The Tempering Update
Steel comes out of the crucible hard and brittle. Tempering is what comes next — the second, gentler heat that makes it hold. Version 0.8.5 adds nothing to the flask. Instead, the whole product — the app, the Pro module, the Android bridge and the services behind your licence — was read line by line, pass after pass, looking for what could go wrong. What came out is an app that aims every risky command at the phone you actually chose, a licence that survives our bad days as well as yours, fewer round trips to the device on every page, and a long list of quiet failures that now either work or say so. The kind of release you only notice by what stops happening.
🔐Security
🎯The right phone, every time: deleting files, clearing an app's data, rebooting to the bootloader or powering off now go to the device you confirmed on — even if another phone is plugged in while the confirmation is still on screen.
📂Safer "Open with": a file pulled from your phone can no longer disguise itself as a harmless document and run as a program on your PC, whether through a trailing dot, a look-alike name already in the cache, or a less common executable type.
🧪Recipes checked the way they run: a DNS hostname is now validated exactly as it is sent to the phone, on your machine and in the community library alike, and unusual package or setting names are always quoted before they reach the device shell.
🔑Your licence, better guarded: the Pro module is never left decrypted on disk, its download gives up cleanly on a stalled connection instead of hanging, and the services behind it reject forged notifications and never echo a key or an address back.
🛡️Licences That Hold
🪟Windows updates no longer lock you out: a feature update used to make your own PC look like a stranger to your licence, recoverable only through support. Your machine now keeps the same identity for good.
☁️Our outage is not your problem: if the licence service or the store cannot answer, Pro simply stays as it was. Only a real answer about your licence can change it.
🔁Pro comes back on its own: your key is never thrown away on a bad day. When a licence recovers, the module downloads and loads again by itself — no restart, no retyping.
💻Moving to a new PC works: deactivating to transfer a licence now succeeds, and a freshly reinstalled Windows can reclaim its own seat without writing to anyone.
📅Cancelled means "until the end of what you paid for": a subscription you have cancelled stays fully Pro — cloud analysis included — until its paid period is over.
⚡Performance
🗑️Batches, not queues: uninstalling or restoring many apps, running a recipe's debloat list, restoring a Time Vial and moving several files now travel to the phone together instead of one command at a time.
📁File Manager, lighter on connect: plugging a phone in no longer loads the same folder, storage chart and bookmarks twice, and sizing a dropped folder no longer freezes the window.
📡Quieter device polling: the connection check stops asking the phone for its brand and model every few seconds, and the name and battery no longer flicker on a missed reading.
📜Long lists stay smooth: the recipe lists and the vial comparison now draw only the rows you can see, just as Debloat already did.
📊A leaner Performance Monitor Pro: fewer calls to the phone every second, and no heavy memory sweep left running for the whole session after a single failed reading.
🔄Improvements
✒️The typeface finally arrives: the app's own font was quietly missing on most machines, and buttons, menus and tooltips fell back to the system one. It now loads everywhere, on every control.
📊Performance Monitor fits your window Pro: the six live graphs used to be cut off on a laptop screen or any window that was not maximised. The page now scrolls, and every card keeps its full height.
🧮Reports that only count what happened: the optimizer no longer claims steps the phone did not perform or space it could not measure, and the report speaks one unit throughout.
🗑️Debloat survives a detour: loading a phone's apps and glancing at another page no longer throws the run away — it carries on and is waiting when you return.
🇮🇹Italian, everywhere it was missing: the APK Installer, the ADB console and its twelve shortcuts, Power Options and the licence status were still partly English in the Italian build. They are not any more.
🎨One way to confirm, one green, one red: every confirmation now looks and reads the same, errors look like errors, and "it worked" and "it failed" are one colour each — in the app and on this site.
🐛Fixes & Polish
⏳Time Vials restore the vial you opened, never values mixed in from one you glanced at before it, and the baseline vial can no longer be deleted by accident.
📁File Manager tells the truth: Paste lands in the folder you pasted into, push and pull ask before replacing, a folder you are not allowed to open says so instead of looking empty, and large pulls no longer time out halfway.
📦APK Installer picks the right pieces: 32-bit phones get their own split instead of the 64-bit one, a damaged APK no longer stalls the whole queue, the status keeps moving during an install, and unpacked XAPK files are cleaned up.
🧪Recipes stay put: one malformed recipe no longer hides your whole library, the editor keeps tweaks it cannot display, and a failed delete says so instead of quietly coming back.
🎚️Advanced, honest to the end: the history records only what the phone actually did, the animation slider shows its fill and still moves after a reset, and restoring a vial bottles your current settings first, like every other change.
🧾Smaller things, gone: a batch uninstall finishes even while your antivirus scans, the ADB console reconnects to the right phone, Settings re-checks ADB instead of remembering a failure, the sidebar keeps its highlight, and an unexpected error is always reported instead of closing the app silently.
⭐Pro Module 1.0.7
🎬Screen Mirror, steadier: the status pill reads Connected when it is, audio-only recording works, a recording follows the phone it started on and stops when the app closes, a failed recording explains why, and a scrcpy update never lands during a live session.
📈Performance Monitor, clean readings: switching phones no longer carries the old phone's numbers into the new graphs, the GPU card recovers after a reconnect, and a failed battery reading is shown as missing rather than as zero.
🛡️Privacy tweaks undo honestly: a revert that fails now says so and keeps its undo, and the memory tweak restores only the values it changed.
🧹Under the Hood
📱Zephyr's Agent 1.2.1: the Android bridge drops features nothing used and asks for one permission fewer, and the app now notices when the bridge cannot be reached instead of waiting on it.
🧹A deep clean across the codebase: unused code removed, duplicated colours and styles collapsed into one design system shared with the Pro module, repeated device commands merged into a single path, and every diagnostic line routed to the log you can export from Settings.
