NODE 0.9.8 lets each trail keep its own tabs and finishes the sidebar. Thank you for testing.

NODE updates itself on Windows, and on a Mac from 0.9.6 on. Copies of 0.9.5 or earlier on a Mac need this version downloaded by hand once.

What's new

  • Each trail keeps its own tabs. A tab belongs to the trail you were on when you opened it. Switch trails (in the sidebar, the CommandBar, or Menu → Trail) and the tabs switch with it, back to the tab you had open there. The other trails' tabs stay open out of view and go to sleep after a while, as usual. Your current tabs join the trail you're on now.
  • Mosaic in the sidebar. With Mosaic on, the sidebar lists the tiles above your tabs. Click one to bring it forward.
  • Resize the sidebar. Drag its right edge to make it wider or narrower. Double-click the edge to go back to the usual width.
  • Tab counts for trails. The trail list and the CommandBar show how many tabs each trail has.

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-0.9.8-mac-arm64.dmg
Mac with an Intel processor NODE-0.9.8-mac-x64.dmg
Windows NODE-0.9.8-win-x64.exe
Linux NODE-0.9.8-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

If you have 0.9.6 or 0.9.7, NODE updates itself: when the update is ready it offers to restart. Otherwise:

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
  2. Drag NODE into the Applications folder, replacing the old one if you have it.
  3. Open NODE from Applications.

NODE is signed and checked by Apple, so it opens like any other app. Copies of 0.9.5 or earlier can't update themselves; download this version by hand once.

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

  • The first time NODE saves a password on a Mac, macOS may ask whether NODE can use its "Safe Storage" key in your keychain. Click Always Allow. If you are coming from 0.9.5 or earlier, it asks once more: click Always Allow again, or NODE can't read your saved passwords and API keys.
  • 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.
