What’s new

Version 1.4.5 · Updated September 26, 2026

Search your library. You can now search the Books, Tags and Authors lists. Roman numerals and cover pages. Pages can be numbered in roman numerals, or marked as the front or back cover. Faster auto-capture. Hold the camera still for just 0.75 seconds, and the progress ring fills exactly as the photo is taken. Backups in Finder. Database backups now appear in Finder when your iPhone is connected to a Mac. Now in Portuguese, for both Brazil and Portugal. Faster and lighter Page editing is faster. Images are processed more efficiently and saved in the background, and returning to a page no longer runs text recognition again. Manual cropping uses much less battery, and the camera stops using motion sensors once you leave it.
