Changelog

0.9.0

AppleBlox 0.9.0 is a massive update spanning 200+ commits. It brings multi-account management, a redesigned home page, game history tracking, Bloxstrap theme support, and hundreds of fixes and improvements across the entire app.

New Features

Multi-Account System

  • Add and manage multiple Roblox accounts within AppleBlox.
  • Three ways to log in: auto-detect from the Roblox app, browser login, or manual cookie entry.
  • One-click account switching with automatic login handling.
  • Accounts are validated on startup — expired or invalid sessions are clearly indicated.
  • Credentials are stored securely in the macOS Keychain with a consent prompt before first access.

Quickplay Home Page

  • The Home page has been redesigned to show your recently played games and full game history.
  • Launch games directly from the home page without going through Roblox.
  • Rejoin your last server instantly using the sidebar Rejoin button.

Structured Debug Reports

  • Debug bundle export now includes a machine-readable summary.txt with system info, active settings, and recent errors.
