  • The desktop app is here. Record audio notes (macOS asks for microphone access the first time), upload files reliably, and sign in through your browser in one step. Signing out of desktop no longer signs you out of Teak on the web.
  • Install Teak for Safari from the Mac App Store to save pages directly from the Safari toolbar.
  • The browser extension now signs you in through the web app in one step.
  • Teak now has a command-line app to save, search, edit, favorite, delete, sync, and list tags from your terminal, with one-step browser sign-in and an Agent Skill for AI assistants.
  • Raycast, MCP, and API clients now sign in with your browser in one step, so copying an API key is optional and existing keys keep working.
  • The API and MCP server moved to simpler addresses at teakvault.com/api and teakvault.com/mcp. Existing api.teakvault.com links and API keys keep working, so no action is needed.
  • The API can now create file cards through direct uploads for images, video, audio, and documents, and card lists can include file names, sizes, and media types. Lists also load reliably across multiple pages, and deleted cards stay hidden from direct lookups.
  • MCP clients can now browse cards, look up a card, list tags, sync changes, run bulk edits, and create file-upload links.
  • Teak now works as a ChatGPT connector with search and fetch, plus new AI-agent docs pages for easier setup.
  • Import and Export now share one place in Settings with a quick tab to switch. Imports show step-by-step progress and explain exactly which items were skipped or failed, and exports show live progress with a countdown to your next weekly export.
  • Uploaded PDFs now show a page preview in your grid again, open and preview correctly, and web audio recording works reliably in Chrome.
  • Copying from the desktop app now works.
  • Saving colors or a color list as a note now creates a palette card again.
  • File uploads now report progress accurately and retry brief storage hiccups, so a first drag, drop, or paste is less likely to fail.
  • File uploads now support source code, Markdown and MDX, design tokens, ZIP, Office documents, SVG, HEIC, animated GIF, Figma files, and more across web, mobile, desktop, browser extension, API, CLI, and MCP, with a 100 MB limit and safe previews or file facts.
  • Markdown and source-file previews now begin loading before you open them, reuse recent downloads, and show a clear loading state on slower connections.
  • Desktop sign-in confirmation now includes a clear success indicator.
  • Choosing a file in the browser extension now keeps the popup open until the upload finishes or shows an error you can act on.
  • Search now clears old cards when a query has no matches, so empty results show accurately.
  • Settings and sign-in screens now show stable loading states, and managing your subscription opens reliably in Safari and other browsers.
  • Saving a web address now reliably creates a link card with a preview, even when it comes in as plain text.
  • Signing out on the web now works reliably instead of showing an error screen.
  • Large image cards now finish previews, colors, and AI details more reliably, and deleting a card while it is still processing no longer produces follow-up errors.

  • Export your data from Settings on web and desktop. Teak builds a ZIP of your active cards and original files in the background. Track progress, cancel anytime, and download the result. One export per week, available for 7 days.
  • Import browser bookmarks and Teak archive files from Settings. Imports skip duplicate links, preserve visible card details, and report created, skipped, and failed totals.
  • Import Raindrop bookmarks from Settings: choose your Raindrop CSV and each link arrives with its notes, tags, folder, favorite status, and saved date.
  • API keys now have a dedicated management window in Settings with status, copy, revoke, disable, and regenerate controls.

  • The macOS desktop app was rebuilt with real-time sync, browser sign-in, native menus, drag-and-drop uploads, and automatic updates that show download progress.
  • Raycast gained one-shot saving, Save Selected Text, a tag browser with counts, and AI tools for recent cards, tags, and favorites.
  • Drag files anywhere in the web and desktop apps to upload in place, with one progress summary per batch.
  • The add area is now a focused note with capture actions in the header.
  • Mobile is steadier: photos, videos, audio, and documents save again, sign-in is restored on launch, appearance choices persist, and going offline shows a clear retry screen.
  • Paging through cards with the API now returns every card instead of sometimes stopping early.
  • The API accepts up to 100 cards per bulk request and returns a clear error for empty or oversized batches.
  • Link previews now share only a site’s domain, never the full saved address, so private links stay private.
  • Filtering by a tag with spaces in Raycast now searches that exact tag.
  • Install Teak for Safari from the Mac App Store to save the page you are viewing directly from the Safari toolbar.
