Latest: 2.02026-10-20

2.0Version 2.0 2026-10-20

Rebuilt from the ground up with a new interface in 11 languages and 12 themes.

Accounts: link by QR code, by phone pairing code or in a visible browser; deleting an account logs it out of WhatsApp and removes its data; linking shows clear errors and stops after 5 minutes.
Accounts that are not linked are detected in seconds.
Individual Sender: message versions, polls, events, contact cards, voice notes, stickers, video notes and documents; safe default delays (20–40 s, and a 2–5 min pause every 15) that are remembered; Stop works at once; a final summary of sent, failed and skipped; an option to skip numbers that already got the message.
Variables: {Date} and {Time}; an empty name stays empty; {{KEY}} options can contain {Column}.
AI variations with current Google Gemini models; the API key is no longer sent in the URL.
Number Filter: shows which numbers are on WhatsApp and which are Business or Regular; a random pause after every batch (Safe Mode); an "Unknown" result when a check fails; numbers cleaned and de-duplicated.
Chat List and Label Extractor: hidden (@lid) numbers are resolved to real phone numbers; groups, channels and broadcasts are no longer exported as phone numbers.

Rewritten to read Google Maps directly: name, category, phone, address, website, rating, reviews, Maps link and coordinates; duplicates removed; the consent page is handled; a clear message when Google asks for a CAPTCHA.
Smarter place search: "keyword in place" in several languages, places outside the area are skipped.
Better email search (website and /contact page); Stop works at once.
More results: when a search runs out of places, it continues in the surrounding area. Results are saved to a CSV file as they come in.

Import from xlsx and xls with a column picker, a preview and a report; add and edit members; phone numbers normalized; duplicates detected.
Large groups are paged and searched quickly.
Message Templates in 4 categories with a live preview.

Browser: new "Update Browser Driver" button; "Fix Frozen Browser" closes only GrowthKit's browsers and asks first.
Data files are saved safely with a backup copy and restored automatically if damaged.
Messages and errors are shown in every screen; new accounts appear in every tool without restarting.
The version number is shown in the window title, the sidebar, Settings and License Details; an error log file (growthkit.log).
Privacy: no screenshots or page dumps of WhatsApp are saved; analytics calls from bundled libraries are turned off.

New signed license keys (GK2) that cannot be forged. Keys from version 1 do not work in version 2: make a new key with the version 2 Key Generator. The Machine ID is now based on Windows' machine GUID.
The license is checked again every hour; setting the clock back no longer extends it; the activation screen says why a key was rejected.

First release.
