What's New in Éter Social Reader
1.9.0
September 18, 2026
This release reshuffles navigation, adds a welcome flow and sharpens automatic translation. Navigation • The tab bar now has five destinations: Home, Search, Bookmarks, Likes and Profile. The "More" menu is gone. • Lists, Notifications and Settings open from the timeline header and from Bookmarks, without rebuilding the current view. • bsky.app links inside a post now open the profile or the post inside the app instead of the browser. Welcome • A new five-screen first-launch flow, with a typewriter headline and haptic feedback, explaining that this is an unofficial client, plus translation, bookmarks and moderation. It needs no account and no network. Translation • Fixed translations that stalled while scrolling the timeline, with automatic retry and real-language detection when a post is mislabelled. • Truncated links inside a translated post open correctly again. Personalisation and moderation • Choose the app icon among the butterfly and monogram variants, with more accent colours; the accent-based icons follow the colour you pick. • Sensitive content now has three modes: hide, warn before showing, or show directly. Account • App passwords can be revealed as you type them, so a long hyphenated string is no longer typed blind. Other • The new-posts pill no longer disappears after a multi-page catch-up. • A keyboard-dismiss button in Search, a larger tap target on the repost button, and more readable onboarding text on iPad. • The Mac version is back, with its own window and a native menu bar.
