Product roadmap

Every SandVPN app, and what comes next

Nine platforms on the board: five you can install today, two being written right now, two committed. No dates we cannot keep — this page changes when the code does.

56% of the roadmap is live — 9 platforms tracked.

Availability at a glance

Green means you can install it today.

In development

In progress

Being written right now. These are the two builds taking our time.

  1. Android TVA remote-first build for TV boxes and Android TV sticks — large targets, D-pad navigation, no keyboard required.
  2. LinuxA native desktop client for Linux, starting with Debian and Ubuntu packages.

Planned next

Planned

Committed, not started. They come after Android TV and Linux are out.

  1. iOSAn App Store build. It comes after Linux because Apple network extensions are a rewrite, not a port.
  2. macOSA desktop client for macOS, sharing its network layer with the iOS build.

On the bench right now

Two builds in parallel. Here is what each one has to get right before it ships.

Android TV

In progress

A TV is a different machine with the same Android inside. The tunnel code carries over; everything you touch does not.

  • Navigation that works with five buttons on a remote — no hidden gestures, no small targets.
  • Sign-in without typing: pair the box from your phone instead of hunting letters on a grid keyboard.
  • Stays connected through standby, so the box never wakes up unprotected.

Linux

In progress

The most requested platform we do not have. The priority is a client that behaves like a Linux program, not a web app in a window.

  • Native packages first — Debian and Ubuntu, with a repository so updates arrive through apt.
  • A kill switch built on nftables rather than a polling loop: the tunnel drops, the traffic stops.
  • A command-line client that does everything the window does, for machines with no desktop at all.

How we decide what to build

We are a small team, so the order matters more than the list. Three rules decide it, in this order.

01

Where people already are

Support messages and search demand, counted rather than guessed. Linux moved up because the requests did.

02

Two at a time, no more

Two builds in parallel is our ceiling. Three means all three ship late, and we have made that mistake.

03

Ship, then widen

The first release covers the common case properly. Edge cases follow in updates, not in a longer wait.

Questions about the roadmap

When is the iOS app coming?

It is committed but not started — Android TV and Linux ship first. We are not giving a date, because Apple review is not ours to schedule. In the meantime the VPN works on iOS through the browser, and you can follow the build in our Telegram channel.

Is there a Linux client?

It is in development now. Debian and Ubuntu packages come first, with an apt repository so updates are automatic, plus a command-line client for servers with no desktop. Until it lands, Linux users can run the Chrome or Firefox extension, which works on every distribution.

Do you have a macOS app?

Not yet. It is planned right after iOS, because the two share the same network layer — building one makes the other far cheaper. macOS users can use the Chrome, Firefox or Edge extension today.

Will the Android TV app work on a Fire TV Stick?

That is the plan. Fire OS is Android underneath, so the same build should install. We are testing on a Google TV box and a Fire Stick before release; Nvidia Shield and Chromecast with Google TV are on the same list.

Why are there no dates on this page?

Because we would miss them. A small team publishing quarters ends up either padding every estimate or apologising every quarter. This page moves when the code does instead: an entry changes state the day the build is public, and nothing sits in development that nobody is working on.

Can I request a platform?

Yes, and it counts. What we build next is decided mostly by what people ask for. Telegram is the fastest way to reach us, or email [email protected]. Requests for the same platform get grouped, so saying it even if someone already has is useful.

Want a platform that is not on this list?

Tell us. Requests are how Linux moved up, and the channel below is read by the people writing the code.
