PolyRelate v2.4

LinkLayer is now PolyRelate. Renamed after finding an established company already using the LinkLayer name for embedded security/hardware. Everything moved: app name, icon, menu bar glyph, and URL scheme.

⚠️ Heads up if you're updating from an earlier version: your existing bookmarks won't carry over automatically — this app now stores its data under a new location on your Mac, by design (no silent migration). If you want your old bookmarks, ask for guidance rather than assuming they're lost — they're not. Every link you've already pasted into a note keeps working either way (see below).

New

  • New app icon and menu bar glyph — a triangle-graph symbol (three connected nodes) replacing the old chain-link, same coral bookmark shape as before
  • New URL scheme, polyrelate:// — every linklayer:// link you've already pasted into Obsidian or Apple Notes keeps working permanently, no action needed
  • Obsidian plugin now auto-installs and self-updates whenever a vault is set in Settings — no manual plugin install step
  • First-run Welcome window now offers to jump straight to Obsidian vault setup if Obsidian is detected on your Mac
  • DMG installer now shows step-by-step install/open instructions directly in the window

Fixed

  • Capture's "add a note" popup now correctly appears when the frontmost app is in native full-screen mode, on whichever display you're actually using
  • Obsidian Paste Link window/link-insertion flicker resolved
  • Diagnostic logging added around the Bookmarks browser's dropdown filters, to help chase down an intermittent unresponsive-dropdown report

Unchanged, on purpose

Your macOS permission grants (Accessibility, Automation) carry over with no re-approval needed — the app's underlying identity didn't change, only its name and appearance.
