v0.6.0
May 15, 2026 · current · Managed Forgetting
- Forgetting Digest. New page surfaces saves untouched for 30/60/90/180/365 days. Per-save actions: Keep (refresh the "last touched" timestamp), Move to trash, or Skip. Stats bar shows progress. Helps you prune stale saves in batches.
- Soft delete (trash bin). Delete no longer permanent. Trashed items show a 30-day countdown, with one-click restore. Auto-purges after 30 days. Confirm dialog now reads "Move to trash" instead of "Delete forever."
- Trash tab in library. New right-aligned tab shows trashed items with restore + permanent-delete icons. Lives alongside Saves / Sessions / Decisions.
- Last-accessed tracking. Records now know when they were last opened or edited. Used by the Digest to identify what's actually stale (vs just old by creation date).
- Popup card for Forgetting Digest. ⌛ icon in popup, between Library and Settings, for quick access.
v0.5.0
May 15, 2026 · Tags + Model picker
- Tags. Add tags to any save with chip-style input, comma or Enter to add, autocomplete from your own tag history. Tags display on every save in the library; click a chip to filter. Tag filter row appears above results with top tags by frequency. Inline edit on hover.
- Model picker. Choose Claude Sonnet 4.6 (balanced), Haiku 4.5 (cheapest), or Opus 4.7 (most capable) for Anthropic. Choose GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4o, or GPT-4.1 for OpenAI. Each option shows cost-per-million-tokens.
- Ask sources upgrade. Clicking a citation in Ask now opens the original URL in a new tab. Small "View in library" link beside the hostname for when you want to see your notes.
- Voice status pills. NO MIC for missing audio device, MIC BLOCKED for permission denied, BROWSER N/A for unsupported browsers — distinct visual feedback for each case.
- Storage migration. Anthropic and OpenAI models now save separately, so switching providers preserves your model preference per provider.
v0.4.1
May 15, 2026 · hotfix
- Updated Anthropic model reference from
claude-sonnet-4(retired April 20, 2026) toclaude-sonnet-4-6. Ask now works correctly for users with Anthropic API keys.
v0.4.0
May 15, 2026 · Pro launches
- Imports · Bring your saved links across from Pocket, Raindrop, Notion, or browser bookmarks. Mindlatch dedupes by URL, strips tracking params on the way in, and writes everything as proper saves with the "why" field ready for you to backfill.
- Voice capture · A microphone button next to the textarea in the save dialog. Click it, talk your note, watch it transcribe in real time. Uses browser-native Web Speech API — no cost, no audio leaves your machine, works in Chrome/Edge/Safari (not Firefox).
- Ask your library · A chat-style page that answers natural-language questions about everything you've saved. Uses your own AI key (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI GPT) — Mindlatch never sees the key, the question, or the answer. Answers cite specific saves with inline numbers linking back to the library.
- Settings page · Manage your license key, AI provider, and API keys. All stored locally.
- Pro launches at $5/month. Honor-system license — any non-empty key unlocks. We chose this over DRM because pirates won't pay anyway and supporters like to support. The Free tier stays genuinely free, forever.
- Library, popup, and all internal pages now share a consistent top-nav.
v0.3.4
May 15, 2026
- Removed shortcut labels from popup cards. The keyboard combos still work if you bind them at
chrome://extensions/shortcuts, but they're no longer advertised on the cards — too many Mac users were hitting Chrome shortcut conflicts that made the labels lie.
v0.3.3
May 15, 2026
- Liberate is now actually total. Every non-pinned tab closes — including the active one and chrome:// pages. The library opens as a new landing tab so the window has somewhere to go. This matches the tagline.
- Popup count shows "Save N, close M" when those numbers differ.
v0.3.2
May 15, 2026
- Liberate uses the same tab filter in the popup and the service worker — what you see in the count is what gets saved.
- The popup hands the exact tab list to the background, eliminating race conditions.
pendingUrlused as a fallback for tabs that haven't finished loading.
v0.3.1
May 15, 2026
- Highlight count badge on collapsed save rows. Glance, don't expand.
- Edit every Decision Log field after the fact — Choice, Why, What-would-change-my-mind.

- Bug fix: editing a decision's title now updates the question field.
v0.3.0
May 14, 2026 · Phase 2
