## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-06-30

• Faster, more reliable photo and video backup — large videos no longer interrupt your uploads.
• Live upload status in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, with a real-time progress counter.
• Uploads keep going when you briefly switch apps, and reconnect smoothly.
• Stability and performance improvements.

### 2.1 — 2026-06-28

This update focuses on security and reliability:

• Stronger connection security — your access code and session are now sent only over an encrypted, certificate-pinned connection to your server. The app no longer falls back to an unencrypted connection, and it stops safely if your server's identity can't be verified.
• Credentials are now stored device-only — they're never included in backups or transferred to another device.
• More reliable folder browsing and uploads on servers that share multiple folders.
• General stability improvements.

### 2.0 — 2026-05-20

A big update focused on staying connected, security, and reliability.

  Secure connections (HTTPS)
  Photos and your access code are now encrypted between your iPhone and your computer. The app verifies your server's
  identity automatically.

  Stays connected
  - Reconnects automatically when you open the app — no re-typing your address or code.
  - A banner now lets you recover instantly if the server drops, instead of dumping you back to the login screen.
  - Your access code is saved securely in the iPhone Keychain.

  Multiple folders
  Your computer can now share several folders. Switch between them right from the Browse and Upload tabs with a tap.

  Wi-Fi reminders
  The app remembers which Wi-Fi your server is on and reminds you to join it when reconnecting.

  Faster browsing
  - Thumbnails are cached and pre-loaded, so scrolling is much smoother.
  - Pull to refresh, with a "last updated" indicator.

  Sharing & saving
  Save any photo or video to your iPhone, or share it straight from full-screen view.

  App Lock
  Optionally require Face ID / Touch ID to open the app.

   Fixes & polish
  - Fixed a crash when uploading large videos.
  - Fixed being stuck on "Couldn't load this folder" — clear error messages and one-tap recovery now.
  - Swipe down to dismiss full-screen photos; haptic feedback throughout.
  - Friendlier empty states and a built-in setup guide on the login screen.

### 1.0 — 2026-03-26

No release notes.
