Jump Desktop 10 Release Candidate 1

Version 10.15.3 (2026-07-04)

Changes since 10.14.5:

Important: This version changes which USB devices can be redirected. Redirecting USB devices other than game controllers (such as styluses, pen tablets, and other HID devices) now requires a Teams Enterprise subscription on macOS and Windows. Game controller redirection remains available to everyone, and Teams Enterprise accounts are unaffected. Without a Teams Enterprise subscription, other device types show an upgrade option in the Devices menu.

New Features

  • Viewer: iOS: Game controllers are now supported! Connect a physical game controller to your iOS device and connect to your machine, tap the tool icon and select the game controller in the new Devices menu.  
  • Viewer: iOS: New on-screen game controller: Enable On-Screen Controller in the Devices menu to get a customizable touch controller with thumbsticks, triggers, and buttons; use Edit mode to drag the controls anywhere, with separate layouts for portrait and landscape.

Improvements

  • Viewer: The Codec menu now explains why an option is unavailable instead of showing a grayed-out entry with no reason.
  • Viewer: When the codec is set to Hardware, Jump now prefers a codec your device can also decode in hardware, improving smoothness and battery life on devices like iPads.
  • Viewer: iOS: Redesigned display settings for Fluid connections — choose between Single Virtual Display and Host Displays, pick a resolution mode, or set a custom resolution, all from the Display menu and the computer's settings page. A one-time prompt on first connect helps you pick the best display setup, and Single Virtual Display now enables Retina automatically for sharp output.

Bug Fixes

  • Viewer: Fix a rare crash that could occur shortly after a session ends.
  • Viewer: Fix the video stream failing to recover after a decoding error when using the Fluid 2.0 codec.
  • Connect: macOS: Fix an external monitor staying black after disconnecting from a session that used virtual displays on a Mac running with its lid closed.

Jump Desktop 10 Beta 9

Version 10.13.6 (2026-06-08)

Changes since 10.13.4:

  • Connect: macOS: Fix a regression introduced in beta 8 where the host's physical monitors could stay black after a session that used a virtual display. 
  • Connect: Windows: Fix a virtual display going black after a resolution or display-mode change on PCs with NVIDIA graphics.

Jump Desktop 10 Beta 8

Version 10.13.4 (2026-06-02)

Changes since 10.13.2:

New Features

  • Connect: Add a Show QR Code button to the Add User sign-in dialog — scan it with your phone to sign in and attach the computer instead of copying the sign-in link on the host.

Improvements

  • Viewer: Windows: Hardware security key (FIDO) redirection is no longer offered on Windows viewers, where the operating system does not allow it to work. FIDO from macOS to Windows hosts still works. 

Bug Fixes

  • Viewer: Fix surround (7.1) audio collapsing to stereo on connect; surround sound now works from the moment you connect instead of only after changing the audio device.
  • Viewer: Fix a memory leak during video streaming that could grow memory use over long sessions.
  • Viewer: iOS: Restore hardware video decoding after the app returns from the background — previously it stayed in slower software decoding for the rest of the session.
  • Viewer: iOS: Fix Korean hardware-keyboard typing producing ghost characters and stray deletions.
  • Viewer: macOS: Fix a rare crash when redirecting a hardware security key (FIDO).
  • Viewer: macOS: Fix a memory leak in the connection statistics overlay.
  • Connect: Fix a memory leak during video streaming that could grow memory use over long sessions.
  • Connect: macOS: Fix virtual displays being created at an incorrect, oversized resolution that also persisted across reconnects.

Jump Desktop 10 Beta 7

Version 10.13.2 (2026-05-25)

Changes since 10.12.15:

New Features

  • Viewer: iOS: Added a quick Lock Mouse Pointer toggle to Options → Input → Mouse, so you can lock or release the cursor in one tap. The iPad top menu bar also gains a full Mouse submenu (Show Pointer, Show Circle, Lock Mouse Pointer, Physical Mouse) — previously only "Physical Mouse" was there.

Improvements

  • Viewer: iOS: Major performance and stability improvements on iPhone and iPad, with smoother video, lower CPU and battery use, and fewer hangs.
  • Viewer: iOS: When you change input methods mid-session, the language name (e.g. "Korean (South Korea)") now briefly flashes on screen. Helpful on iPad with a hardware keyboard, where iPadOS otherwise gives no indication that you've switched.
  • Viewer: If starting USB redirection fails because another app is holding the device, you now get a clear dialog with a Learn More link explaining what happened, instead of a generic error. On macOS, more situations are now correctly recognized as "another app has the device" — including devices claimed by helper apps like the Stream Deck or Elgato Control Center.
  • Viewer: FIDO / WebAuthn security keys work better over USB redirection. The remote computer now shows the system's standard PIN prompt for your key, and more types of authenticators are supported.
  • Connect: Forwarding-gateway launch URLs can now use a hostname, not just an IP address.

Bug Fixes

  • Viewer: Fixed selecting the Fluid codec silently switching you to Fluid 2.0 against older hosts.
  • Viewer: macOS: Fixed RDP "Start in: Fullscreen (all displays)" on a multi-monitor Mac rendering as a tiny window, showing only one host display, or putting your screens in the wrong positions. Your full screen layout is now mirrored on the remote side.
  • Viewer: macOS: Fixed two crashes when starting an RDP session: one when laying out windows across multiple monitors, and one during session initialization.
  • Viewer: macOS: Fixed the viewer becoming sluggish or pinning a CPU core when its window is hidden behind a fullscreen app, on a closed laptop lid, on a disconnected external display, or on another Space. It now goes quiet while hidden and picks back up the moment the window is visible again.
  • Viewer: iOS: Fixed several hardware-keyboard issues with Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Pinyin input methods — including stray deletions and garbled characters while composing Korean, Pinyin spaces leaking through to a US-English remote, Return adding a new line instead of confirming a CJK conversion, the candidate popup appearing off-screen, and the Option key getting stuck after switching from Korean back to English.
  • Viewer: iOS: Holding Esc to release Lock Mouse now works (the on-screen hint said to use it, but it was a no-op).
  • Connect: macOS: Fixed a crash when shutting down your Mac, logging out, or otherwise quitting JumpConnect from the system.
  • Connect: Windows: Fixed virtual-display capture occasionally getting stuck after a display resolution change.
