Carrier 2.0 adds scheduled sending and substantially improves stability, with background connection recovery, blank-window recovery, and fixes for macOS memory leaks and crashes.

Massively improved stability

• Repair supported Messenger connection failures in the background without reloading the conversation. Focusing Carrier, waking your computer, and reconnecting now trigger health checks instead of periodic reloads.
• Detect broken encrypted-message connections even when the page still responds, recover stalled startup, and verify that connectivity has returned.
• Detect and recover blank or frozen windows, including cases where JavaScript remains responsive but the window stops drawing.
• On macOS, prevent repeated shared-worker failures under memory pressure, release old webviews after window recovery, and fix a native menu crash.
• On Linux, avoid a networking stall that could leave Messenger stuck during startup.

Recovery protects drafts and active calls, and respects sleep and server cooldowns. Reconnect and Reload remain available when automatic repair cannot finish.

Scheduled sending

Select the clock beside the smiley in the composer to schedule a text message. Choose a quick delay or a specific local date and time. Carrier saves the message and clears the composer; the conversation does not need to stay open.

• Change send times, cancel scheduled messages, or copy their text from the clock menu.
• Scheduled messages persist across app restarts and remain tied to the account that created them.
• Desktop notifications and in-app warnings report missed or unconfirmed sends.

Carrier must be running, signed in, and connected at send time. Scheduling currently supports text up to 2,000 characters. Existing drafts, attachments, or calls can block a send. Messages get a two-minute grace window; after that, they stay marked Not sent rather than going out unexpectedly late. Unconfirmed sends are never retried automatically.

Other improvements

• Notification quick replies now submit automatically without an extra Enter press, while protecting existing drafts.
• More accurate group notification senders and photos, improved image previews, and richer YouTube and Spotify link previews.
• Fixed incoming notifications showing “Draft:” instead of the message when you were writing a draft.
• Choose nicknames or real names independently for one-to-one chats and groups. The preference applies to supported conversation titles, sidebar previews, reply attribution, and notifications without changing saved Messenger nicknames.
