Release notes

Every build that reaches a tester gets an entry here. What changed is what it says, no gloss.

1.0 (build 5) · Credits on your Apple Account · October 2026

• Credits now live on an account. The first time you use an AI feature or buy credits, the app asks you to Sign in with Apple, once. It asks for no name and no email. Your weekly free allowance and the credits you buy are then shared by every device signed into the same Apple Account, so an iPad or a new phone just signs in.
• Nothing else needs a sign-in. Scanning, your collection, search, labels, exports, and backups work exactly as before. Books you scan before signing in wait on your phone and are analyzed once you sign in.
• Sign out, or delete the account. Both are on the Credits screen. Signing out affects only that device. Deleting the account removes it on every device and forfeits any unspent credits; the privacy policy says exactly what is deleted and what is kept.
• Credits were reset. Beta balances from earlier builds, sandbox purchases included, start fresh with this build.

Builds 3 and 4 were the App Store submission builds: an easier way to reach the Credits screen from Settings, and purchase fixes.

1.0 (build 2) · First TestFlight beta · September 2026

The first build to leave the developer's own phone.

Everything is new in this one, so this entry is an inventory of what ships rather than a list of changes:

• Scan and identify. Point the camera at a cover. The app identifies the book, suggests a grade from your photos, and estimates a value. Corrections are free.
• Advanced Grading. Front, back, spine, and corners become a defect-by-defect condition report with a suggested grade, best appreciated on a book in rough shape.
• Ballpark values. Price a whole stack in batches, and refresh estimates later when the market moves.
• Hot Books. A daily look at books moving in the market, with sources credited and linked.
• Credits. A free weekly allowance for everyone, credit packs for heavy weeks. During the beta, purchases run in Apple's sandbox and charge nothing.
• Private by design. No account, no login. Your collection lives on your phone; the server sees only the single photo being analyzed.
• Backup and restore. Export the whole collection to an archive and bring it back, on this phone or the next one.

Known in this build: iPhone only, though it installs on iPad in compatibility mode. Scanning and pricing need a network connection; browsing your collection does not.

Found something broken? Support has the address. A screenshot and the rough time it happened are usually enough for us to find it.
