Kyurations · Release log
What’s new
A running log of what we’ve shipped, newest first. Each note is a real change to the way you keep the things worth keeping.
August 2026
2026.08- Fixed
X posts now show their text on cards and in detail
Tweets appear in full on their cards and when you open the detail view, so you see what was actually posted instead of just the photo or an empty card.
X - Fixed
Deleted lists no longer linger on public pages
When you delete a list, it now disappears from public views right away instead of staying visible for up to thirty minutes.
Lists - Fixed
Mobile navigation bar now sits at the bottom
The bottom bar on mobile phones now appears where it should instead of being pushed to the side.
Extension - Fixed
Navigation no longer duplicates when signed in
Signed in, you were seeing two navigations at once. Now you see only the one you expect, with your account menu and chat history.
Account - Improved
Confirm before removing a card from a list
Remove a card from a list now asks first, so you won't accidentally unfiled the thing you're reading with a stray click or keystroke.
Lists - Fixed
Transcript panel stays open
Opening a video's transcript no longer closes the panel unexpectedly a couple seconds later.
Transcripts - Fixed
Song titles stay intact when you save them
Saving a YouTube music video now keeps the full artist and track name instead of cutting it short at the first dash.
YouTube - Fixed
Gist icon no longer clips on cards
The summary glyph now displays properly on all card types, not just videos.
cards - Fixed
Kyuri stops answering your notes as questions
When you saved a note to ask Kyuri about, it used to treat your note as a question and answer it. Now it just continues where you left off, so fragments stay fragments and stray thoughts don't get unsolicited replies.
Kyuri - Fixed
Card summaries close instantly when you leave
The summary panel that appears when you hover over a card glyph now closes the moment your cursor leaves, so it does not linger and get in the way.
cards - Fixed
Gist panel opens instantly on hover
The gist panel now opens the moment you hover over it, instead of waiting for a brief delay that made it feel unresponsive.
cards - Fixed
Opening a card from a list no longer deletes the item
When you open a card from inside a list, removing it now takes it out of that list only and keeps it in your Bower, instead of deleting it entirely. The minus key works the same way.
Lists - Fixed
YouTube video cards now show the channel's real picture
Video cards display the channel avatar instead of a placeholder monogram.
YouTube - Fixed
Note dialog no longer shows a needless scrollbar
The note panel was laying out its content wrong and showing a scrollbar that had nowhere to scroll. That's gone now.
Bower - Fixed
Note editor now stays visible and reachable
The note editor dialog was stretching edge to edge and hiding its buttons off screen. It now sits properly within your viewport so you can always see and tap save.
Bower - Improved
Saving a note no longer makes you wait
A note is captured the instant you finish typing it. Tags and filing happen in the background, so the save dialog closes right away.
Bower - Improved
Smart list placement learns from what you save and skip
When you file an item into a list by hand or skip one, the placer remembers. Next time it suggests where to put similar items, it gets smarter about what you actually want.
Lists - Improved
Notes now support rich formatting
Write notes with headings, lists, quotes, code blocks, color, alignment, links, and images. Pick from thousands of Google Fonts at any size.
Bower - New
Import bookmarks from any file format
Upload a bookmarks file, CSV, JSON export, or plain list of links and land your whole library at once, organized into drafts by folder, without triggering an AI call.
Bower - Improved
Accept or reject Kyuri's filing without opening the item
When Kyuri suggests where to file a save, keep it or discard it right there on the card, no need to open it.
Kyuri - Fixed
Lists now keep the right items
Items no longer drift into lists they don't belong in, so your organized collections stay organized.
Lists - Fixed
Auto-organize now files items into the right lists
Auto-organize was leaving most items unfiled and creating empty lists. Fixed how it reads each item so it understands what it is, not just its notes, and made tags that match a list name actually help items land there.
Lists - New
Read view for lists
Switch a list to Read view and move through entries one by one, seeing titles, summaries, and highlights all at once instead of behind clicks.
Lists - Fixed
Right-click save no longer opens a popup window
Save to Kyurations from the context menu now captures instantly, matching the behavior of the extension icon.
Extension - New
Public page for mailing lists
Your lists that mail themselves now have their own public page, so people can find and subscribe to them without digging through guides.
Sharing - Improved
Bookmarks sync twice as often, costs less
Your X bookmarks now arrive every half hour instead of every hour, and the sync runs lean enough that checking twice as often costs you nothing extra.
X - Fixed
How-to steps now show on the page
A how-to you save now displays its steps, not just a title and description.
Bower - Fixed
Highlights now anchor reliably when you save them
Highlights you capture in the browser now stay in place when you read them back, instead of drifting or needing repair.
Extension - Fixed
Highlights across paragraph breaks now show in the reader
When you highlighted text that crossed a paragraph break in the extension, the reader would say those words weren't in the saved text, even though they were. That's fixed.
Extension - Fixed
Stop flood of error messages when clicking a highlight
Clicking a highlight that the reader could not place used to fill your screen with repeated error toasts. Now you see it once.
Extension - New
Play shared lists as reels
A list somebody shared with you now plays as reels, the same way your own lists do.
Lists - New
Play saved reels full screen
Open a set of saved reels full screen to swipe through them one after another, with the next one already loaded and ready.
Instagram - Fixed
X sync no longer skips bookmarks
When a sync run stopped early due to hitting its cap or budget, it would incorrectly mark bookmarks as imported and skip them next time. Now it only moves the cursor when it completes a full pass, so no bookmarks get buried.
X - Fixed
PDF zoom buttons now work
The minus and plus buttons in the reader now zoom a PDF in or out, stepping through four sizes with the default filling your column so nothing shifts.
Files - Fixed
PDFs open without getting stuck reloading
A PDF now loads once and stays put instead of restarting its download and parse on every render.
Files - Fixed
Reels no longer turn into articles with comment threads as content
Refreshing a reel used to transform it into an article card filled with the comment thread instead of the actual video content. That's fixed.
Cards - Fixed
Transcripts now show up in the modal
A stored transcript will now display in the modal and refresh to fetch a fresh one when needed.
Transcripts - Improved
Reels without captions now capture what's said
A reel with no caption now gets transcribed, so you see what it's actually about instead of just a generic title and cover image.
Instagram - New
Notes anchored to words in PDFs and transcripts
Tap a highlight or mark to write a note right there in the margin, see which ones carry notes by their pin, and watch them stay in place as the text reflows.
Transcripts - New
Visit Kyuri at its own front door
Kyuri now has a public page so you can find and share it directly, and discover it's the quickest way to ask questions across everything you've saved.
Kyuri - New
Export your library in four formats
Take your lists or your whole account out as Markdown for vaults, CSV for spreadsheets, Netscape bookmarks for browsers, or JSON for moving to another app.
Sharing - Fixed
Highlight text on your phone
Select a passage on mobile and the highlight menu appears right away, so you can save and annotate what matters.
Transcripts - Fixed
Card layout on mobile now fits without overflow
Cards on phones no longer cram their top bar so tight that controls spill off screen or become unreachable.
cards - Fixed
App icon no longer cuts off on your home screen
The Kyurations icon now fits properly in the safe zone that Android and iOS use when displaying installed apps, so nothing gets clipped.
Account - Fixed
Highlight text in articles without the note panel interfering
The note panel was closing mid-selection when you tried to highlight text in an article, breaking your ability to select anything. Now it stays out of the way until you're done.
Extension - Fixed
Marks paint instantly in the color you pick
Highlight text and your mark appears right away in the color you chose, not after a network delay or with the wrong color.
Bower - Fixed
Highlights now appear and stay clickable
Captures that span multiple paragraphs now highlight correctly in the reader and stay clickable in the panel.
Extension - Fixed
Save to the Wall without picking a list
Capture a link straight to your Wall from the extension without having to choose a list first.
Extension - Fixed
Lists stay open to new saves
Hand-built lists now accept new items even if an earlier save doesn't quite fit the theme, so your lists keep growing instead of getting stuck.
Lists - Fixed
Quotes anchor reliably even when formatting shifts
When you save a quote from an article, Kyuri now finds it accurately even if the text's bold, italic, or link formatting differs from what the page shows.
Kyuri - Fixed
Reader tells you when a highlight won't show
If a stored highlight can't be placed in an article, the reader now says so right above the text instead of silently disappearing.
Transcripts - Fixed
Highlights in the reader now paint correctly
A highlight you make inside the reader displays the same way as a saved one, no more mismatches.
Cards - Fixed
Highlights now stick when you save them
Highlights in transcripts and articles now stay put instead of disappearing the moment you press Highlight.
Transcripts - Fixed
Highlights show up right away in the reader
Make a mark in the reader and it appears instantly, and you can jump to it without waiting for a refresh.
Transcripts - Fixed
Highlights in the reader now stick and respond to clicks
Saved highlights now stay in place when you revisit them, and clicking one actually jumps you there instead of doing nothing.
Transcripts - Fixed
Stop articles from filing into wrong lists
Saves now match lists by actual topic, not just shared tags, so an essay about India's economy won't land in your travel list anymore.
Lists - Improved
Reading view clears the page, filters get sharper corners
The Bower's reading view now strips away distractions, and filter buttons wear proper squircles instead of clunky rounded rectangles, making them crisp across the whole product.
Bower - Fixed
Feedback replies now speak as the team
When you send feedback, the acknowledgment email and admin notice now come from the team rather than a single person, keeping the voice consistent and warm.
Account - Improved
Quotes are now the control in the reader panel
Hover over a quote to jump to it or open the full page, and your notes sit right above the marks where you'll see them first.
Bower - Fixed
Top bar no longer splits or loses buttons when you move between items
The card reader now shares one unified top bar instead of drawing it twice, so the position counter and full screen button stay put and the seam between them never breaks.
Cards - Improved
Drag the edge to resize your reading view
The divider between reading and working is now a control: drag it to give the panel more or less room, or click it to collapse the panel entirely.
Bower - Improved
Articles open straight to reading
When you save an article, it now opens into the text right away instead of showing a cover image first. The full read is there without an extra click.
cards - Fixed
Smooth scrolling in the reader
Reading in the article viewer no longer stutters as you scroll, and progress marks land exactly where they should.
Reader
July 2026
2026.07- New
Highlight text in PDFs
PDFs now render as real text you can select and highlight, instead of locked images inside a viewer you cannot touch.
Files - Improved
Kyuri sees what you underline
When you highlight text in an item, Kyuri now reads those exact passages instead of guessing what matters to you.
Kyuri - New
Highlight and save passages while reading
Select a sentence in the reader and save it as a highlight. It syncs with your extension highlights, shows up in your Ledger the same way, and links back to the exact spot on the original page.
Reader - Fixed
Refresh from source now captures articles properly
Refreshing an article no longer loses its title, summary, and body text mid-capture.
Bower - Fixed
Images now show up in saved articles
Images that disappeared when you saved an article are back.
Transcripts - Improved
Reading takes the full card
When you open an article to read, it now stretches across the whole card so text stays readable at a comfortable width. Click once to bring back your list on the side.
Bower - Improved
Opening an article loads faster
The reader now fetches article content only when you open it, so your Bower stays snappy even with dozens of saved pieces.
Bower - Improved
Articles from Substack and Medium now show their full, real formatting
When you save a Substack or Medium post, it now arrives with the publisher's own layout and images intact, not our best guess at where the article starts and ends.
Bower - Improved
Saved articles keep their full structure and images
When you save an article, you now get the real readable HTML with images intact, not just a flattened text summary.
Bower - Improved
List cards you can scan instead of read
A list card now leads with one picture and one title, the curator's handle sits at the top of the cover, and the facts run along a single line underneath. The stacked badges and colour bands are gone, so a grid of collections reads at a glance.
Lists - Improved
Discover opens on the collections
The page names itself in one line beside its explanation instead of stacking a full screen of introduction above the grid, and the longer blurb tucks behind an i for the one time you want it.
Discovery - Improved
One place to browse other people's collections
Explore folds into Discover, and the subject pages move with it. Old links redirect, so anything you or a search engine already saved still lands in the right place.
Discovery - Improved
The offer sits beside the sample on a list for sale
The price and buy button ride a sticky rail next to the free items instead of waiting below the grid, and the price reads on its own rather than only inside a button. The empty frosted panel that stood in for the locked items is gone.
Sharing - Improved
First-run screens open on what you get
Empty screens used to report what was missing. Each one now leads with the payoff and says what happens next: what a save comes back as, how lists form on their own, what buying a list gets you.
Bower - Improved
Tabs become a segmented control
Filters sit in a compact pill group only as wide as its own options, instead of an underline dragging a full-width rule between you and the grid it filters. The way out of a shared list moves up to the same line.
Dashboard - Improved
Signing a draft is a single act again
The identity mark is retired, so signing no longer stops to ask you to pick one first, and the marks are off list headers and shared cards.
Bower - Improved
Earnings moves into the account menu
Earnings is account business, so it hangs off your avatar menu just under Settings rather than sitting in the rail with your library.
Account - Fixed
A stray scrollbar beside every tab row
Tab rows across the app were drawing a thin vertical scrollbar at their right edge over a single pixel of overflow. Gone everywhere, including Earnings, Payouts and Shared.
Dashboard - New
Sell your lists
Price a list and sell access to it. Buyers get permanent read-only access to what they paid for, updates reach them live, and you earn 70% of each sale. Link your bank account in settings, set a price, and your list appears on Discover alongside free ones.
Sharing - New
See what lists a curator sells on their profile
A curator's profile now shows the lists they're selling, so you can browse their shop without leaving their page.
Sharing - Fixed
Settings page now loads
The settings page was crashing on load. It's back.
Account - Fixed
Paywall and settings pages no longer go blank
A missing tooltip setup was crashing the settings page and would have blanked your paid list's sales page too.
Account - Fixed
Payout status now shows what actually happened
The interface claimed to verify your payout destination, but nothing was actually checking it. Now it reads Saved until money lands there, then Verified, so the label matches reality.
Account - Improved
Published collections now show summaries to search engines
A shared collection page now displays each item's summary where search engines and link previews can read it, instead of hiding it in invisible metadata.
Sharing - Fixed
Removed broken source links from a published collection
Two links that looked reachable but pointed to wrong topics are gone.
Sharing - Fixed
Lists stop grabbing unrelated saves
A list no longer claims new items just because they share a single tag with something already inside, and item counts now match what you see on screen.
Lists - Fixed
Opening a link now opens a tab, not a window
Clicking to open a saved item opens it in a new tab instead of spawning a separate browser window.
Bower - Fixed
Stop navigation from flickering when you switch pages
The nav rail was being rebuilt each time you moved to a new page, causing a flash. Now it stays put while your content changes.
Bower - Improved
Start a new chat right from the thread
The New chat button now lives at the top of Kyuri itself instead of hiding in the navigation, so you can start fresh without hunting for it.
Kyuri - Fixed
Chat thread no longer blanks when answer arrives
Kyuri's response now stays on screen the moment it lands, instead of flashing blank.
Kyuri - Fixed
Lists now accept items that belong in them
Fixed a bug where items couldn't join lists even when they matched perfectly with list members. Your saves now group into lists correctly.
Lists - Fixed
Cards no longer jump when they load
Skeletons now match the actual card layout, so there's no visual shift the moment content arrives.
Bower - Fixed
Exit button on shared lists
Opening a list now has a back button that returns you to where you came from, keeping your scroll position and filters intact.
Lists - Improved
See when a save is still being enriched
A card now shows it is still reading and enriching for a few seconds after you save, so you know the empty look is temporary, not a broken capture.
Bower - Fixed
Keep full transcripts, no more cutoffs
Transcripts longer than thirteen minutes were being truncated mid-sentence and discarded. Now you get the whole thing, and you can copy it out whenever you need.
Transcripts - New
Reading view for focused browsing
Switch to a clean, distraction-free view of your saved items when you need to focus on the content itself, not the clutter of cards and metadata.
Bower - Fixed
Reading card now has visible edges
Reading cards in your Bower now have their borders and shadows back, so they read as clear objects instead of loose text floating in the wall.
Bower - New
Make a list right where you move things
When you move or duplicate a save, the picker can spin up a brand new list on the spot, named from what you typed, so you never break stride to create one first.
Lists - Improved
Watch the save happen
The extension now shows the grab in progress instead of sitting silent until it finishes, so you always know it is working.
Extension - New
Keyboard shortcuts across the app
A full keyboard layer: single-key jumps, g-chords to move between surfaces, and a command palette that searches your whole library, each tuned to your platform.
Keyboard - New
A saved playlist becomes a course
Save a YouTube playlist and it arrives as one course with its full syllabus to work through, not a scattered pile of separate videos.
YouTube - New
X bookmarks keep themselves in sync
Once you connect X, your bookmarks sync on their own every hour, so new ones turn up without you lifting a finger.
X - Improved
Whole X threads, summarized
Save any post in a thread and the summary now reads the entire thread, not just the single post you grabbed.
X - New
Refresh a single save from its source
Re-pull the title, summary, and image for any one item straight from where it came from, for when something changed or came in thin.
Bower - Improved
Full-screen detail, and playlists framed for what they are
Open any save full screen, and a playlist is framed as a course, album, or collection instead of a generic list.
Bower - Improved
Saves feel instant
A save answers the moment it is recorded and does its reading and enrichment in the background, so capturing never makes you wait.
Bower - Fixed
YouTube transcripts come through reliably
Caption fetching now takes a route YouTube stops blocking, so transcripts land instead of quietly failing.
Transcripts - Fixed
Shared lists no longer look empty to the recipient
A list you sent someone could render blank for them. It now shows its items to exactly the people it was shared with.
Sharing - Improved
Open any item on a shared list
On a public list, tap a save to open its full detail in place, instead of only jumping out to the source.
Sharing - Fixed
The extension can get permission to run
The save pill could fail to obtain the host permission it needs on some pages. It now asks for and gets access, so saving works everywhere.
Extension - New
Ask Kyuri to do things, not just answer
Kyuri can now act on your library from the chat: create a list, add or remove items, tag, save a link, or delete. Each change comes as a card you confirm first, and every one can be undone in a tap.
Kyuri - New
Connect your library to Claude and other AI tools
A new connector (MCP) lets you plug your Bower into Claude and other compatible apps so they can search and act on what you have saved. Set it up from Settings or the new /mcp page.
Connections - New
Highlight and clip any saved page
Select text to highlight it, or clip a region of a page. Your marks live on that page's card and re-anchor to the right spot when you open it again.
Annotations - New
Share a list privately with specific people
Send a collection to chosen @handles or email addresses. They get access without the link being public, and a pending invite is claimed automatically when they sign up.
Sharing - New
Subscribe to a list and get a digest
Follow any public list and receive a periodic email digest of its newest items, composed in the curator's voice. Curators see a Live badge and per-list subscriber counts.
Live lists - Improved
Kyuri understands your lists
Ask what is in a list or how many items it holds and Kyuri answers from real membership, so list questions are correct instead of guessed.
Kyuri - Improved
Kyuri conversations have their own pages
Chats now live at their own /kyuri links, so you can return to a conversation or share a link to it directly.
Kyuri - Improved
A livelier Bower
Your Bower opens in a fresh shuffled order with a riffle-shuffle animation and a Shuffle control, so older saves resurface instead of sinking to the bottom.
Bower - Improved
Shared pages are easier to find
Public collections and profiles now carry the structure search engines and AI assistants need to discover and cite them.
Discovery - Fixed
Extension sign-in link fixed
The browser extension's sign-in link pointed at a missing page. It now opens the correct connect flow.
Extension - Improved
Kyuri, with a point of view
Kyuri answers as a bowerbird curator now, with grounded opinions and a curator's aside, while still never inventing anything beyond what you have saved.
Kyuri - Improved
Kyuri opens with prompts from your library
Start a chat and Kyuri greets you with tappable prompts drawn from what you have actually saved, plus a gentle nudge toward things worth revisiting.
Kyuri - Improved
Add existing saves into a list
Inside a list, the add button now searches your existing Bower so you can curate from what you already have, not just create something new.
Lists - New
How Kyurations sorts, explained
A public write-up of the ranking behind your Bower, so you can see exactly how a save gets read, summarized, tagged, and placed into the right list.
Algorithm - New
Refresh the AI details on your saves
A self-serve action re-runs titles, summaries, and tags across your own items, reusing stored text so nothing has to be fetched again.
Bower - Improved
One switch to share
Sharing a collection is now a single on and off toggle beside the link, so publishing or taking something private is one deliberate tap with no hidden state.
Sharing - Improved
Lists re-tidy themselves
Re-organizing a grab-bag list now evicts the off-topic members back to the Wall and regroups the rest, so a list stays about one thing.
Lists - Improved
Refresh control and a fuller tag filter
A manual refresh button, and a tag filter that expands to show the whole set instead of a truncated few.
Dashboard - New
Sync your X bookmarks
Connect X once and your bookmarks flow into the Bower, each one read and catalogued so they stop rotting in a list you never reopen.
X - New
Organize into lists on demand
An Organize button clusters your saves into coherent, named lists whenever you want, on top of the lists that form on their own.
Lists - Improved
Tags stay consistent
New tags reconcile against the vocabulary you already use, and near-duplicate variants fold into a single family instead of splintering.
Tags - Improved
A calmer detail view
Opening a save is quieter and clearer: media leads when it helps, and text-led items get a warm, uncluttered page of their own instead of an empty image frame.
Bower - Improved
No accidental duplicates
Saving the same link twice now updates the item you already have instead of littering your Bower with copies.
Bower - New
Tell the maker directly
A feedback panel in your account menu sends a note straight to the person building Kyurations, and you get a real reply back.
Feedback - New
Hand a chat to ChatGPT or Claude
Carry a Kyuri conversation over to ChatGPT or Claude in one step, with your links and their context coming along so you never re-explain yourself.
Kyuri - Improved
One sign-in, two ways
Google and email sign-in now live behind a single, cleaner popup, so getting in is one clear choice rather than two scattered ones.
Sign-in - New
Ask Kyuri, rebuilt
Kyuri answers in a live stream drawn straight from your Bower, citing the exact items it leaned on, so every answer traces back to something you actually saved.
Kyuri - New
Reels and posts play inline
Video saves play right inside the card and the detail view, so you can watch without being bounced back out to the app it came from.
Bower - New
Read PDFs and hear audio in place
PDFs open to read and audio plays without leaving Kyurations, so a saved document or clip is genuinely usable, not just filed away.
Files - New
Save straight from Instagram DMs
Send any post or reel to Kyurations as a direct message and it saves itself, permalink and all, with no copy and paste.
Instagram - New
Save files of any kind
Drop in PDFs, images, documents, and voice notes as first-class saves, each one read and described by Kyuri so it stays findable later.
Files - New
Extension live in the Chrome Web Store
The Kyurations browser extension is published, so one click saves whatever you are looking at, from any site, without leaving the page.
Extension - Improved
Edits that feel instant
Renaming, moving, and deleting now update the moment you act instead of waiting on a round trip, so tidying your Bower never stutters.
Bower - New
YouTube transcripts, fetched cleanly
Captions are pulled through your own browser session, so a long video becomes searchable text that Kyuri can read and reason over.
Transcripts - New
Make your profile yours
Set a photo and claim a handle in Settings, so the collections you share carry your name instead of a stranger's placeholder.
Account - Improved
Built for your phone
The whole app reflows to a phone, with a bottom tab bar and touch-sized controls, so you can capture and browse just as easily on the go.
Mobile
June 2026
2026.06- New
Kyurations launches
Capture anything worth keeping and it sorts itself into a living, searchable Bower. This is the founding idea the whole product is built on.
Kyurations - New
Save from anywhere in one click
The browser extension arrives, putting a link, article, video, or image one click from your Bower wherever you happen to find it.
Extension - New
Ask across your library
Ask a question and get an answer sourced from your own saves, with the items it drew on cited right underneath.
Kyuri - New
Cards that stay true to the source
Every save renders as a card that mimics its native platform, so a tweet still reads like a tweet and a video still reads like a video.
Bower - New
Publish a collection
Share any collection through a public or password protected page, so a Bower can stay private or go out to the world on your terms.
Sharing - New
Passwordless sign-in
Sign in with a magic link. There is no password to invent, store, or forget.
Sign-in - Improved
A warm editorial redesign
The interface settled into its voice: a calm, paper-like system in gold, cream, and ink that treats your saves like a catalog worth keeping.
Design
