Improved file protection and recovery guidance, refreshed settings behavior, and added Japanese and Korean language support.

✨️

Languages

  • Added Japanese and Korean throughout the app, with language switching available in Settings.
🐛

Protection & Settings

  • Corrected the recovery description so it shows how many fragments are required out of the total generated.
  • Kept protection choices to the supported presets and made the selected default update immediately when returning to Settings.
  • Improved fragment estimates on smaller screens so text stays within its card.
  • Fixed a navigation error that could appear when leaving Protect or Split.
⚡️

Platform Compatibility

  • Updated the minimum supported versions to iOS 15 and macOS 15.
  • Improved macOS release build reliability.

v1.1.1

Added faster and more convenient app unlocking, improved Android navigation and responsiveness, and introduced built-in update checking for standalone releases.

✨️

Security & Updates

  • Added biometric unlocking on supported Android and iOS devices, with PIN available as a fallback.
  • Added a 10-minute unlock grace period so returning from a file picker or briefly switching apps no longer requires repeated PIN entry.
  • Added manual update checking for the standalone Android APK and macOS DMG editions.
⚡️

Android Experience

  • Improved Android back navigation so system gestures return to the previous screen as expected.
  • Improved transitions when returning from the system file picker.
  • Reduced the white screen shown briefly when opening or returning to the app.
🐛

Recovery & Reliability

  • Fixed an Android issue where the Recovery Phrase option could sometimes fail to respond.
  • Improved navigation and state handling across Protect, Split, and Recover workflows.
  • Improved release stability and consistency across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.

v1.0.9

Improved large-file recovery on mobile, with better memory handling, safer recovery limits, and clearer guidance when a backup cannot be recovered on the current device.

⚡️

Recovery & Stability

  • Improved memory efficiency when scanning and recovering large backups on mobile devices.
  • Added automatic size checks before recovery. Larger backups now show a warning, while files beyond the mobile safety limit are directed to the Windows or macOS version.
  • Simplified Recovery Phrase handling. YourKeep now uses the Recovery Phrase stored on the current device and clearly identifies backups that were protected with a different phrase.
  • Improved recovery messages and removed unnecessary or duplicate actions.

v1.0.8

Added six new languages and improved YourKeep across small screens, large accessibility text sizes, and different distribution editions.

✨️

Languages & Accessibility

  • Added Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese.
  • Added a dedicated language setting with instant switching.
  • Improved layouts for small screens and large system text sizes to prevent clipped or overflowing content.
  • Added Edition information in Settings so you can easily identify where your copy of YourKeep was distributed.
  • Made Split and Protect more consistent when selecting, saving, and exporting files.

v1.0.7

Introduced Split, automatic backup detection in Recover, and a simpler Recovery Phrase setup.

✨️

Split & Recover

  • Added Split, a free way to divide a file into redundant pieces without encryption or a Recovery Phrase. Even if some pieces are lost, the original file can still be recovered.
  • Recover can now automatically recognize encrypted Protect backups and unencrypted Split backups and use the appropriate recovery process.
  • Recovery Phrase setup is now only required when needed, so YourKeep can be opened and used without completing setup first.
  • Redesigned the Home screen around the three core actions: Protect, Split, and Recover.
  • Improved dark mode, recovery progress, and file previews.
🐛

Fixes

  • Improved encrypted backup recovery on new or reset devices.
  • Improved compatibility with file and folder paths containing special characters.

v1.0.5

Improved license information, recovery performance, and overall stability.

⚡️

Improvements

  • Simplified Pro status and license information in Settings and on the Home screen.

  • Fixed several minor issues and improved overall stability.

v1.0.0

  • Recover the original file even when some pieces are unavailable.
  • YourKeep backups do not depend on a YourKeep account, cloud service, or recovery server.
