v2.0.0: lastGLANCE arrives on Google Play 🤖

lastGLANCE is now live on Google Play!

Changed

  • Automation intents (Tasker) are now opt-in. The Android intents transport is off by default for safety. If you use Tasker or similar apps to drive lastGLANCE, enable it once under dayGLANCE Integration settings > Automation intents. Widgets, Quick Settings tiles, shortcuts, notifications, and the GLANCE WebDAV/vault integrations are unaffected.
  • Your credentials and data are no longer included in Google cloud backups. Sync passwords, encryption keys, and chore data stay out of cloud backups entirely. Direct device-to-device transfer to a new phone still works, and cloud sync or the in-app export remain the recovery paths.
  • The app font is now bundled. The UI no longer loads Inter from the Google Fonts CDN, so it renders instantly and fully offline with no third-party requests.

Fixed

  • The repeating "sync hit a conflict" error is gone. (#232) Some WebDAV servers (commonly Nextcloud behind Apache with compression enabled) alter the version tag the app uses to detect simultaneous edits, so every sync attempt failed with the same conflict until the sync file was deleted by hand. The app now requests uncompressed responses, cleans up altered tags, and if a server still misbehaves, sync completes safely instead of getting stuck.
  • Restore remote backup now works on Android. (#233) Browsing your backups folder relies on a WebDAV command that Android's built-in HTTP stack refuses to send, so it always failed with an error. The app now ships its own HTTP client for those commands, which also fixes sync folder creation and connection tests against fresh servers.
  • Export Backup now works on Android. (#233) The button previously did nothing. It now saves your backup and opens the share sheet so you can send it to Files, Drive, or any other app. The automatic safety snapshot taken before a restore is saved reliably now too.
  • Restore remote backup is now available for Nextcloud and Koofr. The button previously only appeared for the generic WebDAV provider, and Koofr remote backups now target the correct folder.
  • Turning off WebDAV sync now sticks. Previously the toggle could spring back on and saved credentials could be lost if a connection field was blank when saving.

Under the hood

  • Updated the shared GLANCE sync engine to 1.6.1.

GitHub Builds

  • Always free for the community. Just like dayGLANCE, my GitHub builds will remain free. For now that just means the Android APK and the web app/self-hostable Docker builds (in the future the desktop app will be included as well). The Play Store version is the easiest way to install the app on your Android devices, stay updated, and support lastGLANCE's ongoing development. Thank you for your support!
