Changelog

Added

• Date & time widget: a freely placeable board item with a device-local time and date
• Saved sessions: remove or restore individual tabs within a session
• Onboarding tour now ends with a closing step highlighting features it doesn’t otherwise cover

Changed

• Header creation button split into separate note and widget buttons; folder and bookmark creation merged into one popover

Fixed

• Sidebar order stays scoped to its own workspace instead of bleeding across workspaces
• Delete button no longer turns blue on hover
• Gallery notes sidebar now animates in when switching to gallery view
• Theme switch no longer briefly flashes mismatched colors
• Popover no longer misbehaves when its own row is deleted (sessions, tags, workspace pickers)

Added

• Gallery sidebar gets a Folders tab alongside Notes, plus a “jump to folder” search popover in the header

Fixed

• Custom accent colors that were too close to their background are now nudged for readable contrast

Changed

• Outline buttons now get an accent-colored hover/active treatment app-wide
• Web search button restored in the toolbar search input
• Manage button on the Pro status row restyled to match the rest of the Pro surface
• Note card checklist actions realigned and hidden while the item is focused

Fixed

Added

• Custom emoji icons for bookmarks, folders, and notes
• Notes: drag to reorder checklist items
• Notes: pasting a multi-line list into a checklist splits each line into its own item
• Notes: adding a note now prompts you to name it
• Columns: delete a column whose only remaining items are hidden
• Bookmarks: open a folder’s tabs as a named tab group instead of loose background tabs (Chrome/Edge)
• Backup: connecting a backup folder writes a snapshot immediately
• Backup: a “save a snapshot now” button on the connected backup folder row
• Settings: a Permissions section to grant or re-grant tab access you previously skipped or denied
• Changes made in one open tab now sync live to any other open tab

Changed

• Renaming a bookmark, folder, note, or workspace: pressing Enter now saves and closes the popup in one step
• A bookmark, folder, or note’s title/header can now start a drag, not just its handle
• Notes: checklist item delete button moved into a corner cluster, with tidied spacing
• Fewer permissions requested at install — tab access for “save open tabs” and “open all as a group” is now requested only when you use those features
• Assorted small UI/UX polish and fixes throughout the app

Added

• Tab sessions: save a workspace’s open browser tabs as a named set from the board toolbar, then restore them later as background tabs — sessions stay separate from your bookmarks and travel with export and import

Fixed

• Docked toolbar: a long row of pinned links now stays centered and scrolls, instead of running off the edge behind the toolbar buttons

Added

• Board toolbar: one bar for the workspaces switcher, pinned links, and quick access to Reminders, Trash, and Settings — place it floating, docked to the top, docked to the bottom, or off (Settings → Toolbar)
• Workspaces and pinned links can each move to the page header instead of the toolbar (Settings)
• Keyboard shortcuts: f to search, n for a new note, v to switch board/gallery
• “Move to folder…” in every item menu moves a bookmark or folder to any folder in one step, keyboard included
• Recently added and Most visited now support comments, reminders, pinning, “Open all”, search, and move-to-folder like any real folder
• Selection mode: pick multiple bookmarks and folders with a checkbox, click, shift-click, or drag, then tag, favorite, label, hide, remind, pin, move, or delete all of them from one action bar

Changed

• Escape in the gallery now steps up one folder at a time instead of jumping straight to the board

Fixed

• The new tab page could stay blank if a saved setting failed to load — it now falls back to defaults
• Custom accent tint slider is now styled correctly in Firefox
• Storage running low is now surfaced instead of silently dropping edits, and background images are capped to avoid filling your quota
• Several accessibility and keyboard-navigation fixes across drag-and-drop, folder moves, and menus
• Backup restore/import now reports bookmarks it couldn’t find, and fixes a timezone bug in backup dates

Added

• Trash: deleted bookmarks, folders, and notes are kept for 7 days (up to 20) in Settings → Trash, and restore to where they came from
• Automatic snapshots: Pikamark records its own layer — notes, tags, labels, columns, workspaces — in the background and before every import or history clear. Restore from Settings → Backup
• Backup folder on Chrome and Edge: connect a folder your cloud syncs and every snapshot is also written there, to a Pikamark sub-folder, as a dated per-device file
• Firefox: a monthly notice offers to save a copy to your device in one click
• Empty states now offer their action as a button — add a note, clear a filter or search, add the first bookmark
• The empty pinned-links pill suggests a bookmark to pin and points you to its Pin button

Changed

• “Sync with browser bookmark order” is now “Auto-arrange columns”
• On narrow windows the filter, create, and sort controls collapse into one toolbar menu
• Reminders can be set for a time of day, not just a date
• “Open all” now confirms before opening more than 15 tabs
• Import and restore preview the file first — workspaces, columns, notes, and the backup’s age — and end with a summary of what came back
• Manual exports are named pikamark-export-<device>-<date>.json; the device name is set from its row in the backup list
• On first load only the Bookmarks Bar starts expanded
• Wider minimum card width, so columns hold more before text wraps
• Recently added and Most visited in gallery now offer the same favorite, colour label, tags, and turn-off actions as any folder
• The gallery notes toggle now tracks the sidebar’s edge
• Shorter drag spring-load delay (800 ms) when hovering a folder to open it
• Other minor UI/UX tweaks

Added

• Pinned links: an opt-in pill at the bottom of the board holding up to 10 favicon-only shortcuts. Pin or unpin any bookmark from its “…” menu, then reorder or remove tiles in edit mode. Turn the pill on in Settings; pinned links are per-workspace
• Tips & tricks: a new Tips button in the Settings help row opens a short page of shortcuts and workarounds

Changed

• Export and import now carry every workspace — settings and notes — plus previously omitted preferences: font, surface style, custom accent colors, tooltip visibility, and sort order
• Import re-links labels, favorites, tags, notes, and board layout to bookmarks restored from an HTML export by matching URLs and folder paths, instead of dropping them when bookmark ids change; the import summary reports how many items were re-linked or dropped
• Ukrainian, German, French, and Spanish interface text rewritten in native, formal phrasing; UI strings no longer end in a period
• The Manual button now opens the website in your current language instead of a bundled in-app panel, so it keeps pace with new features

Added

• Paste text or drag links from another tab or app onto the board to create bookmarks. Links dropped on a folder land there; everything else goes to the Bookmarks Bar

Changed

• The “…” menu’s hide toggle moves to the bottom row beside Delete, and the Manage group now shows only when it has actions
• Color-filter swatches run flush to the popover edge, with a refreshed outline and selection style
• The collapsed folder-search magnifier in the gallery breadcrumb has its own tooltip and label, so it no longer reads as global search
• The tooltip-visibility toggle in settings uses an Info icon, and the search field animates open
• Hints for adding a bookmark now lead with the browser address-bar star, then paste and drag

Added

• Per-item comments: attach a free-text note to any bookmark, folder, or note from the “…” menu; it shows as a message indicator, with the full text in the tooltip
• Reminders: set a due date on any item from the “…” menu. When it falls due, a toast offers Show, Complete, or Snooze a day, and the item’s clock indicator pulses

Changed

• The “…” menu is reorganized into compact captioned icon groups (Remember, Labels, Arrange, Manage), roughly half its former height
• The open folder now has a full actions cluster in the gallery breadcrumb header — favorite, rename, delete, open-all, new folder/bookmark, and comment
• While collapsed, the notes sidebar’s toggle now rides in the gallery header, and collapsing removes the sidebar entirely instead of leaving a floating edge strip
• Checklist item delete buttons now reveal on hover instead of always showing

Changed

• Chrome, Edge, and Firefox now ship from a single unified build instead of a separate Firefox branch
• Panel titles, hovers, labels, and favicons use a slightly lighter font weight
• Refined popover width, breadcrumb hover color, and CTA spacing

Fixed

• Settings menu no longer shows an unwanted horizontal scrollbar in Firefox when the vertical one appears
• Firefox: a favicon that failed to load once no longer stays stuck on the initial-letter placeholder after it loads elsewhere
• Firefox: bookmarks on the same site no longer fetch and cache the same favicon independently

Added

• Per-folder inline search in board and gallery view, alongside global search
• A failed bookmark move now reports the failure and offers a retry, instead of failing silently

Fixed

• The board now shows a retryable error when the bookmark tree fails to load, instead of rendering nothing
• Moving a folder into itself or a descendant is now blocked instead of corrupting the tree
• Pressing Escape while composing text with an IME (e.g. Japanese/Chinese input) now cancels the composition instead of exiting the gallery
• Removed a redundant tooltip on the Add button and tightened its hint copy

Changed

• Hover/focus row actions are now tinted with the row’s tag color
• The favorite star and color-label indicators now show on gallery breadcrumbs, not just tiles
• Trimmed unused font fallback files, shrinking the package by ~200KB
• Empty-state action buttons now use the outline style for a consistent secondary-action look
• Popovers and lists share a custom scrollbar; fixed search-input padding around the clear button

Fixed

• Root-level bookmark cards now share folders’ background, elevation, and border
• A labeled root-level bookmark keeps its own color tint again
• The bottom-docked notes list no longer gets overlapped by the floating workspaces bar

Changed

• Updated in-app and site copy: Firefox and Edge are supported, not just Chrome

Changed

• Updated dependencies to their latest compatible versions

Added

• Named workspaces — an opt-in floating bar to create, switch, rename, and delete workspaces, each with its own theme, columns, notes, and labels while sharing the same bookmarks
• Search-the-web action in the toolbar search box — press Enter or click the globe icon to run your query in your browser’s default search engine
• The no-results empty state now offers that same search-the-web action
• The onboarding tour now switches into gallery view during its gallery step, so you see the feature in action

Changed

• Display toggles (recently-added/most-visited, tooltips, hide-empty-folders) are now one icon row in Settings, replacing the scattered header toggles and full-width rows
• Tooltip width is now capped
• Favicon placeholders for icons that fail to load, plus tidier popovers and menus

Added

• New Font setting — choose between JetBrains Mono, Google Sans, and Noto Serif for the whole app
• Gallery’s display mode is now two independent controls: layout (grid/list) and tile density (compact/extended), so density applies to list rows too
• Board view now shows the same active-filters row (search, color, tags) as gallery

Fixed

• Search-result grids now respect the compact/extended density setting
• Onboarding tour spotlight now aligns to the actual settings/folder-menu panel edges instead of floating with a gap, and no longer treats an open popover as a dismissed step

Added

• A small dot appears on the Settings button and version link after a new release, until you open Settings

Changed

• Reworked label and tag colors: one more added, list reordered and tweaked
• Buttons, checkboxes, and field borders inside a labeled item now follow that item’s own color instead of the global accent
• Item menu now uses direction-matched chevron icons for reorder/move instead of captioned arrows

Added

• Gallery view now has a list display mode alongside compact and extended tiles — full-width single-line rows

Changed

• Reworked the visual theme: default accent is now blue instead of indigo, label and tag colors are more saturated, folder tiles have a slightly larger corner radius, and hover/border tinting is more consistent across light and dark mode

Fixed

• Gallery folder-tile previews now size their grid to the tile’s real width, so wider tiles show more preview cells
• Tag chips and the tag filter picker’s active state now have enough contrast in light theme

Changed

• Blurred header, breadcrumb, and notes sidebar surfaces are more solid over a custom photo background

Fixed

• Gallery breadcrumb now shows which tag(s) are active when filtering by tag
• Reordering a note in the sidebar could drop it one slot off from where it was dragged

Added

• Gallery and board folder previews show item counts on hover
• Drag a gallery tile onto an ancestor breadcrumb to move it there without navigating

Changed

• Enlarged gallery preview cells with softer labels; extended tiles are now opt-in

Fixed

• Gallery header, breadcrumb, and notes sidebar stayed unreadable over custom photo backgrounds

Added

• Add columns right on the board — click the + on either side, or drag an item onto it
• Drag an item into the gap between two columns to insert a column there
• Delete empty columns with a button; the board now supports up to 7 columns
• Gallery folder tiles: an “extended” toggle adds a truncated title beneath each preview icon

Fixed

• “Other bookmarks” and “Mobile bookmarks” now behave like normal top-level folders — gallery, new folder/bookmark, and contents all work; only renaming and deleting stay unavailable, since Chrome rejects those
• Bookmarks and folders save to the right place even when Chrome’s bookmarks bar isn’t at the conventional id

Added

• Tags: create freeform, colored tags and attach them to bookmarks, folders, and notes; filter the board and gallery by tag, and search matches tags too
• Tags are included in backup/restore
• Pitch black theme: a higher-contrast dark mode, right on the mode toggle

Added

• App version in the support section, linking to the changelog

Changed

• Smoother drag reordering for boards and note lists with many bookmarks or notes
• Smoother folder highlighting while dragging in the classic bookmarks-tree view
• Internal cleanup: container/view splits for gallery and bookmark-tree components, shared SCSS custom properties, and deduplicated store/UI logic

Fixed

• Undo no longer reopens an item’s menu after a delete
• Turning off a note’s checklist hides it instead of deleting its items
• Deleting a note from the gallery sidebar now shows an Undo toast, matching every other delete
