Sound from your Mac, a beta feature: your iPhone or iPad plays the sound of the window you’re using, or of every app for the Desktop, a moment behind the picture. Send Audio in Sill’s settings on your iPhone or iPad, or in the Sill menu on your Mac, turns it off and on for every device, and Mute in Sill’s settings silences it on one device. It needs Sill for Mac from this release. Pinch to zoom: two fingers zoom the picture up to 5× around the point between them, and move it while it’s zoomed. Taps, clicks and scrolls land on what you see under your finger. Pinch all the way out to see everything again. Larger Picture option on iPhone: held upright, a window’s picture takes the place of the window thumbnails and reaches down to where the keyboard comes up. Set a window’s text size with Aa and your Mac makes it as tall as the picture. The Desktop keeps the usual layout. With a keyboard attached to your iPhone or iPad, what you type goes to your Mac as soon as its picture shows, Esc included, without the Keyboard button. Two fingers on a trackpad, or a mouse’s scroll wheel, now scroll the window under the pointer. Your Mac computers now show as tiles, each with its screen as you last left it. Touch and hold one to put it in a group, such as Home or Work. To list them instead, tap the button beside Connect to a Mac; Sill remembers your choice. Reverse Scrolling, in Settings: a finger dragged over the picture, or two fingers on the trackpad below it, scroll the other way. A trackpad or mouse connected to your iPad keeps following its Natural Scrolling setting. Hold a window’s thumbnail and its close, minimize and full-screen controls now show after half a second, not a second and a half. To hold longer or shorter, from 0.2 to 2 seconds, use Hold to Show Window Controls in Settings. Fixed: after Sill sat in the background for hours, it could stop finding your Mac until you closed and reopened it. Sill now looks again when you come back, keeps trying for a few minutes while your Mac doesn’t answer (when it’s asleep, say), and connects when it does. Type in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other languages that compose their text, and dictate: you compose and choose on your iPhone or iPad, with the keyboards and dictation languages you set up in Settings, and what you choose is typed on your Mac. Copy and paste between your Mac and your iPhone or iPad: text you copy on your Mac is ready to paste here, and Paste in Sill pastes what you copied here where your Mac’s cursor is. Share Clipboard, in Sill’s settings on either, turns it off and on. It needs Sill for Mac from this release. Aa now starts at Off, which leaves your Mac’s window as it is, and sliding it back to Off puts a window Sill resized back to its own size right away. That needs Sill for Mac from this release: with an earlier one, Off only stops the resizing. On Sill’s virtual display a window always fits, so Aa has no Off there. Aa is dimmed while the Desktop shows: it sizes a window. While your Mac is locked, Sill shows its lock screen and nothing else, and while it is switched to another user, your iPhone or iPad says so. The Apps list, your Mac’s menus, its sound and the clipboard wait until it is unlocked. After this update, the tour of Sill’s controls shows once more, with what’s new marked New. Take the Tour, at the bottom of Settings, shows it again any time.

Made for iPhone Duo. Open it flat and your Mac fills the inner display. Half open, it's a laptop: the picture above the fold, a trackpad and keys below. Closed, Sill runs on the cover display. Nothing you touch sits on the fold. Away from home, Sill now starts at a quality a slower connection can carry, tells you when the connection can't keep up and offers a quality it can, and moves your session back to your home network by itself when you get home. Also fixed: if your Mac showed twice away from home after Sill for Mac 0.4.0 gave it a new key, the row that didn't work now connects, and the other goes. For the away quality and the notice, update Sill for Mac to 0.5.1 from getsill.app: from this release on, both apps share one version number.
