What's New in Permission
1.8.0
October 14, 2026
Now made for iPad and the iPhone Duo. Permission fills the whole screen on iPad, upright or sideways, and on the iPhone Duo, open or closed. Turn it sideways and it spreads into two columns: your journal beside today's invitation, and a bigger page to draw on, with the drawing tools in a side column. Held upright on iPhone, Permission looks just as it did. Everything still stays on your device.
