Your words won't get lost. They get saved.

Quick install

Testers

  1. Download hassala-2.0.1-testers.zip and extract it to a stable folder.
  2. Open chrome://extensions or brave://extensions.
  3. Enable Developer mode and click Load unpacked.
  4. Select the folder that contains manifest.json.
  5. From the same folder:
    • Linux/macOS: bash native/install.sh
    • Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File native\install.ps1 -ExtensionId <id>

Chrome Web Store

Use hassala-2.0.1.zip only. Full details are in docs/STORE-RELEASE.md.

Highlights

  • Baloo Bhaijaan 2 is bundled for Arabic and English across the UI.
  • Clearer toolbar icon (16/32) and a detailed icon for the store.
  • The default word bank file is created automatically on first save:
    ~/Documents/Hassala Words.md.
  • Hardened native host: .md files only, unusual paths rejected, and Markdown
    escaping.
  • The page UI now uses a closed Shadow DOM, and YouTube translation goes
    through an internal object instead of a DOM event.
  • Automatic migration of settings from the previous version.
  • A complete tester package so saving works without cloning the repository.
  • Full documentation: installation, privacy, security, architecture, and
    release.

Privacy

Note

Hassala is open source on GitHub, and anyone can download the package from the
releases page. The public Chrome Web Store release still requires a developer
account and review.
