Release notes and distribution updates for OpenRemote.

Remote Tunnels are now available in OpenRemote

This is so cool: for the first time, OpenCode users can step away from their desktop without worrying what their agents are doing while they are not watching.

Remote Tunnels let you securely connect to your desktop OpenCode session from the OpenRemote app on iOS or Android, even when your phone is not on the same local network.

The first provider is Cloudflare, which means private beta testers can use remote access for free while OpenRemote continues to evolve.

Thank you to the 14 testers helping shape OpenRemote through the private beta, and thank you to Riley Maersch for the project's first community contribution.

Want access? DM Blair Hudson or comment "this is so cool" on the LinkedIn post, and I will reach out for your App Store or Google Play invite email.

Learn more in the Remote Tunnels guide.
