Herdr Push Notifications
Added push notifications for Herdr sessions, including work started on your computer. Choose notifications for work opened in NovaScale or for selected hosts.
Remote Git
Added Git repository browsing over SSH. Review branches, commits and diffs, stage or unstage files, and create commits on your remote host.
CONNECTION JOURNAL
Optionally record SSH Terminal, SFTP and Herdr connection starts with approximate locations. Location updates can continue in the background while enabled. History stays on this device, outside iCloud sync. Turn recording off, set auto-off or delete history at any time.
LOCAL PROXY
Let compatible apps on this device reach active-tailnet peers through a passwordless loopback SOCKS5 / HTTP CONNECT proxy. Enable it only when needed. Location permission is not required; background availability depends on iOS.
Fish Shell Compatibility
Improved support for hosts that use fish as their login shell. Monitoring, tmux, Remote Git and Herdr now handle app-generated SSH commands correctly on these hosts. Interactive terminals continue to use your chosen shell.
Remote Codex
Improved Codex host setup and image previews. Images take up less space in conversations and open in a full-screen preview. Updated compatibility with Codex CLI 0.164.0.
Tailscale
Updated to the latest Tailscale 1.98.x patch for more reliable connection recovery.

From recent reviews.
About NovaScale, SSH/Herdr+Tailscale
NovaScale is a remote-work and server-operations workspace built for Tailscale. Use SSH, monitoring, private web tools, SFTP, Herdr, Remote Git, and Remote Codex from one app—without switching VPN apps.
Built-in Tailscale connects your tailnet inside NovaScale. Traditional SSH hosts and Headscale are also supported.
HOSTS
- Auto-discover tailnet hosts; organize with aliases, icons, groups and pins.
SSH TERMINAL
- Maintained native Swift terminal with customizable themes, external keyboards, combo keys, Simple Commands, OSC52 and Neovim support.
- Pin terminal/tmux sessions; use copy mode with Page Up/Down and choose prefixes such as Ctrl-A. Touch-scroll, click, select and open menus in mouse-aware apps.
- Command/argument suggestions with optional Bash/Zsh integration. Built-in Tailscale handles network changes; recovery depends on network, host and iOS conditions.
REMOTE CODEX
- Install and configure Codex on your host. Threads are managed there; NovaScale is a remote client and may cache content locally for display.
- Connect to your Mac/Linux Codex CLI/app-server via Tailscale. Resume, fork, pin and rename threads; search across projects and sync pins with compatible desktop hosts.
- Send prompts/files, review Markdown, LaTeX and changes, handle approvals, and follow goals, subagents and activity. Adjust text size/spacing; open images full screen.
- Share files directly over authenticated app-server WebSocket; Pro adds linked-host SFTP transfers with byte progress. Diagnose host setup and compatibility in-app.
- Free includes one Codex host, in-app banners and best-effort local notifications.
REMOTE HERDR
- Connect compatible Herdr on Mac/Linux via Tailscale or traditional SSH. Native protocol and controls for workspaces, tabs, agents and status, with a full terminal experience.
- Pin and detach without stopping remote agents; paste images. Free: three daily visits and one pin. Pro: unlimited visits/pins and file/photo uploads.
ON-DEVICE DICTATION
- Dictate in Terminal, Codex and Herdr on supported iOS 26 devices/languages. Works offline after language assets are installed; raw audio is not saved or uploaded.
CODEX & HERDR PUSH
- Optional alerts when remote work needs you, even with NovaScale closed. Choose work opened in NovaScale or selected hosts. Requires host-side setup; plan limits apply. Disable at any time.
REMOTE GIT
- Browse repositories, branches, commits and diffs over SSH. Stage, unstage and commit on the remote host.
MONITORING & CONTAINERS
- CPU, memory, network, disk and I/O trends; inspect and end processes. Monitor, start, stop and restart Docker and supported macOS Apple containers. Pro adds container deployment.
WEB & SFTP
- Open services via URL, MagicDNS or Tailscale IP. Optional remote SOCKS5/HTTP CONNECT browser proxy and self-signed certificates; background audio from services such as Jellyfin.
- Pro: browse, transfer, preview and edit SFTP files. Share files from iOS to SFTP, Terminal and Co
