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.

Obsidian plugin 4.1.6 strengthens reconciliation for posts already archived or deleted on the server, and makes local-only notes easier to identify and filter in the timeline.

• Reduced cases where posts already moved to Archived on the server stayed visible in the Obsidian Inbox after reloads or backfills.
• Server-deleted archives are reconciled more reliably even when local files use older source id shapes or have incomplete metadata.
• Added a Local-only quick filter and filter-panel option so you can review notes that do not match a server archive.
• Local-only posts now show a badge on timeline cards, making them easier to distinguish from server-synced items.
• The timeline index now stores local-only state, so filtering large vaults depends less on loading every full card first.

Obsidian plugin 4.1.5 fixes duplicated `@@` Instagram author handles in Markdown footers and clarifies the local authentication path for Naver Cafe archive flows.

• Instagram author handles stored with a leading `@` now render only once in Markdown footers.
• Instagram author links now point to clean profile URLs such as `https://instagram.com/patrickng`.
• Obsidian now marks the local-cookie authentication path more clearly for Naver Cafe archive and subscription requests.
• Cafe posts that may require login now guide you toward adding Naver cookies in plugin settings.

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.

Mobile 1.9.7 improves transcript reading in Reader mode, syncs Whisper transcripts more reliably, includes transcripts in AI comment analysis, and fixes synced-media rendering reliability.

• Reader mode can now show YouTube and Whisper transcripts alongside the archived media.
• Switch transcripts between readable paragraphs and timestamped segments, with seek support when media playback is available.
• Whisper transcripts generated on another device sync more reliably and are included in AI comment summaries and analysis.
• Reduced cases where synced images or videos failed to render because of localpath placeholders.
• Improved archive-state sync and background activity handling reliability.

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.

Mobile 1.9.6 improves feedback review flows, Naver Cafe WebView sign-in archiving, and the media gallery experience for long images and multi-image posts.

• Refined the feedback screen so submitted reports and replies are easier to review.
• Naver Cafe posts can now be archived after signing in through the in-app WebView.
• Long images are shown in full aspect ratio inside media cards, then can be opened in the fullscreen viewer for a closer look.
• The fullscreen media viewer now supports horizontal swiping between images, image panning while zoomed, pinch zoom, and swipe-down dismissal.
• Reduced cases where local images appeared black in the fullscreen gallery or left a loading indicator behind.

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.

Mobile 1.9.5 improves archive ordering so saved items appear in the correct order based on when they were actually archived.

• Archive lists now sort by actual archived time, with the newest items first.
• Search and filtered views keep the same ordering, so older items no longer jump above newly archived ones.
• Improved consistency between synced server data and the local archive list.

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.

Obsidian plugin 4.1.4 stabilizes timeline and archive list ordering so items follow their actual archived time.

• Timeline and archive views now sort by actual archived time.
• Filtered and searched views are less likely to place newly saved items below older archives.
• Aligned shared ordering logic with mobile, desktop, and web clients.

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.

• Open the original link from a failed card, or remove cards you no longer need.
• Added a setting to keep failed archive attempts for later review, synced with mobile and other clients.
• Web article bodies that contain horizontal rules are preserved as full Markdown instead of being mistaken for metadata footers.
• Subscription sync can now replace truncated web article notes with richer raw Markdown content.

Mobile 1.9.2 improves sharing archived posts to Threads with more reliable image attachments, while preparing mobile-to-desktop task handoff ahead of the Mac desktop app release.

• Added a flow for sharing archived posts to Threads. Long text can be split into connected posts.
• Improved image attachment, preview handling, and preserved-media thumbnails when sharing to Threads.
• Threads profile subscriptions are still in progress. Meta API approval is pending, so this may not work reliably for all accounts yet.
• Prepared mobile-to-desktop task handoff for the upcoming Mac desktop app, including AI comments, AI actions, and transcription workflows.
• Added date-range filtering for the archive list.
• Continued reliability improvements for Safari extension archiving, local media saving, Reddit, YouTube transcripts, Karakeep, and LinkedIn handling.

Chrome extension 1.6.7 makes Local Media Helper setup clearer on pages such as TikTok and Instagram Stories, while improving direct desktop-save flows and Helper update guidance.

• TikTok and Instagram Story/Highlight pages now show a small setup prompt when the Helper is not installed, enabled, or paired.

• Facebook mentions inside comment text are preserved as Markdown links on the visible mention text.
• Logged-out Clip to Obsidian from the Chrome extension keeps the same Facebook comment and mention parsing.
• Facebook Direct SSR now retries with the fallback UA when a public share link returns a short login shell or HTTP 400.

Plugin 4.1.0 receives bulk imports from the Chrome extension — Reddit saved posts, X bookmarks, and Instagram saved/your posts land as vault notes in one run, media included, with no account and no quota. It also includes several stability fixes.

• Posts collected in the Chrome extension save into your vault as notes via a single deep link — media included, and never touching the server, so they never use your monthly archive quota.
• Close Obsidian mid-import and it resumes on next launch. Run "Scan clip inbox" from the command palette to drain any pending batch anytime.
• Fixed bulk-delete hover contrast, per-device sync client identity, and LinkedIn local clipping.

Chrome extension 1.6.3 adds an "Obsidian vault" destination to Reddit saved, X bookmarks, and Instagram saved/your-posts imports. Whole collections save straight into your vault with no account and no quota.

• A new "Obsidian vault" destination in the destination dropdown sends Reddit, X, and Instagram bulk imports to your vault — works while logged out.
• Posts and media are written straight into your vault through the plugin, never touching the server, so they never use your archive quota.
• Rate-limit resilient: the posts collected so far are saved immediately, with the rest continuing once the limit clears.
• Requires Obsidian plugin 4.1.0 or later.

Mobile 1.9.0 adds an iOS Safari extension flow for archiving directly from Safari, plus reliability fixes for local media library saves, Reddit archiving, YouTube transcripts, Karakeep, and LinkedIn handling.

• Fixed YouTube transcript timing that could collapse caption timestamps.
• Improved Karakeep API key and server URL handling, LinkedIn local clipping, custom font rendering, and other stability details.

Chrome extension 1.6.2 adds YouTube to no-login "Clip to Obsidian" saves and preserves available automatic or manual transcripts in both vault-only clips and server-backed archive content. Local-only saves are kept clearly separate from server archive flows.

• YouTube watch, Shorts, live, and embed URLs are now recognized as local clip targets, so title, channel, description, thumbnail, and video metadata can be saved to Obsidian without signing in.
• Transcript capture now prefers the active tab session plus iOS InnerTube caption tracks, making previously empty transcripts such as Korean auto-captions much more reliable.
• Server-backed archive and sync paths also keep transcripts as a `## Transcript` section, including timestamp links and caption text when notes are opened later.
• Local-only saves remain separate from server archive, share-link creation, and Immich upload flows so vault-only storage is an explicit choice.

Chrome extension 1.6.1 adds a "Clip to Obsidian" option to the signed-in dropdown — save straight into your vault with no server and no quota. Naver Blog, Naver Cafe, and Kakao Brunch clipping arrive, and Bluesky/Mastodon clips now include reply threads.

• The signed-in main button dropdown gains "Clip to Obsidian" — a local-only clip that saves into your vault instead of the server archive, using no monthly archive quota.
• Clipping now covers X, Threads, Instagram (posts and stories), Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Substack notes, Naver Blog, Naver Cafe, Kakao Brunch, and ordinary web pages. This release adds the Naver and Brunch platforms, and Bluesky/Mastodon clips now include reply threads.

Chrome extension 1.6.0 tells Instagram's temporary request limits apart from a real logout, replacing the misleading "session expired" message with accurate wait guidance after large imports. Support bundles now also include export run history for faster diagnosis.

• When Instagram limits import requests while you are still signed in, the extension now says "your login is fine — wait a few hours" instead of "session expired".
• No more prompts to sign back in or restart the browser, preventing immediate retries that extend the limit.
• The pre-flight safety card recommends waiting and smaller batches for 24 hours after a temporary limit.
• Support bundles now include recent export run history, limit state, and usage info (account ids are masked).

This mobile update fixes a long-standing bug where text could randomly disappear in Reader mode, and lets you delete comments individually or pin your own comments.

• Fixed a bug where swiping through articles in Reader mode could make text disappear and affect other parts of the app.
• Delete comments individually, one at a time.

Chrome extension 1.5.7 adds date range support for Instagram My Posts imports, with a smaller default batch size, clearer input error handling, and better share-web upload recovery.

• My Posts imports can now use From/To dates to import only posts from a selected period.
• When Limit is set to No limit, discovery follows the date range and stops after older posts are reached.
• The default Limit is now 50 posts so first runs and test runs start more conservatively.
• Start export is blocked with a clear message when From/To dates are reversed or invalid.
• The My Posts popup layout and scrolling were fixed so date inputs are not covered by guidance cards.
• Interrupted share-web uploads now retry media repair for duplicate archives instead of leaving broken media in place.

Chrome extension 1.5.6 improves Immich Direct Uploads, duplicate detection, resume behavior, and progress visibility across Instagram Saved Posts, My Posts, and profile grid imports.

• The selected Instagram Import destination is now frozen when the run starts, fixing cases where the UI showed Immich but uploads went to the Web account.
• Immich uploads now use stronger ledger and checksum preflight handling, so previously uploaded media is skipped more reliably and upload history persists correctly from the offscreen context.
• Profile grid and large import flows are chunked more safely, with resume behavior that skips items already handled in the same run.
• A new Instagram Import Monitor side panel shows post-level uploads, duplicate skips, failures, and previous import history.
• Options can export a redacted Support Diagnostics bundle to make support requests easier to investigate.
• macOS Local Media Helper installation, update notices, and native pairing make high-quality Immich video upload setup easier.

This mobile update lets you long-press archived links to create connected archives, adds @ mentions in the note composer, and improves Reader export syncing.
