Sill for Mac 0.5.1 gives away from home a quality of its own: a session through your VPN starts low enough for a slow connection, and your Mac tells your iPhone or iPad when the link can't keep up. With Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5.1, the session also moves to your network by itself when you get home. Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5.1 is made for iPhone Duo.
One version number for both apps. From this release on, Sill for Mac and Sill for iPhone and iPad share one version number: this is 0.5.1 for both (Sill for Mac goes from 0.4.0 to 0.5.1; there is no 0.4.1). Sill for Mac 0.5.1 goes with Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5.1 (4), and each still works with the other's versions back to pairing at home (Sill for Mac 0.4.0, Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5 (2)): the away quality and the link's notice come from Sill for Mac 0.5.1, and the notice also needs the new iPhone and iPad app. Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5.1 is on the App Store, listed as "Sill – Mac Streaming": https://apps.apple.com/app/id6816359860. If you build it from source, build it from this release's tag.
Coming from Sill for Mac 0.3.1 or earlier? After you update, pair each iPhone and iPad with your Mac once, also one you paired for Remote Access before: since 0.4.0 your Mac pairs devices at home and keeps its keys in a safer place, where it starts with a new key.
New in 0.5.1
- Made for iPhone Duo, in Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5.1 (built with the iOS 27.1 SDK): open it flat and your Mac fills the inner display; half open, it's a laptop, the picture above the fold and a trackpad and keys below; closed, Sill runs on the cover display. Nothing you touch sits on the fold.
- Away from home, a session starts at Low · Standard until you pick another quality for away, and your home quality stays as it was (Settings › Streaming has both). Your Mac tells your iPhone or iPad when the link can't keep up, and suggests a quality it can carry. When you get home, the session moves to your network by itself.
- Fixed in Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5.1: after Sill for Mac 0.4.0 gave your Mac a new key, a device you paired again could show your Mac twice away from home, its name and its name with "(2)", and only the second worked. Tap the one without "(2)" with Tailscale on: it connects, the "(2)" row goes, and the one left has your Mac's plain name.
Requirements. A Mac with Apple silicon on macOS 14 or later, and an iPhone or iPad on iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later with Sill for iPhone and iPad 0.5 (2) or later (0.5.1 for the link's notice, the move home and the fix above).
Good to know. Remote Access, over Tailscale or another VPN you run, is still off by default. Once it is on, a device you paired at home learns how to reach your Mac from other networks the next time it connects at home. Once a day Sill asks GitHub whether a newer version exists and never downloads anything by itself.
