What’s new
Version 3.0.1 · Updated October 26, 2026
Hi there! We're back with support for iPhone Duo, plus some housekeeping and quality updates. Want to know more? Ready for iPhone Duo Slug now feels at home on iPhone Duo. Folded, it works just like you're used to. Unfolded, your links, analytics, and settings spread out side by side. Slug keeps your place as you open and close your phone, even mid-sentence. Settings, Front and Center Settings now has its own tab. Collections, Server Overview, and link editing open right inside History, so you can browse your library without juggling pop-up windows. Turn Sideways Slug now works in landscape on iPhone. Connection Log View the latest connections and attempts Slug makes to your YOURLS server. See what failed, when, and why. Then clear the log, or copy and share it. Shared logs leave out your credentials and link URLs. Refresh Status Slug now shows the last time it connected to your server, or when a connection was attempted or failed. If something goes wrong, your saved links stay right where they are, with a quick Retry and a shortcut to the Connection Log. Newly Designed Widgets Somehow, widgets were overlooked in the last update. Apologies! The Links, Statistics, QR Code, and Collections widgets now match Slug's redesign and stay in sync with your library. You can open a link's destination or copy it with a separate tap. All the...Small Things • Drag a link in from Safari to start a new slug, or drag your short links out to other apps • New keyboard shortcuts for creating, refreshing, saving, and editing • Slug asks before throwing away unsaved changes • The QR scanner works in any orientation and picks the right camera on iPhone Duo • App Lock keeps your place while Slug is locked That's all the updates we have today. We'll be back soon, but until then, happy linking!
