Added
Ten animated backgrounds: Wave, Waves, Swell, Constellation, Grid, Bubbles, Leaves, Maple, Snow and Rain. Find them first in the new Animated tab under Settings → Design → Background.
Tint and appearance. Pick one of six tints or any custom color and the whole background recolors to match. Choose System, Dark or Light; System follows your device and switches with it.
Public boards show these backgrounds too, animated in the visitor's browser with the tint you chose.
Named edit keys. Create keys for people or groups, then copy, rename, replace or revoke each independently. Other keys keep working. Several people can use one key; names are labels, not accounts. Viewers and collaborators still join free.
Recovery for pending shared edits. Changes and unfinished board-editing text are saved on your device for recovery after a reload or interruption. Recovered work needs review before sending. Recovery drafts are removed after a confirmed save or explicit discard, while newer pending work is kept.
Changed
One Sharing window under Settings → Spaces brings together Share codes, Public links and Live boards. Create from a selected workspace, import an independent copy, or join a connected board.
Copy stays easy to find. Share codes have a visible Copy code button; expiry extension is secondary, and more actions are available from the menu.
Existing edit keys appear as Shared key and keep working. Owners choose Open shared board when they want to join the connected team tab; creating a key no longer switches them into it.
Fixed
Firefox starts shared-board recovery and loads edit keys correctly. Browser API compatibility also fixes task settings, bookmark detection and background tab operations.
Moved groups keep their chosen position when collaborators receive the board or reload it, including empty space above the first group.
Revoked editing access preserves pending work for recovery, export or explicit discard.
A save whose response was lost can be retried after a restart without creating another revision. Saving an older change keeps any newer pending edits.
Separate tabs keep independent recovery drafts. Local recovery failures show a warning and block sending until local storage works again.
Pending changes survive a board password change and can be saved with the new password after access is checked and any conflict is reviewed.
Sharing dialogs remain closable during slow requests, and failed board lists offer a retry instead of getting stuck loading.
Missing or incorrect board passwords show clear prompts and return focus to the password field.
Public boards handle malformed items without blanking the whole page, with tighter checks on shared content.

Fixed
Retrying a save no longer creates duplicates. When a dropped confirmation made an add look failed and you tried again, the retry now recognizes the identical link already in place and reports success instead of adding a twin.
The saved-link check now looks in the right place. The after-idle verification checks the exact group you picked, so an old copy of the same URL saved elsewhere can no longer mask a failed save, and a brief re-check covers the moment a save is still being written.
Protected workspaces are no longer offered when saving a link from a web page. Picking one could silently send the link to the default workspace instead; the spotlight workspace picker now lists only writable workspaces.
Closing a tab from the ribbon now handles failures. A tab that could not be closed reappears on the ribbon instead of staying hidden while still open, and closing the current tab proceeds cleanly even on pages where the confirmation dialog cannot be shown.

Fixed
Notes and Tasks buttons now align with the search bar on first launch. On a fresh install they briefly sat in the top row instead of beside the web-search bar until the bar was toggled off and on; both now default to the same enabled state as the bar itself.
Notes and Tasks buttons no longer disappear when the web-search bar is turned off. With the bar off they moved into the top shortcuts row, which is hidden on an empty workspace — taking the buttons with it. They are now anchored independently so they stay visible in every layout.

Firefox support — ReadyTab now runs on Firefox 115+ with the same features as Chrome: workspaces, spotlight, Notes & Tasks, cloud sync, themes, and the desktop companion. Get it from the download button on readytab.cloud.
Firefox companion — dedicated one-folder installer packages for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Folder, file, and script launchers open their windows in the foreground, working around Firefox's stricter native-host process handling on Windows.
Tab Ribbon layout options — choose a top or left orientation for the spotlight open-tabs ribbon and optionally group tabs by domain.
Overlay on Other Pages settings section — control the spotlight overlay on regular websites from its own settings block.
Changed
Adding links goes through spotlight — the "Add to Start Page" context menu now opens spotlight's Add Link tab instead of the old dialog.
Tab Ribbon is opt-in — enable it in the new split Tab Ribbon settings; matching tabs are highlighted while you search.
Fixed
The cloud-sync diff now includes Notes and Tasks — reviewing a push, pull, or version restore lists changed notes and task lists per workspace (with task-count deltas), instead of claiming "no differences" when only off-grid content changed. Protected workspaces show an opaque "changed" row; snapshots from before the feature no longer read as deletions.
The sync diff dialog is fully translated in all 10 languages, and the language picker no longer shows a raw language_auto key as its first option.
Spotlight saved-link results — the drop indicator and the add-to-group button work correctly again.
Companion (Windows) — folder launchers now open paths containing spaces correctly, and installer-written manifests are BOM-free so Firefox accepts them.

ReadyTab turns your new tab into a personal dashboard: organize links, notes, and tasks in flexible workspaces, launch apps and routines, search everything with Spotlight, and sync or share boards — all customizable with themes.
