Windows users

When opening the installer for the first time, Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" — this is Microsoft SmartScreen's normal notice for newly published software. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed.

VMOS Cast v1.0.5 Release Notes:

🎉 New Features

1. Interface languages expanded from 2 to 21, with Arabic and Urdu using a right-to-left layout
2. New "Wireless debugging" connection: phones on Android 11 and above connect without a cable. Click a device marked "pairing required" in the scan list to open the pairing wizard, pair once by following the prompts, and the device connects on its own from then on — including after a reboot
3. The same device can now be operated from several computers at once, instead of one holding control while the others could only watch
4. Much higher frame rate in the device list, so previews stay closer to real time even with many devices at once; the phone is no longer kept busy while the window sits in the background
5. "Restart" and "Shut down" added to the device card right-click menu, executed after a confirmation prompt and disabled for offline devices; before shutting down you are told that the device cannot be powered on remotely and has to be started by hand
6. New "Status" filter on the device list: filter by online, connecting, screen off, cannot cast, connection failed and offline, each showing a live device count
7. Some devices can keep casting on protected pages: when the phone sits on a password, payment or copyright-protected video page, you can still see the picture and tap it, and even type the lock screen PIN on the big screen; the live picture returns once the phone leaves that page (whether the picture appears depends on the device's system)
8. New quality settings for big screen windows: choose the frame rate and picture quality yourself
9. New "Screen off / Wake" button in the big screen sidebar, switching automatically with the phone's current state
10. The initial big screen size now follows the picture's aspect ratio, so ultra-wide displays are no longer shown as a narrow strip
11. A USB-connected device can be added as a LAN connection in one click and keeps working after you unplug the cable
12. Device details now distinguish how a device is connected: USB, LAN or wireless debugging
13. Removing devices now asks for confirmation and explains that saved addresses go with them, so they will not reconnect on the next start
14. Update prompts gain "View full release notes" and "Skip this version"
15. Exported logs now include information collected from the device, so you no longer need to send it separately when reporting an issue
16. Compatible with more older devices: Android 8 and above

🎊 Fixes & Improvements

1. Fixed the picture freezing completely while the phone itself and the controls stayed fine (more common on large-screen devices such as ultra-wide and foldable displays)
2. Fixed the big screen window showing no picture when the same device was already connected from another computer
3. Pictures appear in the device list noticeably faster after the app starts
4. Closing one big screen window and immediately opening another no longer makes you wait
5. Raising the device list frame rate now actually makes the picture keep up
6. When a phone reaches the lock screen PIN page, the card no longer shows "connection failed" first and corrects itself to the security notice a moment later
7. Fixed "Push files" reporting success while nothing arrived on the device, and selected devices being skipped so that nothing appeared to happen; the destination folder is now shown, and failures are reported per device with a reason
8. Fixed large numbers of cards getting stuck on "an older client is still in use" and not recovering even after clicking "Check again"
9. Fixed Android 8 devices becoming unreachable after a period of use
10. Fixed Android 8 devices wrongly reporting "cannot cast" when opening a big screen window
11. "Device offline" and "Connection failed" now use the same wording on the device list and in the big screen window
12. The protected-page notice now explains what triggers it instead of naming only passwords and payments — copyright-protected video pages trigger it too
13. Clearer messages when updating the service on a device: it says so when the device is already up to date, and tells you to close the big screen window or other computer using it first
14. Fixed the app not actually quitting when the main window was closed while "Minimize to tray on close" was unchecked
15. Fixed the oversized tray icon and switched it to a monochrome style consistent with the macOS menu bar
16. Fixed big screen settings only taking effect the second time you opened a big screen window
17. Fixed labels and controls not lining up on some settings rows, and description text using the wrong colour
18. The language menu now fits on one screen, so you no longer have to scroll to find yours
19. Fixed Chinese text rendering too thin with unclear weight contrast on Windows
20. Improved update prompts and download progress
21. Fixed USB devices failing to connect on some computers
22. The picture now fades in when it appears, making transitions gentler
23. Clearer notices when video, audio or control is turned off for a big screen window
24. Fixed big screen title bar buttons not responding to hover, and added a tooltip to each of them

VMOS Cast v1.0.4 Release Notes:

New Features

1. New "Aggregate Wall": pick a group and put the whole group in one window to watch and operate together — every screen can be tapped and controlled directly. Open it from the "Aggregate Wall" button at the top or the icon at the end of a group row in the sidebar
2. Aggregate Wall has "Auto Arrange": one click fits every screen into the window, and landscape car units mixed with portrait phones still line up neatly
3. In the Aggregate Wall you can drag a screen by its title to move it and drag its bottom-right corner to resize it; enlarging or maximizing the window enlarges every screen with it
4. Each screen's title can switch between model name and connection name with one click and remembers your choice
5. The device wall now marks which devices already have a big screen window open — click it to bring that window to the front
6. "Add Device" and "Scan Devices" are now one window: addresses you type in (paste many lines at once) and devices found by scanning appear in the same list, and you add them all at once
7. Every device in that list is checked automatically and labelled reachable / no response / pairing required / already added — only ones you can actually connect to can be selected
8. You can enter several ranges to scan, or leave it empty and let the app find devices on your local network by itself
9. Choose which group to put devices into right when you add them
10. Devices you saved that are currently unreachable now still show on the device wall (they used to be added but invisible) and turn online by themselves once the device comes up
11. The sidebar width can be dragged, and stays the way you set it next time
12. You can copy text from the terminal in the big screen window (Cmd+C on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+C on Windows and Linux)
13. Before sharing logs, the app checks whether the system share options are available and walks you through enabling what is missing (Mac only)

Fixes & Improvements

1. Big screen windows open much faster: from clicking a device to seeing its picture is down from about 2.5s to under 0.5s, with no lag when the window opens
2. After typing Chinese, the text left behind on the device clipboard is cleared automatically
3. When a device stays unreachable, the app stops retrying endlessly and tells you "connection timed out" instead
4. Sidebar group order fixed: the default group stays on top and your own groups follow in the order you created them; click a group you already selected to clear the filter and go back to all devices
5. The sidebar "Move to group / Remove selected" bar moved to the bottom and only appears when devices are selected; devices inside a group now follow the same order as the device wall
6. Status messages (connection failed, device disconnected, connection timed out, video off) now look consistent across the device wall, big screen window and Aggregate Wall, and loading states switch more smoothly
7. The card right-click menu is back to a vertical menu with labels (Rename / Device details) instead of icons only
8. Fixed devices you removed occasionally coming back to the device wall by themselves
9. Fixed older versions of the client possibly rolling the service on the device back to an older version

VMOS Cast v1.0.3 Release Notes:

New Features

1. New "Run Commands in Batch": select multiple devices, enter a command and run it on each device with per-device results
2. New "Copy Device Info": pick the fields you need (brand, model, IP, resolution, etc.) and copy the info of multiple devices at once
3. New "Batch Install / Push Files": install an apk to many devices at once (existing apps with the same package are updated in place), or push files to devices in batch
4. New terminal panel in the focus window: a real interactive shell with directory state, Ctrl+C, command history and CJK output, for both USB and LAN devices, with light/dark theme support
5. New device alias: right-click a device card to rename it — applied instantly in the wall and sidebar, and kept across restarts
6. New secure-screen and screen-off notices: when a device sits on a protected page (password, payment, etc.) or its screen is off, the card and focus window show a clear notice (with a one-click wake button) instead of a black screen or a false "connection failed"

Fixes & Improvements

1. Fixed "connection failed" on some Xiaomi Android 16 (HyperOS) devices in the device wall
2. Fixed a black focus window on ultra-wide / very high-resolution devices — stream resolution now adapts to your computer's hardware decoding capability
3. Fixed landscape devices opening a tiny focus window with large empty margins — the window now fits the frame's orientation automatically
4. More reliable connection state: readiness is confirmed by an actual service response and network routing is chosen only after that, fixing occasional "connection failed" during cold start on some devices
5. Fixed devices with a lock-screen PIN, and certain cloud devices, being shown as "connection failed" or emptying the whole device list
6. Chinese text input improvements: the best injection method is chosen per device type, occasional duplicated characters on rapid input are fixed, and typing no longer pollutes the device clipboard history
7. The IME candidate bar now pops outside the right edge of the window and no longer covers the mirrored screen
8. Fixed Cmd/Ctrl+V not pasting your computer's clipboard into the device in the focus window
9. Fixed gradual stability degradation and stutter caused by accumulated local connection resources over long sessions
10. The device wall now recovers automatically when the on-device service is interrupted externally (restart, or killed by another tool) — no manual reconnect needed
11. The device wall and focus window recover automatically after replugging the cable or rebooting the device
12. Unified offline style: offline devices keep their last frame under a translucent "Device offline" veil
13. Smoother drag-resize of the focus window (upgraded the underlying framework to remove edge-drag jitter)
14. During a brief video reconnection, the window now shows "Connecting in HD" instead of falsely popping "Resizing"

VMOS Cast v1.0.2 Release Notes:

New Features

1. New right-click menu and "Device Details" on cards — view a device's connection type, system version, resolution and more, and check for device-side updates
2. Added screenshot support for Android 16 devices
3. Redesigned sidebar device tree: collapsible groups, a group checkbox to select all at once, and a dialog to move devices between groups
4. A brand-new casting window: top info bar + right toolbar + bottom three-button row, with the image filling the frame and no black bars
5. Three casting-window styles: Standard / Minimal / Immersive, switchable with one click
6. New maximize button for the casting window (fills the workspace proportionally, keeping the picture's aspect ratio)
7. The casting window auto-fits the image's aspect ratio, and resizing locks the proportions so the picture never distorts

13. Group control is now a toggle with an illustrated first-time walkthrough; tap any device's screen to make it the leader and the other selected devices follow along
14. The device-side service stays up to date automatically — no manual updates needed

Fixes & Improvements

1. Casting several devices at once is smoother and much easier on your computer's CPU and bandwidth, thanks to an efficient screenshot-based stream
2. The device wall opens instantly — the device service stays resident in the background and is reused when you reopen the app, no more cold-start wait
3. USB devices appear the moment you plug in — connect the cable and the device shows up on the wall automatically, no manual refresh
4. Works even if your computer has never had adb installed — USB just works out of the box
5. After replugging the cable or restarting a device, the device wall and casting window recover automatically — no manual reconnect
6. Richer device card info: brand + model, IP (click to copy), resolution and system version
7. Card info stays stable after a restart — no more flicker or jumping values
8. The "connecting" placeholder is now a skeleton animation, clearer than a spinner

13. New "Share Logs" in settings — on macOS you can share straight to DingTalk and others (handy for support)
14. The online-update dialog now shows what's new in this release
15. Redesigned empty-state guide for the device wall
16. Fixed Chinese input adding an extra letter for the first Pinyin key
17. Fixed shortcut keys (Ctrl/Cmd + A/C/V, etc.) not working in the casting window
18. Fixed "Restore Defaults" also changing the main window's size and position
19. Fixed sidebar labels sticking together and selected-row text overflowing in the English interface
20. Fixed check-for-update failures showing a raw error, now a friendly message
21. Fixed leftover processes after an abnormal exit causing a blank screen or "port in use" on the next launch
22. Fixed the casting window occasionally showing the wrong resolution
23. Fixed the title bar showing/hiding erratically in Immersive style on macOS — it now auto-hides after a few seconds idle and reappears when you move the mouse to the top of the window
24. Fixed the "device-side version" in Device Details showing a fixed value — it now shows the real version
