Last Updated: 24/10/25 1:30 PM IST

I'm planning to publish Linkora on Google Play. As of now, I need at least 12 testers and this test will continue for at least 14 days, to make the app available globally, so, if you're interested, please send your email address via:

https://forms.gle/zjTuMa8VXPvHg7nz9

I'll contact you via email once a release is available for testing.

This preview must not be used for regular usage, as the implementation for remote sync isn't yet completed/partially implemented it's done, but there will be no server previews; a new version will be published soon. You must only test this locally without connecting to the server.

Builds released under this release may be updated at any time and may not match the build(s) of the current tag this release is published under.

Changes

• we do tags now [#12]
• internal improvements (a lot)
• improved grid link component
• improved menu sheet
• add support for searching & sorting folders during link addition
• add ability to expand and collapse tags section in AddANewLinkDialogBox (persisted)
• use bottom sheet for AddANewLinkDialogBox content instead of dialog box (on android-mobile)

Known issues

• Import fails with tags connected to different links than the source, i.e., Tags export works, but import doesn't. Fixed
• Tags do not follow the selected sorting order. Fixed
• Main FAB misbehaves, folder creation, editing, and multi-selection (for copy, moving, and deleting) don't work as expected (well, I'm refactoring the entire navigation code, so this is expected)FIXED
• Copying links with multi-action doesn't copy their associated tags (I didn't even implement this)FIXED

Note: Builds released under this release may be updated at any time and may not match the build(s) of the current tag this release is published under.

Changes

• Share one or multiple links at once #111

What's New

• Added option to select export and backup locations [#97]

  • Android: You must select the locations after installing this version, as the app has migrated to Storage Access Framework (SAF). There is no default location anymore; you must choose locations for exports and backups to work. The app will persist these locations with the necessary permissions, so you only need to select them once.
  • Desktop: The default location remains unchanged.

• Added option to auto-delete old backups after reaching a specified limit [#97]

  • Note: This works exclusively on existing backup files. Current files being backed up are not counted toward the limit.

• Snapshots moved to new location: Data > Snapshots.

Fixes

• Fix duplicate screen in back stack by @tuuhin in #103

• Exports & backups now use a new timestamp pattern to prevent file system conflicts. [#101]

New Contributors

• @tuuhin made their first contribution in #103

Internals

• refactored to a proper systematic manual DI 🦅🦅🦅

Full Changelog: release-v0.13.6...release-v0.13.7

Note: Builds released under this release may be updated at any time and may not match the build(s) of the current tag this release is published under.

Changes

• Updated timestamp format to prevent conflicts with the file system
• Added option to select export and backup locations
• Auto backup deletions

Known Issues

- Uri permission(s) isn't persisted, leading to export/backup failures Fixed: re-selection needed if chosen in previous builds, since older selection didn’t target persistence permission for the uri

What's New

• Certificate verification for sync-server can be bypassed (not recommended, but available if needed)
• Pull-to-refresh/swipe-down-to-refresh added in Android mobile when connected to the sync server
  • This is usually not needed because both app and sync-server support live updates, but if you want to force a reconnect to the server, this would be helpful
• Android app now supports edge-to-edge with transparent navigation bars
• Manual sync button added to desktop navigation rail
  • same functionality as pull-to-refresh/swipe-down-to-refresh on Android mobile
• Updated target SDK to 36

Fixes

• Fixed weird padding at the bottom of settings screens [#94]
• Fixed "+" button incorrect padding [#93]

Browser Extension: Save links directly from your browser (available on Firefox, local installation on Chromium-based browsers) - LinkoraApp/browser-extension

Full Changelog: release-v0.13.5...release-v0.13.6

THIS IS A PREVIEW RELEASE, DO NOT USE FOR REGULAR PURPOSES, ONLY FOR TESTING AND FEEDBACK. I REPEAT, DO NOT USE OR UPDATE FOR REGULAR PURPOSES.

Note: Builds released under this release may be updated at any time and may not match the build(s) of the current tag this release is published under.

Changes

• Added an option to bypass certificate checks to the sync-server
• Added swipe down to refresh on Android mobile, and an icon button on navigation rail on tablet/desktop to force restart syncing and connection

What's new

• Added support for HTTPS to connect with the sync server; websocket is forced to run on WSS, so you must always be connected to the sync server via HTTPS.
  • You also have to manually import the certificate (.cer) generated by the server to make sure the Linkora app trusts your server. This certificate is stored internally, so a one-time import is sufficient.
  • You can check back whenever you want after a successful connection to know if the certificate is valid or not from the server settings screen.
• Search now considers the URL to provide the results alongside the title and note.
• Added a setting to block saving the link if it already exists at the destination, enabled by default.

Fixes

• Main FAB is positioned based on the height of the bottom nav bar [#93]
• Mobile responsiveness does not recognise navigation bar at bottom [#98] (couldn't reproduce locally, so hopefully the possible fix that's applied should solve it)

Improvements

• Rename dialog on Android mobile now shows in a bottom sheet instead of a full-screen dialog box

Internals

Dropped markedAsImportant column in link table to directly validate link type based on linkType.

Full Changelog: release-v0.13.3...release-v0.13.5

If you run a sync server, you must update to this release as the previous version 0.13.2 hardcodes wss, which is not suitable for an HTTP-only setup. You can skip this version and usually use v0.13.2 if you use Linkora locally only.

• WebSocket scheme can be switched from the server configuration screen. By default, ws is used. Test the connection first. The 'Use This Connection' button will appear only when server availability is confirmed, and clicking it will save this new config.

Full Changelog: release-v0.13.2...release-v0.13.3

You need to be on the latest sync-server (0.0.5 at the time of writing this) to use this version without any issues.

What's New

• Added search bar in Panels to search for folders that can be added to the panel (#89)
• New logo (improved version, still based on the concept of the legacy logo)

Improvements

Internal

• Panel folder processing on homescreen has been improved and moved to ViewModel instead of direct passing from the respective composable

Fixes

• Default values will now be used if no values or empty values are found in the language packs
• Snapshots now get suspended temporarily if sync/import/deletion of the entire database takes place. A forced snapshot will be created after suspension is cleared
• Duplicate links now get filtered out (excluding those in the "All Links" section) (#61)
• Connection to socket will now be kept alive (as it should be) after initial sync
• Filters out duplicate suggested filters in "All Links" (#90)
• Filter out duplicate panel folders (I wasn't able to reproduce this locally, but added the filtering; hopefully, this should solve #79)

Full Changelog: release-v0.13.1...release-v0.13.2

You need to be on the latest sync-server (0.0.5 at the time of writing this) to use this version without any issues.

What's New

• Auto-snapshots (auto-backups) - Automatic backups of your data, available on both Android and desktop.
  • On Android, auto-exports will continue even if you close the app completely, but on desktop, no background processing takes place.
  • If any auto-export is in progress, you will see a circular progress bar in the navigation rail at the bottom (desktop/tablets).
  • If you see a disabled icon, it means no auto-export operation is happening, and you can safely close the app (desktop).
  • By default, auto-snapshots are disabled; you need to enable this from data settings.
• Added force shuffle as a link sorting option [#87]
• Option to hide host in list views [#86]
• Initial route selection support [#36]
• The home screen can now be disabled completely
• Option to hide or show notes in list views [#66]

Notes

This is an unplanned release, so some features (and improvements) that were supposed to be in this didn't end up making it. This was supposed to be 0.14.0, but here we are. The next release will take a while (probably August or later) because of some annoying college stuff.

Even though the reminders feature is workable, it's not finished, so no reminders in this release. You can manually build from the reminders branch (periodic notifications don't work accurately on all devices, so that's that).

Tags will also be available with the next release be included in 0.14.0.
