v1.5.4
Published May 16, 2026
Three small follow-ups to v1.5.3.
haptix tools lists every MCP tool the daemon currently exposes. Useful when an in-flight AI client cached its tool list from before the daemon was upgraded and doesn't see the new ones.
start_session now accepts an optional force: true to recover from a stale session lock left behind by a script that crashed mid-run. Default behavior is unchanged for normal callers — force is opt-in.
The annotated screenshot tool's element-index output is sent as separate content blocks instead of one concatenated block, which keeps strict JSON parsers in the field happy.

v1.5.3
May 16, 2026
Release notes
New MCP actions tool sends a sequence of taps, double-taps, long-presses, and text input as one call — useful when an agent has already planned the next several moves from a single screenshot and doesn't need a round-trip between each step. Capped at 32 actions per call and 25 seconds of wall-time; stops at the first failure.
Installer reliability — curl install.sh now succeeds more consistently across machine configurations.

v1.5.2
May 16, 2026
Release notes
Adds in-place recovery for the most common stuck states so you don't reach for a full reinstall.
haptix permissions status reports macOS Camera access and per-device agent state. haptix permissions fix re-prompts when permission is undetermined, or opens System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera when it's been denied.
haptix devices refresh forces a fresh poll of connected devices when discovery has stalled. haptix capture status, start, stop, and restart give you direct control over the screen-capture stream lifecycle.
Matching read-only MCP tools (permissions_status, capture_status) let an agent inspect state. Fix paths stay CLI-only so an agent never surprises you by opening System Settings.
If screen capture stops delivering frames and the usual replug-and-restart doesn't help, the recovery hint now suggests rebooting the Mac as the next step.

v1.5.1
May 16, 2026 · SDK 1.5 MB
Release notes
Four agent-quality improvements in one release.
The agent's MCP system context now leads with two operating rules — act only on what is visibly on screen, and ask the user when two or three reasonable attempts haven't worked. Agents stay grounded in the most recent screenshot instead of acting on stale accessibility-tree assumptions, and they check in instead of looping.
Annotated screenshots now work on any iOS app without HaptixKit embedded. Box-and-label overlays are composed Mac-side on the captured frame, so visual debugging works on apps you don't own.
Long gestures stay alive. A multi-second draw_path through many waypoints now streams MCP notifications/progress frames as it runs, so subscribing clients see in-flight state instead of waiting silently.
find_element and inspect_region are sub-second on dense screens like social feeds and Settings.

v1.5.0
May 12, 2026 · SDK 1.5 MB
Release notes
v1.5.0 moves licensing into the daemon and aligns version numbers across the stack.
The license key now lives with the Haptix daemon instead of being passed in by the iOS SDK. If you're embedding HaptixKit, the license: parameter on Haptix.start(...) is now ignored — leave existing code as-is and the daemon authenticates on its own.
Daemon, CLI, on-device agent, and SDK all ship at the same version from this release forward, which removes the version-mismatch warnings between the pieces.
