Changelog

What changed in version 3.

The download queue was rebuilt. Everything else carried forward.

v3.0.1 Latest 13 Oct 2026 Download

The download page moved to a new host, so the update button inside the app points at the new address.

Everything else is identical to 3.0.0.

v3.0.0 13 Oct 2026 Download

Cancel, pause and resume now work. They used to report success even when nothing happened, so a stuck download looked exactly like a working one.

A download you are busy with cannot be overwritten by a stale update mid-click.

Cancelling one download no longer deletes another’s partial files.

Deleting only ever removes files inside your library folders.

The header is now two buttons, and the update prompt only appears when there is genuinely an update.

Downloads

Every version.

Each row downloads that exact version, not the newest one.

Loading versions…

Older builds are on the releases page. Upgrading keeps your library and your locked folders.
