Release v.1.8.4
The long awaited new features. Batch 01.
Redesigned Save Menu
- Checkbox-select which tabs to save
- All saving functions: Save(&close), Save as…, Move to…, Copy to…
- All organisational functions: Rename, Tag, Favourite, Sort, Search
- Fully accessible with Tabulator key
- Keyboard shortcuts for all functions
Introducing 2 new User Interface modes
| Index Tab (default) | New Tab | Toolbar only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Position | Inserts itself as the first pinned tab in every window | Inserts itself as the New Tab page | Enhances the Save Menu pop-up with core Tablerone features |
| Shortcut | Focused with Cmd+1 | Opened with Cmd+T | Opened with Cmd+Shift+. |
| Presence | Always visible | Visible only when open | Visible only when open |
| Best for | Most users. Optimised for point-and-click usage. It helps with window management and adopting the habit of saving entire sessions instead of individual links. | Users proficient with browser shortcuts. Using it feels a bit like the Portal video game where you open a wormhole to go some place else, which closes itself after you walk through. | Users who want minimal changes to their existing workflow. It helps with window management and supports all Save Menu shortcuts. |
Emojis
Sessions can now be branded with system emojis, or favicons from the session.
Bug-fixes & Improvements

Implemented a solution for the data loss bug where the browser wipes Tablerone database if the system is low on free hard drive space [pending testing in production]
- Fixed the bug where the Index Tab didn’t insert itself when dragging a tab out to create a new session
- Improved behaviour; clicking a link in other apps now opens it in a new session automatically
- Improved behaviour; all tabs in Save Menu are unselected by default if you turn off “Close tabs after saving” checkbox
- Disabled Speedy Loading feature by default (no effect on existing installations)
- Sunsetted the recurring donation prompt notification
- Polished UI and visual quirks
- Significant under the hood improvements (service worker as source of truth architecture, Zustand state management, automated tests, etc.)
