• Sivolo stays responsive while it updates your Trusted Circle after a change.

v7.0.21

• Adding a photo, video or file to a journal entry now keeps your place on the form.

v7.0.12

• Setting up Secure Cloud Backup now takes two short steps: your passphrase, then your recovery phrase.
• Fixed: if you use Secure Cloud Backup and edited a journal entry, the copy in your backup, on your other devices and shared with your Trusted Circle could carry a trusted timestamp for an earlier version of that entry.

• Check now shows clearly on the LOG card when a log can't be analysed, including a wrong identifier for the other person.

v6.47.13

v6.47.11

• In the Web App, the first-run Terms and notifications card now sits in the middle of the screen instead of spanning its full width.

• Exporting a PDF from the Reports list brings you back to the report you exported, not the top of the list.
• The Journal's action menu now matches Reports and Trusted Circle: New Journal sits at the bottom, and while selecting, Export PDF leads.
• With Reduce Motion turned on, the status dots stay still.
• The Trusted Circle notes badge is now the same height as the badges beside it.

v6.47.8

• A report waiting to be collected now breathes gently and then rests; in its last hour, and once its deadline has passed, it blinks.

• The select boxes on Reports and Trusted Circle are easier to tap.

v6.47.7

• The pulsing status dot and the READY pill now breathe in gentle steps - the same rhythm, using far less battery.

• Exporting one report from the Reports list now brings you back to the list when the export finishes.
• The Trusted Circle viewer's Export PDF choices now appear in the same order as in the app.
• Trusted Circle contacts can now be sorted by name, A to Z or Z to A.
• A renamed saved place now appears in the right spot on the map straight away.

v6.47.2

• The Context Viewer should now open on the analysed message and stay still. If it still jumps, send your Performance log from Settings - it now records what the viewer did.
• An exported report PDF's Misattribution Risk section now lists the at-risk messages the app shows, under Provocation -> Reaction Pairings in Log - including for reports you already have, when you export them again.
• A report's PDF filename now starts with the date and time it was analysed, whether you export it from the app or from the Trusted Circle viewer.
• Small pop-up cards, such as Mark this place, no longer grow into a tall blank space when the keyboard opens.
• At large text sizes, Delete permanently now stays on the Recently Deleted card, below Restore.

v6.47.1

• The Manufactured Jealousy section lists its individual instances again - including in reports you have already exported or shared.
• If you exported or shared a report whose Manufactured Jealousy section looked empty, open it again - the instances are there now.
• A journal entry's location trail now always opens on that entry's own place, not the last one you looked at.
• Opening an Insight card no longer shows a scroll arrow over its title before you have scrolled.

• Speed-dial button labels are the same size on every screen.
• The Context Viewer no longer jumps up and down before settling.

v6.47.0

• The app's warm grey now means one thing: something you can type in or press. Cards that only show you something are plain, and anything deleted or former is a dashed outline.
• Badges are consistent for the first time - one size and one shape, and a small info icon on the ones that open an explanation when you tap them.
• Every main screen now has a back link to where you actually came from; the tab bar still takes you Home.
• Reports: tick several reports and Export PDF gives you one zip, asking each question once, with any journal entries attached to a report exported alongside it.
• On the web, Export PDF works for one ticked report at a time; the tab opens as soon as you tap.
• In the journal's Media and Map views, Delete All and Export All act only on what that view is showing.
• Trusted Circle on the web now says it is part of Plus rather than looking empty.

v6.46.0

• On Reports, the READY marker at the top turns red when a report is less than a day from deletion.

v6.45.1

• The Journal and Analyse screens keep the line you are typing above the Save and Next buttons, including when you switch to the emoji keyboard.

• The Trusted Circle status pills stay readable at the largest text sizes.
• Opening the conversation context from a report no longer jumps after it appears.

v6.44.1

• Trusted Circle no longer says your circle is empty when it simply could not check - it tells you it could not reach your backup, and recovers on its own when the connection returns.

v6.44.0

• If Sivolo cannot reach your backup, it says so plainly and never suggests your backup passphrase or recovery phrase was wrong.
• Trusted Circle no longer reports that you have no backup or no contacts when it is simply offline, and it recovers on its own once the connection returns.
• Turning off report sharing for a contact now tells you what else that removes, and asks you to confirm before it does.
• The Journal text box keeps the line you are typing in view on iPhone, however long the entry gets.
• Failure messages in Trusted Circle are now recorded in the Performance Log, so a problem you report can be traced.

v6.43.0

• A contact's permissions grid shows exactly which of your reports that contact can see.
• If granting a contact access does not complete, the reason stays on screen long enough to read.

• The Run button no longer says "Submitting" before you have confirmed the analysis.

v6.42.8

• A confirmation step now states what an analysis costs before it runs, on single and yearly runs alike.
• Choose which years of a multi-year log to analyse - tick only the years you want before running.
• A year that could not be queued now shows as not queued, so a yearly run's progress reflects what was sent.
• The Extras step reads Next, and says on the Background context field itself that it is optional.

v6.42.7

v6.42.6

v6.42.5

• Reports now opens with its control strip tidied away at the top of the screen, every time you go there.

v6.42.4

• The Analyse header is just two icons now, and the step screens lost a stray dividing line.

• Analysis settings on the Extras step now apply to that analysis only.
• If adding a Trusted Circle contact fails because the connection drops, your answers are kept.

v6.41.1

• Fixes a serious problem where re-granting or resending a Trusted Circle link could silently remove that contact's access to your shared journal entries. Re-granting now shows progress and can be cancelled, and the viewer explains itself better.

v6.41.0

• Groundwork for faster Trusted Circle invitations - nothing else changes in this update.

v6.40.7

• If a contact could not be given some of your journal, the app now tells you exactly how many entries and attachments were left out instead of saying nothing.
• Adding a contact is still slow at the "Sending the invitation" step - that fix needs a new app build from the store, not an update, and is coming next.

v6.40.3

• You can now choose individual reports or journal entries and act on just those, from the actions button.
• With nothing chosen, Delete All and Restore All act on the items currently shown and say so in their labels.
• The Show and Sort menus use the same lettering as the filter chips.
• The analysis price card has a title and a clearer style.

v6.40.2

• Revoke Access and Delete are now always in the Trusted Circle actions, not only after choosing contacts.
• With nothing chosen they read Revoke All and Delete All, and the confirmation names everyone it would affect.
• They act on the contacts currently shown, so narrowing the list with a filter narrows what they act on.

v6.40.1

• Filter menus now show how many items each option will find, and options that would find none are no longer offered.
• In Media and Map views the counts describe what that view will show, so a filter never offers more than it delivers.
• A filter you have already chosen stays on screen even when it now finds nothing, so you can always undo it.
• The Guide entry for what the coloured dots mean now carries a larger, clearer icon.

v6.40.0

• ⚠ NEW INSTALL, not an over-the-air update - this build changes how expo-print is compiled on Android, and that cannot reach you any other way.
• Crisis Capture readiness now shows as a steady gold dot on Protect. Please check it appears when location or the microphone has not been granted, and clears once you grant them.
• A capture that is actually RECORDING still pulses, and an unready one is steady - please confirm you can tell the two apart at a glance.
• Android: export a report and a journal entry and confirm the PDF renders. That path had no render watchdog in the last two builds.
• Sharing with your Trusted Circle now asks you to choose an access code, and your contact is asked for it before they can open the link. Please try one end to end.
• A photo you remove from a Trusted Circle contact should stay removed - including on your other devices, and after being offline when you removed it.

v6.39.39

• ⚠ NEW INSTALL, not an over-the-air update - this build carries the native PDF render watchdog that could not reach you in v6.39.38.
• The Trusted Circle "Export All Contacts" PDF now opens on a picture of your circle, with everyone's name, access and status listed underneath, before the detail pages.
• The up/down scroll arrows now sit at the left edge on every screen, matching Reports and the Journal, instead of floating in the middle.
• Opening a report now shows the same folder mark as the Reports list and the Home tile.
• In Settings, the Crisis Capture & Safety heading has its shield back - it was blank.
• An edit you make on one device now reaches your other devices, and survives closing the app - reports and journal entries could previously get stuck and stop syncing entirely.
• Recently Deleted now shows what you deleted on THIS device, with a line telling you how many more were deleted elsewhere; Restore all and Purge all act on what you can see.
• Opening a journal entry that is still syncing, or that has been deleted, now tells you which of the two it is instead of showing a blank screen you cannot leave.
• Large photos and recordings attached to a journal entry no longer freeze the app while they are being encrypted.

v6.39.38

• ⚠ Same new install as the build below - one binary carries both fixes. This one clears a serious fault where the Backup screen could leave the app on a blank white screen on Android, or close it straight to the home screen on iOS. If you have seen either, please tell us if it recurs.

v6.39.36

• Where a button label wraps onto two lines - the Journal's List / Calendar / Media / Map switcher, and a few Trusted Circle buttons - the second line is now centred rather than pushed to the left. You will only notice it at larger text sizes.

v6.39.35

• Saving your Recovery Sheet, and exporting your Trusted Circle register, now show the same progress dialog the other exports use, ending with Share or Discard. Both also stop waiting silently if the PDF cannot be produced, and tell you instead.

v6.39.34

• Nothing changes on screen in this build. It adds timing detail to the backup logs so we can find what makes the app freeze for up to a minute while it is syncing. If you hit a freeze - the screen scrolls but buttons do nothing - please note roughly when, and what you were doing.

v6.39.33

• Exporting a SINGLE journal entry to PDF (or PDF + GPS) now shows the same progress dialog as a whole-journal export, with a Share or Discard step at the end.

v6.39.32

• The report details sheet no longer claims an "auto-saved file" - it now says "Exports as" and explains that no file exists until you export one. The report header says "Updated" instead of "Auto-saved".

v6.39.31

• An imported report's details now say "Imported on" rather than "Delivered on", and the note at the top names exactly which rows are the sender's and which are yours.

v6.39.30

• An imported report's details no longer show your own device under "Delivered on" - that row is the sender's, or it is absent.

v6.39.29

• The import dialog's timer no longer counts the seconds you spend typing your password - it now shows how long the app actually took.

v6.39.28

• When you export, the dialog now tells you that your account email is inside the file so it can be attributed as evidence.
• The app should no longer sit on "Unlocking…" - nothing backs up or syncs until you are in.
• Import Notes now works on password-protected.sivolo files. It used to say the file had no notes in it, which was wrong - it simply could not open it.
• The performance log's Copy button now shows its confirmation where you can see it. The copy was always working; the message was hidden behind the Android navigation bar.
• Exporting a report as a PDF now shows the same progress dialog as the journal export, and waits for you to tap Share or save instead of jumping to the share sheet.
• Tap the (i) on a report and you can now see which device and account produced it, where it was delivered, and which device you are reading this copy on.
• An imported report now says plainly that the details shown are the sender's, not yours, and "Packaged" is now "Exported by sender".

v6.39.27

• The export dialog no longer looks stuck at the end - every step is ticked and the bar is full when it says the export is ready.
• Tapping "View this report" or "Share or save" now shows straight away that your tap was registered, instead of appearing to do nothing on a large file.
• An imported report now wears a green NEW IMPORT badge on its card until you open it, so you can find it at a glance - the green bar across the top of the list has gone.

v6.39.26

• Exports no longer jump straight to the share sheet - the dialog now finishes, shows you what it did, and waits for you to tap "Share or save" or "Discard".
• After an import you choose where to go next - straight into the report, or back to your reports list.

v6.39.25

• Password dialogs no longer trap you - if the keyboard covers a field, the dialog now scrolls so you can reach it, on both the export and import password sheets and on the backup unlock sheet.
• Please retry the Android password entry that failed last build - export an encrypted report, then import it, checking that both password fields stay reachable with the keyboard up.

v6.39.24

• The export and import progress dialogs now look like the rest of the app - a proper coral title, branded icons instead of typed characters, and no spinner.
• A long imported filename no longer takes over the dialog - it shortens in the middle so you can still see both ends.

v6.39.23

• The Journal PDF export failed right at the end on the last build - fixed.
• The progress dialog now matches the rest of the app - the coral spinner is back, the progress bar reads as four segments, and the buttons look like the app's other dialogs.

v6.39.21

• Exporting your whole Journal to PDF now shows a progress dialog telling you which step it is on, instead of nothing at all. Please try it with as many entries as you have.
• Importing and exporting Report Data files show the same dialog. You should never again be left wondering whether your tap registered.
• You can tap "Continue in background" after five seconds to put the dialog away and let the export finish - the share sheet still appears when it is ready.
• You can cancel an export at any point. On an IMPORT the cancel button disappears once it starts saving, because stopping half-way would leave you with an incomplete report.

v6.39.20

• Importing a password-protected report file on iPhone no longer leaves the app frozen.
• The import always worked - it was the app that would not respond afterwards, and the only way out was to force-quit it. Please try an encrypted import and keep tapping around.
• Exporting a report with a password should feel the same way. That path had the same fault, so it is worth a try even though it was harder to trigger.
• While a file is being decrypted or encrypted, the dimmed "please wait" layer no longer covers the clock and battery at the very top of the screen. That change is deliberate - tell us if it looks wrong to you.

v6.39.19

• Restoring everything from Recently Deleted no longer locks the app up while it works.
• This applies to both Reports and Journal, on the phone apps and in the web app.
• An empty Journal now reads as one block instead of one line stranded under the bin.

v6.39.18

• The Recently Deleted badge now shows how long you have left to restore an item.
• Buttons that cannot do anything on the screen you are on are no longer offered.
• A button that is temporarily busy now looks clearly unavailable rather than faintly so.
• An empty Journal now looks like an empty Reports list, and says what is in your bin.
• Backup and Restore history records restores and auto-backup changes, not just backups.

v6.39.17

• The Web App has its action buttons back on Reports, Journal and both detail screens.
• Web buttons now read in the same order as the phone, so the two feel like one product.
• You can delete a single report from the Web App again, from the report's own screen.
• Delete and Delete All on the Web App now use the same armed confirm as the phone does.

v6.39.16

• Recently Deleted now shows each report and journal entry as the main list does, so you can tell two apart.
• A RECENTLY DELETED badge sits on every card in the bin, so it is always clear which list you are looking at.
• Deleting every report now shows Recently Deleted straight away, with everything you deleted ready to restore.
• Update emails are shorter: what is new in this release, plus a count of the releases in between.

v6.39.15

• Tapping a report in your list now opens it straight away, instead of expanding a panel inside the list.
• Report cards show the risk, the dates, the message count and the first few lines of the summary, so you can find one at a glance.
• Recently Deleted now shows enough about each item to tell two apart before you delete one permanently.
• Both Reports and Journal have a "Restore all" button in Recently Deleted, next to "Delete all".
• If you delete your only report, Recently Deleted is still reachable - it used to disappear with the list.
• An empty Journal now tells you exactly which button to tap to write your first entry.

v6.39.14

• The upgrade screen now opens by naming what you tapped - Trusted Circle - rather than leading with backup.
• It also explains, beside the storage line, that secure backup is included with every account.
• The top banner is no longer amber, because nothing on it is a warning, and no longer touches the panel below.

v6.39.13

• Secure backup is included with every account, so the upgrade screen no longer offers it as something to buy.
• Sivolo Plus adds Trusted Circle and 50 GB of storage, and the screen now says exactly that.
• Settings now says "Collection window", not "Reports kept" - it never meant how long your saved reports last.
• The "Recently Deleted" card now names itself, so the two retention settings cannot be confused.
• Padlock, share and pencil symbols are now Sivolo icons, so they look identical on iPhone and Android.

v6.39.12

• If the app has been refusing to analyse your own message logs since mid-August, saying the log was too large, that was our bug and not your log.
• It is fixed, and beta accounts have no size limit and never did.
• The confirmation panel over the Delete All button is now readable against whatever is behind it.

v6.39.11

• The brand header no longer expands and collapses - it is always the compact row, on every screen, which gives every screen back about 32dp of space.
• Delete and Delete All have moved into the floating ACTIONS button, at the TOP of the list - furthest from your thumb - and now ask you to confirm before anything happens.
• Delete All no longer destroys anything permanently: it moves everything to Recently Deleted, where you can restore it, exactly like deleting one item. Journal has a Delete All for the first time, and Reports can be deleted from the report itself.
• Android journal PDF exports should have their maps back. Please export the whole journal and check every located entry has its map.

v6.39.10

• Nothing to look for in the app - this build only adds internal diagnostics and changes no behaviour.

v6.39.8

• With Reduce Motion (iPhone) or Reduce animations (Android) switched on, the ACTIONS button now opens properly - the three buttons were invisible before.
• The labels on the lighter action buttons are much easier to read, especially in bright light.

v6.39.7

• The report's action buttons now rest as one "ACTIONS: 3" button. Tap it and they open over a dimmed page, so they never sit on top of what you are reading.
• The header now reads "iOS v6.39.7". Platform and Edition have moved into Settings, About.
• An uncollected analysis really counts down now, and turns red inside the last 24 hours. It used to freeze at whatever it said when you opened the screen.

v6.39.6

• The scroll chevrons have SPLIT - "jump to top" now sits at the TOP left, "jump to bottom" at the bottom left. They used to sit together, where a mis-tap sent you to the opposite end of a long report.
• Android only - the pale rectangle showing inside the floating buttons is gone.
• Android only - when the header shrinks on scroll, RELATIONSHIP SAFETY & INSIGHT is readable again instead of collapsing to a few pixels.
• Tapping Export PDF on a Journal now offers Cancel. On iPhone that dialog previously had NO way out at all - an accidental tap forced you to export something.

v6.39.5

• On a report, the export buttons have left the bar under the header and become a floating stack at the bottom right, in reach of your thumb. The scroll chevrons have moved to the bottom LEFT.
• Scrolling down a report now shrinks the Sivolo header to a single brand row, giving the report about a third more of the screen. It stays shrunk until you scroll back to the very top or change screen - that is deliberate, not a bug.
• Nothing moves on Home, Protect, the 999 screen or the capture screens. Those keep their fixed header on purpose.
• The 999 screen now reads the emergency number to VoiceOver and TalkBack digit by digit ("nine, nine, nine") instead of as a number ("nine hundred and ninety nine").

v6.39.4

• The "tap again to delete" confirmation now shows in full strength red on Reports card notes and Journal entry notes too - the two places v6.39.2 missed.

v6.39.3

• A note you add on a report card in the Reports list no longer appears under Executive Summary. Open NOTES INDEX and tap it - it opens there, with Edit, Delete and History.
• Notes index rows now use two different markers: a chevron means "takes you to it", a triangle means "opens here".
• Exported PDFs gain a short REPORT NOTES section after the cover page. Nothing has been removed from the export.

v6.39.2

• The "tap again to delete" confirmation now shows in full strength red instead of looking washed out.

v6.39.1

• The "tap again to delete" confirmation now also covers notes on the analysis instance cards — the one place it was still missing.

v6.38.2

• If the app has been refusing to analyse your own message logs since mid-August, saying the log was too large, that was our bug and not your log.
• It is fixed, and beta accounts have no size limit and never did.

v6.38.1

• If you permanently delete a crisis capture, it now stays deleted on a NEW phone too. Until this build, deleting a recording was only remembered on the phone you deleted it from - so if you replaced your phone and restored your backup, the new phone did not know, and it could rebuild the deleted recording and put it back in your Journal. Your account now remembers the deletion itself, for 90 days, so any phone you sign in on knows it was deliberate. Nothing about this is visible on screen; the test is that a capture you delete does not come back.
• One thing that is NOT finished, so you know what to expect: if a recording made it into your backup but the phone was lost or taken before it finished saving the Journal entry, the app can now tell that the recording is there and unaccounted for - but there is still no screen that offers it back to you. That part is designed and agreed and comes next. For now it is recorded in the app's own diagnostics only.

v6.38.0

• Nothing you can see has changed in this build, and unlike the last one, nothing you could have run into either. A journal entry can in principle hold more than one crisis-capture recording, and the part of the app that remembers "the owner deleted this on purpose" could only remember one of them - so a second recording could have been rebuilt from your cloud backup and reappear. We could not find any way to actually create an entry like that, on your phones or in the code, so nobody has hit this. It is fixed before it can become possible, and the app now refuses outright to file one recording under another recording's name.

v6.37.5

• Nothing you can see has changed in this build. It fixes a fault in how the app told our server that you had deleted something for good - the message was being lost, and a deleted crisis capture could then come back from your cloud backup. If you have ever had a deleted recording reappear, this is the cause, and it is now fixed.

v6.37.4

• If you delete a crisis capture, it stays deleted. A bug meant a deleted capture could be rebuilt from your cloud backup and reappear in your Journal the next time the app synced - twice now. The app no longer treats a capture you have finished with as something lost that needs rescuing.
• If a recovered capture ever DOES appear, the message no longer tells you to delete the recording. If the app is not sure, you keep the recording and decide yourself.

v6.37.3

• Crisis Capture's GET READY NOW card now checks whether your phone is set to Precise or Approximate location. Approximate is not enough for evidence - it only places you within about a kilometre - so the card will say "Not ready yet" and point you at the "Use precise location" switch in your phone's settings. (iPhones are not affected; the app cannot read that setting on iOS.)
• When you tap GET READY NOW on Android, you now get a short note explaining that your phone will ask twice, and that "Allow all the time" is on the settings screen it opens next - it is not in the first box. Several of us tapped "While using the app" and assumed we were done. We were not: the location trail stops the moment the screen locks.

v6.37.2

• Settings > About > "Replay location disclosure" now does nothing visible when you tap it - that is correct. Force-quit Sivolo and reopen, and the location screen appears at start-up the way a new user sees it. Last version it popped up immediately, on top of the instructions telling you not to dismiss it.
• That reset no longer replays the welcome walkthrough, only the location screen. The walkthrough is still there any time behind the "?" at the top of the screen.

v6.37.1

• The location screen you saw at first open now has the little coral chevron when there is more to read below - the last section was being cut off mid-sentence.
• Settings > About has a new "Replay first-open screens - Reset" row. Tap it to see the location screen and the welcome walkthrough again without reinstalling. It changes nothing else: your journal, reports, backup and sign-in are untouched.
• That reset does NOT change your phone's location or microphone permissions - no app can. Change those in your phone's own settings if you want to see the permission prompts again.

v6.36.26

• A crisis capture you delete permanently now stays deleted. Before this, deleting one on a phone could bring it back on another device a minute later, as a new recovered entry with its audio.
• The recording behind a capture you deleted is now cleared from your cloud backup too, instead of being left there with nothing able to remove it.

v6.36.25

• An entry you delete permanently is now really gone everywhere. Delete one on your phone and it disappears from your other devices and from the web app too, instead of quietly coming back later. If another device still has a copy it had not heard about, your backup now repairs itself rather than getting stuck.

v6.36.24

• Nothing changes on your phone in this one. It is groundwork on our servers so that an entry you delete permanently can never be brought back by another device - the part of the app that uses it comes next.

v6.36.22

• The confirmation box now sits with a little space above the bottom bar instead of touching it.
• Opening a new Journal entry no longer sometimes shows a leftover "Discard it?" question from an earlier visit.
• Leaving an edit without saving now asks about your changes ("Yes, discard") instead of implying the whole entry was at risk.

v6.36.21

• The confirmation box no longer nudges itself back down after scrolling into view - it comes up once and stays put.

v6.36.20

• If two of your devices back up at almost the same moment, the second one now notices, brings the first one's changes across, and retries - nothing is overwritten either way.

v6.36.19

• Deleting or discarding something no longer opens a pop-up: the confirmation now appears right beside the button - tap the action once, then confirm it there (it counts down and cancels itself if you look away).
• If a confirmation would appear below the edge of the screen, the page now scrolls it into view for you. Every confirmation keeps exactly the same wording as before.

v6.36.18

• Deleting or discarding something no longer opens a pop-up: the confirmation now appears right beside the button - tap the action once, then confirm it there (it counts down and cancels itself if you look away).
• If a confirmation would appear below the edge of the screen, the page now scrolls it into view for you. Every confirmation keeps exactly the same wording as before.

v6.36.17

• Deleting or discarding something no longer opens a pop-up: the confirmation now appears right beside the button - tap the action once, then confirm it there (it counts down and cancels itself if you look away).
• If a confirmation would appear below the edge of the screen, the page now scrolls it into view for you. Every confirmation keeps exactly the same wording as before.

v6.36.16

• Deleting or discarding something no longer opens a pop-up: the confirmation now appears right beside the button - tap the action once, then confirm it there (it counts down and cancels itself if you look away).
• If a confirmation would appear below the edge of the screen, the page now scrolls it into view for you. Every confirmation keeps exactly the same wording as before.

v6.36.15

• Deleting or discarding something no longer opens a pop-up: the confirmation now appears right beside the button - tap the action once, then confirm it there (it counts down and cancels itself if you look away).
• If a confirmation would appear below the edge of the screen, the page now scrolls it into view for you. Every confirmation keeps exactly the same wording as before.

v6.36.14

• Log Out now signs you out the instant you confirm, even if the screen is busy or you have no connection - tap it once, then tap again to confirm.
• This is the one thing that must always work, so it no longer relies on a pop-up that could be missed.

v6.36.13

• Log Out now always signs you out of this device immediately, even with no internet connection.
• Signing out no longer depends on reaching our servers, so it can never get stuck.

v6.36.12

• Backing up now double-checks that this device has fully caught up with your cloud backup before it saves, so a device that is temporarily behind can no longer overwrite or remove entries it has not seen yet.
• The cloud backup itself now also refuses any single backup that would remove an unusually large share of your saved entries or attachments in one go.
• If a recording could not be recovered from any device or from the cloud, Sivolo now says so plainly instead of suggesting you try again.
• These are background protections - there is nothing new to tap, and nothing you need to do differently.

v6.36.11

• If a photo or recording was ever saved to your cloud backup as an empty file, Sivolo now notices and replaces it with the real one from whichever device still holds it.
• Your backup no longer treats an empty stored file as proof that an attachment is already safely backed up.
• This is a background correction - there is nothing new to tap, and nothing you need to do differently.

v6.36.10

• If two of your devices disagree about an entry and you tap "Decide later", the rest of your journal now backs up normally instead of the whole backup stopping.
• The Backup screen tells you how many entries are waiting on that decision, and confirms that both versions are still safe.
• There is a new "Show me the differences" link on the Backup screen that brings the comparison back up when you are ready to choose.
• Your cloud copy of a disputed entry is never overwritten until you have chosen which version to keep.

v6.36.09

• Tapping "Decide later" on a sync conflict now genuinely postpones it. Sivolo will only ask again if that entry actually changes on one of your devices.
• If a photo or recording was saved as an empty file, the app can now identify it and say which journal entry it belongs to.

v6.36.08

• A backup will no longer record an attachment as saved when there was nothing to save.
• If a photo or recording cannot be read on your device, the app now leaves your cloud copy alone instead of overwriting it.

v6.36.07

• Diagnostic only. A further detail is recorded when an attachment cannot be opened.
• Nothing you can see behaves differently in this version.

v6.36.06

• Diagnostic only. When an attachment cannot be opened, the app now records exactly which step failed.
• Nothing you can see behaves differently in this version.

v6.36.05

• Diagnostic only. When an internal operation fails, the app's performance log now records that it failed and why, instead of recording it as though it had succeeded.
• Nothing you can see behaves differently in this version.

v6.36.04

• Recording and capture lengths shown anywhere in the app now always round DOWN, never up - a length you are shown is a length the recording definitely contains.
• A capture's total time and its audio length can still differ by a second or so. They measure different things: how long the capture ran, and how much audio it holds.

v6.35.9

• Nothing you can see has changed in this update.
• It corrects the internal diagnostic logging added in the last build, which could describe a missing recording inaccurately in the developer log. Recording, playing and sharing are untouched.

v6.35.8

• Nothing you can see has changed in this update.
• It makes a deleted crisis recording recoverable for 90 days instead of gone immediately, and improves the internal diagnostic logging around recordings. Both are behind the scenes - recording, playing and sharing all behave exactly as before.

v6.35.7

• Nothing you can see has changed in this update.
• It adds internal diagnostic logging to the backup sync, which only appears on development builds and is not part of the app you are testing.

v6.35.6

• Nothing you can see has changed in this update either.
• It fixes four small problems in the internal diagnostic screen added in the last build, which only appears on development builds and is not part of the app you are testing.

v6.35.4

• The guidance about choosing your own Shortcut name now appears in a proper panel in the setup guide, instead of small print that was cut off before the end of the sentence.

v6.35.3

• When you make the iPhone Shortcut for Crisis Capture, you now choose its name yourself, and the setup screen explains why a name that means nothing to anyone else is the safer choice.
• The name you pick is also the phrase you say to Siri and the label you look for in Settings, and the screen now tells you that in the same place you choose it.

v6.35.2

• If you have allowed a Trusted Circle contact to see your notes, the notes you make on a report now appear for them in the report viewer, under the Executive Summary.
• If you have not allowed it, your notes now never leave your own devices at all - the switch does exactly what it says.

v6.35.1

• No visible changes in this update - it completes the behind-the-scenes work from the previous update that moves your notes into their own separately sealed compartment.

v6.35.0

• The "Show them my notes" switch for a Trusted Circle contact now explains, while it is switched off, that your notes are hidden in that contact's viewer but still travel inside the shared data for now, and that an update removing them entirely is being built.
• Behind the scenes, your own notes on a report now travel separately from the report itself, sealed under their own key - the first half of making that switch fully true.

v6.34.2

• The notes card at the top of a report now lines its title, its information icon and its count up together at the left, instead of flinging the count to the far edge of a wide screen.
• Nothing about your data changes in this update.

v6.34.1

• If you add a note on one device while another device is offline, and that other device had a note of its own, both notes now survive.
• Before, whichever device reconnected first won, and the other note was lost with no warning and no way to get it back.
• The notes card at the top of a report is now called NOTES INDEX, with an (i) that explains what it collects.

v6.33.10

• If you keep notes on an analysis AND it is edited on another device, Sivolo now keeps BOTH sets of notes whichever version you choose. Before, one set was silently lost.
• The Sync conflict dialog now has a "Decide later" button. It always could be postponed, but there was nothing to tap - you had to guess that the back gesture would do it.
• That dialog now names the analysis that forked and when it was delivered, instead of just saying "Analysis".
• On a journal entry with a Trusted Circle note, the Add note button no longer sits right on top of the contact's Reply link.

v6.33.09

• On a journal entry, NOTES now has its own coral heading like Media Attachments and Details, instead of sitting in a box tucked under the photos.
• The Add note button now sits at the BOTTOM of the notes, after anything a Trusted Circle contact has written. It used to get stranded in the middle.
• If you tap Add note when a contact has left a note, the typing box now opens below their note rather than above it. That is intended — please tell us if it feels wrong.

v6.33.08

• In the shared Trusted Circle viewer, a file too large for cloud backup now carries the same NOT BACKED UP label the apps use.

v6.33.07

• On Android the NOT BACKED UP label now shrinks slightly so it fits on one line.
• If you see it cut short rather than shrunk, please tell us — that would be worse than the two lines it had before.

v6.33.06

• The NOT BACKED UP label now sits neatly under its thumbnail instead of spilling into the next one. Same label, tidier.
• On a smaller phone, tell us if it still wraps onto two lines. It should wrap rather than cut the words off.

v6.33.05

• Files too large for cloud backup now show NOT BACKED UP on the entry. Tap it to see why, and how to keep a second copy.
• Nothing about which files are backed up has changed — only what you are told about them.

v6.33.04

• Videos now return to their first frame when they finish, on the apps, the web app and the shared viewer.
• In the shared viewer, a video no longer starts playing on its own when you open it.

v6.33.03

• Videos can be watched more than once. When a clip reaches its end it returns to the first frame, ready to play again.

v6.33.02

• A note added while your phone is offline is now kept, instead of being quietly replaced when the phone comes back online.
• Marked points, entry text and attachments are not protected this way yet.

v6.32.03

• No visible change in this update.

v6.32.02

• Completes the previous fix: fetching a backed-up photo, video or document onto another of your devices now works reliably (it previously depended on a screen having loaded at the right moment). Nothing new to do — open the attachment and it fetches; first open may take a few seconds.

v6.32.01

• Fixed: a photo, video or document added on one of your devices could say "This file is not on this device" on your other devices, forever — even though it was safely backed up. Opening one now fetches it from your backup automatically; the first open can take a few seconds longer, and that pause is the fix working. Videos over 25 MB still stay on the phone that recorded them, for now.

v6.31.87

• A fix for photo and video attachments after restoring onto a new phone. The app used to decide how a file was stored by consulting a note attached to the entry, which can travel between phones while the file itself does not — so an attachment could refuse to open, and could be quietly missing from an exported PDF. It now checks the file itself. Nothing about your existing attachments needed changing.

v6.31.86

• Still nothing to see in the app. The internal storage check shipped last build was reading the wrong list and reported nothing at all; this build points it at the right one. It still only reads, changes nothing and sends nothing.

v6.31.85

• Nothing changes in the app. This build adds an internal check that looks at how your photo and video attachments are stored, so we can confirm they will still open after restoring onto a new phone. It only reads; it changes nothing and sends nothing.

v6.31.84

• Nothing changes in the app itself this time — this one fixes a measuring tool we use to find the causes of slowness and laggy taps. It had been counting time you spent in other apps as time Sivolo was frozen, which sent us looking in the wrong places.

v6.31.83

• If you share a report through Trusted Circle, the secure link now opens about twice as fast for whoever you sent it to. The original message log is fetched only when they actually open the Source Log, rather than every time the page loads.
• Exported PDFs are unchanged and still carry the full chain of custody, whether or not the reader opened the source log first.

v6.31.82

• Sivolo no longer asks "which version should I keep?" for entries you never edited on two devices. That prompt was firing on identical copies of the same entry.
• If a genuine clash does come up while a backup is running in the background, Sivolo now waits and asks you, instead of quietly picking one. Dismissing the question no longer counts as an answer either.
• This update email is written for you now, rather than being generated from our internal engineering notes. It is also much shorter if you are several versions behind.
