Release list
0.3.4
Fixed
- Device verification is now accepted by providers that enforce a strict identifier format, so subscriptions that require HWID checks can import and update reliably.
- macOS menu bar icon now stays visible against transparent and wallpaper-tinted menu bars.
- Latency results you can trust — testing a host's delay no longer shows a false "timeout" for a host that's actually working, so the number you see reflects the real connection.
- Manual local proxy access now works as a connection target: Flowvy can connect for apps you configure yourself even when System Proxy and TUN are off.
Improved
- Connections search can now close only the matching results, even when they are grouped by process.
- macOS: Flowvy can now stay in the menu bar without showing a Dock icon. Toggle it in Settings → Interface.
0.3.3
Fixed
- The tray menu no longer hides a connection option — when your subscription has a single group, the quick list now shows every option in it, including an automatic balancing one that could go missing before.
Improved
- Clearer automatic groups — options that spread traffic across your hosts on their own are now marked as automatic, so it's obvious there's nothing to pick by hand.
0.3.2
Fixed
- Auto-connect at startup no longer cuts off your internet — when Flowvy connects automatically at system startup in TUN mode, it now waits for the network and retries, and if a connection attempt fails it restores your internet automatically (no need to close the app or end processes to get back online).
0.3.1
Improved
- Tidier, keyboard-friendly menus — the theme, language and profile-setting menus are now consistently sized (no more oversized, half-empty boxes), and you can open them and choose options from the keyboard, including type-to-jump.
Fixed
- Changing the language now applies smoothly — switching your interface language no longer throws you back to the Profiles screen, and the tray popup switches to the new language too.
0.3.0
New
- Russian language — Flowvy is now available in Russian; pick your interface language in Settings → Interface. On first launch the app starts in your system language, and the Windows installer now appears in Russian on Russian systems.
- Profile rules at a glance — a new Profile rules tab lists every rule from your subscription (including rules from rule providers) with per-rule hit counts, and lets you switch individual rules off without editing the config; your choices survive reconnects and updates. Rule providers are also shown separately and can be refreshed on their own.
- Select and copy text where it matters — logs, the config editor, profile details, error messages and version info — with a native copy/paste menu.
- Diagnostics mode on the Logs page — record detailed logs while reproducing a problem and save them as a password-protected archive for support. The Logs page is also redesigned with search, stream pause and expand-all.
- Manual geo-database update on the About page — refresh location data on demand, even on restricted networks (it downloads through your active connection).
- Lock the local proxy to Flowvy — the local proxy port is now private to Flowvy by default, so other apps can't use it or read your IP through it; you can share it from Settings when you need to.
- Redesigned update notifications — a system notification when a new version is found, plus a full, scrollable release-notes view.
- Localized release notes — the in-app update window now shows the changelog in your interface language (English or Russian).
Improved
- Connections list is cleaner and adapts to the window size — columns stay readable at any width, the connection type (TCP/UDP) sits with the other details, the download, upload and time columns line up on the right, and the elapsed time is no longer cut off.
- Sort the Connections list — order processes alphabetically or by number of active connections, and sort by the number of proxy chains in use.
- Process icons show each app's real icon far more reliably — on Windows, macOS and Linux (including themed and SVG icons), on high-DPI displays, refreshing after an app updates, and no longer disappearing between sessions.
- Faster, more reliable first launch — geo databases now ship with the installer (and location detection is more accurate), the dark theme is used by default (switch any time in Settings), and the tray popup opens on your first connect after importing a subscription.
- Single-group subscriptions now list that group's servers directly in Rule mode, so you can pick a server in one tap.
- Clearer labels — "Unlimited" and "No expiry" are shown consistently instead of raw numbers, blank dashes or mislabels.
- Privacy — your browsing history is no longer written to the log file (it stays in the live Logs view only), and subscription links containing access tokens are masked in logs.
- Settings respond instantly — switches react to your click right away (with a spinner if the change takes a moment), and Connect stays disabled until System Proxy or TUN is on, so the app can't "connect" without routing traffic.
- Route Bypass page is easier to understand — ready-made presets and your own addresses are now separate groups.
- Broader CPU support — the bundled proxy engine now runs on older Windows and macOS processors (2008 and newer), fixing "illegal instruction" crashes on pre-2013 hardware.
- Smoother updates — you can install an update while connected (the connection closes automatically first), retry a failed install immediately, and the download progress bar is now visible.
Fixed
- macOS: a freshly downloaded build now opens cleanly on first launch, even offline — with no Gatekeeper security warning.
- TUN mode is more reliable — turning TUN off and connecting again no longer hangs on "Connecting", disconnecting shuts TUN down cleanly so the next connection starts, and updating the app no longer removes the helper service (TUN keeps working — you may be asked to reinstall the helper once when updating to this version, then never again). If the helper ever can't start, the app now repairs it automatically on the next connect.
- Windows TUN: connecting now works when the app was installed by a different administrator account, and on systems with a non-English display language.
- Updates: in-app updates now work on macOS; a new version is found automatically again (notification and About badge) instead of only after a manual check; and installing no longer hangs forever when the download can't reach the server — it stops with a clear "check your connection" message.
- Profiles: updates and config edits now apply everywhere (no more outdated groups and hosts while disconnected), switching hosts while disconnected is instant, "Last updated" no longer freezes at "just now", and opening or saving a profile no longer reloads the proxy engine when nothing changed — so active connections and rule hit counts are kept.
- Tray popup behaves correctly — it closes when it loses focus (only the pin keeps it open), no longer gets stuck on top, takes keyboard focus on macOS, and keyboard navigation no longer closes it.
- Smaller fixes — long tooltips no longer run off screen, the occasional "Failed to load profiles" message after launch now recovers on its own, the right-click menu shows just copy and paste, removing the app and choosing to delete its data now clears everything, and the helper service log no longer grows without limit.
Security
- Hardened the privileged component that powers TUN mode — stricter verification of the app and the configuration it runs, as a safeguard on shared and multi-user computers.
0.3.0-rc.4
- Updating the app no longer removes the helper service, so TUN mode keeps working without reinstalling it after every update — you may be asked to reinstall it once when updating to this version, then never again
0.3.0-rc.3
- The tray popup now shows your current IP again after connecting — it could previously come up blank
- Importing a subscription from its link now works on the Beta build — it could previously do nothing
- The "Service Logs" button now opens the Beta build's own service logs — it previously opened a stable Flowvy's folder (or nothing)
- Opening or saving a profile no longer needlessly reloads the proxy engine — active connections and the rule "Hits" counts are no longer reset when nothing changed
0.3.0-rc.2
- A profile's rule providers are now listed separately from its rules, and each one can be refreshed on its own
- Removing the app and choosing to delete its data now clears everything — previously the data folder could be left behind
- Removing the Beta build no longer affects a stable Flowvy installed on the same computer
- Process icons on the Connections page now show each app's real icon more reliably — on macOS apps no longer fall back to a generic placeholder, Linux now supports themed and SVG icons, and some icons that previously appeared blank now display
- Process icons now refresh automatically after an app is updated, instead of keeping the old one
0.3.0-rc.1
- Subscriptions with no device limit now clearly show "Unlimited" instead of a raw number or a blank dash
- "Unlimited" is now used consistently for uncapped traffic and device limits throughout the app
- Subscriptions that never expire now read "No expiry" everywhere — including the add-subscription preview, which previously mislabeled them as "Unlimited"
- After an app update, TUN mode now reliably uses the updated helper instead of one left over from the previous version
- macOS: a freshly downloaded build now opens cleanly on first launch, even offline — no Gatekeeper security warning
- Turning TUN off and connecting again no longer fails to start the proxy engine or gets stuck on "Connecting" — previously this could leave the app hung until you restarted it
- Disconnecting now shuts TUN down cleanly, so the next connection starts reliably
- If the proxy engine is ever slow to start, the app now reports the problem instead of hanging on "Connecting" indefinitely
- The local proxy port is now locked to Flowvy by default, so other apps on your PC can no longer use it — or read your IP through it. You can allow other apps to use it from Settings when you need to point them at it manually
- In the tray popup, when your subscription has only one group, Rule mode now lists that group's servers directly — so you can pick a server in one tap instead of opening the group first
- Flowvy now always starts in the dark theme instead of following your system's light/dark setting — switch to the light theme any time in Settings
- When you connect right after importing your first subscription, Flowvy now opens the tray popup so you can see where the proxy controls live
- Installing an update no longer gets stuck on an endless spinner when the download can't reach the server — it now stops with a clear "check your connection" message so you can connect and try again
0.3.0-beta.8
- Windows: connecting with TUN no longer fails with an access-denied error when the app was installed by a different administrator account (including the built-in Administrator) — any signed-in user can now start TUN mode
- Windows: fixed TUN mode failing to set up on systems with a non-English display language
- Security hardening for the privileged component that powers TUN mode — stricter verification of the app and the configuration it runs, as a safeguard on shared and multi-user computers
