## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.2 — 2026-07-29

1.7.2 — Edit your notes, rename your files

- Notes you've saved can now be edited. Open a note and tap Edit to change the title or rewrite the text.
- Your existing note is never at risk while you edit. The previous version is replaced only once the new text has been saved in full.
- Photos, videos, and files in your vault can be renamed to whatever you like. Enter edit mode, select a single item, and tap Rename.
- Renaming leaves the original file and its extension untouched, so previews and exports keep working exactly as before.

### 1.7.1 — 2026-07-21

1.7.1 — Important stability fix

- Fixed an issue where, after updating, existing folders could appear duplicated and saved photos, videos, and files couldn't be previewed. Just update to this version — without deleting the app — and your data is restored automatically. Your originals were safe on your device the whole time.
- Fixed the root cause: the app could misread its vault data when launched in the background while the device was locked. This can no longer happen.

### 1.7 — 2026-07-19

1.6 — Better video playback and reliability

- Fixed older videos getting stuck on loading — every video now plays right away
- Fixed the video play button not responding
- Voice unlock is more accurate — a vibration now signals when to start speaking, so your first words are never cut off
- You can now unlock with your device passcode when Face ID is unavailable
- If storage runs low, you're notified right away and your original photos in the library stay untouched
- New share button in the viewer — export the photo or video you're looking at with one tap (bottom left)
- Thumbnails appear much faster when opening folders
- Support for Gemini's new share link format (share.gemini.google)
- Imported AI conversations now keep their real conversation titles
- Images in imported AI conversations are now saved in high resolution
- Fixed some videos not carrying over when merging vaults
- Fixed being signed out after a password reset when the network was unstable

### 1.5 — 2026-07-16

1.4 — Smoother gallery and stronger security

- Photos and videos now flow together in one gallery — swipe seamlessly between them, just like the Photos app
- Swipe down on a photo or video to close the viewer
- Cleaner viewer: file names are no longer shown, and the video player no longer overlaps the close button and page counter
- Fixed PIN change failing for vaults containing videos
- Added a safeguard that prevents setting a PIN already used by another vault
- New "Failed" filter in the access log — review only failed unlock attempts at a glance
- Tap anywhere on the login screen to dismiss the keyboard
