SecureDrop Inbox 1.2.0 is now available! This update will automatically be installed as part of your regular preflight updates. No further action is needed.

This release increases the number of results returned by search, improves file handling and sync performance, and carries out other internal cleanup. For more details, please refer to the changelog for this release.

In case you missed it, the SecureDrop Inbox is our new journalist experience for triaging and working with sources.

Based on feedback from news organizations, we have decided to expedite the removal of the legacy client. It will be removed in the 1.3.0 release, tentatively planned for May 20, 2026. If you do need to fall back due to an unexpected issue, please contact SecureDrop support via Signal as soon as possible, so we can make sure to address it.
