenRouter directly inside the AI Terminal. Sign in once and start working - no API keys to generate, no manual setup.
New
Terminal Auto-Suggestions - Start typing and CtrlOps suggests the rest of the command. You no longer have to remember the full syntax for the commands you only run once a month.
New
Vault Lock - Set a passphrase that locks the entire app. CtrlOps asks for it every time you open it, so your servers and keys stay sealed on a shared or stolen machine.
v1.0.11
StableJune 25, 2026Fix
Infinite AI Loops - Stripped hidden terminal wrappers (like 2>&1) from the AI loop-detection engine, ensuring the model instantly breaks out of stuck cycles instead of hallucinating.
New
OpenRouter Stability - Query massive free-tier models (like Nemotron-3) reliably! We added critical identity headers (HTTP-Referer, X-Title) and explicit network drop handling to satisfy strict API rate-limiters.
Fix
Command Extraction - Completely rewrote the AI Markdown and XML parser to flawlessly handle stray brackets, unclosed tags, and conversational noise.
Fix
Chat UI Polish - Modals can no longer be accidentally dismissed by clicking outside. Auto-capitalization is disabled in model search, and long chat inputs elegantly scroll after 3 lines instead of taking over your screen.
v1.0.10
StableJune 22, 2026New
Global Access Management - View and manage SSH access across your entire workspace from one central dashboard. Run bulk access scans, spot risks, and grant or revoke keys instantly.
New
Custom User Roles - Go beyond root access. Create custom Read/Write or Read-Only system users directly from the UI and assign SSH keys to specific roles.
New
Edit Key Access - Reassigning SSH keys is now effortless. See who has a specific key and add or remove users with simple checkboxes, synced automatically.
New
Home Screen Redesign - We've refreshed the dashboard! A cleaner left-panel navigation makes jumping between Servers, Access, AI Keys, and Scripts faster than ever.
New
Server Favorites & Quick Connect - Pin frequently used servers to a Favorites tab. You can also paste an entire SSH command (e.g., `ssh -i key user@ip`) to auto-fill connection details.
New
Apache Web Server Support - CtrlOps now natively supports Apache alongside Nginx, complete with smart domain handling and Certbot integration.
New
AES-256 Encrypted Configurations - Your security is paramount. All external tool connections are strictly secured with military-grade AES-256 encryption using your OS keychain.
Fix
AI Command Parsing - Fixed an edge case where empty XML tags could confuse the AI, ensuring perfect command extraction from all models.
Fix
File Manager Stability - We've reinforced the file transfer engine. Navigating away during a file transfer now cleanly aborts the background process.
Fix
UI & UX Polish - Lots of quality-of-life improvements! Eliminated infinite loading spinners, stabilized popups, and unified search bars for a smoother experience.
v1.0.9
StableJune 1, 2026New

New
Monaco Editor for MCP - Full JSON editing with syntax highlighting, real-time error markers, fold/unfold, and a synchronized visual tree view for server configurations.

Fix
Dependency Vulnerabilities - Security-focused upgrade of npm and Cargo dependencies to close known CVEs.
