Your desk, now beyond the app. • Desk widget — your capsule and the last lines you typed, by day and by lamplight. Three sizes. Hold the Home Screen → Edit → Add Widget → Platen. • Pin to Lock Screen — keep one letter on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island; tap it to come straight back to your page. In a letter: Make it yours → Pin to Lock Screen. Want privacy? Turn on Cross out on Lock Screen. • Little blooms — type an exclamation mark and a few flowers open in the margin (with the garden on). • Share a picture of your page with your capsule on its rail, now also as an Instagram Story. • Korean now types in a classic serif that suits the typewriter. • With a hardware keyboard, the on-screen keyboard steps aside and the machine settles low. • At night, the lamp now stays with the capsule when you turn your phone. • Follow Platen on X (Xiaohongshu in mainland China) from Settings. Thank you for every note you send — keep them coming through Send feedback. If Platen keeps you company, a rating means the world.

Thank you for the warm welcome and all your notes. Here is what's new: • Type size — Small, Regular, Large or Larger. Make it yours → Writing & garden. Tip: with a larger type, switch Page margins to Narrow so more words fit on each line. • Page margins — Wide (the original) or Narrow, for longer lines. • Chinese and Japanese — your characters are now set in a classic serif, with the same inked edges as the Latin letters. • Chinese, Japanese and Korean in the app itself — Settings, Home and the introduction now show every character completely, in the same classic style. Thank you to everyone who wrote in about this. • Language — choose Platen's language in Studio → Language. • Print-ready sheets (Platen Studio) — Keepsake export can now make A4, US Letter and A5 pages laid out like a real typed letter, and print them. Writing settings → Keepsake export → Page size. • Export shortcut — an optional share mark beside the counter: Writing & garden → Export button on the page. • Photo stamps — the Place stamp button stays within reach, and your photo stays in view while you adjust it. • Softer haptics and a quieter bell — Sound & touch, with Soft/Medium/Strong and a Soft/Normal bell. • A warmer night lamp, and your chosen capsule from the very first moment. Have an idea or found something odd? Studio → Send feedback goes straight to me. And if Platen has found a place on your desk, a rating in the App Store helps others discover it. Thank you.

Page margins: choose Narrow in Writing & garden for longer lines. A warmer night lamp with a softer edge. Your chosen capsule appears from the first moment the app opens. Send feedback and rate Platen from Studio.

A richer paper garden: ivy, trailing vines, violets and daisies that stand up off the page as it curls. Smoother scrolling on Home, and typing that feels more like a real machine.

A smoother welcome: clearer Next buttons, a tap to try the lamp, and simple Keep or Erase choices. Discover new capsule materials, photo stamps, flower bookmarks, writing prompts and paper keepsake exports. Settings are easier to explore, with smoother night controls and other fixes.
