Fixes a sign-in issue where the app accepted your login but did not keep you signed in.

• Privacy & security: Added an automatic privacy screen in the app switcher and enhanced passcode protection. • More private notifications: Lock-screen reminders no longer display individual document titles. • French & English refinements: Improved translations across Personal Messages, Settings and the More tab. • Estate readiness: More consistent readiness scoring and improved detection for wills and powers of attorney.

The app now opens in French on phones set to French, from the very first screen. The App Store page lists French, and the permission requests for Face ID, camera, photos and microphone appear in French too.

This update fixes the upgrade screen, which failed to open in version 1.4. Everstead+ can be started from inside the app again. Also in this version: • Personal messages can now be edited or deleted after they are written, including the date they are released. • Add another email address to your account, such as a work address, so anything sent to it reaches your vault. • Export a complete copy of your vault from Settings, sent to you by email. • New passwords now follow the same rule everywhere, so one that would be refused is explained before you submit it. Thank you for the reports. If anything else is not right, write to support@everstead.care.

A fresh look for Everstead: the illustrated family from our website now welcomes you in, a short film tells the story in thirty seconds, and the Family screen carries your family name. Nothing else changed, and everything you have stored stays exactly where it was.

Free plans now include up to 5 accounts, 5 documents and 3 trusted people. Everstead is now fully available in French. Invite friends and family from Settings, plus a fix for readiness scores that were showing as zero.

Sign in with Apple and Google are here — plus small improvements under the hood.
