- Fixed the Add Account bug that kept ghosting you faster than a glass door you didn’t see coming. Now, your Add Account sheet stays put until you dismiss it. - Made parts of the app sparkle with iOS 26’s shiny new glass design. Look closely, the smudges are not on the glass elements, they are on your screen. - Cleared out some dusty code. - Updated the feedback email to a new one specific to NextHub so I can keep better track of requests and bug report: nexthub@vishalvshekkar.com.

Added support for dark and tinted App Icons. Shipped with some under-the-hood optimizations.

Now: Quickly jump to Configuration Management and Logs from the main view! Many of you have tipped and have shown your appreciation through reviews, ratings, and emails liberally! A big thanks to all of you for being so kind. What’s New — You may now quickly jump in to manage your configurations or logs from the main view! — You also get a shortcut to jump to Logs with a `Blocked` filter pre-applied. Useful when you want to find that domain that's causing page load issues! — If you don't like these shortcuts or find them cluttering your main view, head over to Settings/Customize Experience to toggle these off. What’s Improved — Minor interfaces changes that make the fonts and elements more consistent across the app. — Some under-the-hood changes that set the stage for upcoming features. As always, feel free to reach out to me with any feedback or requests. Cheers :)

This is a quick release with a powerful new feature—Ever been in a situation where you forget a few months later as to why you added a specific obscure domain to your allowlist? Fret not; do your future self a favor and add a note when you deny or allow a domain. I couldn’t wait longer to coalesce this with another larger release, so here you go. Many of you have tipped and have shown your appreciation through reviews, ratings, and emails liberally! A big thanks to all of you for being so kind. What’s New - Add a note/reason along with every Allowlist or Denylist domain entry. If you are like me and tend to granularly manage your allow and deny lists, it's easy to forget why you added a certain obscure domain on there. With the new Note feature, you can leave your future self some context. Add an entry to your allow/deny list as usual (from the Management views or from logs/analytics views), you will find a new text entry for adding a note. Thanks, VC—for the feature suggestion. - Notes added for deny or allow lists entries are only stored on-device. NextDNS doesn't support adding reasons/notes. Until they do, your notes will not be synced across your devices. I may add iCloud support for syncing across devices in the future. - Data Export: A new section under Settings has been aded so you may export your notes as a CSV file for posterity. What’s Improved - Updated the interface of allow and deny list entries to show inactive state more clearly. Thanks, MGi—for the suggestion. - Added a new menu for allow/deny list entries to take further actions—delete entry or update note. Accidental deletion of an entry when trying to deactivate it is a thing of the past. As always, reach out to me with comments/feedback/requests/criticisms at vishalvshekkar@gmail.com Cheers :)

This is a relatively major release with a lot of interface improvements and new features like Ping Log. Many of you have tipped and showed your appreciation so far! A big thanks to all of you for being so kind. What’s New - Ping Logs! Did you ever want to keep a track of the ping you're facing with respect to NextDNS servers over time? Now, NextHub will log your ping and server connection history. Just launching NextHub would log this for you. Any data refreshes would also add a log. Essentially, a log is added when the status card updates. You may switch off logging in Settings. As always, these logs are only stored on your device. - The Ping Logs have their own analysis view. On top of being able to view each log in granularity, you will get a nifty chart to study variation of ping over time (Only iOS 16+), and some stats like min, max, average, median, etc. - A whole new charts system added for iOS 16+. - New charts to see your default, allowed, and blocked queries in Analytics view. - GAFAM dominance data added to analytics. - Analyze GAFAM dominance with bar charts. (iOS 16+) - Analyze queries made per device on a line chart (iOS 16+). Only top 3 devices would be plotted to avoid clutter. Please leave feedback if you want to analyze this differently. - Added more Management options for configurations. You can now adjust your log retention settings, performance, and Other Settings. What’s Improved - New Status view that holds a consistent height even during state changes and data loads. The compact view is enabled by default. Switch back in Settings > Customize Experience. - New filters section in query logs view. You will see, in detail, each applied filter and sort option in the filter summary view for better context. - Added a new loading state in various places across the app where remote data loads happen often for a smoother experience. - Wherever the interface looks consistent before and after remote data loads, the loading state will already show the post-load UI with loading indicators and placeholders for a less-jarring experience overall. - Modified the design of some buttons to be consistent with the rest of the app. - The configuration management options that aren't yet supported on NextHub may now be opened in NextDNS's web page with a single click. - A new section in Settings now showcases other apps of mine. - Added a new temporary banner on main view when NextHub is updated so you may discover new features. What’s Fixed - Fixed: In queries log filter detail view, if a sort option was applied previously and you returned to the view, it wouldn't show the correct sort option even though, the sort option has been applied. Please write to me with feedback/comments/appreciation/criticism at vishalvshekkar@gmail.com Cheers :)

This is a quick update to the last release, with major improvements to filtering of analytics and logs. I hope this release brings parity with and even goes beyond the NextDNS web app with respect to analyzing your DNS usage. What’s New - Filter your analytics views per device/client. This was a heavily requested feature that's now out :) - Filter logs by device. You may now apply a device/client filter to the logs to study what each of your devices are accessing on the Interwebs. - Major changes to the logs interface. Get even more information than before at one glance. - All applied filters are shown at the top of the logs for context. - You may now choose between ascending or descending sorts. - Added support for managing Native Tracking Protection under 'Manage Configuration > Privacy'. - View and manage your Denylist. - View and manage your Allowlist. - Add to deny/allow lists from anywhere else in the app—analytics, logs, etc. Just long-press or right-click on a domain to see the options. - Filter logs with any domain/subdomain from the analytics view. Just long-press or right-click on a domain to see the option. - Filter logs with any device from the analytics or all devices view. Just long-press or right-click on a domain to see the option. - Apply device filter directly from any log entry. You may use this along with host name filtering—an AND condition filtering would apply in that case. Just long-press or right-click on any log entry to see the option. - Quickly apply date/timestamp filters for both oldest and newest boundaries from any log using that log entry's timestamp. This may be used to filter down quickly to before or after a log entry. - Add a new toggle under 'Settings > Customize Experience' to let you choose if you want to show your Device IDs along with their names. This is helpful if multiple devices are named similarly on NextDNS. For instance, if you have multiple iPhones all named 'iPhone’. What’s Improved - Added a new, concise status view card design. The older, expanded form, while informative, moved around quite a bit as the status loaded. The new one is designed to take less space and stay about the same height in all states, making your interactions a bit more predictable. You may toggle this in 'Settings > Customize Experience'. - Updated the interface of an individual log view to improve readability, and grouped items that are more relevant together than earlier. - Improved analytics interface for clarity. - Improved copy across the app for concision. - Using the more appropriate 'Host' and 'Host Name' instead of 'URL' when describing domains or subdomains across the app. - Device are shown with more clarity. You may also copy your device IDs now. Just long-press/right-click on your device to see options. - Limited the number of countries that load under 'Traffic Destinations' to 15 to prevent the view to grow too much for users who access the vast corners of the interwebs. Don't fret—a new view to load all pages of each analytics category is coming soon. - Slight improvements to Live Streaming interface. - Accounts List view gets a more subtle footer indicating how to delete an account. As always, feel free to reach out to me with any feedback or requests. Cheers :)

This is a massive release! A big thanks to all the folks who gave their feedback on Reddit and Email! A lot of your requests have been incorporated in this release, many more coming in future releases. What’s New - Manage your NextDNS Configurations right on NextHub! You may now view and change various settings of your configuration. Just tap on the configuration card that you want to manage and find the option 'Manage Configuration' at the top of the view. - Added the ability to view, update, and manage all Security related attributes for your NextDNS configuration. Supports all toggles and management of Top-Level Domain blocking. - Added the ability to view, update, and manage all Privacy related attributes for your NextDNS configuration. Supports all toggles and management of Blocklists and Native Tracking Protection. - All changes made under 'Manage Configuration' are immediately saved and updated with NextDNS. - Authenticated App Access: You may now lock your NextHub with a passphrase and Face ID/Touch ID to prevent unauthorized access. - Added an All Devices view. Here, you may list all devices connected to your configuration across all-of-time. Of course, this is limited by your log storage settings on NextDNS. - Added a button that takes you to your NextDNS Account page when adding a new account to make it easy to copy your API Key. - Added a button in settings that would take you to the NextHub Progress/Issue Tracker. You may track feature requests and have a view into what may come on NextHub in the future. You may also send in a request to the developer from this site. - A subtle indicator would let you know when NextHub has been updated and some new features are available. The indicator would stay on until you view the 'What's New?' section under Settings. - Added WHOIS lookup for domains in analysis and logs views (Using domaintools.com). Just long press or right click to see the option. - Added address block lookup for IP addresses in analysis view (Using mxtoolbox.com). Just long press or right click to see the option. - Filter logs from a log: Find all instances of a log's domain quickly. Just long press or right-click on a log item. Works in both static and streaming modes. What’s Improved - Faster Data Refresh: Earlier, on coming back to the app after a while, you would see stale data on the main view, this would now be refreshed if it has at least been 10 seconds since last refresh. - Improved Widget Content: Earlier, widgets would show empty state even if it previously had shown results. This was due to the device encrypting the API-Key when locked, disallowing the widget to update. I have added a cache to store and show the last known data until the widget is allowed to update. - Improved Widget Data Refresh: The widget is refreshed on opening or closing of NextHub to ensure that you are left with the freshest data. - Bolder font on the widget for easier reading of the content. - Moved viewing the logs button to the configuration summary card in configuration detail view for easier access. - The ‘Top Devices’ card now has an option to take you to view all your devices at the bottom. For those who run a myriad of devices under NextDNS, you are not limited anymore to only view 10 devices. - Cleaned up the app settings view for conciseness. Some features are nested under 'Customize Experience'. Added descriptions for some toggles, so you know what you're controlling. - Added buttons to quickly copy suggested shortcut names for enabling/disabling your NextDNS using the Shortcuts app. You will find this under the Setup Instructions section of the NextDNS Shortcuts settings option. What’s Fixed - Settings earlier had an option to toggle Haptic Feedback even on devices that did not have a Haptic Engine. You will now see this only where relevant. - An issue where time range picker would have an inoperative text label on iOS 16 devices is now fixed. Thanks, K, for bringing this to my attention!
