what shipped

Changelog, annotated.

Every tagged release, newest on top. Desktop builds auto-update through the R2 manifest; mobile updates ship through the App Store and Play Store. No patch notes, just what we actually changed.

android v0.1.3 2026-04-26 mobile

Android lands on Google Play.

  • ByHuman for Android is live on the Play Store — Android 7.0+, free, no tracking.
  • Same one-tap badge as desktop and iOS, plus a Quick Settings tile so you can flip it on from the notification shade.
  • Both mobile stores now stocked: App Store + Play Store.
v0.1.6 2026-04-19

Typography + UX polish.

  • Desktop app now uses JetBrains Mono + Instrument Serif italic, matching the tech-view landing page.
  • First-time OS tips (Accessibility on macOS, shortcut collision on Windows) collapse into a + header.
  • Contact mailto in the desktop popover now opens the user's mail client via tauri-plugin-shell (was silently failing on Windows).
  • Check Now and theme pill in the popover use a new --on-accent token so text contrast stays correct when the theme flips.
v0.1.5 2026-04-19

Gear-icon settings menu.

  • Replaced the sun/moon toggle with a gear button. Clicking it opens a popover with About (version + contact), Update (in-app check-for-updates), and Theme (Light/Dark) sections.
  • Unified contact email to [email protected] across every surface — landing pages, desktop app, iOS, Android.
v0.1.4 2026-04-19

Native Windows hotkey.

  • Windows: replaced Tauri's global-shortcut plugin (open upstream bug plugins-workspace #2646 — shortcuts silently never fire) with a direct RegisterHotKey + WM_HOTKEY worker thread. Ctrl+Alt+H and Ctrl+Shift+B now fire reliably.
  • macOS and Linux unchanged — still use the Tauri plugin.
v0.1.3 2026-04-19 plumbing

Releases on Cloudflare R2.

  • Binaries, signatures, and the updater manifest now live on a public R2 bucket. Private GitHub repos don't serve anonymous release downloads, so the old updater endpoint 404'd.
  • CI uploads every artifact to R2 after each tagged build and still archives a copy to the GitHub Release.
v0.1.2 2026-04-19

Light & dark themes.

  • Sun/moon toggle in the desktop app. Honors OS preference on first launch, persists afterward.
  • Light palette: warm cream base with navy ink. Dark palette: midnight blue with amber accents.
v0.1.1 2026-04-19

Shortcut fallback + platform tips.

  • Ctrl+Shift+B registered as a fallback alongside Ctrl+Alt+H.
  • "First time on macOS" accessibility help now only shows on macOS. Windows gets a different hint about shortcut collisions.
v0.1.0 2026-04-18

First public release.

  • Mac + Windows desktop apps. macOS is signed with Developer ID and notarised. Windows is unsigned for v0.1.
  • Global shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H (Cmd+Alt+H on mac) — writes the badge to the clipboard and simulates paste in the frontmost text field.
  • Tray icon with menu: Open, Paste badge into frontmost app, Quit.
  • Auto-updater wired. Badge persists across launches in an app-config file.
