A few small fixes to make your library feel right again. • Tap a cover and that's the book you get. Right after adding a new book, covers in Recently Added and on your shelves could open the book next to them until you restarted Kiveo. • Choosing shelves for a book you've just added no longer closes and reopens on its own. • Manage Books on a shelf scrolls and ticks smoothly again, even in big libraries. Picking a book for your Nightstand is quicker too. • On a book's page, the status tag now sits neatly under the In Library button when the book has no page count.

On iOS 27, scrolling back through your sessions could hop up a notch every so often, making older sessions hard to reach. Scrolling now goes where you send it, all the way back to your very first session.

A small release with two things that make everyday reading smoother. Sort a shelf your way Every shelf now sorts the same ways your Library does: latest activity, title, author, date added, or Your Order. Kiveo remembers your choice, and the Leaf Pile can be sorted too. Rearranging a shelf by hand is now called "Arrange Books", so it no longer looks like a second sort. Also fixed On iOS 27, scanning a page for a quote could freeze for a few seconds after you tapped the shutter. The page now comes up as soon as it's ready.

Quieter pages — and a few things that finally do what they always looked like they did. Plant your first intention on the way in Setting up Kiveo now pauses for a gentle word about Intentions: a goal that grows a little every time you read. Three offers, one tap to plant one — or "Not now", and nothing is written down. See what actually counted "What counts" now gives each book its own place, with its own cover, minutes and pages. An evening spent with two books shows up under both, honestly split. And a daily reading intention finally lists the days it's counting, so the vine and the evidence tell the same story. Daily reading starts the day you set it A daily intention now counts forward from the moment you plant it, so every leaf is one that grew under it. Sorting in Sessions actually sorts Ask for your longest sit-downs or your biggest page days and the list reorders, top to bottom. Sort by date and the familiar Today and Yesterday headings come back. Search reads accents the way you type them "cancion" finds Canción de Navidad, "marquez" finds García Márquez — across your library, your quotes and your sessions. Room to breathe on iPad Nightstand and Intentions sit side by side instead of stretching across the window. Warmer colors, calmer pages Book statuses have Kiveo's own colors now, night versions included. Progress bars draw the road ahead the way the vine does. Quote cards line up, and they open when you tap them. And "Along the Way" reads like a path, each session marked by when you read — sunrise, midday, sunset, moon. Also fixed Kiveo no longer closes when a book or session is removed on another device while you're looking at it. Links and Home Screen shortcuts now wait until you've finished setting up, then take you where you were going.

We're calling this one Woodbine. Three additions, all quiet. Quote Scanner Point your camera at a printed page and Kiveo lifts the words for you. No typing, no losing your place. The line stays with the book it came from. Intentions A gentle reading intention, if you want one. Private, optional, and you can set it down at any time - there is no record of having stopped. Re-reads Some books deserve a second visit. Kiveo now keeps every reading of a book, not just the most recent one, so returning to an old favorite doesn't overwrite the first time. Plus a handful of smaller repairs. Thank you for reading with Kiveo.

A small, quiet update. We fixed an issue where your reading sessions could stop appearing on a book's page after its details were refreshed. Nothing was ever lost — your sessions stayed safely recorded the whole time; they just weren't showing where they should. They're back where they belong now. Thank you for reading with us.

• Quick actions — press and hold the Kiveo icon to start a reading session, scan a book, or capture a quote in one tap. • Tap your "Books Read" count on Home to look back on everything you've finished. • Smoother cover swapping — clearer "Current" and "Original" covers, reliable reset, and lighter custom covers that sync faster. • Plus a warmer reflection prompt, more behind-the-scenes work to keep your library in sync across your devices, and a handful of fixes. Thank you for reading with Kiveo.

This update adds a behind-the-scenes Sync Diagnostics tool to help us find and fix the occasional iCloud sync hiccup — so your library stays in sync across all your devices. Thank you for reading with Kiveo.

Book search now finds results in your language when set to Automatic. Also fixed a layout issue in search picks.

A quieter Live Activity. The Lock Screen widget got a careful rework — covers now bleed into a backdrop tinted from their own colors, the timer wears a serif, and the Dynamic Island matches the mood. Recovered sessions land cleanly with the right elapsed time, too. Reminders that wait their turn. The inactivity nudge now actually fires when you've gone quiet, even if you also have a daily reminder set. Previously the daily silently took over and the nudge never showed. A few smaller bits of polish: • The session card on the Sessions screen has a friendlier layout. • Discarding a recovered session draft now actually discards it. Thanks for reading with Kiveo.

Fresh picks refresh more often, and clearing your cache now tidies up everything.

A few quiet repairs for version 1.2: • Search now finds books by author or alias, not just title • Tapping a locked app icon opens the tip jar • Paused sessions stay paused when you return to the app

We're calling this one Primrose. It's our biggest update yet — new ways to keep your reading life honest and unhurried. Nightstand Your next reads, always within reach. Queue up to seven books on your Nightstand — a short, intentional list of what you're reaching for next. Set it down without guilt Mark any book as Paused or Did Not Finish. Not every book needs to be completed, and your library should reflect that honestly. Gentle reminders Set a daily reading reminder — once a day at most, on your schedule. Pause it whenever you need to. No streaks, no guilt. Search, redesigned A refreshed search screen with seasonal picks from our garden and series continuation, so you can find what's next without scrolling endlessly. Swap editions Switch a book to a different edition and keep all your sessions, reflections, and progress intact. Swap cover image Choose the cover that feels right.
