Android 0.11.0 (versionCode 25). The desktop Flatpak is unchanged (0.2.0, attached to v0.10.0); this phone build still syncs with it.

Automatic backup

  • New Automatic backup row under Backup & restore. Choose a folder once; Stack saves a new backup there about once a week and keeps the newest five. The first backup runs right away.
  • The folder can be on any app that offers storage in Android's folder picker: Filen Drive (through the Filen Files app), Google Drive, a USB drive or a folder on the phone. Stack keeps no account or password.
  • After each save Stack checks that the file really arrived and has the right size. While a cloud app is still uploading it says Upload not confirmed yet; if the upload fails, Stack tries again.
  • Nothing else in the folder is touched: only files named Stack-auto-…stackbackup are ever removed.
  • Backup files are not encrypted by Stack (Filen encrypts what it stores). If you use app lock, scheduled backups wait until Stack is unlocked.
  • For Filen Drive, update Filen Files to 0.3.1 or later so uploads keep going while Stack runs in the background. If Filen Files has its own app lock turned on, it must be unlocked for backups to reach Filen.

Installing

  • Android: install Stack-0.11.0.apk as an update. It is signed with the same key as 0.9.0 and 0.10.0. A phone that still has a copy signed with the original key cannot be updated in place: back up the library first (Backup & restore), then uninstall, install and restore.
  • Desktop: no new version.
