What’s new in StreamPulse, release by release

Updated on 6 October 2026

Version 26.10.6 · 2026-10-06

• New. Badges tab: every badge is Active, Upcoming or Ended, with the real dates of the Twitch campaigns, its cost, what to do and the date Twitch added it. Everything updates on its own whenever a Twitch tab is open.
• Fixed. Ended badges are no longer shown as earnable, and upcoming badges are no longer announced as available before they start.
• Fixed. Ultramarine, ACE COMBAT 8 Nugget, Koromaru and d20 are finally linked to their campaign: their end date shows, and d20 can be earned in auto mode.
• Fixed. Badge auto mode: the pinned tab stays muted, but the Twitch player is never muted or at 0% anymore (2% minimum), so Twitch properly counts the watch time.
• Fixed. Settings, General section: no more large empty band at the bottom of the popup, and the "Settings sections" layout column lists every section again.

Version 26.10.2 · 2026-10-02

• Fixed. Fixed interface freeze when opening the Plus menu: the top bar and tabs remain fully interactive.
• Improved. Adjusted alignment and width of the streamer search button in the popup to prevent line breaks.
• New. Direct access to the official StreamPulse Discord server from settings to join the community and reach support.

Version 26.9.33 · 2026-10-01

• New. The community badge and StreamPulse+ cosmetics arrive in the Kick chat: your badge and name paint now show just like on Twitch, tinted with the Kick chat color. The “Community badge” setting is unchanged.
• Improved. The Badges menu is now labeled “beta”, matching the feature it still is: the tag sits on the tab and the panel, no longer only on the community badge setting.
• Improved. Kick caught up with Twitch: the tab favicon shows the followed streamer's photo with its live dot, a latency indicator joins the player controls, and missing avatars backfill themselves over successive polls.
• New. History as CSV: export your points and Drops details from Settings → Backup, and re-import them on another browser : merging skips duplicates.
• New. Alt+Shift+S opens the pop-up, editable in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
• Improved. In the Drops tab, the time you have left is explicit: “2 h 14 left” instead of a bare number.
• New. Sync across your devices, toggle it in Settings → Data: your streamers, pins, settings and language follow your browser : no account, no StreamPulse server. Watch time, points and Drops stay on each device. It's offered right at installation.
• New. Watch time now counts YouTube: watch a live from a followed channel and the minutes land in your stats and Recap, avatar included. Regular videos and replays don't count. The “Add to StreamPulse” button is there on YouTube and Kick channel pages too.
• Improved. Richer Badges tab: progress on minute-goal campaigns with the time left (estimated from your watch time : Twitch exposes no progress), code rewards are labelled as such and badges without a category link are finally clickable. New tiers within an existing badge series are flagged as new.
• Improved. New-badge notifications get their own setting, decoupled from Drops alerts : and the five alert switches in the pop-up respond again: they had come unwired.

Version 26.9.32 · 2026-10-01

• Fixed. In the pop-up, the live strip no longer snaps back on its own while you scroll it: it stays where you leave it.
• Fixed. The badges and campaigns list updates as soon as you open the pop-up, instead of waiting for the next automatic check.

Version 26.9.31 · 2026-09-30

• Fixed. On Twitch, removing a streamer with the “Add to StreamPulse” button works again, and the settings in the StreamPulse panel and drawer save again.
• Fixed. The “Add to StreamPulse” button gets its purple background back on Twitch pages.

Version 26.9.30 · 2026-09-28

• Fixed. The welcome page no longer overflows on narrow screens or in German and Russian.
• Improved. Truncated titles in the popup now show in full on hover.
• Fixed. The backup restore page works again: the file is read, the preview shows up and “Add to my data” works as advertised.
• Improved. Settings are organized into 8 clear sections, opening on Notifications, Plus features in their right place with their lock, and a Tools area: Drops, Badges, Activity, StreamPulse+, Help. The Twitch drawer follows the same layout.
• New. New “Reset settings” button: everything goes back to install defaults, your language and theme are kept.
• Improved. Live, category and title alerts now apply to all your streamers at once; each card can still be adjusted on its own.
• Fixed. Clicking a notification opens the right channel again, even after the extension sleeps, and quiet hours really silence the night.
• Fixed. Watch time no longer counts a background tab or a paused stream, and two windows on the same live no longer count twice. YouTube shows up correctly there, with the right logo.
• Fixed. More reliable Kick connection: the token is reused instead of being requested at every check, and the fallback that exposed keys server-side is removed.
• Fixed. Your display name is editable again in “Profile & badge”, and turning the community badge off stops it right away, no reload needed.
• Improved. Onboarding starts with notifications and fits small screens.
• Improved. “Watch” switches to the tab already open on that channel instead of opening a new one.
• New. After removing a streamer, “Undo” puts them back with their notifications, pin and group.
• New. A search with no results offers to add exactly what you typed.
• Improved. The home screen adapts when nobody is live or your list is empty.
• Improved. Better keyboard accessibility and stronger contrast in the popup.
• Improved. Review and badge prompts no longer hide your lives: they wait a few seconds and sit below the stage.
• Improved. A calmer top bar: a single dot per new thing, gone as soon as you've seen it.
• Improved. StreamPulse opens faster: only your language is loaded.
• Improved. Twitch pages load less StreamPulse code and fewer images.
• Improved. Clearer wording and complete translations in all 11 languages: no more sentences left in English.

Version 26.9.29 · 2026-09-27

• New. Referrals step into the light: they now live in General settings, and a “Copy my code” button waits at the end of your recap.
• Fixed. The “League of Legends Classic” and Elden Ring badges, from events that have ended, are no longer shown as available or targeted by auto mode.
• Improved. Loyalty badge: the lifetime license now shows a black disc with a gold ring and logo, much easier to read in chat, and the StreamPulse founder gets a dedicated badge.
• Fixed. A person's StreamPulse badge now disappears from chat at most 7 days after they remove the extension or turn off their community badge.
• Improved. The Gauge loyalty badge is easier to read in chat: a solid disc in your tier's color, a white ring that fills up and a crisp logo, with a shine from one year on.

Version 26.9.28 · 2026-09-27

• New. StreamPulse+ loyalty badge: as your badge effect, pick “Gauge”, a badge whose ring fills up month after month, or “Pager”, the StreamPulse screen in a case that changes material. From 1 month to 4 years, gold for lifetime licenses. It's the default badge if you haven't picked an effect, and your subscribed months add up, even after a break.
• New. Name and badge redesigned, like 7TV paints: one palette for the logo and the name, 7 gradients and 9 textures (Galaxy, Holographic, Lava, Marble, Chrome, Glitter, Candy cane, Toxic, Ocean), each with its own built-in animation. Separate animations (Pulse, Bounce…) and the Neon and Glitch effects are gone: a badge that used one goes back to the classic logo, and Prism becomes Rainbow.
• Fixed. The Settings step of the first-time setup no longer offers automatic Moments claiming: Twitch removed that feature.
• Improved. The final screen of the first-time setup is redesigned: a preview of the notification you'll get when your first followed streamer goes live, a strip of your streamers, and content properly anchored in the page.
• New. The community badge now offers itself: a card in the popup turns it on in one click (with the privacy reminder), and the first-time setup shows the chat preview before the switch.
• Fixed. Badge auto mode: the tab now gets past blocking screens on its own (mature content, chat consent) that left the stream paused and badges frozen. The 360p quality and near-silent volume are reapplied after ads and stream restarts.

Version 26.9.27 · 2026-09-27

• New. New Drops panel in Settings: your Twitch Drops in progress with their progress and time left, the ones ready to claim, and Twitch's campaigns with filters (new, ending soon, upcoming), your games first. With StreamPulse+, the history of every Drop you earned, month by month, with the game and the channel.
• New. No need to open Twitch anymore: StreamPulse checks your Drops every 10 minutes and claims the ready ones, even when you watch on your phone or TV.
• Improved. On the home screen, the Drops chip shows the Drop in progress with a progress line, without taking space from the stage.
• Improved. Drops are now auto-claimed directly through Twitch as soon as they are ready, without waiting for the inventory page, and each Drop you earn is counted once, with its name.
• New. Badge auto mode: a "Get every available badge" button works through the free badges on its own, and you can queue several by hand. One tab watches one game at a time (Twitch only counts one live at a time): tiers of the same game (30 min, 1 h, 90 min…) progress together, then the tab moves to the next game. A banner on the Twitch page shows the badges in progress, the Drop minutes and what's next.
• New. New Badges tab in Settings: running chat badge campaigns with their requirements, and new Twitch global badges as soon as they appear, with how to get them, whether they are free or paid, and the ones you already own. A notification tells you about new free badges.
• New. Auto mode in the Badges tab: "Get it automatically" opens a live stream from the campaign in a pinned, muted tab at low quality, then closes it and lets you know as soon as the badge is yours.
• New. New Points panel in Settings: StreamPulse records every channel point you earn on Twitch and shows how many you earned on each channel. With StreamPulse+, see where they come from (watching, bonuses, raids, follows, streaks, cheers and gift subs), what your sub added on top, and a card for each streamer with a log of your gains. Your recap now shows the points you earned too.
• New. New Name & badge tab: with StreamPulse+, pick an effect for your username and for the StreamPulse logo next to it in Twitch chat, seen by every StreamPulse user. 25 effects, including the new Heartbeat, Float, Wobble, Prism, Glitch, Ember and Frost. The badge colour setting is gone: the badge takes your username colour.
• New. StreamPulse+ referrals: share your code, your friend gets €2.99 off (first month free, or the lifetime plan for €16). You earn money on PayPal: €1 for every month they pay, or €5 at once if they take the lifetime plan, paid out from €10. Plus: a free month per friend on the monthly plan, the Ambassador username effect, the Golden halo badge effect and one more device.
• New. The StreamPulse+ monthly plan now starts with 7 free days.
• Improved. Drops and Badges get their own tabs in the top bar, and What's new moves to an icon on the right. Settings are reorganised: Name & badge, Drops and Badges come first, with a New label until your first visit.
• New. While typing a name to add a Twitch or Kick channel, matching channels show up like on Twitch, with their avatar and live ones first. Use the arrows and Enter to add one without typing it all.
• New. Layout: in General & help, reorder the top bar tabs and the Settings sections, and hide the ones you don't use (History, for example).
• Improved. Labels that overflowed their buttons were shortened in Italian, Polish, Turkish, Russian and French (hover previews, help & FAQ, watch time…).
• New. A notification announces every StreamPulse update, once per version, and a click opens What's new. It can be turned off in Settings, Alerts tab.
• Improved. The latency indicator goes where you want: under the player next to the viewer count, as today, or in the chat header in place of the "Stream Chat" title. Set it in Player.
• Improved. The points on the recap image are the real points of the period: the new daily tracking, and before it the bonus chests the extension had dated. If tracking only covers part of the period, the image says so ("Points since Sep 26"). The yearly Wrapped uses your total since install.
• Fixed. Recap image: watch time no longer overflows past 100 hours, your favorite channel's name is shown in full, StreamPulse is no longer written three times, and the downloaded image is twice as sharp while weighing under 1 MB (JPEG), light enough for X.
• Fixed. The "Drops today" counter on the home screen is back: it counts the Drops you actually earned, no longer clicks on Twitch buttons.
• Fixed. The yearly Wrapped could show fewer hours than one of its months (for example 120 h for 2026 versus 160 h for September): the current month only counted from when daily tracking arrived. Every month is now counted in full.
