Clustta 0.4.31

New Features
Internationalization
0-4-31-internationalisation
Clustta is now available in Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese (BR), Italian, German, and Korean. More languages will be added soon.
Checkpoint sharing [Managed instances only]
- Generate a link to share any specific checkpoint with people without needing to add them to the project. This is useful for sharing deliverables with a client for example..
Integration system
- We have commenced work on Clustta's plugin system by implementing a bridge. This is a lightweight server that exposes an endpoint to connect Clustta to external tools like Blender, Maya and Unreal Engine so you can use a plugin/addon from there to interface with Clustta's native operations.
Squash operation
0-4-31-squash
This new operation allows you to combine multiple untracked files into a single asset with sequential checkpoints. Useful if you had previously versioned them manually outside of Clustta.
Sync enhancements
- Sync individual assets, enable automatic write-through sync per project, view a changelog of synced changes, and discard unwanted changes before syncing
Remote project deletion
0-4-31-delete-project
Users with sufficient permissions can now delete remote projects from the client app. Previoulsy, this was only possible by manually deleting the .clst archive on the server.
File associations
- Before now, Clustta could only read archives stored in the user configuration. Now you can double-click
.clst
files anywhere on your machine to open them directly in Clustta.
Background mode
- Closing the window now minimizes Clustta to the system tray so it stays available for plugin connections. This setting can be toggled in the app settings if you prefer to kill the app on close.
Dependency presets
0-4-31-dependency-preset
If you find yourself having to add some dependencies over again, you can now save a dependency preset to re-apply them to other assets.
UX Improvements
Redesigned onboarding
- Redesigned onboarding, streamlined Login/Signup, and guided Studio setup for both self-hosted and managed options.
Dense view mode
0-4-31-dense-view
We have added a more compact layout option for browsing assets and collections so you can view more content.
Checkpoint timeline
0-4-31-checkpoint-timeline-groups
Checkpoints are now grouped by date for easier referencing. Unsynced checkpoints are highlighted with a red indicator. Now you can also search by a specific date/day.
Emoji picker search
0-4-31-emoji-search
Find emojis faster with the new search bar. The search will return exact matches as well as items from a category with a similar filter.

Clustta 0.4.30

Use Without an Account
Clustta doesn't require sign-up to get started. New users can skip account creation entirely and jump straight into working with local projects - creating, browsing, checkpointing, and organizing assets all work without an account. When you're ready to collaborate, you can sign up at any time.
Offline Mode
Your work is always accessible, even without a network connection. Studio projects you've synced are cached locally, so you can continue browsing and working on them while offline. The UI gracefully falls back to local data when the server is unreachable, and an offline mode indicator keeps you informed of your connectivity state.
Private Studio Authentication (Air-Gapped Installations)
Teams running their own self-hosted Clustta Studio on an internal network can now authenticate directly against that private server. The authentication flow stores the auth mode and auth URL per-token, and studio URLs are auto-resolved - no manual "alternative URL" configuration required anymore.
Manage Collaborators from the Projects Pane
Collaborator management has been unified and brought closer to where you work. You can now search, add, edit roles, and remove collaborators directly from the project item in the sidebar, with an improved search-enabled UI.
Move, Copy, Cut & Paste Assets Within a Projec
t
0-4-30-cut
Full clipboard operations are now available in the asset browser. Select one or more assets or collections and
Cut
,
Copy
, or
Paste
them into any collection in the same project. Drag-and-drop has also been fixed for both grid and expanded list views.
Copy Assets Between Projects
0-4-30-copy-to-project
Assets can now be copied from one project to another. The
Copy to Project
action duplicates the selected assets (including their directory structure) into a target project, making it easy to reuse work across productions.
Studio Connectivity Check
Clustta now performs automatic reachability checks against your connected studios and surfaces the result as an online/offline status badge. If a studio goes down or becomes unreachable, you'll receive a notification and the UI will reflect the current state so you're never left guessing.
Error Console & Diagnostic Logging
0-4-30-log
A new
Debug Console
captures and displays application logs in real time, directly inside the client. Alongside this, a
Submit Diagnostics
action collects system info and recent logs into a report that can be sent to the Clustta team for troubleshooting.
Web App (v1)
The first functional version of the Clustta web client is here. It shares the same Vue codebase via a platform abstraction layer (
adapters/http.js
) and includes:
  • Authentication and routing (sign-up, login, password reset)
  • Project browsing and asset downloading
  • Public user profile pages
  • Platform-aware conditional rendering (file-system operations are restricted; download replaces local open)

    .clst
    file size by cleaning up unused data
