v1.6.0 - Quiet Updates, Clearer Pro

New Features

Background Software Updates

• Download updates while you work — keep converting, compressing, and processing files while a new version downloads in the background
  • Watch live download progress in a compact header notice
  • Relaunch when the update is ready, or let it install the next time you quit
• Choose how update alerts appear — use a subtle header notice, open the full update window automatically, or keep update alerts silent
• Set your own update routine — control automatic downloads, install-on-quit behavior, and how often 1FileTool checks for a new version

Flexible Pro Options

• Choose a license for 1, 3, or 5 devices — compare one-time options in the app and open the matching checkout directly
• Open Pro details from anywhere — a new header shortcut and clearer AI preview prompts show exactly what Pro unlocks
• See bundle and loyalty savings — explore the complete StoicSoft app bundle or check your next-app discount when you already own Pro

Improvements

• Clearer Free vs Pro comparison — see the Free plan's 8-file daily allowance alongside unlimited processing, full-length on-device AI, live Smart Folder automation, workflow recipes, and included updates
• Simpler update renewals — keep using your current Pro version forever after its included update period ends, and renew only when you want future features and updates
• One place for license details — review your plan, registered email, active devices, update eligibility, activation options, and renewal choices together

Bug Fixes

• Fixed background update downloads stopping after a connection change — downloads now retry automatically and keep their status visible
• Fixed opening the update window restarting an in-progress download — the current download now continues in the background with its progress intact
• Fixed Restart & Install reopening the previous version on macOS — the app now closes cleanly so the downloaded update can finish installing
