https://getaktar.com/changelog/?platform=windows Every Aktar release, newest first: new features, improvements and fixes in the Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android apps for your own S3-compatible storage. en https://getaktar.com/changelog/0.5.1/ https://getaktar.com/changelog/0.5.1/ Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A quick follow-up to 0.5.0 that tightens how expiring uploads behave when a bucket's rules change. If you're on 0.3.0 or later, Aktar offers it automatically.

• Fixed: The hourly cleanup only deletes a file itself while the bucket still has Aktar's rules, the file is still there and it wasn't uploaded again under the same name. Otherwise it just clears the history entry. After Turn Off and Remove Rules, files already under tmp/ stay for good, in history too.
• Fixed: If a bucket's existing lifecycle rules can't be read completely, Aktar changes nothing instead of risking the bucket's other rules, and it checks the rules are really there after setting them up.
• Fixed: Files moved or uploaded into a tmp/{N}d/ folder only count as expiring while the bucket has Aktar's rules.
• Fixed: A rules check in a destination's settings no longer carries over to a different bucket, endpoint or region entered after it.
• Fixed: Setting up the rules asks first when tmp/{N}d/ folders already hold files, since the bucket would start deleting those too. The help for adding the rules by hand now names the rule IDs Aktar looks for.

In Aktar 0.5.0 you pick Delete after next to the destination, and the file is gone after 1, 7, 14 or 30 days without you lifting a finger.

• New: Delete after next to the destination picker in the menu bar: 1, 7, 14 or 30 days. Expiring files go under tmp/{N}d/ and the bucket deletes them itself, even when Aktar isn't running.
• New: One-click setup of the bucket's lifecycle rules from the menu bar or Settings → Destinations, leaving the bucket's other rules untouched. If the key can't change lifecycle rules, Aktar shows which ones to add in your provider's dashboard.
• New: Auto-delete can be turned off per destination, keeping or removing the bucket's rules.
• New: History, the Library and upload notifications show when an expiring file will be deleted.
• New: The local API takes expires= (in days) on uploads and returns expiresAt.

Drop a file on its panel, paste one, or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U anywhere to upload what you copied, and the link is on your clipboard. Destinations, the history, the bucket browser and the Raycast integration work the way they do on the Mac, and the keys stay in Windows Credential Manager. Get it from the download section.

• New: An upload panel in the notification area: drag and drop, paste files or images, or choose files
• New: A global shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U by default, that uploads what you copied from any app
• New: Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO or any S3-compatible storage, with several destinations and a connection test
• New: Upload history with search, thumbnails and previews of images, PDFs, text and Markdown, and a bucket browser for every folder and file
• New: Links as a plain URL, Markdown, HTML or your own template
• New: The same opt-in local API as the Mac app, for the Raycast extension
• New: Launch at sign-in, eight languages, light and dark mode
