Pocket Sense v2.2.8

🔒 Fixes

• Fixed: on some phones, reopening Pocket Sense after closing it could lose the encryption key, and the app said it couldn't open your data. Reported on a RedMagic 8S Pro (Android 13). The most likely cause: by default, the secure-storage library deletes everything it holds when Android's Keystore gives it an error at startup. That's now turned off: if the Keystore misbehaves, you get an error with Try again, and nothing is deleted. Data already lost this way can't be recovered, so keep automatic backups on (Settings → Backup).
• With a PIN set, the app now stays locked if the Keystore can't be read. Before, an error there opened the app without asking for the PIN.
• On Android, the error now names Android's keystore instead of the Linux keyring.

Download

Android

• Also on F-Droid, which keeps it updated. It ships these same signed APKs, so you can switch between the two and keep your data.
• PocketSense-v2.2.8-arm64-v8a.apk: almost all modern Android phones. Use this one if unsure.
• PocketSense-v2.2.8-armeabi-v7a.apk: older 32-bit phones
• PocketSense-v2.2.8-x86_64.apk: emulators and Chromebooks

Installs as an update over any earlier version and keeps your data.

Linux (x86_64): pick one.

• Debian, Ubuntu, Mint: PocketSense-v2.2.8-linux-x64.deb

  sudo apt install ./PocketSense-v2.2.8-linux-x64.deb

• Fedora, openSUSE: PocketSense-v2.2.8-linux-x64.rpm

  sudo dnf install ./PocketSense-v2.2.8-linux-x64.rpm   # or: sudo zypper install

• Any distro: PocketSense-v2.2.8-linux-x64.AppImage. Make it executable and run it.
• Any distro: PocketSense-v2.2.8-linux-x64.tar.gz. Unpack it and run ./PocketSense/pocket_sense.

All need glibc 2.35 or newer and a running keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet). With the AppImage or the tarball you also need GTK 3, and parecord for voice entry (pulseaudio-utils on Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora, libpulse on Arch).
