What has changed in Hubort?
The newest desktop release is 1.0.62, published 8 October 2026. Below is every release and extension update since 11 September 2026, newest first, each with its date. Hubort launched on 28 September 2026.
Is Hubort still being worked on?
Yes. Since 11 September 2026 the desktop app has gone from 1.0.17 to 1.0.62, and the extension from 2.6.0.0 to 2.17.3.0. Only four of those desktop builds were published as releases (1.0.17, 1.0.32, 1.0.47 and 1.0.62); the ones between were tested and folded into the next, and each entry below says which. Hubort is made by one developer, named in the footer of every page, and services change how their sites work without warning, so keeping up with them is most of the work.
What changed in each release?
Each entry gives the date, what it added or fixed in plain words, and, for a published desktop release, a link to its notes on GitHub.

· Desktop 1.0.62
The MCP Connector can attach a chat and offers a ready-made recall question
- In AI apps that support them, such as Claude Code in a terminal, an app can now attach one of your saved chats by hand, and offers a ready-made "recall" question that searches your chats about a topic and says what you decided, citing them. The Claude desktop app doesn't show either yet; there, ask in words and it uses the same search.
- Both go through the same checks as every other search: only the accounts you allowed, nothing from a paused account, and anything shaped like a password or key masked.
- The MCP Connector is also listed in the official MCP Registry, so apps and directories can find it.

The MCP Connector: Claude, Cursor and VS Code can search your chats
Carries 1.0.60, which was never published on its own.
- The MCP Connector (Pro) lets the AI apps on your computer, such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot and Codex, look things up in your chats from every account. Ask Claude what you decided with ChatGPT, and it finds the chat and links to it.
- Setting an app up is one click: Hubort adds itself to that app's settings, keeps a copy of the file as it was, and changes nothing else. Then you restart the app.
- Apps can only search and read. Each one has its own key, sees only the accounts or folders you choose, and is listed in Settings with what it looked up. Remove stops it at once.
- Hubort sends nothing anywhere for it: what an app reads goes to that app's own AI, like anything you type to it. Passwords, API keys and card numbers are masked first.

· Desktop 1.0.59
Hubort's Climb, a small game in the dashboard
Carries 1.0.57 and 1.0.58, which were never published on their own.
- Hubort's Climb is in the sidebar, under Break: twelve one-screen rooms of browser tabs to climb, with the usage limit as the spikes. It is free for everyone and played with the keyboard, and it sends nothing: what you've cleared stays on this computer.
- A run is five hearts and five minutes, always from the first room. Pausing it, or hiding the window, stops the clock and stops the game drawing anything.
- Calm motion drops the shake and the sparks, and Speed slows the game to 75% or 50%.
-
· Desktop 1.0.56
New monthly prices, and a corrected line in the Licence tab
- Personal is $4.99 a month and Pro is $9.99 a month, up from $3.99 and $7.99. Yearly ($29 and $59), buying once ($79 and $149), the update renewals, the 14-day trial and the two free sources are unchanged.
- The Licence tab says yearly costs about half of paying monthly, which is now true: it used to say about 40% off.
-
· Desktop 1.0.55
A one-time ask for a store rating
- Once you've answered, or closed, the one question Hubort asks a week in, a card offers a link to rate it on the Chrome Web Store. It shows once, whatever you answered, and nothing depends on your reply.
-
· Desktop 1.0.54
Security fixes from a review of the whole product, and the new look
Carries 1.0.48 to 1.0.53, which were never published on their own.
- Each browser that opens the dashboard now signs in on its own. Settings → Signed-in browsers lists them, so you can sign one out, and lists the browsers paired with the app so you can unpair one.
- A paired browser's extension can now reach only what syncing needs. Before, its pairing also opened your whole archive to anything that held it.
- The app's window stays on its own server, and won't follow a link to another program on the same PC.
- The app now checks who sent a request before it reads a large one, so another program on the PC can't use up its memory by sending one.
- Live Sync refuses to write through a folder that is a link to somewhere else.
- The Licence tab has a Refer a friend row, and the setup checklist links to the extension's stores.
- The new look: the site's night-and-cream colours, Rokkitt for headings, the warm glass background, an animated loading screen and a reading animation on the Ask page.
- A security library the app uses for every HTTPS request, rustls, moved to 0.23.45 to fix a published vulnerability (RUSTSEC-2026-0285).
-
· Extension 2.17.3.0
A name people can search for, and Firefox
- The extension's name in the stores becomes “Hubort: Search ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Grok”, so a search for any of them finds it. Its short name is still Hubort.
- Firefox Add-ons published this version the same day it was uploaded. On 30 September the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons still had it in review, so they show the older name until they approve it.
- No new permission was added: this update installs without asking anything of you.
-
· Launch extension 2.17.2.0
Hubort launches
- The Chrome Web Store published the extension. It also runs in Edge and other Chromium browsers.
- Hubort searches ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok across every account you sync, from every browser profile, in one search on your own computer. Nothing is sent to a server of ours, because Hubort has none.
- Free for two sources, with 14 days of everything on every install and no card. Personal and Pro are on sale monthly, yearly and once; hubort.app has been live since 25 September and taking payments through Paddle since 26 September.
- The desktop app that launched with it is 1.0.47, for Windows 10 and 11.
- The installer isn't code-signed yet, so your browser and Windows will warn you about it. A certificate will come once sales pay for it.
-
· Desktop 1.0.47
Subscriptions, Related Chats, Live Sync, and help when something goes wrong
Carries 1.0.33 to 1.0.46, which were never published on their own.
- Personal and Pro subscriptions, monthly and yearly, next to the licence bought once. A subscription's key renews itself with one check a day, and only subscribers make it. Every install starts with an automatic 14-day trial of Pro, with no email asked for.
- Related Chats: open a chat and see the ones like it in every account, even with no words in common. Connections gathers the topics that came up in more than one account. It is a model trained on your own chats, on your computer.
- Live Sync (Pro): keeps a folder of Markdown files, such as an Obsidian vault, and your Notion workspace up to date. Files you edit yourself are never overwritten.
- Report a problem, from the app: it shows you everything before it sends. Optional daily usage reports, off until you turn them on, with “See what's sent”.
- A setup checklist and tips that show once, in order, with a spotlight on what they point at.
- Settings is a page of its own, with search.
- Links out of the app's window open in your browser.
- Extension 2.17.1: the popup fills the browser's options dialog.
-
· Desktop 1.0.32
ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok, the free cap, Ask Your Archive, and a new name
Carries 1.0.18 to 1.0.31, which were never published on their own.
- ChatGPT (15 September), then Gemini and Grok (16 September), as services a browser can sync. Gemini can hold several Google accounts in one profile, and the popup lists each to tick.
- An account is named by who is signed in to it, not by the label a browser sends, so one account synced from two browsers is one account, and two accounts never merge.
- The dashboard marks an account that has stopped syncing, and a service whose accounts all have.
- Hubort no longer downloads chats it already holds when a second browser syncs the same account.
- The free tier's two-source limit: extra accounts pause with every chat kept on your computer, and come back when you upgrade.
- Ask Your Archive and Usage Insights, as Pro features. Ask sends your question, and the few excerpts that answer it, to your own AI provider on your own key, with anything shaped like a password or key masked in the excerpts first.
- AcctSync became Hubort. The new app installs beside the old one and offers to bring its data across.
- Extension 2.16.1.0, for the rename.
-
· Desktop 1.0.17
An installer that repairs what it needs, and browsers that prove who they are
The last of a run of releases that day, 1.0.10 to 1.0.17; the log starts here. Then called AcctSync.
- Pairing a browser with the app now uses a seven-digit code, and each side proves it holds the pairing before anything is sent. Another Windows account on the same PC can no longer see your chats or add to them.
- Each Windows account on a PC gets its own Hubort, with its own data and its own port, so a second account's Hubort never shows the first one's chats.
- A force-closed app no longer leaves its server running, which had blocked the next install.
- On a PC without a working WebView2 runtime, the installer now carries Microsoft's own installer for it inside, and runs that first, instead of downloading one when you run it.
- Crash reports are off until you say yes, and are scrubbed of names, paths and addresses first.
- Extension 2.6.0.0, for the pairing.
How do I get updates?
The desktop app checks GitHub for a newer release when it starts, and whenever you ask from the tray icon, and installs it; the only thing GitHub learns is your address and the app's version, as the privacy policy says. The extension updates itself through Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Something not right? Help → Report a problem in the app tells us what broke, with diagnostics, and shows you all of it before it goes.
