    Add Support for Macro-Relay Stable

    jknapp released this 2026-01-06 05:10:18 +00:00 | 4 commits to main since this release

    MacroPad Server v0.9.5

    Major New Features

    Relay Server for Remote Access
    Access your macros from anywhere! The new relay server enables secure remote access to MacroPad over HTTPS.

    • Connect to a hosted relay server (or self-host your own)
    • Password-protected sessions with unique URLs
    • Real-time sync between desktop and mobile devices
    • Full PWA support with wake lock and fullscreen mode
    • Works from any device with a web browser

    Minimize to Tray
    The application now minimizes to the system tray instead of the taskbar, keeping your workspace clean while MacroPad runs in the background.

    Settings Dialog
    New Edit → Settings menu with:

    • General tab: Minimize to tray preference
    • Relay Server tab: Enable/configure relay connection with password and server URL

    Windows Startup
    New File → Start on Windows Startup option to automatically launch MacroPad when Windows starts.

    Improvements

    • Wake Lock Fix: The screen wake lock icon now displays correctly on all devices, including tablets. Shows as "unsupported" when the feature isn't available instead of being hidden.
    • QR Code/URL Updates: Desktop app now properly updates the displayed URL and QR code when connected to relay server

    Relay Server (Self-Hosting)

    A Node.js relay server is included in the macropad-relay/ directory for self-hosting. Features:

    • WebSocket-based communication
    • bcrypt password hashing
    • Session persistence
    • Rate limiting and security headers
    • Compatible with cloud-node-container deployment

    See macropad-relay/DEPLOY.md for deployment instructions.

    Hotkey Macro Fix Stable

    jknapp released this 2026-01-04 20:33:09 +00:00 | 15 commits to main since this release

    Bug Fixes

    • Fixed hotkey execution on Windows - Hotkey macros now work reliably on Windows by adding proper timing intervals between key presses. Previously, pyautogui was sending key events too rapidly for some Windows applications to register them correctly.

    Technical Details

    • Added 50ms interval between key presses in hotkey combinations
    • Added small delay before hotkey execution for better Windows compatibility
    • Added defensive handling for edge cases in hotkey data format

    jknapp released this 2026-01-04 02:45:47 +00:00 | 21 commits to main since this release

    MacroPad Server v0.9.0

    A major modernization release with a complete rewrite of the desktop GUI, web server, and macro system.

    Highlights

    • New Desktop GUI — Migrated from Tkinter to PySide6/Qt6 for a modern, responsive interface
    • Command Sequences — Build multi-step macros with text, keys, hotkeys, delays, and app launches
    • PWA Web Interface — Mobile-friendly interface with fullscreen mode and screen wake lock
    • Modern Stack — FastAPI + Uvicorn replaces Flask, pyproject.toml replaces requirements.txt

    New Features

    Command Sequence Builder

    Create powerful macros with multiple commands:

    • Text — Type text strings (with full Unicode support)
    • Key — Press individual keys (Enter, Tab, Escape, F1-F12, etc.)
    • Hotkey — Key combinations (Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab, etc.)
    • Wait — Insert delays between commands (in milliseconds)
    • App — Launch applications or run shell commands

    Desktop App Improvements

    • Visual command builder with drag-and-drop reordering
    • Category dropdown with existing categories + custom entry
    • Right-click context menu to edit/delete macros
    • System tray integration
    • QR code for quick mobile access

    Web Interface

    • Clean, mobile-optimized execute-only interface
    • Fullscreen mode button for distraction-free use
    • Wake lock keeps screen on while using the app
    • Real-time sync via WebSocket
    • Works offline (cached via service worker)

    Migration Notes

    Automatic Macro Migration

    Existing macros from v0.8.x are automatically converted to the new command sequence format on first launch. No action required.

    Old format: {"type": "text", "command": "Hello", "modifiers": {"enter": true}}

    New format:

    Command Value
    text Hello
    key enter

    Build System

    Now uses pyproject.toml with support for both uv and pip:

    With uv (recommended):

    • pip install -e .
    • python main.py
