PIN Unlock & Settings Backup

Added

  • Export Settings: one-click download of all user-configurable settings as a JSON file. Runtime state (session timer, active screen-share flag) is excluded.
  • Import Settings: restore a previously exported JSON backup - unknown or runtime keys are ignored; popup reloads automatically after a successful import.

2.0.2

April 21, 2026

Context Menu, Search Blur & UX Improvements

Added
  • Context menu toggle: right-click the extension icon → "Enable Privacy Mode" / "Disable Privacy Mode" - zero popup interaction required.
  • WhatsApp search results blurred: when the search panel is open, result rows are now blurred alongside the sidebar, preventing chat names and message previews from leaking. Hover-reveal works in search results too.
Improved
  • Settings panel scroll fix: the settings header is now fixed and does not scroll away on shorter screens.
2.0.1

Notification blur & Live session tracking

Added
  • Notification blur: hides message content in browser push notifications while privacy mode is active - title replaced with "New WhatsApp Message".
  • Live session tracking: "Protected today" timer in the Home popup shows cumulative privacy-on time for the current day, live-ticking every second.
