Changelog
What's new in 01ST
Every release, newest first. 01ST updates itself, so you usually have the latest already. Current version: 1.0.37.
-
New start animation
- New A new start animation: "hello" writes itself onto the island, then a hand waves at you.
- Improved The island opens a bit taller and narrower when 01ST starts.
-
Helper updates itself
- Fixed After an update, the Open button helper is replaced by the new version automatically instead of keeping the old one running.
-
Open button fix
- Fixed The Open button that stays after you quit 01ST now sits next to the clock, so it is no longer hidden when the menu bar is full.
-
Icon stays after quit
- New When you quit 01ST, an Open button stays in the menu bar. One click starts 01ST again. Right-click it to remove the button.
- New New setting: Settings → Window → Keep icon after quit.
-
No Dock icon
- Improved 01ST no longer shows up in the Dock or the app switcher. It lives in the notch and the menu bar. Quit it from the menu bar button (right-click → Quit 01ST).
-
Closes after dragging out
- Fixed After you drop a Moodboard picture into another app, the island folds back into the notch instead of staying open.
-
No more pause after dragging out
- Fixed After dragging a Moodboard picture into a design app, 01ST no longer freezes for a few seconds. It now offers the file only, like the Finder, instead of converting the picture into several formats.
-
The drop tile stays out of your way
- Fixed Dragging inside Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, Sketch, Affinity and other design, photo and video apps no longer opens the drop tile.
- Fixed Dragging browser tabs no longer opens the drop tile.
- Improved The tile now appears when a picture or link is dragged into the upper part of the screen, towards the notch, instead of as soon as any drag starts.
-
Dragging into Illustrator
- Fixed Moodboard pictures dragged into Illustrator now arrive. 01ST now drags them the way the Finder drags files, which is the kind of drag Adobe apps accept. Photoshop, Figma and the Finder work the same way.
- Improved The first drag of a large picture starts without a pause: its file is prepared while you hover over it.
-
A finished welcome tour
- New The welcome tour now also lets you choose how tabs look (icon and text, icon only, text only) and whether 01ST opens when you sign in.
- New Settings → Window has an "Open at login" switch.
- Improved The "Make it yours" step has room for all choices, and Skip keeps everything as it was.
-
Tabs: icon, text or both
- New Choose how tabs look: icon and text, icon only, or text only. Switch it in Settings → Behavior → Tabs or by right-clicking any tab.
- Improved Tabs show their name as a tooltip when you pick icon only.
-
Inspo is now Moodboard
- Improved Inspo has a new name: Moodboard. The tab, the Library, the welcome tour and the drop texts all say Moodboard now.
- Improved Your groups keep their pictures. A group called "Inspo 1" becomes "Moodboard 1"; names you chose yourself stay as they are.
- Improved Pictures you drag out of the app are named Moodboard-….png.
-
14 new web apps
- New Design: Behance, Coolors, Mobbin and Savee.
- New Productivity: Todoist, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Keep and DeepL.
- New AI: Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Midjourney.
- New Social: LinkedIn.
-
Library and Settings, restyled
- Improved The Library uses the same cards as the welcome tour: tools in two columns, apps in four, with a check mark on what is in your bar.
- Improved Settings cards follow the same look, with clearer titles and softer fills.
- Fixed Library and Settings always open at the top.
-
A welcome tour
- New A short welcome tour on first launch: pick your tools and web apps, choose hover or click, and connect Apple Calendar.
- New Run it again any time from Settings → Help & legal → Welcome tour.
-
Opens right when you hover
- Fixed The island now opens the moment the cursor reaches the notch. Before, it sometimes waited for one more mouse movement.
- Fixed Hover opening also works reliably when the island sits on a second display.
-
Docs and changelog in the app
- New Docs and Changelog are linked in Settings (now called Help & legal) and in the menu bar menu as Docs and What's New.
-
Dragging out works again
- Fixed Dragging a Moodboard image into Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma or any other app now lands. The island no longer blocks the drop.
-
Drag images out as files
- New Moodboard images leave 01ST as real PNG files, so design tools and Finder accept them.
- Improved The island stays open while you drag an image out and closes when you let go.
-
Bigger tile, precise drops
- Improved The drop tile is larger and easier to hit.
- Fixed Items are only saved when you release them on the tile. Letting go anywhere else does nothing.
-
Drop tile size
- Improved Drop tile 20% larger.
-
Small drop tile, for real
- Fixed The drop tile opens at its small size instead of expanding the whole island.
- Improved Steadier drag detection: the tile no longer flickers.
-
Centered tile
- Improved Drop tile content is centered in the free strip below the notch.
-
Smaller drop tile
- Improved A smaller, cleaner drop tile.
-
Everything you drag lands
- New Drop anything into your Moodboard: images, links, files and text, from any app.
- New Links from Pinterest, Instagram and other sites turn into the real picture. If a site hides it, you get its preview image or a link card.
- Improved The drop tile opens for any drag from another app, not only images.
-
The drop tile
- New A small drop tile opens under the notch as soon as you start dragging, so you never have to reach the top edge of the screen.
- Fixed Dropping while a web app is open now switches to the Moodboard, so the new image is visible.
-
Drops over web apps
- Fixed Dropping onto the island works even with web apps running behind it.
-
More reliable image loading
- Improved Dropped images load more reliably from Instagram, Pinterest and other websites.
- Improved A larger drop area on the island.
-
Stable drop area
- Fixed The drop area no longer disappears while you move the cursor.
-
Opens when you start dragging
- New The island opens as soon as you start dragging an image.
-
Drag towards the notch
- New Dragging an image toward the notch opens the island early, so macOS Mission Control stays out of the way.
-
Tabs, your way
- Improved Click anywhere on a tab to open it, not only on its icon or label.
- New A + button at the end of the tabs opens the Library to add more.
- New Right-click a tab to remove it.
- Improved The Hide/Show button in the menu bar starts further right, away from the notch.
-
Updates inside 01ST
- Improved Update messages appear inside 01ST in its own style instead of in separate windows that could hide behind it.
-
Mouse wheel scrolling
- New A classic mouse wheel now scrolls the tab bar, the clipboard cards and the Moodboard sideways.
-
Calmer sign-ins
- Fixed Signing in with a passkey in web apps no longer shows a broken prompt. Sites offer the password sign-in instead.
- Improved The update check shows what it is doing and reports errors.
- Removed Password saving inside the window was removed again.
-
Saved logins
- New Save and fill passwords inside the window. (Removed in 1.0.3.)
-
Sign-in help
- New Sign-in help on Google and Apple pages in web apps. (Removed later.)
-
