navi status

navi

• Added a short email after each navi update that sums up what changed, with an unsubscribe link at the bottom if you'd rather not get them
• Changed requests to tell you why one didn't go through, like hitting the weekly limit or asking for something that's already been requested
• Changed new movies and shows to play in their original language by default, so a film doesn't start in a dub you didn't pick
• Changed the status page to show when an update is in progress, so planned downtime doesn't look like an outage
• Changed the changelog to show the year on releases from past years
• Changed the status page to say why navi can't be reached, like its internet being down or its tunnel being off

navi

• Celebrated navi's first birthday: one year since navi was created on October 13, 2025
• Added more automatic checks after every update, so a broken connection between apps (like requests not reaching the downloader) gets caught right away
• Added a guard that pauses downloads before the media drive runs out of space
• Changed the photo library to have more memory, so it stays responsive during big uploads

• Changed how weekly updates are run, so each one is watched live from start to finish

navi

navi

• Added automatic deploys for resonance, so new versions go live within minutes of being finished
• Added two-way syncing between kioku and MyAnimeList, so list changes show up in both places

navi

navi

• Changed requests so a show or movie that hasn't come out yet says when it airs or releases, instead of looking stuck on "Searching"

navi

• Changed the dashboard to run with far fewer permissions, so a problem on the friends site can't reach the rest of navi
• Added a one-step release process, so updates go out the same careful way every time

navi

• Added nightly backups for Jellyfin and the databases behind music, manga, books and requests, so they can be restored cleanly if something breaks

navi

navi

• Changed how the password vault is reached, removing a part that could fail at startup

navi

• Added a changelog to the status page that lists what changed in every update. Tap the version number on status.brooksjackson.com to open it

navi

• Fixed "Last seen" on the home dashboard showing people as just online when they weren't

navi

• Fixed the What's new popup opening before the page had finished loading. It now waits until everything is on screen

navi

• Changed sign-in on the friends, photos, books and manga sites to last a lot longer, so you won't be asked for a login code nearly as often
• Changed What's new into a popup that shows up once after an update, instead of a card that sat on the page

navi

• Fixed the What's new card disappearing after small fix-only updates

navi

• Fixed streaming away from home: Jellyfin now picks the right quality for an outside connection, which should mean less buffering
• Added an extra nightly backup, so photos and everything else on navi are safer if something breaks
• Added the current navi version to the status page, so you can see when an update has gone out

navi

• Added automatic checks after every update that catch broken sites and services early, usually before anyone notices

navi

• Added notifications, so you hear when something you asked for is ready to watch or read
