v11.5.0: The Trust Update
Latest update, November 2, 2026
Know where your study work is saved and keep it safe, see what Re:Vault is in plain words, and two small reasons to study each school day: a streak that never counts weekends, and a garden everyone grows together.
Added
- School-Day Streak. Your start page counts school days in a row with a finished focus session or 5 flashcards reviewed. Weekends, days you mark off and summer break never count against it. Every 5 school days you earn a freeze (up to 2) that fills in a missed day by itself. It stays on this device and in your backups, never shows to anyone else, and you can hide it in Settings > Study and focus > Study stats.
- Start with everyone. Turn it on and your focus timer starts at :00 and :30, together with everyone else studying. Join a block that started up to 5 minutes ago, or wait for the next one. Nobody sees who you are. Settings > Study and focus > Focus timer.
- Commons garden. A shared garden that grows from everyone's finished focus minutes each week. See how it's doing on your start page, in the Island and on the status page. Turn it off in Settings > Layout and start page.
- Pin a tool. Use the pin on any card on the Tools page to put that tool first on your start page. Take it off from the tile's menu.
- Repeating Calendar events. Add events to the month, one time or repeating every day, on weekdays, every week, every 2 weeks or every month, with an optional end date. Skip one day of a repeat or remove all of them. Events stay on your device and in your backups.
- Where your saves live. Settings > Account and backup > On this device shows what's saved in this browser, which backups include it, how much room it takes, and what can erase it. Ask to keep my saves asks your browser not to clear Re:Vault when it runs low on space.
- For IT and schools. A short page that explains what Re:Vault is, what it does, the addresses it uses and how to reach us. Find it from "What is this?" on your start page or at the bottom of Re:Vault's pages.
- Accessibility statement. A page that says what works with a keyboard, touch, zoom and High Contrast, how we check it, what still has gaps, and how to tell us when something is hard to use. It's linked from Settings and Help.
Changed
- Restore from a file adds instead of replacing. Your work in this browser is kept and combined with the file. Re:Vault tells you what the file has before it adds anything, and the same file twice adds nothing twice. Bringing back a cloud backup combines the same way.
- Quick-hide settings moved. Tab title and icon, the quick hide key, about:blank, Hide addresses and "Always ask before leaving" are now in Settings > Privacy and safety > Advanced: quick-hide, folded closed. Your choices are kept, and search still finds them. "Warn before closing" in Browsing and tabs now only asks when 2 or more tabs are open.
- Offline start page. When you're offline, the start page says your study tools still work and hides the parts that need a connection until it's back.
- Clear site data keeps your files. It no longer removes music you added, GIF and video wallpapers, Linux machines, Study Helper chats or desktop files. A new row, Delete my uploads and files, removes those when you want to.
- Welcome back. If this browser was cleared and you're signed in with a backup, Re:Vault offers to bring your saves back, once. Signed out, once you have real work saved, the start page sometimes reminds you to download a save file.
- The About and Tools pages say it plainly: flashcards and study mode are free, with no daily limits.
- Opening the tool you pinned to the start page counts toward your Quests, like opening it from Tools.
Fixed
- "Not saved" instead of silence. If your browser is out of space, Notes, Flashcards, Markdown, To-do and Citations say "Not saved" next to what you're typing, so you know to free up room.
- Calendar's Add days and Days between could be a day off in US time zones. They now count from your own day.
Privacy
- Study Helper's pass stays on your device. Cloud backups no longer include the Study Helper's daily pass, its downloaded models or its speed check. Copies already saved on our server have been cleaned too.
- How long we keep things. The privacy page has one table for every kind of data: where it's kept, how long, and how to delete it.
- The Commons garden only adds your finished focus minutes to one weekly total. No names, and nothing about your browser is kept on our server. Turning it off stops sending minutes.
- The School-Day Streak and Calendar events are never sent anywhere except in a backup you make.
Accessibility
- The For IT and schools page and the accessibility statement always show plain text, even with Hide addresses at its strongest level, so screen readers can read them.
- The quick-hide group opens with Enter or Space and opens by itself when a link or search leads to one of its settings.
