0.3.18
Latest DownloadStable release. Includes everything from 0.3.18-beta.1 to beta.8:
Changed
- Profiles are now Cloud or This PC. "Move to cloud" replaces Enable sync, and "Keep on this PC only" replaces Disable sync.
- A profile kept on one PC shows as "In use only on" that PC on your other PCs. Owners and managers can take it over.
- A profile and its cloud copy show as one row.
Fixed
- Opening a cloud profile on another computer works again, and a failed download no longer leaves files behind.
- Ant0 now starts the first time on a new Linux account.
- If someone else on this computer already has Ant0 open, Ant0 now tells you.
- Sync and Free plan activation recover better after a network problem or reconnect.
Security
- Updated components that had published security fixes.
-
0.3.17
Stable release. Includes everything from 0.3.17-beta.1 to beta.20, plus:
Changed
- Clearer wording when deleting a proxy, when sync is locked, and when turning off sync.
Fixed
- Copies of a profile whose server copy was deleted work again.
- Deleting a server copy that a profile on this computer uses explains why it can't be deleted.
-
0.3.16
Stable release: replaces 0.3.12.
Added
- The background service now runs from a signed, versioned runtime that the app and the command line manage, so signing in works the same way in both.
- Choose whether the background service starts when you sign in to your computer, and see its current state in Settings.
- The installer includes the Ant0 command-line tool and the MCP server, so your profiles can be driven from a terminal.
- Create several profiles at once with shared settings, and group profiles into persistent folders.
Fixed
- A brand-new install can start its background service on Windows, and signing in completes on a fresh install as well as after signing out.
- Turning "start with your computer" on or off now reports the true state, and the service starts when you sign in.
- Windows no longer blocks saving workspace API keys, and profile lists and event history stay consistent across workspace changes and interrupted sign-outs.
-
0.3.15
Beta release: this version is for direct beta testing; 0.3.12 remains the stable release. Browser sign-in and sync reset are not available yet.
Added
- Settings explain account, update, error-report and optional sync connections, with links to security and privacy guidance.
Fixed
- Windows text-editing menus remove password import and unrelated browser actions while preserving Voice typing.
-
0.3.14
Beta release: this version is for direct beta testing; 0.3.12 remains the stable release.
Added
- Windows and Linux packages now include the
ant0CLI, including theant0 mcp servecommand.
Fixed
- Dropdown menus stay aligned with their controls when dialogs are scrolled.
- API-key expiry countdowns update as time passes and use the selected language.
- Native context menus keep text editing and selection actions without browser navigation or page tools.
- Windows and Linux packages now include the
-
0.3.13
Beta release: this version is for direct beta testing; 0.3.12 remains the stable release.
Added
- Create multiple profiles at once with shared settings, an allowance preview, and clear partial, cancelled or unconfirmed results.
- Create, rename and remove persistent folders without deleting their profiles.
Changed
- Local API credentials are copy-only, and examples now link to maintained documentation.
- Profile operating-system choices use clear Windows and Linux labels.
Fixed
- Improve event history and reconnection across workspace changes and interrupted sign-outs.
- Fix the Windows permissions error that could prevent saving workspace API keys.
-
0.3.12
Changed
- Shorter Free activation and privacy texts; the sign-in and first-run screens link to the Privacy policy.
- Error reports from the app window now remove e-mail addresses too, as background-service reports already did.
Fixed
- On Ubuntu 23.10 and newer, profiles start again: the Linux package now lets the browser use its sandbox. If Linux still blocks it, the notice says so and offers the fix to copy.
- When a profile fails to start or crashes, the notice names the profile and says how the browser ended, and the browser log of the previous start is kept next to the new one.
-
0.3.11
Added
- Ant0 now speaks Spanish (Latin America), Russian, Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese. Choose a language in Settings → Appearance; labels and dialogs make room for longer translations.
- If your Free workspace needs activation, Profiles shows its status and lets you retry after a review is approved.
Changed
- Desktop update checks now verify publisher-signed channel and release information. Windows verifies the installer before offering Restart; on Linux, Download saves a verified Debian package for you to install manually, without asking for administrator access in the app.
- When "Send crash reports" is on, error notices and background-service failures are reported alongside crashes. Turning it off in Settings → Privacy stops those reports too.
Fixed
- The Windows installer build now keeps its dependency list consistent with the verified source.
-
0.3.10
- No installer was published for this version; its changes are included in 0.3.11.
-
0.3.9
Added
- Ant0 now speaks Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified) and Spanish (Latin America). Pick your language in Settings → Appearance; your choice is saved to your account, so the website and your emails match.
Changed
- Tables, buttons and dialogs make room for longer words, so labels are no longer cut off in any language. Sizes and times read naturally in each language.
- The Chinese interface uses its own bundled font, so it looks the same on every computer.
- "Change IP" only appears for proxies that have a change-IP link.
- When something goes wrong, Ant0 now tells us about it: the error notices you see and problems in the background service are reported alongside crashes, so recurring faults get fixed instead of going unnoticed. Reports carry the error and the screen, never the words of the message, your files, cookies or the sites you visit. Turning "Send crash reports" off in Settings → Privacy still stops everything, background service included.
-
0.3.8
Fixed
- Ant0 keeps working when the account service adds new information to its replies; before, a service update could make the profile list show "No workspace" until the app was updated.
-
0.3.7
Added
- Ant0 now speaks Portuguese (Brazil). Pick your language in Settings → Appearance; your choice is saved to your account, so the website and your emails match. Help and web links open in the same language, and Settings → About now links to the terms and privacy policy.
Changed
- A profile window now continues where you left off: it reopens the tabs from last time. A new profile, or one closed with no tabs open, still starts on the Ant0 start page. Changing "On startup" in the browser's settings keeps working per profile. Profiles opened from scripts or in headless mode still start clean.
Fixed
- Ant0 opens straight to your profiles, with your account details already loaded: no more "Reconnecting" or "Locked" flashing past while it starts. "Reconnecting" now appears only when a working connection is actually lost.
- Starting a profile no longer makes the profile list flicker to an error. On Linux, if Ant0 is force-closed, its background service now stops too instead of blocking the next start.
- Sync is clearer: an owner who hasn't set it up yet sees "Set up sync", "Needs access" says why and how to get access back, and the recovery-file dialogs open in your Documents folder.
- A revealed API token on the Automation page stays inside its panel instead of spilling over it.
- The Team page shows a member who joined, or an invitation accepted, on the website within half a minute instead of only after a restart.
- On a computer shared by several Ant0 accounts, each account's profile count and limit now only include its own profiles, not profiles that belong to another account's workspace.
-
0.3.6
Added
- New engine versions install automatically in the background and become the default; a short notice says when one is ready. Running profiles switch at their next start, and a profile pinned to a version keeps it. Ant0 keeps the newest two engines and removes older ones nothing uses. Turn it off on the Engine page under Updates.
Changed
- A profile window opens on the Ant0 start page instead of a blank tab.
-
0.3.5
Fixed
- Starting a profile no longer sometimes fails with "Error" and needs a second click.
- Right after the app opens, the workspace switcher no longer shows "No workspace".
Changed
- A profile with a proxy only starts when the proxy works. If it doesn't, Ant0 says so; fix the proxy or remove it from the profile, then start again.
-
0.3.4
Added
- New tabs open the Ant0 start page: search, and a corner marker with the profile's name. Hover it to see the IP address, country, time zone and language that websites see.
Changed
- Ant0 follows each new browser engine automatically. Existing profiles keep their machine and simply report the new browser version, with nothing to redo.
- A profile's identity shows the browser version it actually runs.
-
0.3.3
Fixed
- Profiles and Proxies always load. Profiles made before accounts existed show "Needs review"; choose "Keep on this computer" to use them again (they count toward your plan).
- Updating Ant0 no longer makes your computer look like a new device, which could lock the app and use up a device slot.
- A proxy's Change IP link only opens public web addresses, never your own network.
Added
- Settings → About → Copy diagnostics: the facts support needs, in one paste, with no personal data.
- When crash reports are on, Ant0 also reports errors that stop a screen from loading (codes only).
Changed
- While signed out, the background service refuses everything except signing in.
-
0.3.2
Changed
- Settings is now one overview: account, appearance, privacy, data, engine and about side by side, each opening its details in a side panel. Settings moved into the account menu at the bottom of the side bar; Ctrl+, opens it from anywhere.
- Automation is one overview too: the local API with its address, token and recent calls, live events, API keys, MCP and the command line.
- The Engine screen shows the version your profiles use, what else is installed and how updates work, each in its own card.
- New drawings for first steps and empty screens: syncing, a team with one member, and no proxies, extensions or deleted profiles yet.
Fixed
- Side panels can be scrolled with the keyboard.
-
0.3.1
Fixed
- After an update on Windows, the desktop shortcut and taskbar now show the new icon straight away.
- Proxies show the name you gave them everywhere, and counts of one read "1 proxy" and "1 extension".
- Pasting text Import can't read now says so clearly. The sign-in theme menu no longer opens off the edge of the window.
- On narrower windows the folder panel folds away so the profile table keeps its columns. Your choice comes back on a wider window.
Changed
- Settings shows one section at a time: Account, Appearance, Data, Network and privacy, Engine and About. The bottom of the side bar is now your account; its menu has the theme, help, your account on the web and Sign out. Ant0 only shows a note above it when something needs you.
- Automation has four tabs: API keys, Local API, Examples and Events. A key's file is shown in its Details panel with a copy button.
- On a plan without sync, the Sync screen says so. Help links open docs.ant0.link.
- Plainer, shorter words across the app, and new drawings for empty screens. Sync now says Upload changes, Get latest and Download a copy, and a new computer is given access with Give access. "Licence" is now "Plan status".
-
0.3.0
Changed
- New look: a leaf-green dark theme (Light and System still available), the new Ant0 logo and app icon, and the same icons and illustrations as ant0.link.
- The app now only signs in. "Create a free account" opens ant0.link, and the app no longer loads a third-party verification check.
- Dialogs, dropdowns, notifications and detail panels work like the ant0.link dashboard. Notifications pause while you point at them.
- Profile notes open in a small editor instead of changing inside the table.
- Shorter, clearer text throughout the app.
Fixed
- Small grey labels in the light theme were hard to read; they now meet contrast guidelines.
-
0.2.1
Fixed
- The app, the daemon and the
ant0command line now report the version you actually installed. In 0.2.0 they still said 0.1.0. - Installing an update no longer leaves files from an older version behind, and uninstalling now removes them. Upgrading from 0.1.x kept 2.3 MB of unused files in the program folder.
- The app, the daemon and the
-
0.2.0
Added
- Start profiles without exposing a browser endpoint. Profiles and first-run setup use this ordinary start, single or in bulk; the developer start that returns a DevTools endpoint is still available on Automation and through the CLI.
- Keep working when the network drops: a profile you have already been authorized to start can start again offline until your licence's grace period ends. Signing out, switching workspace, changing a profile's configuration or a refused permission ends that offline window immediately.
- Publish an independent copy of a duplicated or conflicted profile with Promote, in the app and with
ant0 profiles promote. If the connection drops mid-promotion, the app recovers the outcome instead of repeating it, and your local data is preserved either way. - Automation keys can now run and stop profiles, not just read them. Create a key with the Read or
Operate preset, and add browser-endpoint access explicitly when a script needs it. Keys work after
you sign out of the app, and the MCP adapter gains
ant0_profile_runandant0_profile_stopalongside its seven read tools.
Changed
- Sign-in and account creation now have a dedicated, centered page without product navigation. Profiles stay hidden while the account loads. Theme, Settings and privacy, and background-service recovery remain accessible; signing out from Settings returns to sign-in automatically.
- Sign-in shows a brief network summary with "What Ant0 sends" to expand the full privacy disclosure, keeping the default form visible at the minimum window size.
Fixed
- Same-account licence refreshes preserve unsaved forms and open dialogs while identity is rechecked. Account and workspace changes still discard the previous screen's drafts.
- Startup update checks continue while signed out and respect the saved update-check setting.
-
0.1.4
Added
- Getting started: a short welcome explains what a profile is, a sample profile keeps the list from being empty on day one, a checklist tracks your first four steps, and a "?" on each main screen explains it in a few lines.
- Theme menu in the sidebar (System / Light / Dark) and a Language setting in Settings → Appearance (English so far; the app is ready for more).
- Release notes in the app: Settings → About → "What's new", and the update notice shows what the new version brings before you restart.
Changed
- Every dialog reviewed for operators: clearer wording, specific validation messages, buttons named after what they do, confirmations that list the affected names, busy states while saving.
- Import understands the real GoLogin, AdsPower and Multilogin export layouts and shows per row what was not carried over. Profile names are trimmed and unique regardless of letter case.
- Failures say what happened and what to do next: interrupted engine downloads, a full or read-only data folder, a stopped background service, a port already in use. Browsers left behind by a crash are closed at the next start.
- Windows: title bar follows the theme, sharper icon on high-DPI screens, thin scrollbars, high-contrast mode supported. Linux: cookie export right after a start no longer waits 25 seconds.
Security
- Crash reports never include proxy passwords; the app only reads files you pick and only opens its own folders and known links; the database is private to your user account.
-
0.1.3
Changed
- The window works down to 1200 × 720 with no page scrollbars. Table columns leave one by one as the window narrows instead of the table scrolling sideways.
- Country flags are real images on both Windows and Linux. Windows has no emoji flags, so codes such as "IN" used to read as stray text next to the proxy.
- New icon set drawn for the app and a sharper colour theme: a bluer accent and a clearer light theme.
- Empty lists ("No profiles yet", "Nothing matches your search") sit centred in the content area with one action instead of in the top-left corner.
- Proxies: "Last checked" is its own column; Status shows only the dot and the word.
- Buttons and the right edge of every screen line up with the table. Menus, dialogs and toasts open with a short fade (none when your system asks for reduced motion).
Fixed
- The bulk toolbar no longer clips "Delete" at 1280 px with the folder column open.
-
0.1.2
Added
- Identity fields you changed by hand can be cleared back to the generated value.
Changed
- Updating the app first stops running browsers and the background service cleanly, then installs.
- While the details panel is open beside the table, the Tags and Notes columns hide so names stay readable; both values remain visible in the panel and the columns return on wider windows.
- Selecting, hovering and scrolling stay smooth with 300+ profiles in the list.
Fixed
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA): higher contrast for secondary text, larger checkbox targets, a "Skip to content" link, screen-reader announcements for notifications and crashed profiles, and focus returning to where you were after closing a menu or panel.
-
0.1.1
Added
- The app writes its own log (desktop.log) next to the service log. Settings → About → "Open logs folder" opens both.
- Command line: proxies can be addressed by name, not only by id.
Changed
- Closing the app closes running browsers and stops the background service cleanly instead of leaving them behind.
- New browser windows open on a blank first tab instead of the engine's welcome page.
Fixed
- Profiles with a generated identity show their operating system in the list.
-
0.1.0
First release. Ant0 is the desktop app for Ant0 Browser: it keeps separate browser profiles, each with its own identity (fingerprint), proxy, cookies and extensions, and starts and stops them from one window. Everything runs on your computer; no account is needed.
Added
- Profiles: folders, search, tags, notes, pin, duplicate, bulk start and stop, trash with 7-day retention, live running status.
- An identity per profile generated from a real-population model and kept coherent with the proxy's country and time zone.
- Proxies: HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 with or without credentials; connection checks with exit IP and country; bulk paste and CSV import.
- Extensions library (folder, zip or crx) assignable to profiles.
- Cookie import and export per profile (Cookie-Editor JSON and Netscape formats).
- Engine page: downloads and installs Ant0 Browser on first run, shows installed releases and offers updates.
- Settings: theme, data folder, update check and crash reports (both on by default, switchable), versions and logs.
- Signed installers for Windows (per-user, no admin rights) and Linux (AppImage and deb), with in-app updates.
