What changed, newest first.

Smylte - Save social media posts, library & downloader v0.55.15 is available in the Chrome Web Store. The public listing was checked on 24 October 2026.

• Sidebar world clocks. See the time in your chosen time zones and adjust them in Settings.
• Support links stay together. Discord (bug report) stays directly above Support me, with the updated Discord invitation.
• Threads text capture fixes. Handle the observed reply-editor placeholder without treating it as published text, and preserve published “Reply to” lines. These fixes do not guarantee every post or comment can be captured.
• Native language label. The language menu shows Simplified Chinese as 简体中文.

The same extension item and local Library continue through the update. Successfully saved content remains viewable after the original is deleted while you retain the local copy. Site access, media formats and download confirmation still determine what can be saved; a thumbnail alone is not a saved video.

The public GitHub repository contains product information, update notes and support links. Smylte remains closed source. Visit the Smylte product page for the Store link and supported features.
