Makro 1.0.1 - more privacy controls and bug fixes.

Privacy
- New installs now default to Local AI Only - AI rewrite works on your device out of the box(Ollama required), no cloud requests unless you opt in
- New privacy step during first-run setup so you choose your analytics preferences upfront
- Analytics split into two levels you control independently in Settings > Privacy Controls:
- Basic: anonymous aggregate counts (how many macros, how often you expand)
- Detailed (off by default): which features you use (theme, AI provider, clipboard history, etc.)
- Updated privacy policy with full transparency on what each level includes

Fixes
- Encryption diagram now readable on dark backgrounds
- Search overlay closes properly after deleting a macro
- Security improvements

Makro 1.0 - the free, private text expander with AI rewrite and encrypted sync.

After an extensive beta, Makro 1.0 brings together everything you need to stop retyping the same text:

Smart Macros
- Conditional placeholders: show different text based on website, time of day, language, or OS
- Macro variants: one hotword, multiple bodies - automatically selected by context rules
- Tab stops: press Tab to jump between editable fields after expansion
- Enhanced prompts: dropdowns, number inputs, and multi-line prompts batched into a single form

AI Smart Rewrite (free for everyone)
- 25 cloud rewrites/month - no account required
- Rewrite selected text directly on the page with the inline overlay
- Choose from formal, casual, grammar fix, shorten, expand, or bullets
- Runs on Makro's own infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers AI) - your text is never sent to third-party AI providers
- Or use Ollama for fully local, offline AI processing

25+ Dynamic Placeholders
- Dates, math expressions, auto-incrementing counters, regex transforms
- Form filling: Tab, Enter, and auto-fill from clipboard
- Cursor positioning, prompted input, nested macros, and more

Encrypted Cloud Sync (Pro/Premium)
- AES-256-GCM encryption - your macros are encrypted on your device before transmission
- Multi-device sync with automatic conflict resolution
- Zero-knowledge architecture - even Makro's servers cannot read your data

Works Everywhere
- Reliable expansion in Zendesk, Gmail, Notion, Google Docs, Freshdesk, and all major web editors
- Firefox and Chrome/Edge/Brave/Arc support
- Search overlay (Ctrl+Shift+Space) to find and insert macros from any page
- Right-click context menu with folder structure, favorites, and recent macros

Security and Privacy
- Independent security audit completed with all findings resolved
- No ads, no third-party analytics, no behavioral tracking
- Local AI Only mode keeps all AI processing on your device
- Auto-clear clipboard wipes sensitive entries after a configurable delay

Quality of Life
- Fuzzy search with relevance ranking across all categories
- Clipboard history with source tracking
- Usage statistics with heatmap
- Bulk select, move, and delete
- Import from TextExpander, Espanso, aText, AutoHotkey, PhraseExpress, Alfred, Typinator, ProKeys, Text Blaze, Auto Text Expander, and Beeftext

Bug fixes

Makro v0.9.15 — March 9, 2026
New: Smart Search
Search now finds macros even with partial or fuzzy matches and ranks results by relevance. Titles and hotwords are weighted higher so the best match appears first.

Bug Fixes
Fixed: Inserting macros from search overwrites content in rich editors — Using the search overlay to insert a macro in editors like Zendesk or CKEditor no longer replaces your existing text.
Fixed: Inline AI rewrite replaces wrong text in Firefox — The rewrite feature in CKEditor5 on Firefox now correctly replaces only the selected text.
Fixed: Untitled macros appearing too high in search results
Makro v0.9.14 — March 4, 2026
Bug Fixes
Fixed: AI rewrite quota showing incorrect count across devices — Monthly usage is now tracked consistently, so your remaining rewrites display the correct number on all devices.
Fixed: AI quota counter not updating after a rewrite — The counter now refreshes immediately instead of requiring you to reopen the popup.
Fixed: Embedding generation failing for large macro libraries — Users with 600+ macros can now generate search embeddings without the process stalling or erroring out.

Smart AI suggestion — Pro and Premium users running local AI get a prompt to try Makro Cloud for easier, zero-setup rewrites.

Fixed:

Pack detail button — the install/upgrade button now stays visible at the bottom of pack previews instead of scrolling away.
Scrolling improvements — onboarding, pack browsing, and the genre grid no longer overflow or cut off content.
