What's New in OpenManual

1.2

September 23, 2026

1.2 is a cleanup release, mostly stuff I found going back through the app screen by screen like I was seeing it for the first time. • When the same manual shows up on three different sites you get one card now instead of three, and the card tells you where else it was. The copies don't take up the spots for other documents anymore either, so there's room for different ones instead of three of the same. • If the maker has the manual on its own site, that one comes first now and the card says it's from the maker. Before, a copy on some manual site could land above the real thing. • The archive search only opens things whose title actually names your device now, one file each. The Instant Pot search that used to take over a minute took about six seconds in my tests. • The scan screen used to leave "Could not capture a frame" up even while it was reading the label just fine. It clears itself now as soon as the camera's working. • On the medical device page the class and MRI badges were showing up as empty bubbles. They say what they're supposed to now. • Answers used to start with a few stray bullet points before the actual quote. Those are gone. • Typing a UDI or asking a question left the keyboard sitting on top of the answer. Identify and Ask put it away now. • On iPad the screens stay a normal reading width instead of stretching across the whole thing, and the text holds up at the biggest text sizes without breaking words in half. • When it saves a web page as a PDF it sticks to that page now and won't follow a redirect somewhere it shouldn't. • The example list has a ResMed CPAP in it instead of a surgical camera coupler. • There's a Rate OpenManual link in Settings now if you want to leave a review.
