What changed across Social Archiver

Desktop 0.3.5 makes the desktop app reliably pick up and run voice-transcription jobs requested from mobile. It fixes a claim failure that kept transcription from starting, keeps the transcription executor available even when the app is left running for a long time, and lets the headless CLI watcher serve transcription jobs too.

• Requesting a transcription from mobile now reliably reaches the desktop app and starts right away, fixing a claim failure (could not be claimed) that previously blocked it.
• The transcription executor stays connected to the server even when the desktop app is left running for a long time; previously it could silently drop off after about a day and show no executor.
• The headless CLI watcher (social-archiver executor --watch) can now serve transcription jobs too.

Desktop 0.3.4 lets you create and copy share links (including reader-mode links) right from timeline cards, auto-syncs locally generated transcripts to the server and your other devices, and refines per-card delete options and transcription modal speed.

• Create, copy, or remove a share link straight from the Share button on timeline cards, matching the detail and reader views.
• Choose whether copying a share link uses the reader-mode link (#reader) in Settings — on by default.
• Locally generated transcripts now auto-sync to the server so they appear on mobile and other devices, and transcripts are included in AI comment analysis.
• The trash button on timeline cards opens a scoped delete menu (clear only media, transcript, or comments); only full deletion goes through a confirm dialog.
• The transcription request modal briefly caches executor readiness so it reopens instantly without a spinner, and a localpath issue that broke some media rendering is fixed.

Desktop 0.3.3 makes archive and subscription work easier to follow from Sync Activity, adds richer transcript reading in reader mode, and improves in-app YouTube playback reliability.

• Sync Activity now surfaces active and failed archive jobs alongside subscription checks, making background work easier to track.
• Reader mode can show transcripts in reading or timed-segment views, with transcript search and timecode jumps for faster video navigation.
• Reader footer actions for notes and transcription stay inline more reliably, and the desktop header title now aligns more naturally with timeline cards.
• New archives created by subscriptions appear sooner through realtime events, and the trash button on timeline cards now deletes the actual archive.
• YouTube playback is more likely to stay inside the Tauri app instead of opening an external browser, using a hosted bridge and updated frame security settings.

Desktop 0.3.2 organizes sidebar tags by usage, lets you pin important tags, and improves card rendering for YouTube embeds, external links, and inline media.

• Sidebar tags now sort by archive count, so heavily used tags are easier to reach.
• Right-click a tag to pin or unpin it at the top of the sidebar.
• Pinned tags can be reordered with drag and drop, with the drop position following whether the pointer is over the upper or lower half of the target tag.
• YouTube embed error 153 is handled more gracefully, and YouTube controls inside cards have been refined.
• External link previews and inline media render more reliably in cards, while the original inline media order is preserved.

Desktop 0.3.1 makes reader mode more reliable when reading through long lists, with steadier scroll-based loading, cleaner next-item continuation, and more complete reader actions and shortcuts.

• Reader mode now keeps a snapshot of the current Inbox or Archive list, so archiving or deleting an item can continue to the next post more predictably.
• Scroll-based loading is more reliable near the bottom of long lists, reducing cases where continuous reader navigation runs out of loaded items too early.
• Reader shortcuts are now routed through Settings > Keyboard shortcuts, and the archive shortcut advances immediately without waiting for the server response.
• Right-clicking a body link no longer opens the highlight popover by mistake.
• The reader footer now includes Add note, so you can leave a note without switching back to the detail panel or card view.

Desktop 0.3.0 connects authenticated Naver Cafe archiving through WebView sign-in on mobile and desktop, and substantially improves the feedback submission, reply, attachment, and support workflows.

• Added Naver Cafe integration. Instead of manually pasting cookies, you can sign in inside the app WebView and archive Cafe posts that require authentication.
• The archive flow now detects `cafe.naver.com`, `m.cafe.naver.com`, and `naver.me` shared links, prompts you to connect Naver Cafe, and handles mobile shared links plus `ca-fe` URLs more reliably.
• Improved Naver Cafe rendering. Image placeholders are replaced with real images, and SmartEditor source HTML is no longer shown as raw body text on mobile and desktop.
• Improved the feedback workflow with image attachments, My Feedback replies, a full-screen mobile feedback view, threaded desktop feedback cards, and clearer unread-reply notifications.
• Support operations are cleaner too: feedback reply emails, attachment indicators, duplicate/delete/hide handling, file picking, and modal layouts are more reliable.

Desktop 0.2.9 makes macOS global shortcut reassignment more reliable and improves how submitted feedback threads appear in My Feedback.

• Global shortcut changes on macOS are captured more reliably when you assign a new key combination.
• Submitted feedback threads are less likely to disappear from the My Feedback list.
• Feedback device metadata is bounded so reports stay lightweight and reliable to submit.

Desktop 0.2.8 trims sync diagnostics and makes local SQL parameter handling safer, improving account sync and local library reliability.

• Reduced noisy sync diagnostics while keeping useful information for troubleshooting.
• Hardened local database query parameter handling so unusual values are processed more safely.
• Improved internal reliability when applying synced archive data to the local library.

Desktop 0.2.7 keeps archive ordering consistent across the library and search results by using the actual archived time.

• The archive library now uses actual archived time for newest-first ordering.
• Search, filters, and date-range views keep the same ordering rule.
• Reduced cases where synced and local items could appear out of order.

Desktop 0.2.6 makes the left sidebar collapsible and resizable, and refines the layout so author cards no longer clip on narrower screens.

• Collapse the left sidebar into an icon rail and expand it again whenever you need labels.
• Drag the sidebar boundary to resize it; the app remembers the last width and collapsed state across restarts.
• Tags and platform filters move into compact rail menus while the sidebar is collapsed, keeping navigation usable in narrow layouts.
• The new Toggle sidebar shortcut can be customized from Settings > Keyboard shortcuts.
• Author cards now avoid clipping at narrow widths.

Desktop 0.2.5 supports the desktop demo login flow and routes Facebook subscription fallback through the desktop platform adapter for more reliable behavior.

• Improved the login path used to try the desktop app with a demo account.
• Facebook subscription fallback now uses the desktop WebView and platform adapter boundary more consistently.
• Desktop guidance was tidied alongside the release hub platform-link behavior.

Desktop 0.2.4 lets Facebook subscriptions continue when the server-side check is temporarily blocked but the profile opens publicly on your device, while adding an Authors card view and improving the media gallery overlay.

• When Facebook temporarily blocks the server-side subscription check, the desktop app now verifies that the public profile opens in an anonymous WebView and can continue with delayed verification.
• The delayed verification dialog offers Try again, Add anyway, and Cancel so you can decide whether to wait for the server path or add the subscription immediately.
• The Authors page now includes card view controls, making it easier to scan authors visually instead of only as a dense list.
• The media gallery lightbox now renders through a portal so the overlay is not trapped by the page layout, improving image viewing and close behavior.

Desktop 0.2.3 reduces stale archive relation data that could confuse cards and detail views, while strengthening the foundation for bulk actions in author detail views.

• Stale relations are cleaned up more reliably so removed or recalculated connections do not linger in the UI.
• Added the foundation for bulk actions from author detail views.
• Moved desktop UI-to-Tauri calls behind a platform adapter boundary to make future features and tests safer.

Desktop 0.2.2 is a reliability update. Archiving now retries automatically when the network hiccups — without creating duplicate archives — and actions like liking, bookmarking, or marking as read no longer rebuild the search index, so they stay light even on large libraries.

• Archiving is more reliable — if the network drops briefly mid-save it retries automatically, and the same post is never saved twice.
• Actions like liking, bookmarking, and marking as read are lighter — they no longer rebuild the search index, so they stay responsive even with a large archive.
• Includes behind-the-scenes work to cut redundant requests and harden internal stability.

Desktop 0.2.1 is a bug-fix update that makes quoted and reposted posts render properly in cards and the reader, and tidies the update notification banner.

• Quoted and reposted posts (Facebook shares, X quotes, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and more) now render as a proper card with the author, content, and a link to the original — some previously showed incomplete.
• Quoted posts render consistently in both timeline cards and the detail/reader view.
• The update notification banner's icon is now vertically centered with its title.

Desktop 0.2.0 reworks how the timeline renders so it stays smooth no matter how large your library grows, and lightens the media grid and reels so they use less memory.

• The timeline now renders only the cards on screen, so scrolling deep through thousands of archives stays smooth with steady memory use.
• Images in the media grid load as you scroll to them, so the grid opens faster and lighter.
• The reels video feed now preloads only the current video and its neighbors, so memory use stays flat even after long scrolling.
• List thumbnails now prefer preserved media for more accurate previews.

Desktop 0.1.10 connects the menu bar Quick Archive, global shortcuts, and Quick Search workflows to the desktop documentation and download guidance.

• Documented Quick Archive from the menu bar and how to use global shortcuts with the desktop app.
• Documented the Quick Search (⌘K) workflow for jumping through the desktop library.
• Added a macOS desktop app download path from the homepage.

The Social Archiver desktop app for Apple Silicon Macs is here. Browse, read, search, and organize your archive library on your computer, and sync with your other clients when you sign in. It includes background auto-updates and the bundled sa command-line tool.

• Standalone app for macOS (Apple Silicon) — browse your library with Inbox, Archive, Starred, Tags, and Authors views; cached archives are readable offline.
• Sign in to sync with the same account as mobile, Chrome, web, and Obsidian. Or use it signed out as a local-only library (connect an Obsidian vault and receive Chrome extension clips, then upload to your account when you sign in).
• Can act as the local executor for AI Comments and transcription jobs.
• Bundled sa command-line tool — install it from Settings → Command line.
• Updates itself in the background.
