## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-02-04

Meet v2 — your photos, reimagined.                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
AI-powered analysis runs directly on your device to understand what's in every photo — the people, places, moments, and themes that matter to you. No cloud upload, no privacy trade-offs.                                    
                                                            
Once analyzed, your library organizes itself into Smart Collections automatically. Find your best travel shots, group photos by the people in them, or discover moments you'd forgotten — all without lifting a finger.

New in v2:
  - Smart Collections — AI automatically groups your photos by people, places, events, and themes
  - Powerful Search — Find any photo by describing it in plain language
  - Timeline View — Browse your library the way it happened
  - Duplicate Detection — Find and clean up duplicate photos instantly
  - Quality Scores — AI highlights your best shots

Try everything free for 7 days. After that, keep 1,000 analyzed photos at no cost, or upgrade to Premium for unlimited access to your full library.

### 1.8 — 2025-12-15

What's New:
   - Fixed photo loading reliability: Resolved intermittent issue where photos sometimes don't load on app startup. Photos now load consistently on first launch and when returning to the app.
   - Improved freemium experience: Refined analysis limit handling to provide more intuitive behavior when reaching photo analysis limits
   - Smart analysis counter reset: For freemium users who have reached their analysis limit, the app now clearly indicates when the counter will reset and analysis will continue from the beginning
   - Better subscription status handling: Enhanced logic for managing analysis permissions based on subscription status
   - Improved startup stability: Enhanced PhotoKit initialization timing to ensure smoother and more reliable photo library access
   - Various stability fixes: Minor bug fixes and performance improvements

  These updates address critical issues that were affecting app reliability, particularly for users experiencing problems with photo loading on startup and freemium usage limits.

### 1.6 — 2025-12-14

There were some bug fixes made. All photos in the library were showing instead of the 1000 freemium limit. All photos were being analysed instead of the 1000 only from freemium limit. I also removed the debug panel
