April 14, 2026
A unified search, a rebuilt Vault, and a typographic refresh. SEARCH EVERYTHING FROM ONE PLACE Type a show date, song title, venue, year, or person's name — results appear instantly with fuzzy matching across the entire archive. Pin results as filter chips to build complex queries, then jump straight to matching shows. VAULT, REORGANIZED Six focused tabs — Shows, Songs, Years, People, Places, Tapes — each with its own search, sort, and filters. No more hunting; just walk into the right room. NATIVE iOS 26 CONTROLS Segmented pickers, toggles, and form elements use native SwiftUI on iOS 26. Settings and profile sheets dismiss with a drag.
