Reviewing what changed — especially when something else wrote it. REVIEW POINT Set a review point in the Git window and see only what has changed since. Files you have read are ticked off, and the point moves on by itself once everything on screen has been read. A file that changes again comes back unread, so a tick always means you saw that version. A REVIEW PASS THAT HOLDS STILL The eye hides the files you have already read and fixes the list while you work through it, instead of the list shrinking under you as you go. Turn it off and on to start a fresh pass. UNTRACKED FILES Files that were written but never added to git are now listed beneath the changed files, and you can open and read them. They are shown as all additions, they are never counted as read, and the panel says so rather than leaving you to notice. BIG CHANGES STILL OPEN A range too large to show at once still lists every file, and fetches each diff when you open it, rather than showing nothing. IN THE DIFF A newly added file now uses the whole pane in Split view instead of leaving half of it empty. The header's navigation stays in one place whatever file you step onto, so the button under your pointer is still the button you meant to press, and the toolbar shows which side panels are open. FIXES Two copies of the app open at once no longer overwrite each other's review progress. Several layout fixes for narrower windows, where the header could cut off its own buttons and the file list could be pushed off the top of the window.

Version 5.0 is the largest update yet — six new windows and a lot of polish. VIDEO PLAYER Open videos in their own windows and step through them one frame at a time. A filmstrip along the bottom shows every frame in the clip and keeps the current one centered as you scrub, so you can find an exact moment instead of hunting for it. Save any frame as an image, or copy it with the file name and timecode attached so it lands ready to paste into a note or a ticket. Thumbnails show duration and dimensions, and you can sort a folder by either. SEARCH Search any favorite folder by name, kind, extension, date, or size, with or without subfolders. Results stream in as they are found. Build folders like node_modules and dist are skipped by default to keep things fast — and if a search comes back empty because of that, it now tells you which folders were skipped and lets you include them with a click. PROJECTS Group related folders into a project and browse them as one. Useful when a piece of work spans a repo, a design folder, and an assets directory that live nowhere near each other. FINDER TAGS Tag files and folders from the right-click menu, one at a time or a whole selection. Filter the Image Viewer and Video Player by tag, rename a tag, or remove one — all writing real Finder tags, so everything stays visible in Finder too. FOLDER SECRETS Store an API key alongside a folder, kept in the macOS keychain rather than in a file. When you need it in a terminal, the app hands it to a command directly, so the key never has to be written to disk in the project. .ENV TOOLS Values are masked in the info pane instead of being displayed in full. Edit settings in place with a Settings or Raw view, and add a row above or below any other. A separate audit shows which .env files are still visible to git, and offers to fix each one. GIT CHANGES Image diffs show a changed asset side by side instead of as unreadable binary. Browse commit history, compare branches, and jump straight back to the file you were last looking at in each repository. MULTIPLE WINDOWS AND SESSIONS Image Viewer, Video Player, Search, Projects, the editor, and the MCP inspector all open as many windows as you need, with a switcher to move between them. Everything you had open is offered back after a restart, and a Recently Closed list reopens anything you shut by mistake. EDITOR A standalone, resizable editor window for text files, with syntax highlighting and safe writing that preserves Finder tags, hard links, and symlinks. MCP INSPECTOR Read the MCP server configuration Claude and other tools use, with credentials masked. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE Clicking a file or folder responds immediately. Time filters stay open-ended, so files created after you set a filter still match. The Git Changes toolbar stays pinned. Repositories are listed alphabetically. Files added outside the app now appear in folders you have open with subfolders included. Dozens of smaller fixes throughout.

This release adds powerful new ways to work with your files: GIT CHANGES VIEWER • See uncommitted and staged changes, plus full diffs, for any bookmarked Git repository — right inside the app. • Browse commit history and click any commit to view exactly what changed. • Compare branches without checking them out. • Changed image files now show a visual before/after diff, not just text. • The repository list is now sorted alphabetically, and empty, renamed, or binary files show a clear explanation instead of a blank diff. IMAGE & VIDEO VIEWERS • Dedicated windows with smooth zoom — scroll, pinch, keyboard, and hand-drag panning. • Open several viewer windows at once and switch between them from a thumbnail popover; reopen a window from Recently Closed. • Thumbnails now show video length and image dimensions — and you can sort by them. • Select multiple items to copy, reveal, export, or remove them together. • Resize and export images at custom dimensions, and save your own reusable export presets. • Play videos from any folder with a thumbnail rail. Live refresh, sorting, Quick Look, copy, and drag-out throughout. FOLDER SEARCH • Right-click any folder to search it and its subfolders by name, extension, kind, date, or size. • Sort results by clicking column headers, just like Finder. PROJECTS • Collect files and folders from across every disk into named Projects. • Open a Project to see everything aggregated in one sortable window — no matter where the items actually live. MORE TOOLS • Edit text files in a resizable editor window. • Run your own saved commands or scripts on any file, straight from the right-click menu. • Inspect the Model Context Protocol servers configured for a folder, with sensitive values automatically redacted. REFINEMENTS • Git status badges on folders show at a glance what has changed. • Per-column sorting now remembers your preference for each folder. • Favorites are more resilient — an unplugged drive no longer removes your ar when it's reconnected. • Numerous stability and performance improvements. Thanks for using Favorite Folders! We'd love your feedback and reviews.

This is our biggest update yet — Favorite Folders is now a complete companion for developers, designers, and power users. GIT, BUILT IN • New Git Changes window shows syntax-highlighted diffs for any bookmarked repository — side-by-side or whole-file. • Switch branches to review another branch's changes without checking it out. • A change-overview ruler with Next/Previous navigation jumps you straight to each edit; read in a focused full-screen mode. • Browse changed files as a tree or a flat list, and step through them in the exact order you see them — the view follows your selection. • Git change badges show added / modified / deleted counts right on your folders. IMAGE & VIDEO VIEWERS • A dedicated image viewer — scroll-wheel and pinch zoom, hand-drag panning, Quick Look, and live refresh as files change on disk. • A matching video player — a thumbnail rail beside a full playback view with scrubbing, fullscreen, and arrow-key stepping between clips. • Collect images or videos from anywhere into one window, sort them, and step through with the arrow keys. • Pro unlocks the full image & video collections, plus resize/export images and user-editable JSON export presets with one-click batch export — including ready-made app-icon sets. SEARCH ANY FOLDER • Right-click any folder → "Search this Folder" (or include subfolders) to open a focused search window. • Find by name, wildcard (*.png, report*), extension, kind (image / video / document / …), date, and size — results filter live as you type. • Reveal, open, Quick Look, copy, or send a result straight into the Image or Video viewer. SHELL COMMANDS • Save shell commands and run them in Terminal straight from any file or folder's right-click menu, with {file} and {folder} tokens filled in automatically. • Automatically detects package.json scripts (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun) and offers them too. MCP SERVERS • Right-click any folder → "MCP Servers in this Folder…" to see the Model Context Protocol servers configured for that project — from .mcp.json, Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code. • See each server's command, transport, and environment keys at a glance, with secret values always hidden. • Pro brings your global and cross-editor servers (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor) together in one place. ALSO NEW • Per-column sorting in Column view, remembered per folder. • Folders now highlight when they contain recently changed files, so recent work is easy to spot. • Pinned items, quick new-text-file creation, notes on favorites, and many fixes and refinements throughout.

Version 1.5 — Git Status Badges & Claude Code Worktree Support GIT CHANGE BADGES Folders inside git repositories now display a teal badge showing the number of uncommitted changes. Badges appear everywhere — in the sidebar, and across all four content view modes (Column, Grid, List, and Gallery). Each badge is scoped to that specific folder, so you can instantly see exactly where changes live without opening a terminal. - Scoped counts: A "Services" folder with 2 changes shows "2", not the repo total - Efficient scanning: One git status call per repository, shared across all subfolders - Auto-refresh: Badges update automatically with a 2-minute cache CLAUDE CODE WORKTREE SUPPORT If you use Claude Code, you can now browse agent worktree sessions directly from the right-click menu. When Claude Code runs agents in isolated worktrees, their session history is now visible under a "Worktrees" section inside Claude Code History. Each worktree shows its sessions with the same resume and terminal integration you already use for regular sessions. CONTEXT MENU CLEANUP The Claude Code History context menu has been streamlined with a cleaner internal architecture, improving reliability across flat view, tree view, and group sections.

Pinned Items — Right-click any folder to pin files you access frequently. Pins are saved per folder so your most important files are always one click away. Claude Code History — Browse your Claude Code sessions directly from the sidebar. See session titles, dates, and git branches. Copy resume commands or open Terminal with one click. Show All Sessions — View your complete session history in a searchable, scrollable sheet when you have more than 25 sessions per project. Bug Fixes & Improvements — Improved session path matching, better macOS Tahoe compatibility, and various stability improvements.

- Claude Code History: View and resume your AI coding sessions directly from any project folder - Smart path copying: Copy paths formatted for AI tools with backtick escaping - Terminal integration: Open Terminal at any folder with resume commands ready - Toast notifications: Visual feedback when commands are copied - Performance: Faster folder loading and smoother navigation
