What's New

Sign in again after the sign-in update

Teak moved to a new sign-in system on October 7. Your library, cards, Pro plan, and account ownership stay exactly as they were.

• Everyone: sign in again on the web, mobile, Teak for Mac (including Safari saving), Chrome, Raycast, and the CLI.
• If you signed in with a password: reset your password from the sign-in page before you sign in. Sign-in emails come from Teak.
• If you use Google or Apple: continue with the same option as before.
• Raycast: update the extension to the latest version from the Raycast Store, then sign in again. See the Raycast guide.
• MCP clients connected with browser sign-in: remove Teak from the client, add it again, and sign in. API keys keep working without changes. See the MCP guide.

New accounts can sign up again on the new sign-in system. On the web, signing in, creating an account, and resetting your password now open the sign-in page directly, with no extra step. The mobile app works the same way: Login with Email and Register with Email go straight to the sign-in page, and logging out takes you back to the app’s welcome screen without opening a browser. Continue with Apple on iPhone and iPad works again, and new accounts open their library right away instead of sometimes showing a sign-in error.

Write notes on the web

• Notes support headings, lists, tasks, quotes, code, and links while you write. Type / for formatting commands or select text for quick formatting.
• Your notes stay in Markdown. Existing tables, image references, and other unsupported formatting remain editable as text, with no changes until you edit.

Capture and organize on Mac

• Save notes, quotes, files, and recorded audio from the Mac library alongside links and Safari pages.
• Browse a refreshed native library, search by tags, dates, colors, and style, and use familiar Mac keyboard shortcuts.
• Edit text and quotes, organize notes and tags, toggle favorites, and manage Trash without switching to the web app. Changes sync across your library.

See the Mac app guide to get started.

A cleaner Chrome extension popup

• The popup now matches the Teak web app and shows what it saved, with the site name.
• Opening it on a page you already saved says Already in your Teak and stays open, instead of briefly showing that the page was saved.
• The pending saves notice only appears for saves that didn’t finish, not while a save is still in progress.
• Inline save buttons no longer appear on Web Designer News, which changed its layout. Right-click Save Page to Teak or the popup still saves any of its pages.

Your library and imports

• Returning from Settings now keeps your library, search, and unsaved draft ready. Settings shows each section as its information loads.
• Canceling an import stops it between batches. Archive imports check whether the uploaded file changed during processing, and error reports show shorter excerpts of failed items. See the import guide.
• Chrome keeps saves interrupted by an extension update so you can retry or discard them. After updating Chrome or Safari, sign in again to reconnect the extension.

Account access and sign-in

• Security in Settings brings devices, connected apps, and API keys together. Signing out a device or disconnecting an app stops its access immediately, including existing MCP connections. Desktop, CLI, and Raycast sign-out also revokes that installation’s access; if sign-out fails, you can retry without losing its saved credentials.
• Email sign-in works without configuring Google or Apple first. Unavailable social sign-in options now explain what is missing.

Apps and integrations

• Teak for Safari now opens a native Mac library for searching and reading your cards. See the browser extension guide.
• Teak for Safari now has a native Mac settings window with Settings and About tabs.
• AI agents in supporting browsers can search and read cards from the signed-in web app without extra setup. See in-browser tools.
• The dedicated API search and favorites endpoints have been removed. Direct API integrations should use filtered card listing; the CLI, SDK, MCP tools, and Raycast already use it. See the API guide.
• Local self-hosting setup now uses one command. If your self-hosted installation uses custom API or assistant addresses, update them to a single public origin as described in the self-hosting guide.

• Image and video cards now load noticeably faster, with your library reusing what it has already downloaded instead of fetching everything again.
• New image cards finish preparing their previews and colors noticeably sooner, and large exports build quicker and more reliably.
• Uploaded PDFs show their first page as the card preview in the grid again.
• The iPhone and iPad apps no longer close immediately on launch, and search, refresh, and image-heavy libraries load more quickly.
• Signing in from desktop, the CLI, Raycast, or a browser extension now asks you to approve access before Teak connects the device.
• API keys are limited to 10 active keys per account, with a revoke-all control in Settings if you need to clear every key.
• Image uploads are now verified before saving, so broken files are rejected with a clear error instead of creating a card that never shows a preview.
• Large uploads can continue from their completed parts after a temporary interruption instead of restarting from zero.
• Audio recordings made in Chrome and Safari now save as audio cards with the waveform player instead of video cards.
• Image cards now use private, device-sized previews in modern formats for the grid and full-card view, while downloads keep the unchanged original.
• File uploads now finish reliably across the web app, browser extension, API, CLI, and MCP.

• The desktop app is here: record audio notes, upload files reliably, and sign in through your browser in one step.
• Install Teak for Safari from the Mac App Store to save pages directly from the Safari toolbar.
• 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, and MCP clients can browse cards, 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. Imports show step-by-step progress, and exports show live progress with a countdown to your next weekly export.
• File uploads now support source code, Markdown and MDX, design tokens, ZIP, Office documents, SVG, HEIC, animated GIF, Figma files, and more in the web app, mobile app, desktop app, Chrome extension, API, CLI, and MCP, with a 100 MB limit for ordinary uploads (files inside an imported Teak archive are limited to 20 MiB each).
• The API docs now include a searchable, operation-by-operation reference with schemas and code samples.
• Docs pages can be saved as a PDF or EPUB from the page actions menu.

• 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.

• Raycast AI can save to Teak, search your cards, and fetch a single card by ID using your existing API key.
• The browser extension adds a save button directly to posts on Instagram, Pinterest, X, Hacker News, and several design news sites, saving the real article URL.
• Saved Instagram and X posts now capture the real text and attached media, so multi-image posts and video tweets render inline.
• Very tall images expand to the full preview width, and you can scroll vertically inside the preview.
• Opening a shared or bookmarked card link with an invalid ID now shows a clear error instead of silently failing.
