+# Task Sync
+
+Task Sync streams task activity from your local VS Code to Roo Code Cloud so you can monitor progress from any device — desktop, tablet, or phone. This feature is free for all users.
+
+> Important
+> - Roo Code remains completely free and open source
+> - Task Sync only sends data one-way (from your IDE to the cloud) for monitoring
+> - All model execution still happens locally in your VS Code
+> - For remote control capabilities, see [Roomote Control](/roo-code-cloud/roomote-control)
+
+## What is Task Sync?
+
+Task Sync creates a live, one-way stream of your task messages and status from your local VS Code to Roo Code Cloud so you can:
+- Monitor long-running tasks from your phone while away from your desk
+- See real-time updates (messages, mode changes, status)
+- Check when a task completes without sitting in front of your IDE
+- Review your cloud task history later
+
+<img src="/img/task-sync/task-sync.png" alt="Roo Code Cloud home showing connected workspaces and tasks" width="800" />
+
+## Key Capabilities
+
+- Realtime monitoring from any browser (desktop, tablet, phone)
+- Live message stream and status indicators (running, idle, interactive)
+- Cloud task history for later review
+- Secure, one-way sync of task data only
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Connect your IDE (see [Login/Signup](/roo-code-cloud/login))
+2. Open or start a task in your local Roo Code extension
+3. Visit the dashboard at https://app.roocode.com to monitor in real time
+
+Task Sync is available automatically after you connect your account. No extra configuration is required.
+
+## Mobile Monitoring
+
+Task Sync is optimized for mobile. Check in on progress between meetings, during a build, or while a model is running — without being stuck at your desk.
+
+## Upgrading to Remote Control
+
+If you also want to continue tasks remotely (approve actions, respond to prompts, start/stop tasks), enable [Roomote Control](/roo-code-cloud/roomote-control).  
+Pro includes a free 14‑day trial, then $20/month — see [Billing & Subscriptions](/roo-code-cloud/billing-subscriptions).
+
+## Limitations
+
+- One-way monitoring only; no cloud commands are sent to your IDE
+- Requires your IDE to be open and connected
+- Internet connection required for live updates

+
+This release introduces Task Sync & Roomote Control - check on long-running tasks from your phone and keep them going without being stuck at your desk. Plus enhanced chat editing and multiple bug fixes.
+
+## Task Sync & Roomote Control
+
+Introducing our new cloud connectivity features that let you **monitor and control long-running tasks from your phone** - no more waiting at your desk! ([#7799](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7799), [#7805](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7805), [#7850](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7850)):
+
+> **Important**: Roo Code remains **completely free and open source**. Task Sync and Roomote Control are optional supplementary services that connect your local VS Code to the cloud - all processing still happens in your VS Code instance.
+
+<img src="/img/v3.28.0/v3.28.0.png" alt="Roomote Control interface showing real-time task monitoring and control from browser" width="300" />

+> **📚 Documentation**: See [Task Sync](/roo-code-cloud/task-sync), [Roomote Control Guide](/roo-code-cloud/roomote-control), and [Billing & Subscriptions](/roo-code-cloud/billing-subscriptions).
+
+## QOL Improvements

+* **UI Overlap**: Fixed CodeBlock button z-index to prevent overlap with popovers and configuration panels (thanks A0nameless0man!) ([#7783](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7783))
+* **Temperature Parameter**: Restored temperature parameter to fix crashes in TabbyApi and ExLlamaV2 backends (thanks drknyt!) ([#7594](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7594))
+* **Ollama Model Info**: Fixed max context window display for Ollama models (thanks ItsOnlyBinary!) ([#7679](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7679))
+
+## Provider Updates
+
+* **Vertex AI Models**: Added support for 6 new models including DeepSeek-V3, GPT-OSS, and Qwen models, plus the us-south1 region (thanks ssweens!) ([#7727](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7727))
