What’s new

Version 1.0.3 · Updated October 14, 2026

Whats new Execution Log & AI-assisted debugging - New step-by-step execution log: record every executed instruction (registers, disassembled code, memory writes) and export it as plain text with a full memory dump — ideal for debugging or pasting into an AI assistant. - Program Analysis: imported programs are automatically checked for common mistakes, such as instruction bytes landing on reserved addresses or invalid jump targets. - Import from clipboard: paste a program (JSON text) directly from the clipboard, or import it from a .kenbak file — or open .kenbak files right from the Files app. - AI prompt: copy a ready-made prompt describing the Kenbak‑1 architecture, instruction set, and file format to generate your own programs in any AI assistant. - New settings: record execution log, haptic feedback, keep screen on while running, and a "Reset to defaults" option.
