New beta update is now available
Welcome to our last beta of the year! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ 🙌
Build #80500057 wraps up 2021 and bookends a big year for 1Password clients on desktop. We launched our very first Linux app in May, 1Password 8 for Windows last month, and set ourselves up for an amazing Mac launch in the New Year.
Looking at releases.1password.com we published 123 releases this year across Linux, Windows, Mac, and 1Password in your browser. One Hundred Twenty Three! 😮
As for the changes themselves, the changelogs for these 123 releases contained 1,917 improvements and updates. 😮😮😮 And both of these counts greatly undercount things as each official release requires several betas before publication[1].
It truly was an incredible year and in so many ways it feels like we’re just getting started. I can’t share everything we’re working on with you just yet but I can share that there’s some huge updates to the 1Password CLI coming soon, as well as something truly special for those who work with SSH keys.
There’s a big hint of what’s to come hiding in the Preferences > Developers pane:
You can just imagine the huge opportunities this will unlock for the CLI and SSH keys. If you’d like to be among the first to try these be sure to sign up to be contacted and granted access to a private forum here once we’re ready.

You can find a full set of changes for the Desktop betas in our release notes for macOS , Windows , and Linux. Or, select the What’s New item from the feedback menu within the app.
As always, thank you so much for participating in the early access release and helping us to improve 1Password. We couldn't have gotten this far without you and the releases are so much better as a direct result of you. Thank you! 🙏🏻🤗

[1]: The changelog for the betas themselves get rolled up into the official launch so they won’t appear directly on releases.1password.com. To find the true total number of releases in 2021 would require digging through git. It’s a fun challenge I might tackle once I catch up on my Advent of Code puzzles. 😊
