What's New in Prose & Pigment
1.1
October 30, 2026
What's new in 1.1 • Paste text straight from your clipboard — it opens as a typeset page. iOS asks permission each time; pasted text is never saved or sent. • Highlights and tinted callouts — notes, tips, warnings, and more — now render in every theme. • Code blocks and wide tables stay inside the page margins on iPad. • Reading is more resilient: pages recover after the system reclaims them, a document can no longer wedge the reader open, oversized files are declined with a clear message, and Retry no longer double-fires. • Refreshed wordmark on the home screen. • After you've read a document more than once, the app may ask for an App Store rating — never on first launch, never after an error. Your thoughts are especially helpful to a small team like ours.
