1.16.8 · Published-post removal controls

Published entries can be removed from dripLine history and restored from Removed history. A separate confirmation offers deletion for saved Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon posts with valid connections and post IDs. Other connections show a platform link and explain the limitation. Only confirmed platform responses mark a post deleted; uploaded media is retained.

1.16.7 · Choose your TikTok account during connection

TikTok connections now always show its authorization screen instead of silently reusing an existing authorization. If a different account is returned during reconnect, a persistent retry screen lets you restart account selection.

1.16.6 · Reconnect accounts and play video previews

Manage Connections lists every connected account with its own Reconnect button. Reconnecting keeps saved labels and schedules, and checks that the platform returns the selected account. Published calendar posts open a preview with video playback. Composer tips use wider text and clearer wording.

1.16.4 · Planned channel cards

X and Google Business now have clear Coming soon cards. They are not enabled for connection or publishing. Existing availability, free beta and payments are unchanged.

1.16.3 · Explore dripLine before signing in

A public features, beta and future-pricing page now explains media tools, current customer network access and upload limits. No checkout or approval setting changes.

Explore features & pricing

1.16.2 · Clearer policies and software notices

Updated privacy information for storage, support and editing; copyright-reporting instructions; retained open-source notices; and clearer administrator shutoff limits. Free beta and your saved work stay unchanged.

Privacy · Copyright · Software notices

1.16.1 · Private partner tracker and clearer security checks

Administrators can track affiliate/partner contacts, manual referral observations, follow-up dates and notes, with search, CSV export and reversible archiving. No rewards, payouts or automatic messages are configured. Security checks now have hard time limits and show when the last completed scan belongs to an older deployment or an attempt did not finish. Posts, schedules, payments and provider approvals remain unchanged.

1.16.0 · Captions, framing and cover images

Video studio now accepts editable SRT captions, portrait/square/landscape framing with whole-picture or positioned crop, and a separate cover image with an optional headline. These use your device and preserve originals. Captions are entered by you; no automatic transcription service is added. Exports stop if browser rendering stalls. Cover images do not change platform thumbnails automatically. Payments and provider approvals are unchanged.

1.15.2 · Patched server conversion

A pinned, integrity-checked encoder replaces the outdated native build. Processing jobs stop when access is disabled, with checks during processing and before saving. The security panel now also checks official encoder releases. Browser editing and regular uploads remain independent. Saved work, payments and provider approvals are unchanged.

1.15.1 · Safer server conversion

Automatic server conversion now stays off when its encoder does not meet the verified patch policy. Browser editing, photos-to-video, existing media and ready-made MP4 uploads remain available. No payment, approval, post or schedule changes. A patched server encoder is being prepared.

1.15.0 · Photos to video

Turn 1–10 photos into a new MP4, reorder them, choose portrait/square/landscape and optionally add your own permitted audio. Pictures fit whole without cropping. Preview, then save privately to Media or download. Keep the tab visible during processing. Originals and posts stay untouched. No paid processing service, new social permissions or automatic publishing. See Help Center for limits and steps.

1.14.2 · Optional automatic audio lowering

Choose whether added audio becomes quieter during original sound. It runs on your device and reacts to any original sound, including background noise; it is not speech recognition. Preview before saving a new copy. The option starts unchecked and has its own administrator control. No paid processing service or change to posts and schedules.

1.14.1 · Compare post variations

My analytics now lets you link two posts, create an unscheduled draft variation, record your own results, archive/restore comparisons and export CSV. Publishing outcomes are shown separately from manually entered performance values. No automatic winner, new social permissions or paid analytics service. See Help Center for instructions.

1.14.0 · Add your audio and trim video

Choose your own local video and audio, trim, adjust both volumes, add audio timing and fades, preview, then save a new MP4 copy to Media or download it. Originals, posts and schedules stay untouched. This first editor supports 3-minute clips, a 1280-pixel longest side and 50 MB output. Keep the tab visible while processing. Regular 5 GB uploads are unchanged. No paid editing service or music library. See Help Center for steps and limits.

1.8.4 · Existing YouTube data cleanup

The YouTube cleanup also covers older disconnected connections, saved recovery references and team assignments. Revocation-token retention stays bounded even if another cleanup step is temporarily unavailable. No approval or payment settings changed.

1.8.3 · YouTube privacy and TikTok video checks

YouTube now requires a recorded privacy agreement, revokes authorization on disconnect and removes retained API data. YouTube descriptions no longer receive an automatic dripLine footer. TikTok uses the uploaded video’s measured duration. Payments remain disabled; provider review submissions and approval settings are unchanged.

1.8.2 · Pinterest privacy

Pinterest connections use local references, fetch board choices fresh, and keep local delivery confirmations. Pinterest is excluded from connected AI tools and the AI caption helper. This release does not confirm Pinterest access or change other networks’ approval settings. Payments remain disabled.

1.8.1 · Administrator AI activity

Security logging now includes administrator channel lookups and draft actions through connected AI tools. Saved draft IDs are recorded without captions or credentials. If required logging is unavailable, the administrator tool action is stopped. Ordinary customer activity remains excluded.

SMALL STEPS. A STEADY PRESENCE.

What's new in dripLine.

A clear record of what is here, what has been tested, and what comes next.

v1.16.5 · Free beta

Clearer Pinterest connection errors

October 26, 2026

When Pinterest rejects a request, dripLine shows safe rate-limit and retry details when the platform provides them. Private tokens and raw responses stay out of messages. This update adds no automatic publishing retries.

v1.13.2 · Free beta

Find your AI connection easily

October 23, 2026

Connect your AI now has its own main-menu shortcut and appears above the social account cards on Connections. Larger copy fields make setup easier to read. Workspace owners still approve connections through the existing draft-only authorization flow. No new access is granted by this update.

v1.13.1 · Free beta

Administrator feature controls

October 23, 2026

Choose global On/Off defaults, search an account for individual overrides, and use an emergency shutdown with a recorded reason. Restrictions are checked by the server and publishing worker. Saved work stays in place; overdue posts need review. Administrators also have an always-visible floating live-chat availability switch; signed-in customers see a clear online chat option. Planned editing and renewal controls remain labeled as planned. Security monitoring remains active. No payment activation or changes to provider approvals.

v1.12.6 · Free beta

Administrator security monitoring

October 23, 2026

Daily advisory checks using the npm registry directly, without requiring a command-line package manager on the hosting server, for this dripLine deployment, email alerts for findings and failed checks, and a readable administrator status panel. No automatic software installation, payment activation or changes to saved posts or provider approvals. Monitoring runs while the app is available; it is not an independent uptime monitor or malware scanner.

v1.12.4 · Security maintenance

Request parser security patch

October 23, 2026

Updated the request parser to address a malformed compressed-request crash. This maintenance release preserves existing posts, schedules, payments and provider approval settings.

v1.12.3 · Free beta

Clearer security monitoring

October 23, 2026

The administrator security log now includes failed password and authenticator checks without recording submitted email addresses, passwords or codes. Repeated failures are sampled to limit log flooding; identity-provider logs remain necessary for a full investigation. Existing posts, schedules and free-beta payment settings are preserved.

v1.12.2 · Security maintenance

Verify the patched Node.js runtime

The minimum supported Node.js 24 version is now 24.22.1. An administrator-only runtime check reports the running version and flags disabled TLS certificate verification. Hosting must actually supply the patched runtime; changing the requirement alone does not install Node.js. Payments and provider approvals are unchanged.

v1.12.1 · Free beta

More helpful support and account controls

Ticket email updates, private screenshots, unread markers, category and priority filters, and resolution feedback.
Administrators can find a linked customer account, review recent issue references and request secure password recovery. Existing confirmation safeguards remain.
Rename connections on every platform, with stable account references and schedules.
Free My analytics statistics summarize existing workspace records without collecting social engagement.
Account settings include email-change requests, an optional contact number and optional customer authenticator protection. Administrator protection remains required. No SMS charges.

The guide explains these features. Its public content link is versioned so returning visitors receive the updated instructions. Email service acceptance does not confirm inbox delivery. Payments and provider approvals are unchanged.

v1.11.0 · Free beta

Support tickets, business statistics and a Help Center

Open a separate support ticket for each issue and follow the conversation inside dripLine.
Administrators can assign tickets, set priority and status, and keep private internal notes. Earlier support conversations remain available. Ticket email notifications are not included in this release.
An administrator-only analytics dashboard summarizes account registrations, recorded sign-ins, publishing outcomes, media storage and support workload. Customer accounts are separated from tests and internal accounts.
A searchable Help Center starts with 26 customer topics and a printable guide. Administrator instructions are available inside the signed-in Help Center.

Website visits and social engagement are not collected by this dashboard. Payments and provider approval settings are unchanged.

v1.9.2 · Free beta

Your posts, your branding choice

Include dripLine branding starts checked. Uncheck it to remove our footer from your post.
Your choice is remembered for future new posts. Existing posts keep their saved setting.
Previews and character limits reflect your choice. TikTok and YouTube never receive added branding.

v1.9.1 · Free beta

One media library, easier cleanup

Photos and videos share 50 GB of private R2 storage per workspace when R2 is configured.
Existing files move after a verified copy; drafts and scheduled posts keep their attachments.
Select multiple unused files and delete them together, with confirmation and protection for active attachments.
A clearer storage meter and amber warning replace the separate 100 MB warning.

v1.8.0 · Free beta

Security and AI connections

October 21, 2026

Current policy: dripLine is free during beta. The final 60 days begin at the confirmed public service milestone: at least three of Meta, Pinterest, YouTube and TikTok approved and usable by customers, with dripLine service available. Payments remain disabled. No public promotional offers apply. Older entries below are release history; this policy supersedes earlier timing and offers.

Claude and Grok have dedicated draft-connector setup instructions.
Stronger sign-in limits, outgoing connection checks and password safety checks.
Authenticator sign-in is available for customers and required for app administrators.

v1.7.1 · Free beta

Owner forms stay put

October 20, 2026

Background refresh preserves selected accounts, readiness confirmations and account controls on the Plan screen. Account benefits require an explicit account choice and confirmation.

v1.7.0 · Free beta

Future plan details

October 20, 2026

This update replaces the earlier promotion and transition terms described in older entries below. No provider approvals are confirmed by this release, and this update does not start the countdown.

$9.99 monthly or $74.99 yearly: one workspace, eight connected social accounts and two users.
App-owner-only controls manage account benefits without collecting identity documents or purchasing a verification service.

v1.7.0 · Free beta

A simpler way to bring your AI

October 20, 2026

Connections now guides ChatGPT setup, copies the address and instructions with visible confirmation, checks connection status, and offers a first-draft prompt.
New AI connections are independent of browser sign-in and renew automatically, with 15-minute access tokens, a 90-day inactivity limit and a one-year maximum. A one-time reconnection is required for older grants; permissions are not silently extended.
One-use refresh tokens, replay revocation, account checks and password-reset revocation protect the longer-lived authorization. Disconnect one or all AI connections while keeping drafts.
Google/YouTube channel metadata is excluded from the AI connector. Ordinary YouTube features remain available in dripLine.
Draft-only access and explicit human review before scheduling remain required. Free beta and future pricing are unchanged.

The owner completed a real ChatGPT connection and created one Bluesky draft in v1.6.0. The new expiry and security behavior is verified with automated time-controlled tests; a public directory listing is still being prepared, with no approval claimed.

v1.6.0 · Free beta

Bring YOUR AI: drafts for your review

October 20, 2026

Make your AI work for you. Bring YOUR AI. Create posts in dripLine. Review them before they go out. The better drip.

A custom MCP connector lets compatible AI services list your connected channels and send text/link drafts to one workspace you own.
Up to 30 drafts per batch and 100 submissions per workspace per UTC day. Your own AI service generates the writing; its plan requirements and charges still apply.
AI access cannot approve, schedule, publish, delete or edit existing posts, or read existing post contents and social credentials. You must review and explicitly approve AI drafts inside dripLine before scheduling.
Access expires with the original sign-in, up to seven days, and can be revoked in Connections. Your drafts are kept.
Automated tests exercised sign-in authorization, 30-draft creation, safe retries, revocation and review requirements with a test client. Compatibility with individual AI services still requires a real connection test.
Includes clearer feedback choices and a cleared form with a dedicated email-confirmation screen after signup. Free beta and future-plan terms remain unchanged.

Setup, limits and privacy details

v1.5.0 · Free beta

Mastodon connections

October 20, 2026

Other servers, video and direct messages are not supported in this first release.
Private credentials, shared request limits and duplicate-post safeguards are included. Automated and interface checks passed; a real-account publishing test is still pending.
Free beta and future-plan terms remain unchanged.

Confirmation messages stay visible inside open dialogs.
Reviewed save, invitation, review and confirmation actions show a waiting label and prevent repeated clicks while working.

v1.4.3 · Free beta

dripLine on your home screen

October 19, 2026

Add dripLine to your iPhone or Android home screen and it now shows the dripLine drip with the name “dripLine”.

v1.4.2 · Free beta

Retry and delete failed posts

October 19, 2026

A failed post now has Retry: it goes out again to the same channel right away, as long as that account is still connected.
Delete any post that was never published (failed, draft, scheduled and more) from the Queue; dripLine asks first and never touches anything already on a platform.

v1.4.1 · Free beta

Housekeeping for search engines

October 19, 2026

This page now has a description and a canonical address.
app.dripline.tech now has a robots.txt and a sitemap listing its public pages.
The community map data is no longer stored in shared caches.

v1.4.0 · Free beta

Image descriptions, Bluesky video and caption templates

October 19, 2026

Add an image description (alt text) to a photo; dripLine sends it to Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest and shows each network’s limit.
Big videos are shrunk to fit automatically, keeping their shape, with progress and the final size shown.
Post videos to Bluesky.
Caption templates: save sign-offs, hashtag groups, calls to action and caption snippets, then insert them with one click.
First comments on Facebook and Instagram are waiting on Meta approval; channels that need it say so.

v1.3.5 · Free beta

Clickable cards, feedback and a safety net

October 17, 2026

Click or tab to the Scheduled posts, Ideas in drafts or Connected channels card to open Queue, Drafts or Connections.
💧 Feedback is always one click away: suggest a feature or report a problem, with an optional screenshot.
dripLine now asks before you leave the composer with unsaved text or media.

v1.3.4 · Free beta

A new post footer

October 17, 2026

Posts to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Pinterest now end with “🇺🇸💧 dripLine | Your Social Media Post Organizer. Put some drip in your feed: dripLine.tech”.

“Get started free” on dripline.tech now opens the create-account form directly.
The sign-in page shows the current version.

v1.3.0 · Free beta

Team management and planning

October 2026

Team page. Invite people by email; new people can create an account and join in one flow. See everyone, change roles, remove people, and resend, revoke or copy pending invitations.
Teams with their own channels. Create teams such as “Short form team” or “YouTube team”, add people and give each team channels. People and channels can be on several teams. Members on a team see and post only to that team’s channels; the owner always sees everything.
Week view and filters. The calendar has Month and Week, filters for status (draft, awaiting approval, scheduled, published) and network, and an optional US holidays & awareness days overlay.
Tags and campaigns. Colored chips on posts, a filter beside Channels, and chips in the week view.
A caption for each network. Write a different caption for any selected network; the shared caption is the default.
Live previews. See a mock-up of the post on every selected network with its character limit.
Request approval from a specific person. They get an email and see it under Waiting for me, with a count.
Welcome email with next steps after you confirm a new account.
Enhance. An AI caption helper (spelling, shorten, fit to network, tone, call to action or question), with a daily allowance per workspace. It appears once it is switched on for dripLine.

v1.2.2 · Free beta

Invitations by email

October 14, 2026

When email is set up for dripLine, inviting a teammate on the Team page emails them from dripLine with your workspace name, who invited them, their role and a Join workspace button. The Team page confirms “Invite emailed”, or explains clearly if the email could not be sent; the invitation link always works and can still be copied. Pending invitations can be emailed again. Invitation emails are rate limited per workspace.

v1.2.1 · Free beta

Your team, right where you left it

October 14, 2026

Signing in now reopens the business workspace you used last, so teammates land in their shared team workspace instead of their empty personal one. Saving a workspace name confirms it and always shows the saved name, even during a background refresh. Your personal workspace is one click away in the workspace selector.

v1.2.0 · Free beta

Say more. Share one link.

October 14, 2026

Four new tools for planning and sharing together.

First comment. Add an optional first comment in the post editor. dripLine posts it right after your post publishes: as a comment on LinkedIn and as a reply on Bluesky. Each channel shows the comment’s status. If a comment fails, your post still counts as published. Facebook, Instagram and YouTube comments need extra platform permissions that dripLine has not been approved for yet.
Hashtags & snippets. Save named hashtag groups and caption snippets for your workspace, then insert them into a caption with one click.
Team notes. Discuss any draft or scheduled post in a private thread with author and time. Queue cards show how many notes a post has. Notes are never published.
Link in bio. Create a free, phone-friendly page at app.dripline.tech/l/your-handle with your title, picture and links, and optionally your recent published posts. See how many times each link was opened.
New tips explain each feature. Hide any tip with one click.

Existing permissions, upload limits and platform approval restrictions are unchanged. Billing remains off.

v1.1.1 · Free beta

A calmer sign-in

October 13, 2026

Sign-in waits briefly through a server restart instead of immediately asking you to try again. Buttons show when a sign-in or account request is working. Free beta still has no countdown or payment collection.

v1.1.0 · Free beta

Plan once. Work together.

October 13, 2026

Upload one Excel planner or CSV for your connected channels. Preview dates, captions and channel compatibility before saving drafts or scheduling. Reusing the same row IDs protects against duplicate imports.

Reusable post templates, hashtag groups and links.
Private recovery copies for unfinished posts.
Select compatible channels together.
Move calendar dates with confirmation, or open a post to change its time.
Business workspaces with editors, approvers, assignments, comments and review requests. Share an email-bound invitation link with your teammate; no invitation email is sent automatically.
Bulk media upload and a visible storage meter.
Saved account details with an optional, unchecked product-email choice.
An optional setup guide introducing Matching Sox Tools and Yard Socket.
A small star opens American historical moments and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Phone navigation keeps every section within reach.

Editors prepare drafts; owners and approvers can schedule. Approving a draft does not publish it. Existing upload/storage limits and platform approval restrictions still apply. Billing remains off, and there is no beta countdown.

v1.0.5 · Free beta

LinkedIn photos and videos

October 13, 2026

Schedule one photo or one MP4 video to your connected LinkedIn personal profile. Photo uploads are prepared automatically. The composer explains file limits and suggested frame sizes before you schedule.

dripLine waits for LinkedIn to process your attachment before publishing and keeps the required dripLine footer. Videos are limited to 50 MB. Company Pages and multiple-photo posts are not supported yet. Both approved live photo and video delivery tests passed and were viewed on LinkedIn.

v1.0.4 · Free beta

Clearer icons

October 13, 2026

Recognizable single-color social logos replace the old letter and symbol placeholders. Navigation icons are consistent, sharper and easier to see.

v1.0.3 · Free beta

Easier photo uploads

October 13, 2026

Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP photo. dripLine prepares a smaller JPG copy automatically, using white backing where needed and padding instead of cropping. Check the preview before scheduling.

A new “Where this post can go” checklist explains which selected channels support your attachment. You can remove incompatible selections in one click; no channel is removed automatically. LinkedIn photo/video posting and Facebook video posting are not built into dripLine yet. YouTube and TikTok require a video.

v1.0.2 · Free beta

See what is here and what is next

October 12, 2026

Connections now includes Threads and Bluesky as “Coming soon.” Rumble is marked “Under review” while we check whether suitable automatic posting access is available without an additional service fee.

The cards distinguish connected accounts, connections available to you and unfinished channels. Planned channels cannot be connected yet and have no promised release date.

v1.0.1 · Free beta

Private beta connections

October 12, 2026

Invited beta accounts can now connect selected social channels through the normal customer screens. These accounts keep their own private workspace and do not receive administrator rights.

A “Private beta access” label identifies invited channels. Each social platform’s own testing restrictions still apply; this does not mean public platform approval has been granted.

v1.0 · Free beta

Your first publishing workspace

October 12, 2026

Create an account and use dripLine’s available features for free while we work out the kinks. You may encounter bugs, and some features are still coming soon.

Available in this release

Private accounts with email confirmation and sign-in.
Drafts, a media library, post previews, a publishing queue and calendar.
Schedule changes, cancellation, pause controls, delivery status and workspace export.
Picture-size and phone-orientation guides.
Scheduled publishing runs on the server, so your browser can be closed.

Social connection status

Facebook scheduling, private YouTube delivery and private TikTok delivery have passed tests with owner or test accounts. Instagram and LinkedIn are connected for testing; their publishing tests remain.

Public customer connections still depend on platform approval. You can create an account and organize drafts now. Channels that show “Coming soon” cannot yet be connected by customers. Pinterest is awaiting access approval. Threads and Bluesky are not included in v1.0.

Beta limits

Video uploads: up to 50 MiB. Image uploads: under 10 MiB, with stricter limits where a channel requires them. Media storage: 100 MiB per workspace. Up to 5,000 queued posts per connected account. Shared service safeguards also apply; the composer explains supported formats.

Free during beta

The proposed 90-day trial has been replaced with an open free beta. No payment information is required. The current beta policy is shown above.

Next improvements · Planned

More testing. Clearer connections.

Instagram photo and LinkedIn text scheduling have now passed live tests. Our next priorities are Facebook video support, public platform approvals, Pinterest setup and phone usability. Threads is the next new channel planned. Bluesky is a later addition.

These are plans, not released features or promised approval dates. Billing comes last.
