Version 0.50
This version marks history. Emerald for Mac has oficially exited Alpha! There are lots of features and performance improvements to talk about.
NEW FEATURES:
- Tables are now Spaces. This update brings the Spaces selctor and the bottom and Tabbies now are near the Pinned Tabs, with a divider line.
- Emerald had only one AI feature, ChatGPT Search. It was fine, but what if there are more? Itroducing MyIntelligence! MyIntelligence is an AI that improves your internet life. These are its features:
- Renamer: Have your tabs automatically renamed with shorter titles when you Pin them.
- Organizer: Organize your Tabbies with sections and create a Folder of them easily.
- AI Sidebar: Ask questions to your preferred Al agent while visiting a webpage.
- ChatGPT Search: Search with ChatGPT easily with the search bar.
- All of these features can be disabled. To learn more, go to Emerald > Settings > MyIntelligence.
- The Search bar is now smarter, with big bugs fixed, Spaces switching and Space selection when changing Tabs from it.
- There's a brand new Emoji picker that has all the emojis with a search bar!
PERFORMANCE FIXES:
- Made the Sidebar 3x more efficient! For proof, I opened 15 tabs on 3 Spaces and it was running smoothly. The old one with 7 Tabs was laggier.
- Fixed a bug that wiped Spaces and Tabs when updated. If it still happens, DM me on Reddit.
- Fixed issues with iCloud Sync. If it still doesn't work, wait a few minutes to make sure all data is downloaded. There's also a Sync sction in Settings where you can see if something's going wrong. I'm going to also release a patch for iOS soon.
- Fixed some padding issues in Settings.
- LOTS of other bug fixes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- Emerald for Mac is now in PRE-BETA. I want to first fix some important bugs before switching to beta, just like it happened when I released Emerald for Mac to the public 3 months ago.
Thanks for using Emerald for Mac!
Version 0.35
This version is one of the biggest updates that I have launched, adding LOTS of requested features and improving stability.
NEW FEATURES:
- After a month of little testing and a week of finalizing them with Codex, Extensions are here! Not all extensions are compatible though, but there's a store with extensions that work in Emerald (extesnions that I have tested) with the direct ZIP download. To Access it, go into Settings > Extensions > Emerald Extension Store.
- You can now swipe to change between Tables, plus a theme changing effect when you scroll!
- Reader is here! You can now read articles without distractions and in dark mode!
- The Window background is a little bit more opaque.
- Added missing features to the non-liquid Glass version (macOS Sequoia)
PERFORMANCE FIXES:
- Made the Sidebar more efficient, specially when it has folders and they are opened.
- Unified Settings and fixed LOTS of performance bugs.
- Fixed issues with the Search Bar ang suggestions
- LOTS of other bug fixes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- Emerald for Mac now requires macOS Sequoia (15.0) or later. This change allowed me add Extenions and Table swiping.
- Emerald for Mac is leaving Alpha really soon! I haven't found any big issues in this version, but if you find big issues or bugs, report them to me before I switch to Beta.

Version 0.34.1

- Reengineered the sidebar once again to use the same efficiency as 0.34, but showing it as an overlay when closed so the web content doesn't get resized.
