release notes

A record of new features, improvements, and small fixes.

2.6.6

See who shared each story

  • Changed: The author now appears just below the large date in collection details, before the story text.
  • Changed: You can add a record directly from the Today card, so we removed the separate + button at the top of Home.
  • Changed: The quick-entry widget now has three clear actions: Photo record, New record, and My records.
  • Improved: Marchives without photos now show the Marchive logo instead of an empty icon.
  • Retired: Chat is no longer available as we focus on making and revisiting memories together. You can still talk in collection comments.
  • Fixed: The Marchive photo at the top of collection details did not fill its circular frame correctly.
2.6.5

Capture today and share it with a link

  • Added: The Today card shows a large date and all seven days of the week. Once you capture today, a memory from this day in a previous year appears in its place.
  • Added: If you have a record from this exact date in an earlier year, it can appear before you add today's record.
  • Added: Share a collection with someone who doesn't have the app. Choose the photos and text to show, set an expiry date, or turn the link off at any time.
  • Added: You can like collections, and the number of likes appears in the Marchive collection list.
  • Added: Photos on the map now show where and when they were taken, and how many years ago. Open an existing collection or make a new record from an unrecorded photo.
  • Added: Newcomers can start their first record with a Marchive name and one photo.
  • Added: Preview a Marchive before accepting an invitation. You can also paste a copied invitation link or code to join.
  • Changed: Collection details now put photos edge to edge, with text and comments layered over them. Sharing has moved to the upper-right menu.
  • Changed: Home now separates shared Marchives from personal Marchives.
  • Changed: The word 'marchive' appears one letter at a time beneath the logo on launch. A rotating logo replaces the loading bar.
  • Changed: Notifications now use your chosen app language instead of your device language.
  • Improved: A loading message appears while selected photos open, both when creating and editing collections.
  • Improved: Dismiss the keyboard while writing a comment by swiping down or tapping the photo.
  • Fixed: The photo widget could get stuck showing an empty state.
  • Fixed: Empty-state text was missing from Marchive, collection, and photo sections of the profile.
  • Fixed: The invitation code field could be hidden behind the bottom menu.
2.6.4

Find your records with a fresh look

  • Added: Search collections, Marchives, photos, and videos together with one keyword.
  • Changed: Search has replaced Chat in the bottom navigation.
  • Added: A new Marchive logo and app icon inspired by connected memories.
  • Improved: The photo widget changes photos every three hours and prioritizes the first photo of a new collection. It also includes photos added by others to shared Marchives.
  • Improved: Collections in Marchive details are grouped by month and shown as layered photo cards.
  • Improved: Home cards now use recent photos, cover photos, and random photos.
  • Improved: The app opens faster, and collection comments load sooner.
  • Fixed: Hidden Marchives could appear on Home and in the photo widget.
  • Fixed: Collections could disappear from the list after a refresh, or the list could occasionally show an error.
