What's New in Beluga
2026.9
November 11, 2026
This is a big one. Beluga has been rebuilt with a new design and now runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can now publish to many more places. We added SFTP, WebDAV, Neocities, Netlify, GitHub Pages, and Bunny.net, along with many more S3-compatible providers like Cloudflare R2. So you can really host your feed wherever you like. Your devices now stay in sync through your own site. Already have a Beluga site? Just connect it from your other device and keep posting. We also made publishing faster and more reliable, improved the photo gallery, and fixed a lot of bugs.
