Ember

Release notes

Same notes the in-app updater shows, in one place.

0.2.0 8 September 2026

New

  • The workbench can be arranged. Reorder the drawer's groups, or hide the ones you never use. A hidden group is still captured and still searchable — this is about what the drawer puts in front of you.
  • Ember notices a copied credential. A token from a terminal, a key from a dashboard, a password out of a note: nothing marks those as secret, so Ember reads the string and offers to forget it on a countdown. It tells you what it saw — a GitHub key, a session token, a private key — rather than just "this looks secret", and it never deletes anything on its own. A password manager marks its own payload concealed, and Ember doesn't read that at all.

One mark, one wordmark

  • The name is set the same way everywhere now — lowercase ember, in the app, in the workbench and on the website. The mark is a lowercase e with a dot, so the word sets the same letterform twice and reads as a continuation of the icon rather than a caption under it.
  • The app icon is composed from that glyph rather than resized from a finished picture, and the same drawing is the menu bar glyph and the favicon.
  • The header runs burgundy through red and ember to sun, and the workbench bar runs the same range.

Fixed

  • The sidebar no longer slides off the left edge when you narrow the window.
  • The dashboard fits the narrowest window Ember allows. A quick action, and the palette rows' colour counts and dates, were being cut off the right edge.
  • The Workbench title fits on a 13" screen.
  • Opening settings no longer shoves the rest of the sidebar around, and the menu bar popover is back.
