v2.11.0
2026-07-24- Make a folder the way you'd expect — drag one bookmark onto another, give it a name, and both land inside. Drop a bookmark onto a folder tile to file it there
- Your folders now sit as tiles at the top of your bookmarks, each showing a glimpse of what's inside — click one to open it
- Previews stopped lying — small logos and icons are no longer stretched into a blur, and they now render at their own size instead
- More sites get a real preview image, and site icons are sharper
- Grab the headline ticker and drag it — flick to fly through the news, let go and it drifts again
v2.10.0
2026-07-14- For You — a feed that ranks your headlines by what you actually read, and tells you why it picked each one. Opening an item teaches it; dismissing one stops it coming back (self-host)
- Large libraries can be encrypted again — vaults past roughly a thousand bookmarks hit an internal limit and quietly stopped syncing
- Firefox works — the extension previously failed to start there at all
- Switching to Encrypted mode now clears everything readable from the server, not just your open tabs
- Bookmarks that aren't ordinary web links (files, bookmarklets) are no longer lost when a second device syncs
v2.9.0
2026-07-02- Command Center — a hand-arranged pin board at /board: drag bookmarks into folders and an order you choose, every drag autosaves
- Encrypted-mode boards, zero-knowledge — unlock with your sync passphrase and the board decrypts in your browser, rides inside your encrypted vault, and re-encrypts on every change; the server never sees a bookmark, a folder name, or your passphrase
- No third-party favicon lookups on the encrypted board — icons render locally so not even a favicon service learns your hostnames
- Extension v2.9.0 preserves your board and trash across syncs — update it before using the encrypted board (older extensions pause syncing, safely, until updated)
- Vault conflict-safety hardened — concurrent pushes from two devices can no longer overwrite each other
v2.8.2
2026-06-30- Privacy hardening — closed the remaining ways open-tab titles and URLs could reach the server in Encrypted mode (the 'Save as Folders' button and a stale-mode edge case). The server now refuses plaintext tab and bookmark data for zero-knowledge accounts as a backstop
- Switching to Encrypted mode now clears any open-tab records that were synced earlier in Full Access mode
- Your encrypted bookmark vault is now protected from a rare empty browser read at startup that could have overwritten it
- New in-popup 'Re-enter passphrase' recovery — a second browser can resume encrypted sync by typing your passphrase, no full disconnect needed
v2.8.1
2026-06-29- Rediscover is smarter on self-host — it surfaces forgotten bookmarks related to what you've been reading lately
- New 'Local brain' setup guide in Help, linked from Settings and onboarding
- Cover-image card view for bookmarks — toggle between list and cards in the toolbar
v2.8.0
2026-06-29- Privacy, made true — tab sync is now disabled in Encrypted mode (open tabs can't be end-to-end encrypted), and your encryption passphrase is stored on your device only, never cloud-synced
- The local-brain moat is now on the landing page — meaning-search and resurfacing you run on your own hardware
- Firefox new-tab page opens your dashboard instead of the marketing page
- The retired PayPal webhook can no longer email payment confirmations for a free product
- Added Claude 4.8 Opus to the AI model picker
v2.7.8
2026-06-29- This changelog now shows the full release history — it had been stuck at v2.3.0
- The in-app version badge and settings footer now read the real version automatically, so they can't drift
v2.7.7
2026-06-29- Source-available — relicensed under the Business Source License 1.1
- Free, for real — Terms, Privacy, and pricing pages corrected: no trial, no subscription, no PayPal
v2.7.6
2026-06-29- Semantic search — find bookmarks by meaning, not just keywords, powered by your own local brain (self-hosted)
- A 'Smart' badge shows when results came back semantic; keyword search is the automatic fallback
- Build the search index from Settings; new bookmarks are embedded automatically
v2.7.5
2026-06-29- Dashboard widget toggles are live — show or hide Weather, RSS Ticker, Preview Panel, AI Organize, Bar Editor, and Profile Switcher
- Safe migration — your dashboard looks the same; the switches just respond now
v2.7.4
2026-06-29- Dedup-at-save — quick-add catches a page you already saved even when the URL isn't byte-identical, with an 'Already saved' toast and an Open button
v2.7.3
2026-06-29- Focus Timer and Notes now live in the dashboard right rail, each independently toggleable
- Rediscover gained an on/off toggle
v2.7.0
2026-06-29- Rediscover — a dashboard widget that resurfaces useful bookmarks you've forgotten (clicked before, untouched for 30+ days)
- Local Brain (Bowl) foundation — opt-in, read back from your own on-device brain; off by default, never leaves your machine
v2.6.0
2026-06-29- Feed your local brain — opt-in, the extension can mirror each sync into your own local brain so your browsing shows up in the Bowl (local-only)
v2.5.0
2026-06-29- TabbJam is now free — full access to everything, no credit card, no subscription, no tiers
