Silent Mode — releases

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-23 · Silent Mode home cards switch from a stacked icon-above-title-above-sub layout to a horizontal one: a left stack holds the icon and the title, the description sits on the right with left-aligned text and up to three lines. Card backgrounds drop to a 55% rgba with a 10 px backdrop blur so the wallpaper reads through. Home tagline updated: Names that live on the Bitcoin Cash chain becomes Names that live on decentralized blockchain. The address-bar tip now points at hello.bch by name.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-23 · Right-click on a tab now shows a Save page as submenu with PDF and Image (PNG) items. PDF uses the browser printing pipeline (A4, prints backgrounds, respects CSS @page); PNG saves the visible viewport. Both open a save dialog with a filename derived from the tab title or hostname and register the file in the downloads popup. The Claude connector design doc is now hosted at theseus.x/dev/claude-connector/DESIGN-claude-connector.md so readers do not have to leave for the forge.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-23 · Home page: hero mark sits in front of the Theseus Navigator wordmark inside a translucent rounded panel, so the identity stays readable on any wallpaper (the tag line and the hint got matching pill backings). Left-column slots widened from a fixed 3-col grid in a 280 px panel to an auto-fill grid in a 360-440 px panel, so about five columns of 72 px tiles fit instead of three.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · bundled Node runtime · 2026-10-01 · Every subsystem is now individually switchable and reports its own state. New endpoint http://127.0.0.1/api/status returns a full state report (daemon version + startup + policy + permitted TLDs + ports + upstream + gateway; index size + warm-start source; per-source enabled/lastAttempt/lastSuccess/lastError/counters for snapshotHttps + electrumWss + perQueryLookup + diskCache + localApi). C:\ProgramData\Ariadne\policy.json extended with a `sources.<name>.enabled` block (hot-reloaded every 5 s alongside the collision policy) -- flip any source off to isolate a path or measure without it. Turning localApi off returns 503 with a hint pointing at the config file. Turning diskCache off skips writing bns-name-snapshot.json AND skips reading it at warm-start. Turning snapshotHttps off skips the HTTPS refresh; electrumWss off skips the WSS refresh; perQueryLookup off skips the per-query /api/name/ fallback. Includes 0.1.12 (orphan-safe upgrade + /api/tlds + /api/name/:n + /api/registry). Upgrades in place.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · self-signed release key · 2026-10-24 · The updater now polls ariadne.x — manifest + APKs live in the s3://bns/ariadne/ bucket the on-chain record points to, routed through the public BNS gateway so a raw HTTPS client reaches them without the Ariadne resolver being up. Download page link also moved from silentmode.st to ariadne.x. Older clients keep polling the silentmode.st mirror; the manifest at both URLs stays in sync until the fleet has rolled over. Same signing key; installs over 0.51.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · self-signed release key · 2026-10-24 · Launcher switches to the pottery variant — same bust silhouette in warm terracotta on navy. New Settings → Downloads row opens the system Downloads app so saved files are easy to find. AI engine picker is now a styled list with each provider's real favicon + host, and the bottom-nav AI button carries the current engine's favicon too. Closing a tab from inside the switcher no longer flashes the homepage even for a frame (persistent navy host swaps the inner view atomically). Settings page sections are more clearly separated. Toggling the Tab switcher layout now shows a toast on save. Same signing key; installs over 0.50.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · self-signed release key · 2026-10-23 · New launcher icon — the laurel-crowned bust silhouette from the Ariadne.X brand kit, recoloured gold on navy. Replaces the figure-only mark; same signing key; installs over 0.49.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-08 · In Theseus, Send on Telegram and Send on WhatsApp open Theseus's own Telegram and WhatsApp apps at their share screens; the share menu shows the real Telegram, WhatsApp and X icons. The sidebar's Full page button is gone (the panel's Maximize does the same).

Linux 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-08 · In Theseus, Send on Telegram and Send on WhatsApp open Theseus's own Telegram and WhatsApp apps at their share screens; the share menu shows the real Telegram, WhatsApp and X icons. The sidebar's Full page button is gone (the panel's Maximize does the same).

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-07 · Share opens a menu: copy the public link, open it, or send it on X, Telegram or WhatsApp. Shared links open on a page with a preview and a Download button. Pithos fills wide windows, a renamed user updates in every open view, and pithos.sia in Theseus asks for the vault PIN after a lock and reopens once it is unlocked.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · signed · 2026-10-24 · In-app auto-update. Hermes now polls dl.silentmode.st/releases-manifest.json on launch and on resume, and shows an update banner at the top of the chat list when a newer version is live. Tap Update → downloads the APK via the pinned client, SHA-256-verifies against the manifest field, then launches Android's package installer. Android refuses to install an APK signed by a different key than the running app, so a tampered manifest can at worst waste bandwidth. Same signing key as 0.2.2; installs over it. Requires the one-time Install-unknown-apps grant on first update, which Android shims via Settings.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · signed · 2026-10-24 · Find People now accepts a phone number alongside BNS names, labels, npubs and hex pubkeys. Type +15551234567 (or 0015551234567) and Hermes hashes it locally and asks the relays for the matching kind:30078 phone-claim event — the raw number never leaves the device. Shows the Hermes identity with a verified ✓ when the owner's phone-claim carries a valid Telegram attestation, same shape as the Address Book contact matches. The input also switches to a numeric phone keyboard the moment it looks like a phone number. Same signing key as 0.2.1; installs over it.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · signed · 2026-10-24 · Fix: real-time inbox delivery. 0.2.0 held a persistent inbox REQ at sign-in, but mobile WebSockets drop constantly (wifi/cellular transitions, OS backgrounding, keep-alive timeouts) and the REQ wasn't replayed on reconnect — the relay forgot our filter and inbound kind:1059 wraps stopped arriving until the next 15-min WorkManager poll or next outgoing send kicked a catch-up. RelayConnection now remembers active subscriptions and replays them on every onOpen, so a recipient sees messages the moment they land on the relay. Also pins the initial `since` to max(lastSeenAt, now - 7d), bounding the reconnect replay. Updates DeliveryPrefs.lastSeenAt on each decrypted wrap so background delivery stays in step.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-23 · First desktop build: the Hermes messenger as a stand-alone Windows app (Tauri), byte-equal with the Theseus panel and the hermes.x web messenger. Sign in with a recovery phrase or create a new identity; same inbox on every surface.
