## What is Henceforth?

Bitcoin you can script.

  Henceforth is a Bitcoin SV wallet wrapped around a complete FORTH terminal. Send,
  receive, and broadcast real Bitcoin transactions from a programmable command line.
  Define your own words, build raw transactions byte by byte, and visualise data with
  code you write yourself.

  There's nothing else like it on the App Store.


  YOUR KEYS, YOUR COINS

  Private keys live in the iOS Keychain — never on a server. Every send is gated by
  Face ID or Touch ID. Transactions are permanent on the BSV blockchain, and fees are
  typically a fraction of a cent.

  For extra safety, Cold Mode signs transactions on a second offline iPhone over
  AirDrop — a real air-gap setup without dedicated hardware.


  A TERMINAL THAT DOES MORE THAN PRINT HELLO WORLD

  Full Forth-2012 CORE compliance (133 standard words) plus 200+ Bitcoin Script and BSV
   protocol extensions.

  Print a string:
    ." Hello, World"

  Define a word and run it:
    : square dup * ;
    5 square .

  Pay someone from the command line:
    1000 s" 1Q88RPbg..." send

  The terminal isn't a toy shell — it's the same Forth interpreter that builds the
  transactions you broadcast.


  WRITE, SAVE, AND RUN YOUR OWN PROGRAMS

  Save reusable code as .fs files. The built-in editor and file manager lets you write,
   version, and rerun scripts. The classic FORTH way: small composable words growing
  into your own personal vocabulary.


  CHARTS FROM THE STACK

  Bar, line, and pie charts from any values on the stack. Visualise sequences, payment
  histories, or whatever data you compute — directly from FORTH code.


  WHAT'S INSIDE

  • BSV wallet with multi-recipient sends and raw transaction builder
  • Privacy-aware UTXO selection — fresh change addresses every send
  • 1Sat Ordinal awareness — protects your inscriptions from accidental spending
  • SPV transaction verification — trust math, not servers
  • Universal app — iPhone, iPad, and Mac
  • Local-first — works offline; on-chain when you broadcast
  • Forever yours — one-time purchase, no subscriptions, no ads

  Powered by FORTH, the stack-based language Chuck Moore created in 1970.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.51 — 2026-08-12

- Scan to pay: point the camera at a payment code and it opens straight into the pay sheet, and bitcoin: links from other apps now open in Henceforth.
- The Twetch gallery: paste a seed phrase and every recoverable ordinal it holds renders in one place.
- Files kept in iCloud are no longer overwritten at launch by an older copy from another device.
- Sending is more careful under failure: payment state recovers cleanly from an interrupted broadcast, and a miner outage can no longer be mistaken for a refusal.
- Change from certain older wallets lands on its own addresses instead of colliding with receiving ones.

### 4.50 — 2026-08-05

- Broadcasting fails over to a second miner when an endpoint is unreachable, instead of reporting a false rejection.
- Newly rotated receiving addresses join live deposit monitoring immediately.
- Reliability improvements across handle registration and archive scripts.

### 4.49 — 2026-07-29

Archive fixes.

An archive you paid for now registers to the wallet that paid for it, every time — including when your wallet holds more than one card, and when a run is resumed rather than started fresh. A batch that has already landed is never re-quoted or re-sold.

Henceforth also now asks what you think of it only after something has actually worked — a broadcast that settled — rather than at a moment of its own choosing.

### 4.48 — 2026-07-23

The window toolbar symbols lose their glass fill and now paint the role colour straight onto the icon, while the circles inside content keep theirs. Also in this release: iCloud file sync, wider wallet restore and rediscover coverage, folklore sync, and a fix for an xtext retry that could pay twice.

### 4.47 — 2026-07-16

This update sharpens the wallet and steadies the interpreter.

• More dependable payments. The wallet now correctly accounts for coins already spent elsewhere, so transactions build and broadcast cleanly the first time.
• Paymail payments notify the recipient's wallet automatically.
• A steadier interpreter — several edge cases that could interrupt a session are now handled gracefully, and large transactions are faster.
• Refreshed Settings, and a smoother wallet loading animation.
