Changelog

Every version that reached the Chrome Web Store, newest first, with the date it went live. InstaDesk launched on 29 July 2026 and shipped seven releases to users in its first month. Builds that were superseded before they were uploaded are not listed here: nobody received them, so counting them would overstate the pace. From 3.0.0 on, the date is the first day the store's own report shows people running that version.

3.0.2 — 22 September 2026

• Pro is $1.99 a month: one plan, cancel anytime from inside the extension. Posting, stories, real Instagram audio and downloads stay free.

3.0.1 — 20 September 2026

• Every answer from Ask ends with three follow-up questions you can tap.
• The last free answer says the next one is Pro, and the upgrade panel names the question Pro would answer.

3.0.0 — 13 September 2026

• Ask: a small window over Instagram, opened from the orb in the corner or Ctrl+Shift+K, that answers from your own record and lays out plans, such as a week of posts from a folder of files, with one button to run them.
• Autopilot, off until you read and tick a risk notice: it writes replies to comments on your posts and to your DMs in your voice, within caps fixed in the code, can like comments on your posts, and writes everything it does to a log.
• Memory: one record of your account — followers by day, every post's numbers, who left, what you queued, the sounds in your feed — kept a year on your computer, with export and forget. A Today card at the top of the menu reads from it.
• Ask, Autopilot and captions run on InstaDesk's own model through InstaDesk's relay, which passes the text to the model provider and keeps none of it; with your own AI key they go to your provider instead. Free uses are now counted per Instagram account on that relay, so a reinstall does not reset them. The privacy policy lists what the relay receives.
• A feedback link in the menu, and a question that gets no answer gives its free use back.

2.0.0 — 30 August 2026

• Account insights tries four ways to read a profile before giving up, and says which one failed.
• A full report on any public account, read up to 250 posts deep: posts per month, engagement against accounts of a similar size, the format that earns more, best hours and top posts.
• Grow account rebuilt as a dashboard: start and stop at the top, today's progress on plain meters, and a 24-hour chart of what ran.
• Scheduling into the hours you actually post, and a caption per post from a spreadsheet.
• Pinned posts: pin any photo or reel to a shelf on your computer and save them all in one press.

1.6.4 — 27 August 2026

• The upgrade panel now reads your real remaining free uses instead of a stale trial flag, so it no longer tells people who have run out that nothing has started.
• Unfollower tracking, bot detection and follower export became free to open — a use is only spent when you actually run the scan or the export.
• Checkout failures are visible instead of silent.
• The toolbar icon opens InstaDesk, focusing the Instagram tab you already have open rather than adding a second one.

1.6.3 — 25 August 2026

• The themed like button: a per-theme glyph and burst across all ten layered themes — a star on Galaxy, a coin on Money, a leaf on Sage Garden.

1.6.0 — 25 August 2026

• Eleven themes in three collections, restyling posts, menus and dialogs. It runs in your browser only: nobody else sees it and your account is untouched.
• Downloads made free.
• Media overlay fixes — the download and audio buttons now follow the visible carousel slide instead of only the first.

1.4.1 — 17 August 2026

• Grow account: likes and follows on hashtags, checked against your account size first, with visible caps, an explicit consent step and every action written to an activity log.
• Hashtag fit, showing which tags an account your size can realistically place in.
• The locale fix that made the toolkit work on non-English Instagram.

1.2.4 — 13 August 2026

• Store listing localised into 53 languages.

1.2.2 — 11 August 2026

• First-run setup retries until it succeeds, instead of failing silently on a slow page.
• Locale-independent navigation, so the sidebar entry is found regardless of interface language.
• Command palette, and containment so InstaDesk's keystrokes never leak into Instagram's.

1.0.0 — 29 July 2026

• First public release. Post photos, carousels, reels and stories from a desktop browser, schedule them, download media in full quality, and reuse reel audio.

What is not on this list

Several builds were finished and then superseded before they were uploaded — 1.1.2 to 1.2.1, 1.2.5 to 1.3.2, 1.5.2, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.6.5 and 2.1.0 among them. They are not listed because no user ever ran them. The entries above are the releases that actually reached people, and the dates are the dates they went live rather than the dates they were built.
