Changelog

Notes from each Just the Links release.

1.0.3

CHANGED

  • The app runs without a subscription. One account, manual refresh, opening links, filters, and reader mode stay free
  • Paid controls stay visible and open the subscription sheet: a second account, Read Later, translation, Ask, archive.is, auto-refresh, like, and repost
  • Launch no longer shows a hard paywall. After onboarding you add the first account and enter the app
  • On Mac, Auto-refresh is a Premium button until you subscribe

NEW

  • Extra accounts stop updating when a subscription lapses, appear grayed out under a Premium header, and a Subscribe button opens the sheet
  • Without a subscription the feed shows 10 links, then a card with the held-back count and a Subscribe to Premium button
  • A thin Safari-style progress bar appears under the reader address row while pages load

IMPROVED

  • iPad hardware keyboard matches Mac: arrows, Shift-Command-R, left arrow back to the list, and one-row list movement
  • Holding an arrow in the reader keeps a steady scroll step instead of shrinking after the first jump
  • The iPad tab pill no longer covers the reader URL bar, and the empty band under it is gone
  • The feed list fades slightly when the reader has focus on iPad, without breaking touch

FIXED

  • Mac Subscribe uses the paywall window so purchases finish, unlock Premium, and dismiss the sheet
  • A verified purchase unlocks immediately even before App Store entitlements catch up

1.0.2

September 16, 2026

NEW

  • Keyboard navigation highlights one feed row at a time; Return or Right Arrow opens the link
  • Command-Up and Command-Down jump to the start or end of the list; Command-Comma opens Settings
  • J and K move the list; O opens; C copies the link with a Link Copied notice
  • Command-1 through 4 switch Feed, Read Later, Accounts, and Settings
  • Title-bar double-click over the list jumps to the top instead of zooming the window
  • Keep scroll position when refreshing is on by default and can be turned off in Settings
  • Read state fades a link after it is opened (locally only); Mark as Unread is in the context menu
  • Reader focus on Mac moves keys into the article; Left Arrow returns to the list
  • List search filters Feed and Read Later with Command-F
  • On Mastodon / On Bluesky opens the original post in the system browser
  • Start page shows the wordmark and shortcuts when no article is open
  • Reader zoom uses Command-Shift-Plus/Minus, pinch, and Command-0
  • Command-R refreshes the feed or reloads the page based on focus
  • Read Later export copies bookmarks to Pinboard, linkding, Readwise, or Instapaper

CHANGED

  • Unused list keys do nothing instead of jumping the highlight

IMPROVED

  • Selected-row highlight is a lighter wash so text stays readable
  • Refresh merges new posts with the cache so already-loaded links survive relaunch

1.0.1

September 13, 2026

IMPROVED

  • Feed shows a Reposted confirmation and red repost errors instead of failing silently
  • Mastodon Repost now uses the local status id instead of the ActivityPub URI, so the boost request actually succeeds
  • Mac Dock icon appears when running from Xcode, using the system-masked app icon instead of a generic tile
