## What is ColorWander?

ColorWander turns your photos into share-ready color cards — built from each photo's own dominant hues, with thoughtful typography and quiet details.

CLASSIC LAYOUT — FREE FOREVER
Pick a photo. ColorWander extracts its dominant color, places it beside your image, and adds a clean caption of where & when you took it. Export to your camera roll or share directly.

NEW IN 1.4.2
- Try any Pro layout on your own photo first — you only unlock when you export
- German added, and Traditional Chinese now has its own typefaces instead of converted glyphs
- New rounded CJK typeface, GoRound — soft, generous curves for Chinese captions
- Glass Palette export fixed — high-resolution exports no longer wash out, and match the preview
- Fixed: a first-launch hang on iOS 16.0/16.1, caption clipping on landscape cards, and a ticket number that refused to be cleared

FREE & LIMITED-TIME FREE LAYOUTS
- Classic — color band + photo + caption (free forever)
- Editorial Poster — magazine-style poster (free to use)
- Free for a limited time: Glass Palette, Gradient top, Calendar top, Color Story, Receipt, Ticket, and Perler beads

(Free layouts add a small "Made with ColorWander" mark; a Pro subscription removes it.)

PRO ACCESS
Unlock the rest of the layouts, higher-quality exports, and watermark removal with a Monthly or Yearly Pro subscription (7-day free trial with Yearly), or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

PRO LAYOUTS & STYLES
- Calendar (bottom), Polaroid, Polaroid Legacy, Window, Film, Tape, Stamp, Palette
- Color Bottom / Left / Right and Gradient Bottom / Left / Right
- Angle control on every gradient (80-gradient library, photo-aware picks)
- Real scanned-film grain texture with intensity slider
- On iOS 26, Glass Palette exports use the real Liquid Glass material

LIVE PHOTO EXPORT — FREE
Export animated Live Photo cards, free for everyone. Long-press in Apple Photos to play it back, keeping the color-card frame, original audio, and your crop.

LITERARY CAPTIONS
4,200+ curated public-domain literary passages — 1,400+ Chinese and 2,800+ English — matched to your photo's capture time.

EXPORT QUALITY

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Photos are processed entirely on-device and never leave your device. The only off-device requests: reverse-geocoding for caption city names, and anonymous usage statistics (no personal data or photo content; can be turned off in Settings).

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-26

v1.4.2 — Colors your way, every layout to preview, and a new rounded typeface.

NEW
• Text color is yours to set — fixed custom colors being silently overridden in some layouts.
• Preview every layout — Pro layouts can be previewed freely; unlock only if you love the result.
• New rounded CJK typeface, GoRound — soft, generous curves for Chinese captions.
• Traditional Chinese typefaces — WenKai TC and Han Serif TC, no more Simplified glyph shapes.
• Literary quotes now come in real Traditional Chinese, not converted text.
• Added German localization.

IMPROVED
• Glass palette HEX labels now follow your chosen typeface.
• Glass palette exports fixed — high-resolution output no longer washes out and matches the preview.
• Live Photo covers now match the static export's glass finish, and the glass reads more clearly during playback.

FIXED
• Fixed an issue where the app could get stuck on first launch on iOS 16.0/16.1.
• Fixed Chinese characters being clipped at the top in certain typefaces.
• Fixed captions being cut off on landscape ratios.
• Ticket layout: the number can now be cleared, and coordinates show 2 decimal places instead of 4.
• Fixed missing HEX labels on the glass palette when the panel sits on the left or right.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-06

v1.4.1 — Now supports iOS 16, plus a batch of hand-polished details.

NEW
• Now runs on iOS 16 — older devices welcome.
• New 4:5 export ratio — made for Instagram posts.
• All six palette chips are now editable — shared across Glass palette, Color story and Palette bands, with an eyedropper that picks straight from your photo.
• Smarter color extraction — near-duplicate colors are told apart, and even monochrome photos fill all six chips.

IMPROVED
• Tap-to-edit canvas — tap the color block, palette or watermark to jump straight to its controls.
• Gallery keeps your exports byte-for-byte — 4K and lossless stay lossless.
• Buying Lifetime during a trial now warns you and helps cancel the subscription first — no double billing.
• The membership page's feature carousel now plays automatically.
• The default Latin font is now a vintage typewriter face (Ticket keeps its modern sans).

FIXED
• More reliable saves — transient Photos errors retry automatically, and a one-tap email sends diagnostics to the developer if anything still fails.
• A batch of small fixes — clearer error states, tighter selection outlines, and smoother tap targets.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-16

v1.4.0 — New Ticket & Perler layouts, a freer canvas with transparent export, reworked literary quotes, and a redesigned welcome.

NEW
• Ticket layout — real ticket-stub texture with an auto ticket number, barcode, and coordinates. Four edge styles (perforated / stamp / notched / rounded) and adjustable margin. Free for a limited time.
• Perler-bead layout — turn your photo into a pixel-bead mosaic. Free for a limited time.
• Shrink the photo to reveal the canvas behind it — fill the canvas with a solid color, gradient, or blurred photo.
• Adjustable background opacity, with transparent PNG export.
• A redesigned welcome flow and membership page — real user cards and feature previews.

IMPROVED
• Fully reworked literary corpus — 1,400+ Chinese and 2,800+ English public-domain passages, with better time-of-day matching.
• More accurate auto scene labels and mainland-China location captions.
• Faster all around — launch, photo picking, export, and Gallery.

FIXED
• Fixed an occasional 4K / lossless Live Photo export failure.
• Fixed Polaroid and color-block seam jaggies, and title clipping on some fonts.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-06-19

v1.3.1 — Bug fixes for a more reliable export.

• Fixed an issue where exporting an image — or saving it as a Live Photo — could fail for some photos when the background blur option was turned on.
• Export is more stable overall.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-17

v1.3.0 — New Receipt layout, plus photo blur, background opacity and rounded photo corners on every layout, multi-line captions, horizontal split-layout text, and 27 new fonts.

NEW
• Receipt layout (free for a limited time) — capture your everyday moments on a little till slip

MORE WAYS TO PLAY
• Photo blur on every layout — Gaussian or Motion (the Instagram-style pixel stretch)
• Adjustable background opacity on every layout — play with translucent color blocks
• Adjustable photo corner radius on layouts with an inset photo (Editorial poster, Receipt, Color Story) for a softer, rounder look
• Captions now wrap across multiple lines (up to four)
• Color-left / Gradient-left / Color-right / Gradient-right layouts now support horizontal text
• Richer font selection with category filters — 27 new fonts for every mood
• Gallery can now sort by capture date (previously save date only)

IMPROVED
• Fixed Live Photos not being recognized or exported when Photos access was limited to selected photos
• Smoother layout switching, faster photo loading, and snappier Gallery thumbnails
