Changelog

What’s new

Version 1.2.3 Sep 15, 2026

fix Cleaner analytics — the "locked feature seen" event no longer fires automatically on every open. It now fires only when you actually attempt a Pro-only action.

Version 1.2.2 Sep 6, 2026

feat Pro users now have a "Manage" button in the header to open the subscription portal (cancel, update payment, view billing).
feat If a Pro subscription lapses, pages beyond the free tier limit (3) remain visible but locked — click one to see how to restore access. Your data is never deleted.
refactor Clarified "Restore purchase" wording — now reads "Restore purchase or manage" to signal that returning customers can also update their plan.

Version 1.2.1 Sep 5, 2026

feat Refined the Pro upgrade view — pages & rename are now shown first, matching what heavy users ask for most.
feat Korean store description updated with the new Pro-tier details.
