What's New in CaptionSmith
2.10
August 4, 2026
SHARE THE PHOTO AND THE CAPTION — TOGETHER • One action sends both. The new "Share Photo + Caption" button on the photo details screen puts the picture in the attachment and your caption in the message body. Text it or mail it and the caption arrives as words your reader actually sees — while staying embedded in the file's metadata, where agencies and photo apps read it. FIXES • Local (Ollama) stays local. Choosing Local (Ollama) on a Mac could sync to your iPhone, which would then send the photo to our servers and spend a credit — on the one provider whose whole promise is that nothing leaves your machine. iPhone now refuses Mac-only providers no matter where the setting came from. • Errors you can actually read. A refusal that should have been a sentence showed a raw internal code instead. Messages from our servers now show their readable text, and a Settings row that did nothing has been removed. • Truthful agency CSVs. The Category column was filled with CaptionSmith's own category names in exports for agencies that expect their own codes. It now carries a category only in our generic format, and stays blank for agency formats until each one has a proper mapping. Built by an ICU doctor who shoots on the side. Tap Help & Support in Settings with any feedback.
