VaultKeeper Browser Extension Changelog

[1.0.8] - 2026-01-22

Navigation & Layout

• Tabbed Sidebar: Introduced a new tabbed navigation system at the top of the sidebar. You can now switch seamlessly between All Items, Credit Cards, and Secure Notes from any view, replacing the previous bottom navigation bar.
• Note Detail Header: Redesigned the Secure Note header to place action buttons (Edit, Copy as MD, Delete) inline with the title, maximizing vertical space.
• Split-View Fixes: Resolved layout issues where navigating directly between Cards and Notes could cause view overlapping.

Performance & Data Management

• Smart Caching: Implemented a background in-memory cache to minimize redundant requests to the desktop application, significantly speeding up navigation within the extension.
• Manual Sync: Added a Refresh button to the main toolbar. This allows you to force a data synchronization with the desktop app without logging out.
• Optimized Loading: Data is now served instantly from cache when navigating back and forth, only fetching from disk when necessary (e.g., after edits or on valid cache expiry).

User Interface & Experience

• State Persistence: The extension remembers your last active section (Cards, Notes, or Logins) and restores it when you reopen the popup.
• Updated Icons: Refined icons for the Password Generator and navigation tabs for better visibility and aesthetic consistency.
• Editor Improvements: Added formatting buttons (Lists) and Markdown export capabilities to the Secure Note editor.

Accessibility

• Target Sizes: Increased the size of interactive elements and toolbar buttons for easier clicking.
• Visual Feedback: Added animations (spinning refresh icon) and success indicators when copying data.
