What's New in Kiveo
1.3.0
August 26, 2026
We're calling this one Woodbine. Three additions, all quiet. Quote Scanner Point your camera at a printed page and Kiveo lifts the words for you. No typing, no losing your place. The line stays with the book it came from. Intentions A gentle reading intention, if you want one. Private, optional, and you can set it down at any time - there is no record of having stopped. Re-reads Some books deserve a second visit. Kiveo now keeps every reading of a book, not just the most recent one, so returning to an old favorite doesn't overwrite the first time. Plus a handful of smaller repairs. Thank you for reading with Kiveo.
