  ## Mobster CLI 0.4.4
  Your checks keep running on a busy Mac, such as a hosted CI runner, when a read of the screen times out.
  ```
uv tool upgrade mobster-cli
```
    - A tap, swipe or typed text whose outcome is unknown still stops the run, and Mobster never repeats it.

  ## Mobster for Mac 0.4.0
  Our launch release: long tasks, the AI subscription you already pay for, and one task on several iPhones at once.
    - Long tasks show their plan, phone time, and cost first, and end in a report that links each finding to its source.
  - Pick Codex, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI in the composer, and the task runs on your ChatGPT, Claude, or Google subscription.
  - Select several iPhones in the composer to run one task on all of them at once, each with its own approvals.
  - A repeated task reuses its steps.
  - Notion, Linear, GitHub, Sentry, Jira, and more connect in one click, and every tool starts at Ask.

  ## Several phones, sign-in codes, and a new look
    - Mobster drives as many USB iPhones and simulators as you connect, one task each, at the same time.
  - Mobster finds a sign-in code the phone received, asks you, and types it without the model seeing it.
  - Mobster reads Notification Center without tapping anything, with codes masked.
  - If your iPhone is locked or unplugged, the task stops before any model call and tells you what to do.
