What's new

The last three updates to Re:Vault. Every release is also posted first in the community server.

v11.4.2

Latest update, November 1, 2026

Study with friends: share Re:Vault, invite a friend to a study room, and race to type today's passage. Flashcards can now come straight from Quizlet or Anki, Books has categories, and your username is easy to find.

Added

Your username in Settings. Settings > Account and backup now shows "Username: your name" with a Copy button, and you can pick or change your public username right there. It is the name people see in Study Hall, community posts and the leaderboard. Search Settings for "username" to jump to it. Island Mode's You panel shows it too.
Books has categories now. Pick Action, Puzzle, Racing, Strategy and more at the top of Books to see just those games; each one shows how many games it has. Re:Vault remembers your pick next time. Top rated still works inside a category.
126 new games in Books, each with its own category.
Share Re:Vault. Send a friend a link, show them a QR code, or use your device's own share menu. Find it in Settings > Account and backup, the toolbar (the More tray on phones), Island Mode's You panel, or the desktop's start menu.
Invite a friend to a study room. In Study Hall, make a link to Math, Science, English, Quiet Focus or Hangout. A link works for 24 hours and up to 5 people. Your friend still signs in and agrees to the rules like everyone else.
What's new. After an update, a small note on your start page (a bubble in Island Mode) links to a page with what changed. Turn it off in Settings > Advanced > Updates.
Install Re:Vault. After you've used Re:Vault on 3 different days, it may offer to install itself so it sits on your shelf like an app. It asks at most 3 times, a week apart, and never while you're focusing, in Study Hall or in incognito. You can turn it off in Settings > Advanced > Updates.
Studying now. "About N people are studying right now" on your start page and in the Island's Study panel. It counts people with a focus timer running, rounded to the nearest 5, and only shows at 10 or more. Hide it in Settings > Layout and start page.
Type Race. A new tool with one short passage a day from classic stories and books, the same for everyone. See your speed and accuracy, and share a line like "Type Race #1: 62 wpm, 97% accuracy". Your best score for the day stays on your device.
Import flashcards from Quizlet and Anki. In Flashcards, pick a format when you paste: a Quizlet export (any separator) or an Anki "Notes in Plain Text" export. Each format shows how to export it and counts your cards as you paste.
ACPI option for Linux machines. A new checkbox in a machine's settings that Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 need to boot (they can be slow). It is off by default, so your existing machines stay as they were.
Loading screen setting. Turn off the loading screen to see pages appear as they load. The address bar still shows progress. Find it in Settings > Browsing and tabs.

Changed

Flash games load from Re:Vault itself. Nearly every Flash game in Books now gets its player and game files from Re:Vault instead of other sites, so they keep working when those sites are down.
In Books, the sort button that used to say "All" now says "A to Z", since "All" is now a category.
Sign out asks in the page instead of with a browser pop-up.
The privacy page is easier to read, with more space between paragraphs.

Fixed

Big flashcard pastes could give two cards the same id, so deleting one card could delete another. New cards get ids that never repeat, and Re:Vault repairs any repeats when it opens your decks.
Sending a note to the Study Helper now shows you the text first, and adds it only after you pick "Attach it". Only the Notes tab can hand text to the Helper.
The What's new note and the Studying now line no longer push the start page down while it loads.

Privacy

Study room invite codes and sign-in codes are taken out of the page address right away, before Google Analytics starts, so they never show up in analytics. Invite codes are kept out of server logs too.
For an invite, Re:Vault keeps only a scrambled form of the code, the room, who made it and how many times it was used, never who used it. Old invites are deleted a day after they end.
Studying now adds one yes or no to the existing online count: whether a focus timer is running. Only the rounded total is ever shown.
Settings shows only your public username, never your account ID, email address or sign-in codes.

v11.4.1: Spooky Week

October 30, 2026

A little Halloween for your study space, this week only (October 26 through November 1).

Added

Spooky theme. Dark plum, parchment-colored text and a soft pumpkin glow. Find it in the new Seasonal group of the theme picker, or pick the Spooky Week look in Settings to get the theme, a pumpkin accent and the wallpaper all at once.
Harvest Moon wallpaper. A full moon, bats and glowing pumpkins on a quiet night, in the wallpaper gallery.
Spooky Week 2026 collectible. Open any study tool during the week to collect it in Quests. It gets a pumpkin badge and stays in your Quests for good once you have it.
All three are only offered this week. If you are using the theme or wallpaper when the week ends, they stay as they are until you change them.

Changed

TV shortcut now opens a different movie site.

Fixed

Signing in with an Ep3 code works again on every Re:Vault link.

v11.4.0: The Island Update

October 24, 2026

A brand new way to use Re:Vault, a Settings page you can actually find things in, and supporter passes that keep Re:Vault free without outside ads.

Added

Island Mode. A third layout next to Classic and Desktop. With no page open you see only your wallpaper and one small island in the middle. Everything lives in it: search, your tabs, the clock and focus timer, music, the class bell, Study Hall and your settings. When you open a page the island moves to a thin strip at the top and changes to fit what you're doing. Pick it in Settings > Layout and start page, or in the welcome when you first open Re:Vault.
Restore your tabs. After a crash, a reload or a closed window, Re:Vault offers "Restore N tabs" instead of losing them. Saved tabs stay on your device only, never in a cloud backup, and nothing is saved while incognito is on.
High Contrast look. Strong black, white and yellow, a very readable font and no wallpaper. "Match system" picks it when your device asks for more contrast, and Windows High Contrast is supported too.
Extension buttons in the toolbar. Page tools you turn on (like Read Aloud or Dark Web Pages) get their own button next to the address bar. You can pin others, unpin any, and change the order.
Supporter passes (opening soon). Optional passes for people who want to help keep Re:Vault running: Month ($3), Semester ($10), School Year ($20), and a Founding Supporter pass ($35, for as long as Re:Vault runs) until November 30. Patron passes and gift codes too. Passes never renew by themselves. A pass adds extras like a Study Hall badge and name color (only if you turn it on), the Gilded Ink look, up to 10 saved wallpapers, and no ad cards. Everything you need to study stays free, forever, including the "Show ads" switch. Current Discord supporters get a free Semester Pass. See the Supporter page or Settings > Account and backup.

Changed

New Settings. Nine sections grouped by what you're trying to do, with a search box that understands plain sentences like "turn off ads" or "make the text bigger". Options that depend on a switch now show right under it as soon as you turn it on. Links can open one exact setting.
The connection dot is now a status button in the toolbar. It shows a different shape for each state, says "Reconnecting" in words when something is wrong, and opens a small panel where you can reload a page with another engine.
Smarter Read Aloud. It reads the main part of the page, one sentence at a time, highlights where it is, starts wherever you pick, and remembers where you stopped. Alt+R starts and stops it. Voices come from your device unless you allow online voices.
Fonts now come from Re:Vault itself, so pages no longer ask Google Fonts for them.

Privacy

Fonts no longer load from Google, on any page.
Saved tabs never leave your device. Clear history also forgets where Read Aloud stopped and the saved site icons.
Supporter records keep only what a receipt needs. Payments go through Cash App or Apple Cash with an order code; Re:Vault never sees card details.
Pages you open can only connect through Re:Vault. Before, a page could reach a site directly through a hidden blank frame, which some ad scripts did. Compatible no longer supports WebSocketStream (plain WebSocket still works on every engine).
