NODE 0.9.2 (beta)

NODE 0.9.2 is about Mosaic: choose which tabs it shows, pinch to move between one tab and all of them, and loop part of a video. Thank you for testing.

If you already have NODE on Windows, it updates by itself. On a Mac, download the new version below and replace the old one in Applications.

When you first open 0.9.2, NODE offers a 2-minute tutorial for the new gestures and shortcuts. You can also start it from Menu → Help → Learn gestures and shortcuts.

What's new

• Choose which tabs Mosaic shows. Mosaic now shows up to 4 tabs. Right-click a tab and choose Show in Mosaic. To change the number, go to Settings → Tabs → Tiles in Mosaic (4, 6, 9 or every tab).
• See all your tabs at once. Press ⌘⇧\ (Ctrl+Shift+\ on Windows), or right-click the Mosaic button. Every tab shows as a picture. Click the ones you want in Mosaic, then Done.
• Pinch on the trackpad. On a page, pinch in to go to Mosaic, and pinch in again to see all your tabs. Pinch out on a tile to open it. Pinching out on a page still zooms it.
• Shortcuts. In Mosaic, ⌘1 to ⌘4 (Ctrl on Windows) open tile 1 to 4.
• Loop part of a video. Right-click a video, or use Capture → Loop Section: loop the next 30 seconds, minute or 5 minutes, or set your own start and end. ⌘⇧L loops the next minute and stops it again. The tab shows which part is looping; click it to stop.

Fixes

• Fewer junk keywords: logos, icons, keyboard-shortcut help, your own name from a site's menus, and ids from video addresses no longer show up.
• AI agents reading a page now get the links in "See also", "References" and "Categories" lists. These came through empty before.

Which file to download

Scroll down to Assets and download one file:

Your computer	Download
Mac with an Apple chip (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later)	NODE-0.9.2-mac-arm64.dmg
Mac with an Intel processor	NODE-0.9.2-mac-x64.dmg
Windows	NODE-0.9.2-win-x64.exe
Linux	NODE-0.9.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage

Not sure which Mac you have? Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and choose About This Mac. If the line "Chip" says Apple M1, M2, M3 or M4, download the Apple chip file. If it says "Processor" with Intel, download the Intel file.

You can ignore the other files, including Source code (zip) and Source code (tar.gz). They are for developers.

Installing on a Mac

1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
2. Drag NODE into the Applications folder.
3. Open NODE from Applications. macOS shows a message that it cannot check NODE. Click Done.
4. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down to the message about NODE and click Open Anyway. Confirm with your password or Touch ID.

This happens because the beta is not signed with Apple yet. You only need to do it once.

Updates on a Mac: until NODE is signed, it cannot update itself. When a new version comes out, download it from this page and drag it into Applications again, replacing the old one.

Installing on Windows

1. If your browser warns about the download, choose Keep.
2. Open the .exe file. If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
3. Follow the installer.

Windows copies of NODE check for updates and install them by themselves.

Installing on Linux

Download the .AppImage file, make it executable (right-click → Properties → Allow executing, or chmod +x), and open it.

Known limits in this beta

• Signing in to Google accounts opens in a separate Chrome-based window.
• On a Mac, passkeys (Touch ID / iCloud Keychain sign-in) are turned off; sites offer password sign-in instead.

Reporting a problem

In NODE's menu bar, choose Help → Report a Problem…. NODE copies its diagnostics and opens a short bug form on GitHub. Paste them where the form asks, with what you were doing when it went wrong.
