Release Notes

This version is for RedirectWeb Pro on macOS only.

It includes a fix for the issue where the app bundle name was incorrect. It used to be RedirectWeb.app but now it's RedirectWeb Pro.app.

This is a follow-up to version 10.2.0 for RedirectWeb Pro on macOS.

This version is for RedirectWeb Pro on macOS only.

It includes a fix for the issue where the app bundle name was incorrect (RedirectWeb Pro.app was incorrectly named RedirectWeb.app).

However, the fix was not properly implemented, so we released version 10.2.1 to address it.

Sorry for the confusion.

• [iOS] Added new MDM settings for MDM platforms that don't support the Dictionary type in the managed app configuration. Now you can also specify rules using raw JSON string in the .redirectweb file you can export from the app. (Details: MDM Settings for Admins)

• [iOS] Potential crash fix

• Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements

• [In Progress] Add macOS support for RedirectWeb Pro

  • For Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other non-Safari browsers, please use the same extension listed in the download links below. The extension will automatically recognize RedirectWeb Pro after you launch the app.

Introducing a new paid version​

We launched a new app called RedirectWeb Pro, a separate paid version of RedirectWeb. It offers the same features as the fully unlocked version of RedirectWeb.

RedirectWeb Pro is especially suitable for users who want to purchase it in bulk (Volume Purchase) via Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. (Apple doesn't support Volume Purchase for in-app purchases, so we created a separate app.)

Other Changes​

• Minor performance improvements and bug fixes.
• Browser extension
  • Replaced the toolbar icon with the full-color app icon.
• iOS, iPadOS, visionOS
  • Updated the video tutorial on the tutorial page.

This version is to roll out the changes introduced in 9.3.0 and 9.4.0 to macOS.

• macOS App
  • ADDED Support for MDM settings. If you are an IT admin in your company or school, you can now distribute redirection rules to your employees/students via MDM! (Details: MDM Settings for Admins)
• Browser Extension
  • ADDED You can now create a DNR rule that opens an app using deep linking. This is intended to be handled automatically, but if it doesn't work, please explicitly select Via Intermediate Page for the Main Frame Redirection option on the Edit Rule screen.

• Browser Extension:
  • FIXED Safari: A memory leak issue in the native messaging host that caused the extension to consume more memory over time when used with Safari. This issue did not occur in other browsers.
  • FIXED The focus ring of the Enable Rules button shown in the popup was not displayed correctly.
• App (iOS):
  • FIXED My Rules: The background of buttons shown in rule selection mode was not drawn correctly.

Brand Renaming to RedirectWeb​

We changed the brand name to RedirectWeb from Redirect Web. (No space between "Redirect" and "Web".)

The owner and the developer of RedirectWeb remain Manabu Nakazawa, as before.

Changed Support Website​

We moved the support website to redirectweb.net from mshibanami.github.io/redirect-web. Now the old URL will redirect to the new one automatically.

Updated Terms & Privacy Policy​

Since we changed the app’s brand name to RedirectWeb, we also updated our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to reflect the renaming. Find the full diff here.

Other fixes and improvements​

• Fixed a crash when opening a privacy policy link in the Prepare Extension screen.
