What's New in 0.9.6 Launch at Login

• You can now enable Launch at login from Settings so Sorta opens automatically when you sign in to your Mac.

Other Improvements

• Small polish to startup behavior so the app handles delayed account and access checks more gracefully.

Fixes and Stability

• Fixed an issue where Sorta could remain stuck on the Hi, there loading screen during launch or after signing in.

• Improved startup and authentication handling so temporary delays no longer leave the app blocked in an endless loading state.

What's New in 0.9.5 Projects Folder is now 'Workspace'

• Sorta now treats your main root as a workspace. A workspace has its own configuration, including path construction and hierarchy labels such as Year / Client / Project. You'll be asked to configure a path configuration every time you change workspace path. This is intended to streamline the process of labelizing your projects and keeping them sorted into an organized folder system when accessing them via Finder or cloud services.

Inflows are now Sorting Rules

• What used to be called inflows is now more clearly presented as Sorting Rules

• Sorting Rules help you define what files point to each folder and you can adjust this setup via the structure builder. You can now bring in different types of conditions and operators that help shape up what file you want to end up where. They are no longer limited to simple extension matching. Richer conditions including file type, size, name, source, tags, and date-based conditions. This makes sorting much more flexible and much easier to understand when building structures

Smarter Quick Sort

• Quick Sort now has more user-friendly review experience built with a list view, review multiple items at once and process them together

• Dragging files from Finder onto a project or into the project file browser can also launch a project-scoped Quick Sort modal

Better Project Creation and Import

• Create projects with label-aware paths based on your workspace setup

• Import existing folders into the right workspace location instead of leaving everything flat

• Generate a structure from an imported folder when Sorta detects a useful folder tree

• Review import conflicts before changes are applied

• Get clearer completion feedback after import finishes

Structure Sync

• Structure Sync is one of the biggest changes in this release. Structures are no longer just templates you set once when creating a project. They can now act as shared organization systems across all the projects that use them.

• When you edit a structure, those changes are synced across every linked project using that same structure. This makes structures far more reusable, helps repeated project setups stay aligned over time, and gives Sorta a much stronger foundation for evolving folder organization across an entire workspace.

• Brought along this feature is a conflicts tab/panel that will help you redirect files that are displaced via changes you bring to your structure, you'll be asked to resolve these changes before the changes you bring can be applied.

Quicklinks are now part of 'Bookmarks'

• Bookmarks are a more general way to collect resources alongside the files in a project

• They can point to things like Notion pages, Pinterest boards, deep links, and other project resources that are not stored as files in Finder

• They live with the project in the project dashboard and file browser experience, helping you keep files and linked resources together in one place

• All past quicklinks are now converted to Pinned Bookmarks which are bookmarks that are accessible via your project browser and project dahsboard just like it was previously with quicklinks.

Visual Media Gallery View

• The project dashboard file browser now includes a visual media gallery for images. This gives you a quicker way to preview visual assets directly inside the dashboard instead of having to open each file separately in Finder or through the quick look feature.

Other Improvements

• Drop a Finder folder anywhere in the project browser to begin importing it

• Cleaner create/import flows with less duplicated UI

• Better dismissal for the menu bar popover

• More consistent pending sorting behavior when new files arrive

• Improved Do Not Disturb behavior to suppress Quick Sort interruptions while you stay focused

• Clearer account-linked licensing flow and easier access to account actions from Settings

• A dedicated in-app trial modal for signed-in users using the 7-day free trial

Fixes and Stability

• Safer import execution with better rollback behavior if something fails mid-transfer

• Improved logging and workflow tracking around sorting and import actions

• Clearer conflict handling during structure changes and project import

• Better protection against invalid sorting-rule setups

• Continued polish to the desktop auth and startup flow
