What's New in Lumen Grimoire

1.0.6

August 16, 2026

Small fix, real difference on smaller screens. - The Today screen now adapts properly on compact displays, including when Display Zoom is on — no more content running off the edge. - The Cards overlay are also fixed on compact displays, including when Display Zoom is on. As always, thank you for the kind messages — hearing that Lumen has found a place in your days means the world to a one-person studio. I read and answer every note, so keep them coming.

Won’t Load Past Tuning

It looks like a wonderful app, and I would like to try it but it gets to where it says”Tuning your Codex” and just stays there. I think 5 mins of waiting for it to load is too long, but I let it go even longer-nothing. I restarted it and started everything all over, again same issue. Just won’t go past that page. Kinda leary to get into the app and have problems like this later on and lose all my progress. Seems like it needs fixes.

Response from developer

1.0.5 is now live, and this is fixed. You weren't doing anything wrong. On certain display sizes the Continue button on that screen sat below the visible area, so it read as a loader that never finished — waiting longer was never going to help. The screen has been rebuilt so the content adapts to the size of your display and the button is always reachable. On your other concern: nothing was ever at risk. It was a layout problem, not a data one — entries are stored on your device and were never in danger. Thank you for the detail you wrote; it's what made this findable. If you'd like to give it another try, it should work now.

Well

I can't get my keyboard to get out of the way trying to make my first addition so I didn't get past part 1. my keyboard (all of them) have absolutely no way for me to swipe it away or close it and the one keyboard that ever let me is deceased now. So I was unable to scroll down enough to insert my first entry and my emotion to it

Response from developer

Fixed in 1.0.5, now live. The issue was specific to third-party keyboards: they're taller, which pushed the mood picker below what the screen could scroll to, and there was no way to dismiss the keyboard to get at it — so a first entry couldn't be finished. Both fixed, and tested on device with a third-party keyboard installed. Thank you for the report and for coming back to update your review earlier. It's the kind of detail that makes a bug findable.

Beautiful

The art work on this app is beautiful.
