Roadmap

What We're Building Next

A transparent look at our next 6 months. The desktop core is already live, so this roadmap focuses on the next layer: safer releases, deeper protocol support, stronger ops tooling, and better AI workflows.

Shipped In Progress Planned Exploring
Mar – Apr 2026
In Progress
Release Hardening & Signed Updates In Progress

The desktop updater pipeline already exists. This phase focuses on signed artifacts, safer rollout controls, tighter install verification, and clearer in-app release notes across packaged builds.

Desktop Releases Security
Autonomous Agents & Studio Workflows In Progress

Build on the existing local agent runtime, agent memory, and Studio scaffolding so multi-step runs feel first-class: visible progress, reusable playbooks, better approvals, and run history inside project workspaces.

AI Studio
May 2026
Planned
MongoDB Browser Planned

Browse MongoDB collections, run aggregation pipelines, and inspect BSON documents. Connect via connection string or SSH tunnel alongside your SQL connections.

SQL Client MongoDB
MCP Connections & Tool Hub Planned

The runtime already loads MCP client and server foundations. Next step is a first-class UI to connect servers, browse available tools, and route them into AI workflows without manual wiring.

AI Command Center MCP
Redis Browser Planned

Browse Redis keys, inspect values and TTLs, monitor pub/sub channels, and execute commands — all from a visual interface alongside your SQL connections.

SQL Client Redis
June 2026
Planned
GraphQL Schema Explorer & Subscriptions Planned

GraphQL request bodies already work in the API client. The next step is introspection-backed docs, schema browsing, autocomplete, and subscription testing alongside REST collections.

API Client GraphQL
gRPC Client Planned

Import .proto files to generate a visual gRPC client. Browse services and methods, send unary and streaming requests, and inspect protobuf responses alongside your REST and GraphQL collections.

API Client gRPC
SSH Port Forwarding Planned

Visual tunnel manager for local → remote, remote → local, and dynamic SOCKS forwarding. Manage active tunnels from a dedicated panel with one-click toggle.

SSH Networking
Cron & Scheduled Tasks Planned

Mission-style server diagnostics already inspect cron and Laravel schedules. This phase turns that visibility into a proper scheduler workspace with editable crontabs, next-run indicators, and quick-run actions.

SSH Laravel
Jul – Aug 2026
Exploring
Docker Container Manager Exploring

List, start, stop, and restart Docker containers on SSH hosts. View live logs, inspect environments, and exec into running containers — all from the terminal panel.

SSH Docker
WebSocket / SSE Testing Exploring

Connect to WebSocket endpoints and Server-Sent Event streams directly from the API Client. Live message inspector with JSON formatting and auto-reconnect.

API Client WebSocket SSE
Monitoring & Incident Dashboards Exploring

Unify server diagnostics, queue health, Redis/MySQL checks, SSL status, and structured log snapshots into one ops surface with saved checks, teammate handoff, and faster triage.

Ops Diagnostics
CI/CD Integrations Exploring

Trigger API test runs from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Bitbucket Pipelines. Export results as JUnit XML or JSON for CI dashboards.

GitHub Actions CI/CD
Plugin / Extension System Exploring

Allow third-party plugins to extend VORTΞXHQ. Sandboxed extension API for custom panel views, toolbar actions, and protocol handlers with a built-in marketplace.
