I wish that when I click a link inside Freeter, it opens in my default browser on my PC, instead of Freeter's pop-up.

Opening in own pop-up window allows to share the session data between the source page and the target page.

If it opens the link in the browser app, then there will be session data inconsistency. For example, when you logged in as X in Freeter and logged in as Y in Browser, then opening a link in the default browser will cause unwanted behavior.

Restore database

Which backup/restore options do you mean? Currently there are no such features. However this can be done manually this way: https://community.freeter.io/post/31

Sorry if this is a noob question but... how the hell can I search here? I literally can't see any icon, text, input area anywhere. Thanks

Overscroll for align elements

dryn07 — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:50:28 GMT

Currently, overscroll is not applicable at all, making it very difficult to place elements next to each other, as they automatically jump wherever they please. It would be great if the app allowed overscroll, or/and even the zoom option, so that elements could be viewed all at once and can be aligned (or maybe it is just me who did not find the way?)

Option to change the gap size between elements

dryn07 — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:28:05 GMT

The current spacing between elements is either nonexistent or excessive, with no flexibility to adjust. I'd appreciate the ability to customize this spacing, or alternatively, have 2-3 preset options to reduce it. Adjacent elements currently blend together, yet the minimum available spacing is too large.

Syncing Capabilities

I would also be happy if the portable version saved all data to its own folder, so the entire app could be used from the cloud on multiple machines.

Portable version is not portable?

dryn07 — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:58:47 GMT

Hi, I downloaded the portable version but every settings are saved to local computer and not the app folder. What is the way to make the app fully portable? Thanks.

Back up?

MaxiMax — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 19:14:48 GMT

[ASAP] Memory Saver - Workflow becomes inactive after

earlyfreeter — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 01:25:17 GMT

@alex Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I'm using multiple projects because I'm a very heavy user of Freeter. I have like 4 projects that I actively use throughout the whole day.

Opening 2 Freeter Windows

SpdPnd98 — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 00:44:01 GMT

Hi all, I am on Mac OS, new to these productivity setups, and especially to Freeter. I fell in love what Freeter tries to achieve the moment I saw it. Was wondering is there a way to open 2 Freeter window instance on 2 different screen, each running a different project? I plan to have some common references grouped together in one workflow on one screen, and code on a separate workflow on another screen.

If anyone knows how to do this, do point me in the right direction. Once again, I'm so happy to have found this tool, and I really hope it'll work for my workflow!

Add a "Keyboard Shortcuts" section in Freeter

tuqueque — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 22:32:12 GMT

Hello, this is the second feature request I would like to be present in Freeter... Right now Freeter is AWESOME, but I waste too much time going to the top-right corner of some of my web page widgets to reload them... I would love to be able to hit the universal [ctrl+r] to reload a page, for example.

And just like I mentioned in a previous feature request, I would love to be able to hide the titlebars of widgets (also with a shortcut toggle, like [ctrl+t] maybe).

I know adding shortcuts is tricky... for example, I added several web page widgets with access to my Linux Terminal (through the TTYD application), and as you might now, the Linux Terminal itself works with some shortcuts (e.g.: [ctrl+shift+c] to copy, [ctrl+shift+v] to paste, [ctrl+c] to terminate a process, etc. And ideally, these shortcuts should still take precedence over Freeter's shortcuts when that Linux Terminal widget is focused.

That's why I think a Keyboard Shortcuts section in the settings of Freeter is useful, that way we can change a shortcut if interferes/collides with another application's shortcut.

Again thank you for your time developing this awesome application!

Allow to hide widget titles

tuqueque — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 22:18:34 GMT

Hello... I'll start repeating what I said in the Github page reporting a problem, I've been using Freeter for the past 3 days and I'm in love with it!... Simple concept, genius implementation!

Now, about the feature request, I would love to be able to hide the title of widgets. For my layouts they just occupy valuable screen real estate and if I needed it back in one widget, it could be unhidden by a simple keyboard shortcut (e.g.: [t], for "titlebar"). It could be a toggle, [t] to hide, [t] again to show.

Here's a screenshot of one of my workflows, all titlebars are highlited in orange (I just placed emojis as names for most of the titles)

As you can see, there are just waaay too many titlebars taking valuable and limited space in the screen. If someone likes it, cool, keep them, but for those who want to hide them, it would be awesome to have the option.

Thank you in advance!

Enable grouping

Marnix — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 11:09:16 GMT

@sue I just noticed that I can copy the workflow! 😃 That's indeed part of the functionality.
But grouping would make it possible to separate sets of widgets and label them. For instance, you can have a set with files to work on on the left of the Workflow and a set with files and links that you need to reference on the right of the Workflow. Then, perhaps when one set grows too large, you can move it to it's own Workflow while leaving the other sets as they are.

Render local files

Marnix — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 10:53:04 GMT

@sue I don't know what would be easier to do; make the Webpage-widget that already renders local html-files to also render markdown, or to make the Note-widget that already renders markdown to also render local files. But either would have the desired result.

Project management option gone

Marnix — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 07:57:22 GMT

My pleasure. I've downloaded and installed version 2.7.1 and am happy to report that the project drop-down and management options are back and working perfectly.
Thank you for creating this application and for fixing this issue so quickly.

How to open webpage with IP address and port number?

sottey — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 03:14:25 GMT

The solution here would be to set the widget to the main login page initially, then once the Freeter browser instance has the tokens, you should be able to change it to the target URL you want.

Open webpage with IP address and port number

sottey — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 03:09:48 GMT

I know this is kind of old, but I set up freeter today, and I used ip addresses + ports for both Link Openers AND Webpages. They both work fine. Are you making sure to use the protocol? (i.e. https://)

Clicking copy issue URL in GitHub project, crashes the browser and than the whole app
