v26.2.3: Mobile Companion Server & Permission Fixes

Braid Team
Braid Team

We're introducing the foundation for our upcoming mobile companion app! This release includes a new companion server with end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) pairing so you can securely control your terminal from your phone. Additionally, we've refined our webview permissions so embedded apps work seamlessly without annoying dialogs.

Thanks to Sujal for flagging the DRM playback issue that kicked off the v26.2.2 permission fixes!

Added​

  • Mobile companion server - Braid now runs a local WebSocket server that supports E2EE pairing. This is the backend infrastructure for an upcoming mobile app that will let you monitor and interact with your terminal sessions on the go.

Fixed​

  • Webview permissions dialog - We noticed that the unknown permission prompts introduced in v26.2.2 could get noisy for some web apps. Braid now automatically grants standard webview permissions without interrupting you with a dialog prompt.
