SimplexityAI v5.2.0
Perplexity keeps Discover, Finance, Personal CFO, Health, Academic and Patents behind the ☰ menu in the top-right corner. You can now promote any of them into its left sidebar.
Added
Choose what appears in Perplexity's sidebar
Settings → Show in Perplexity's sidebar lists the six destinations. Tick the ones you use and they appear in Perplexity's own left sidebar, one click away instead of two. Untick to remove them.
Nothing is added unless you ask for it — leave everything unticked and Perplexity looks exactly as it does today. Changes apply immediately, without restarting.
Fixed
Nag-screen removal was silently broken
The code that hides Perplexity's promotional overlays has never actually run. One of its CSS selectors was malformed, and because the failure happened inside a page-load handler with no error handling, it aborted the whole script — including the watcher that was meant to keep applying it. Every selector after the broken one was dead.
The selector is fixed, and each one is now isolated so a single bad entry can't take the rest down with it. If you have been seeing overlays that were supposed to be hidden, that is why.
Known limitations
- macOS and Windows builds are not code-signed. Gatekeeper and SmartScreen will warn on first launch; on macOS, right-click the app and choose Open the first time.
- The sidebar shortcuts depend on Perplexity's own page structure. If they redesign it, the shortcuts may stop appearing until this is updated — they are added defensively, so a mismatch means nothing appears rather than anything breaking.
