Customer Support request, please!

Hello! First, I wanted to say that I highly enjoy using your app. It’s easy to use and works wonderfully. However, with your newest update, my bookmarked pages disappeared and I get an error message when trying to open the app. I have tried looking for your support email but I cannot find it. I really hope this is a bug, or that I’m making a mistake somewhere (which I’d like to know how to undo it.) I really miss using this app! Please and thank you in advance.

Updated 12/31/25: Thank you to a wonderful developer! The newest update fixed my synced bookmark problem. Have a wonderful day!

Hi, thanks for getting in touch and thanks for the positive feedback. I’d love to help. It seems these replies are taking a while to go through over the holidays, so thanks for your patience too. It sounds like the one-time SwiftData migration in v3.0.0 hasn’t worked seamlessly for you, but your data will still be there behind the scenes until it migrates successfully. Please contact me via email at guffaws.casual.9q@icloud.com, or over on Mastodon (see the App Support on the app store page), and provide the error message, and I’ll see what I can do to help restore your tabs! In the meantime I’ve also got a potential fix in v3.1.0 for an issue which could affect tabs with focus limits.
