Updated yt-dlp
[NEW] macOS App
We have introduced a new macOS app that is built using the GNOME (GTK/libadwaita) version of Parabolic. It automatically bundles yt-dlp, deno, ffmpeg and other Parabolic dependencies.
[NEW] Windows Portable App
We have re-introduced a portable Windows build of Parabolic. This build works a little differently than previous versions in that it's the same exe as the installer version but requires the --portable flag be passed to the .exe file for it to run in portable mode.
For convenience, we have added a .bat file to the portable download that can be ran that does it for you already. Alternatively, once the portable version is extracted to the location of your choice, you can create a shortcut for the .exe and specify the --portable flag in the arguments of the shortcut's properties.
The portable version does not encrypt the application's app.db database. Credentials saved in the portable version will be saved in a plaintext database. Use at your own risk.
This is the first beta release for the 2026.4.1 series. This release just contains some bug fixes.
