Linkano

Changelog

User-facing highlights · latest 1.8.1 (build 129)

Concise highlights for users. The full developer changelog lives in the Linkano repository (CHANGELOG.md).

1.8.1

Current line · build 129

Added

  • Orion browser active-tab capture (com.kagi.kagimacOS and RC bundle) via Apple Events.

1.8.0

Day One · builds 126–127

Added

  • Day One integration: capture journal entries after Share → Copy Entry URL (dayone://view?entryId=…), paste/open support (including legacy dayone2://), and reopen via Day One’s URL handler.

Changed

  • Day One capture can read the visible entry title from the open editor when Accessibility is granted (optional; link-only capture still works without it).

1.7.0

Graph tag clusters · builds 118–125

Added

  • Graph tag clusters: optional virtual #tag hub nodes when Tag clusters is on — one hub per tag shared by two or more visible links (no tag filter required).

Fixed

  • Tag clusters no longer require a tag filter first; hubs appear as soon as the toggle is on.

1.6.1

Current line · build 117

Maintenance release: version and build bump only; no user-facing feature changes from 1.6.0.

1.6.0

Builds 109–116

Added

  • Graph → Export Selection to PDF: ⌘-click multiple nodes, then export a PDF bundle (text, embedded images/Photos, locators for other types).
  • Apple Books integration: capture open books, recent library state, or pasted ibooks:// / store links.
  • Edit Tags… on saved links (Quick Panel ⌘↩, context menu, graph node menu).
  • Settings → Tags: rename, merge, or delete tags across your whole library (with counts per tag).
  • Graph edge filters: show relations only, all suggestions, or tag suggestions (#tag); canvas right-click menu and toolbar controls.
  • Open Source Acknowledgments in Settings → About (Sparkle MIT notice).

Changed

  • Graph legend distinguishes green context suggestions from purple #tag suggestions.
  • Graph and Quick Panel Copy / Copy as in context menus (URL, Markdown, Linkano link).
  • Contacts search runs off the main thread for a smoother Quick Panel.

Fixed

  • linkano-photos:// and other linkano-* locators from Safari open in Linkano (or jump to the target app when not in your library).
  • Graph PDF export: embedded images, locator layout, background progress, and readable text.
  • Graph multi-select for PDF export no longer pans the viewport on every ⌘-click.
