ShortPath v1.0.0
ShortPath 1.0
This is the first stable release of ShortPath — a local-first desktop tool for support agents that consolidates saved replies, documentation, SOPs, quick-launch tools, and team sync into one fast, searchable surface.
What's in 1.0
Core search and browsing
- Instant keyword and full-text search across all entries at once, grouped by category
- Vertical (category) filter tabs, sub-folder navigation, and a collapse-all toggle
- Pinned entries always visible at the top; favorites view for starred items
- Recents section showing the last entries you copied
- Entry preview card on hover — see body text without opening the entry
Entry management
- Add, edit, and delete entries with a quick-add form (under 10 seconds)
- Rich text editor with Bold, Italic, Underline, lists, code blocks, and hyperlinks
- Plain or HTML copy mode per entry
- Paste-and-split: paste a multi-section document and ShortPath splits it into individual entries on headings
- Add from clipboard — one action from copied text to saved entry
- Usage counter and copy-based sorting
Import and export
- CSV import with drag-and-drop, column mapping for non-standard files, duplicate detection, and import preview
- CSV export: all entries, selected entries, or local-only entries
- URL import: fetch a page and pick which sections to save
- Markdown and PDF drag-in import
- Browser extension for Chrome and Firefox — right-click to save any selection or page
Team sync
- Point ShortPath at a shared CSV in Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive and it stays in sync automatically
- Multiple sync sources supported simultaneously
- Local entries are never touched by sync — ever
- Duplicate detection: after a manual Refresh, ShortPath flags synced entries that share a title and category with your local entries
- Export mine: send your personal entries to the team admin to fold into the shared file
Support Tools
- Dedicated grid section for quick-launch links — admin panels, dashboards, forms
- Reorderable, pinnable, and starrable like any other entry
Appearance and customization
- Light and dark mode; 6 accent color presets
- Small, Medium, and Large window size presets; opacity slider; density toggle
