### 3.1.1 — 2026-09-27

Minor fixes

### 3.1 — 2026-09-22

Punch-In 3.0

A lot has changed since 2.8.86. In layman’s terms: you can bring paperwork and files to a session, lives got a real studio-camera setup, battles got bigger, and chat got project rooms.

NAMES THAT CHANGED
• Takes is now Patch-In (going live)
• Punch-In Listener on Mac is now Patch-In Remote
• Media Library is now Cloud Library

BOOKING
• Studios can require a PDF session agreement before you confirm
• Send prep files to a booking from Cloud Library. Free 500 MB / Punch Pass 2 GB per session. Files expire in about 72 hours unless you keep them
• Engineers can send mixes back on the booking after payment
• Save session templates so the next session isn’t a blank DAW
• Refunds hub under Book
• Upcoming sessions can show on your Lock Screen
• Punch Pass studios can import Google Calendar busy times so rooms don’t double-book
• Unpaid leftover sessions get a reminder, then can auto-cancel
• Clearer inbox: who still needs to approve, refund status, fewer leftover buttons

PATCH-IN
• Two co-hosts (was one), a video grid, and studio camera next to your phone
• Listen mix for host, co-hosts, and Remote
• Lives end after 2 hours so forgotten streams don’t run all night
• Patch-In Remote (Punch Pass) sends studio sound and camera from a Mac

BATTLES
• Join, Vote, and My Battles
• Free-for-All with up to 16 people
• Photo, Video, and DJ battles
• Producer Kit Challenge (shared kit; kit-only or kit + your sounds)
• Lifetime Level 10+ can host invite-only battles
• Vote comments, Won/Lost labels, clearer XP

CHAT & FILES
• Workspaces: project chat with files, to-dos, and Drive. Free: 1. Punch Pass: 5
• Cloud Library shows active uploads and downloads, including Beat Catalog

APP FEEL
• Scroll down on Feed and the tab bar tucks away
• Online dots on Search
• Report a post, or Report a Bug in Settings
• Clearer sign-in, welcome slides, and provider setup
• Team performance dashboard for studio owners
• Services grouped by category again
• The Drop can lock downloads to a U.S. state

LIMITS THAT CHANGED
• Free Collab requests: 2 → 5 (Punch Pass still unlimited)
• Custom profile backdrop photo is Punch Pass only
• Phone sign-in should land you on your real account

Punch Pass still unlocks Remote, extra workspaces, more storage, Google busy import, and cover photo options.

### 2.8.86 — 2026-07-13

• Booking email updates — Get session confirmations, changes, and cancellations by email (toggle in Settings → Notifications).
• Facility map — See how far studios and events are from you, copy addresses, and open directions in Maps.
• Chat improvements — Redesigned message composer, easier emoji reactions, and swipe to mark threads as read.
• Discovery cards — Profile photos now center by default so cards look better across the app.
• Beats — Discovery and search only surface beats from producers ready to sell.
• Account types — Event centers and podcasts can now share a profile with artist, producer, videographer, or photographer roles.
• Settings — New Subscription tile in the settings hub.
