v0.2.0 Major Update

What's New in Version 0.2.0

Everything added in our latest update for macOS creators and managers.

🌐 5 New Platforms (11 Total)

Added Facebook, YouTube (main feed), Bluesky, Pinterest, and Reddit alongside Instagram, Threads, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube Studio.

✍️ Per-Platform Caption Overrides

Customize captions per platform inside Compose. Use hashtags for Instagram vs longform text for LinkedIn and Reddit without losing your shared default.

📜 Local Post History

Keep a private, on-device log of staged and copied captions (up to 500 entries) in your local Application Support directory — clearable anytime.

🔔 macOS Local Reminders

Schedule native macOS notifications to remind you when it's time to post — rearmed across app restarts.

🔍 Responsive Desktop Scaling

Desktop views (LinkedIn Messaging, YouTube Studio, Facebook) now automatically scale to fit narrow windows and popover switchers cleanly.

📋 Native Copy & Paste Fixes

Full support for standard macOS editing shortcuts (⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘X, ⌘A, ⌘Z) across all input fields and web views.

Stop app-hopping. Start posting.

Built for people who post to several platforms a week.

Badge counts, aggregated

Unread counts per platform, totalled on the menu bar icon. When a count can't be read, SocialBar says so — it never shows a fake zero.

That is the whole interface until you need it.

Compose staging & overrides

One hotkey opens every platform's upload flow side by side, with a shared caption, per-platform custom overrides, and character limits.

Local history & reminders

Log staged and copied captions locally (up to 500 entries) and schedule local macOS User Notifications to remind you when it's time to post.

Real multi-account

Each account gets its own isolated session. Multiple accounts per platform stay genuinely separate, across restarts.

What it doesn't do

SocialBar stages posts. It does not auto-post. It opens each platform's own upload flow and hands you a shared caption to paste. It does not fill forms, schedule, or upload on your behalf.

That is deliberate. Automated posting breaks whenever a platform changes its interface, and it puts your accounts at risk. Staging just removes the tab-shuffling.

100% Free & Open

All features are fully unlocked for everyone. Voluntary donations support ongoing maintenance and development.

Privacy

Everything stays on your Mac. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry, no account required. SocialBar contacts exactly one thing it does not have to: a small static file on this domain that keeps badge detection working when platforms change their markup.

Requires macOS 14 or later. Questions: support.
