Camera roll mode for the paperclip. If you attach photos far more often than you send a video or a file, switch it on in Settings and the paperclip opens your camera roll on a plain tap. Tap and hold it for the file, image, and video menu.
While camera roll mode is on, the button becomes a photo icon with a small paperclip in the corner, so you can tell at a glance which mode you are in.
Tmux auto-attach now explains itself when it cannot find your session. If your server does not publish its session name as the terminal title, reattaching had nothing to aim at. ShellDrop now points you straight at the one-time server setup in Settings, under Tmux tab-name sync.
Small fixes and polish.

Close Tab: close the current tab from the terminal tap-and-hold menu, with a Settings toggle.
Paste with a hardware keyboard: Cmd+V and trackpad right-click now paste straight into the terminal on iPad.
Connections that die after a VPN switch are now detected and reconnected automatically.
Small fixes and polish.

1. Paste images straight into your agent's session, or tap the new paperclip to attach a file, photo or video. Copy from any app, multi-select from Photos, or pick from Files.
2. You choose the upload size limit. Settings goes from 100 MB to 1 GB, and if a file is over, ShellDrop offers to raise it on the spot.
3. Text selection: selection mode, long press to select a word, one tap links to open them.
4. Voice Drop. Tap the mic on the keyboard toolbar, drop your words straight into the agent. On-device Siri by default, bring your own API key for Groq. On by default, disable in Settings. Also works perfectly with any voice keyboard of your choice (e.g. Wispr Flow).
5. The keyboard toolbar is yours now: tap and hold to rearrange, and create your own Tmux-aware key bindings in Settings. Sticky ctrl for all of your perverted tmux activities, multiple new useful buttons added.
6. Tab names now sync with tmux automatically.
7. Ask your agent to send any block of text straight to your device clipboard. E.g. "copy that email to my clipboard", then paste it into your mail app and send. Turn on "Let server send to clipboard" in settings.
8. Nerd Font support: FiraCode and JetBrains Mono, so nvim looks the way it should.
9. Droplet Visualizer: the feature that nobody asked for. Open any session like a portal, spin the pyramid for fun.
10. Settings - feature request: let me know what you want. If your feature has been included, you've been chosen. Make a post on Reddit about this, then get in touch with the link to your post. I will let you into my secret cult. Am I joking? Find out.

SSH keys. Generate Ed25519 keys or hardware-backed Secure Enclave keys inside the app. Or paste-import any OpenSSH key (Ed25519, ECDSA). With Secure Enclave the private key never leaves the iPhone hardware. Even ShellDrop can't read it.
Quick Drop. Pin one saved connection to the home screen for one-tap launch. Long-press the card or open Settings to change which one.
Home and Droplet Launch screens redesigned. New mesh-build animation, Active Droplets section above running sessions, cleaner card layout, faster settle, iPad widths tuned to the connection cards.
Smaller fixes: the reverse-scroll chevron indicator now matches terminal direction when reverse scrolling is enabled.
