A record of what’s new, what’s fixed, and how WinDock is growing.
WINDOCK 0.3.2
0.3.2Glass with depth. Music at a glance.
Full glass drawers, sheets and menus with a lit rim and reflection. Supported Android and Chromium browsers add refraction; Performance mode keeps solid surfaces.
Eight backgrounds: Aurora, Midnight, Dusk, Ember, Lagoon, Silk, Obsidian and Prism. Choose from previews in Appearance and fade smoothly between scenes.
The notch expands with your current song, artist and Windows cover art. Tap for playback controls; paused tracks remain visible.
Live volume and brightness sliders with fixes for delayed readings and queued Windows brightness adjustments.
Android Back closes an open glass menu before its parent sheet. The updated APK remembers all eight backgrounds.
The website demo offers three fictional silent tracks, cover art, previous/next and play/pause, plus a Music shortcut.
Update both the host and Android APK without clearing your data. Android code 12 keeps the existing GitHub signing certificate. Artwork depends on the Windows player providing it; Linux retains the music icon. Windows remains unsigned, Android retains its existing debug signing configuration, and Linux supports x86-64 Hyprland.
A gesture-aware dot field reacts to taps, scrolling, pinch zoom and drag, with simpler feedback for Performance mode and reduced motion.
Thumb-friendly Left and Right click zones, quieter tools and controls that fade during touch.
Optional PC keys: Esc, Tab and Delete on the left; Home, End and arrows on the right. Show or hide them with the PC keys toggle.
Android no longer requests automatic sentence capitalization from its temporary draft. Navigation commits composing text before sending the key.
Switch PC and Connection sit together at the bottom of the drawer.
Update actions open the WinDock website download section; packages still come from official GitHub release assets.
Update both the PC companion and Android APK without clearing data. Android code 11 retains the existing GitHub signing certificate. The originally reported tablet capitalization behavior still needs device confirmation. Windows remains unsigned; Android retains its debug signing configuration; Linux supports x86-64 Hyprland.
Secure QR pairing with remembered computers and Wi-Fi/USB reconnection.
Files & Media through Android pickers and Share to WinDock; receive on Windows or Linux.
Windows folder shortcuts, website tiles, a compact controls panel and HDR guidance.
Connection help with scoped firewall instructions and actual listening ports.
Android 7 startup and Windows port-selection fixes.
Update both apps without uninstalling or clearing data. Android 0.3.0 uses code 10 and the existing GitHub certificate; App updates opens GitHub. Windows packages remain unsigned and Android keeps its debug signing/build configuration. Linux supports x86-64 Hyprland. Galaxy S4 Auto detection (#9) and the Omen brightness/error discrepancy (#52) remain known limitations.
0.2.6Settings that stay. Connections that recover.
+
Settings that stay. Connections that recover.
Saved appearance: Android keeps Performance mode, layout, labels and theme across restarts and changes to the PC address or port. Each PC retains its own settings.
Better Auto detection: Performance mode enables on devices Android identifies as low-RAM, or with at most 2 GiB of usable RAM. Manual On and Off remain in control.
Windows startup: when the default port is reserved or occupied, WinDock finds an available port. A saved server-port setting is available in the tray; explicitly configured ports still report errors.
Update both the PC host and Android companion. Install the APK over the existing app to preserve settings; this release keeps the previous public signing certificate.
0.2.5-preview.3Choose your PC. Pick up where you left off.
+
PC switching, clipboard access, visible update checks, and a Linux host that stays out of your way.
Switch PC: find running Windows and Linux hosts on your local network, choose one inside the Android app, and remember your PCs. Forget stays forgotten after restarting; you can still find and select that PC again.
PC clipboard: expand the touchpad panel, choose recent text, edit it, and tap Paste to PC. Browsing alone sends nothing. Windows uses Windows + V history; Linux reads a running clipboard manager, including Omarchy’s own. With no manager, Linux offers the current clipboard.
Visible update checks: open Updates from the dock drawer or Appearance, the Android connection screen, or the Windows connection window. Downloads and installation stay manual.
Linux in the background: close the connection window and keep using the dock. Reopen it for the PIN; press S or use windock stop to stop the host. Apps opened from the phone stay open.
Tailscale addresses: connect Android using your PC’s numeric Tailscale address when both devices are on your tailnet. Automatic discovery remains local-network only.
Update both the host and Android companion for the complete bundle. Clipboard sharing is text only; images and files are not included. Linux remains a Hyprland preview.
