🚀 Android Beta Testers Wanted 🚀
We're running a closed beta (alpha track on the Google Play Store) for the Android app and are looking for testers! If you'd like early access to help test (and suggest) Android features before they go live, join my Google Group here: https://groups.google.com/g/lifeglance
New
- Pinch to zoom the timeline on touch devices. Two fingers spread to zoom in, pinch to zoom out, anchored to where your fingers are.
- Hidden milestones list. Milestones you set to "Hidden" no longer disappear for good. A new list lets you find them and open one to show it again. Search results now open a milestone's details directly too.
- Edit a whole recurring series at once. When editing an annual milestone, "apply to all yearly instances" updates the title, category, note, link, and visibility across every year.
- Repeat more than the title on annual milestones. When you set a milestone to repeat yearly, you can now choose which details carry to every year: note, link, photo, and audio/video.
- Chapter categories. Give chapters a category and show or hide them by category, the same way milestones already work.
Improved
- Synced photos, audio, and video now play on the devices they synced to, loading from the local copy first for instant playback.
- Large media downloads in the background so opening a big video no longer stalls the view.
- Video shows its poster frame instead of a blank play button, including while it is still downloading.
- Cards now show a camera icon when they have a photo, and synced-in photos appear in watch mode and in backups.
- One tap to back-fill existing local photos and media to your encrypted vault so they are available on your other devices.
- Refined Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations, including translated sync error messages and clearer wording throughout.
- Self-hosted WebDAV backups: the connection Test now resolves the server path the same way sync does, so a working sync setup tests cleanly.
Fixed
- Fixed video uploads that could hang while generating a poster frame. The poster is now best effort and never blocks the upload.
- Fixed videos not displaying after syncing to another device.
- Fixed a rare blank screen caused by an unusual system language setting.
