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
