Changelog

2026

2026.2

A corrective release behind 2026.1: what Premium shows you before its price, a restore that tells the truth, and a delete button the filter was missing.

• What Premium does, before what it costs: Hitting a Premium feature no longer drops you straight onto the plans. It opens the table of what Premium gives you, with the row you were stopped on marked, and the prices sit one tap behind it.

• Padlok Santa: The free lifetime unlock Indie App Santa gave away in 2022 now has a name and a column of its own in that table, with the date it was redeemed. What the gift covers is on screen instead of being promised and then refused.

• Restore says what it found: Restore used to report success whenever you already held something, including when it brought nothing back. It now tells the three apart: something restored, already active, or nothing to restore.

• A tag can be deleted where you filter by it: Long-press a tag badge in the filter and Delete is there beside Rename. The addresses stay and lose only that tag.

Also in this version:

• Renaming a tag or a place no longer switches off the Pinned, Suggested and Notification filters
• Add address is a prominent glass button, tinted with the accent — the one control on the card that starts something now reads like it

2026.1

Padlok’s biggest release yet: your addresses group themselves into places, arrival notifications keep hours, and QR codes work with no signal at all.

• Places: Addresses group themselves by town, and the filter can narrow to one of them. The map opens on the area you’re standing in instead of framing the whole country. A long press renames any place or tag.

• A filter you can read: The filter is a panel now: how many addresses come through it up top, every tag, place and pin as a badge below. Tap a badge to include it, tap again to exclude it — no more hidden swipes.

• Notifications that know when and where (premium): An address can carry its own hours and its own area: no buzzing from the office at the weekend, and a circle you can drag and size to the building rather than the street.

• QR codes without a server: A Padlok code now carries the address itself instead of a link to it — so it works with no signal on either end, for every address, and leaves nothing behind on a server. Scanning uses the whole camera, focuses up close, and tells you when a code isn’t ours.

• Built for iOS 26: A new Liquid Glass app icon, a drawer that behaves like a system sheet, and every way to add an address gathered onto one glass button.

Also in this version:

• Padlok speaks 26 languages, notifications included
• Addresses are free to create, however many — the three nearest stay open
• Favorites are pins now, marked only where the pin is what moved the row
• Twelve new pictograms — a parking garage, a shop, a package, a charging point
• Distances read in whole units, and finally respect the setting
• Pick your maps app from a menu instead of an alert
• An arrival stays in Notification Center, and can hide its codes four hours later
• The in-app biometric lock is gone: iOS locks Padlok behind Face ID itself, and does it better
• And a long sweep underneath — iCloud sync, widgets and the Watch app refreshing on their own, the map no longer stacking a second set of pins, notifications carrying the floor, code labels and intercom number again, Shortcuts, sharing and Premium
