View and be able to demonstrate what a page looked like on a particular date
Be aware of every change to a competitor’s page / site
Runs locally, not a cloud service. Own your own data.
An archive is kept, including all changes to pages, images, style sheets and js
View a ‘living’ version of a historical page, not a screenshot
Switch between versions of the page to compare them
Export a historical page as image or collection of all of its files
Export the entire site, preserving all files as they were on a given date, or processed to make a browsable local copy of the site
What’s New:
Version 2.12.0
css and image files which were hosted externally (different domain to starting url) weren’t being archived and therefore pages weren’t being displayed in the archive browser correctly for those sites. Now fixed.
Better at finding images that use lazy loading.
Updates the selectable user-agent strings and adds more (in particular, Edge and some more mobile browsers)
Updates Paddle’s licensing framework to the latest Big Sur/M1 compatible version
Changes default setting for treating http:// links on the same domain (when starting with an https:// url). Now treats them as internal, which is probably what’s expected

What’s New:
Version 2.7.0: Some interface fixes:
In light mode, the sidebar background remained dark and the dark text wasn’t easy to read
In text fields, editing operations such as paste / undo etc weren’t working
Other minor fixes
Adds ability to sort website configs into folders
Change to the website deletion. Was giving multiple alerts because the button deletes the webarchive for the site as well as the configuration. Users used to be able to cancel either of these operations and continue with the other. However, this was confusing to users. Now a single warning is given and both things are deleted. (in fact three, because deleting the config also deletes the schedule from the system, if set up.)
