¶ August 17, 2026 - File browser, USB burning, URL downloads, and app install improvements
Here is a summary of changes shipped since our last update.
One of our most requested features is here. You can now manage your files without ever leaving Command Deck.
- Browse, inspect, and manage files on your server directly from Command Deck with a two-pane layout and details panel
- Switch between icon and list view modes
- Copy, move, delete, and rename files and folders with tracked progress and per-file transfer notifications
- Upload and download files directly to your NAS when on Local (this works over VPN connections as well, just not through the hosted Command Deck)
- Drag-and-drop upload support with bulk batching
- Download files from the internet directly to your server with optional checksum verification
- Shift-click range selection and Ctrl/Cmd-click toggle selection for managing multiple files at once
- Burn ISO files directly to USB devices attached to your server with verified writes and step-by-step progress tracking (Local connection required)
- First-boot-only install questions are now hidden from app Options after initial setup, keeping the settings view clean
- App update notifications are now grouped by day with the date each update was first detected
- Newly curated apps now appear newest-first in the catalog
- App version display now shows both the app version and TrueNAS catalog version
- Cache, log, special, and dedup vdev members are now correctly assigned to their pool instead of appearing as unused drives
- DNS rebind protection detection: if your router is blocking Command Deck from reaching your server, HexOS now detects this and notifies you with guidance on how to fix it
- Improved hosted-mode banner: Return to Local is disabled until the local Command Deck is confirmed reachable
