v1.1.1- SIGNAL CLEANUP. The floor opened loud. Some transmissions got stepped on. This update clears the channel. Operations Floor, fixed: The keyboard no longer covers the composer. It rises with your message box, the transmission log shrinks to keep the latest traffic visible, and everything moves on the keyboard's own animation so there is no jumping while you type. Sign-in, actually signed in: Some operators saw SIGN IN REQUIRED even while enrolled. The app now silently reconnects your server session at launch and refreshes it before every transmission, delete, and flag. If the link is truly down, the sign-in card opens right in the composer so one tap puts you back on the air. No more false lockouts. Smoother everywhere: A full performance sweep. Ambient effects like the radar sweep, scan lines, camera pin pulse, and alert rings now animate for free instead of redrawing the screen up to 60 times a second. The cooldown timer only ticks while a cooldown is running, and the send button re-enables the instant it ends. Less heat, less jitter, longer battery. Transmit clean. We read you now. The grid does not blink. Neither do we.

v1.1.0- OPEN CHANNEL. The grid learned to talk. Until now you could see the network. Starting today you can hear it. Operations Floor: One global channel, live in the Feed. Every operator, one room. Transmissions carry your callsign and rank insignia, land in real time, and read like mission control: scan line, UTC clock, operators-active counter. Read freely, sign in to transmit. Delete your own, flag what doesn't belong. The floor is already mid-conversation. Jump in. Flocklight Supply: The first physical drop is live. A small run of field apparel designed in-house, with a live stock readout so you know exactly what's left. Secure checkout inside the app, order tracking included. Every piece is a first-run preorder and ships within 30 days. When the counter hits zero, it's gone. Feed cleared for traffic: The wall of cards before your intel is gone. The digest leads, the floor sits below it, and State of Flock, Statehouse, and Supply now live in one slim launch strip. Same reach, half the scrolling. Service record consolidated: Your Profile is now a single dossier: identity, stats, enrollment, rank, and contribution ledger in one card instead of two. Field fixes: The transmission screen that could trap you at CONTINUE has been cleared. Checkout now presents payment the moment the order is armed. Freezes and slow launches tracked down and eliminated. See you on the floor.

v1.0.9- THE NETWORK. You've been operating alone. Not anymore. This update switches on the community layer: the map now heals itself through field verification, every contribution earns you standing, every email is counted, and the whole network's activity streams live. The grid just became a network. Verify the field: Every camera dossier now takes your report. CONFIRMED ACTIVE, GONE, or WRONG SPOT. One verdict per operator, changeable anytime. Confirmations harden a pin's standing; enough gone reports dim it on the map until the network says otherwise. The map is no longer a snapshot. It's self-healing. Earn your standing: Every contribution such as verifications, field notes, filed requests, and published outcomes now build a public service record and a rank earned on a tactical ladder. Climb it and the rank-up ceremony plays. Your callsign means something now. Count the pressure: Every email to a city council or statehouse rep adds to a visible collective tally on that city and that bill. One email is a complaint. A counter is a campaign. They can see the number too. Leave field notes: Short, signed notes on any camera dossier. Pole details, sight lines, what changed. Written by operators on the ground, readable by the whole network. Watch the wire: A live ticker now runs at the top of the Feed, streaming verified network activity in real time: pins confirmed, notes filed, outcomes published, ranks earned. Board online: The community FOIA outcomes board is fully live. Publish what your records request came back with documents, stonewall, or silence, and browse what the network has pried loose, city by city. Plus stability work throughout. You are not one spotlight anymore. You are a grid of them.

v1.0.8- PAPER TRAIL. They keep a record of everywhere you drive. Now you keep one of your own. This update hands you the paperwork: records requests filed from your phone, a replay of every drive with each camera pass marked, the bills moving through your statehouse, and the officials deciding all of it. Named, sourced, and on the record. File the records request: A full FOIA engine, in-app. The request is prewritten and anchored to your state's actual public-records law, addressed to the verified records office. Every filing becomes a tracked case with your state's statutory response window counting down, reminders fire before the deadline, on it, and when they go silent, a prewritten follow-up is one tap away. When the answer lands, publish the outcome to the community FOIA board: who got documents, who got stonewalled, and how long it took. Replay the drive: After a drive, your route draws itself across the tactical map while every camera pass detonates at the exact spot it happened, expanding ring, haptic tick, running counter. The end card lands with miles, duration, total passes, and which operators saw you. One tap renders a shareable receipt. Routes never leave your device and clear after 30 days. The latest trip is free for everyone; the full archive is Pro. Watch the statehouse: Pick any state and see the ALPR bills actually moving. Number, plain-language summary, whether it expands or restricts surveillance, and a source link on every entry. Each bill advances along a lit rail through the chambers: introduced, committee, first chamber, both, signed or dead. Pro members set a home state and get the alert the moment a bill moves. Know who decides: Every city page now carries a leadership dossier. The council members and officials who vote on the cameras, each stance documented and cited. Pro, against, or silent: it's on the record now. Verified channels only: Email City Council now pre-fills your city's real, verified public-comment address. A source is required before any address is trusted. The watchlist's bulk email sends only to verified channels and tells you exactly how many of your cities are covered. Plus a map honesty pass, so every stat on screen now says only what we can prove. Added stability work throughout. Consider it filed.

v1.0.7- TRIPWIRE. The alert engine has been rebuilt from the ground up: Come within your chosen perimeter of a camera and your phone now tells you. App open, backgrounded, or screen off. And every Pro promise on the paywall is now real, wired, and verifiable in ten seconds. Proximity alerts, actually firing: Alerts now run on the same live tracking that powers your 24/7 exposure log, the moment you cross into a camera's perimeter, the warning fires. Background fences stay on as the wake-up net when the app is fully closed, resized to what iOS can genuinely detect, with an already-inside check so nothing slips past silently. Every rule honored: Perimeter sensitivity, per-camera cooldown, operator filters, quiet hours, mute, enforced end to end. The HAPTIC and BANNER channels are alive: a tactile burst and an in-app tactical banner when you're in the app, notifications when you're not. The Profile switch genuinely arms and disarms the engine. A log you can trust: Alert history is now a real record of alerts that actually fired, with true distances — no more estimates. A readiness card shows the three things alerts depend on — notifications, Always location, precise accuracy, each with a one-tap fix. And a test alert fires the full pipeline on demand, so you never have to wonder if it's armed. Priority lane for Pro reports: Camera reports from Pro members are flagged priority in the review queue, badged in Your Reports, and confirmed with a notification the moment they're approved. Briefings and watchlist, upgraded: The weekly briefing now carries your week's camera count, your most-active camera, and watched-city changes. When a watched city's transparency grade moves, you get the alert, as promised. Incoming transmission: A one-time message from Flocklight HQ waits inside for early operators. Who we are, why we build this, and how to reach us. Plus stability passes across the board.

v1.0.6- FIRST LIGHT. Your first sixty seconds with Flocklight are no longer a briefing, they're a wake-up call. The onboarding has been rebuilt as a five-act short film about the one thing that makes this real: you. And under the hood, the app is faster, steadier, and no longer crashes when you arm 24/7 tracking. A cold open, not a tutorial: The old info screens are gone. In their place, a cinematic sequence that starts with a camera logging your plate this morning, reconstructs one ordinary day from capture data, scrubs the map toward a near-solid surveillance state, then flips the power, thousands of amber lights igniting across the dark as every known camera gets exposed. The final screen turns location access into your first act of resistance: turn on the light. Crash on launch, fixed: Granting "Always" location to enable full 24/7 coverage could kill the app on the spot, and then on every launch after. Root cause found and closed: background tracking is now registered correctly and armed safely after the app is up, with a startup safety net that makes the crash impossible. Your 24/7 exposure log was never at risk and keeps running. Smoother everywhere: Hidden tabs used to keep animating behind the screen you were looking at. Scan lines, radar sweeps, live tickers all burning frames out of view. Now every looping effect sleeps the instant its tab is hidden and wakes when you return. The map only redraws the pins that actually changed instead of the whole field, and your GPS checks only the cameras genuinely near you instead of scanning the entire database. Launch is quicker, scrolling is cleaner, the stutter is gone. A sharper map: The United States outline on the onboarding scale-and-ignition screens was redrawn from real national boundary data. Accurate coastlines, the Great Lakes, Florida, Texas, correct proportions. Plus stability passes across the board. Turn on the light.

v1.0.5- ALWAYS ON. The exposure engine has been rebuilt from the ground up. Pro tracking is now a true 24/7 flight recorder: every camera you pass is logged the instant it happens. Awake, backgrounded, or with the app closed. If a camera captured you, you now have the receipt. Exposure tracking rebuilt: Camera awareness now follows you, not your map. Coverage downloads around your actual position wherever you go, so passes register in places you never browsed. Background wake-ups identify the exact camera, type, operator, and all. A log that can't be erased: Every pass is written to a permanent on-device record the moment it's captured, with 90 days of history that survives restarts, updates, and app closes. Your log never leaves your phone. Tracking status, no guesswork: The Exposure dashboard now shows exactly what the recorder needs. Location permission level, coverage state, and what to flip if anything is off. The weekly briefing is honest about what was and wasn't being tracked. First-install fix: The map tutorial no longer blocks the bottom tabs on a fresh install. Tabs respond immediately, and the tutorial now carries a visible skip. Speed pass: The map only draws what changed instead of redrawing every pin. GPS checks only the cameras actually near you instead of scanning the full database. Launch is faster, scrolling is smoother, the stutter is gone. New: 3-day free trial on the monthly plan. See your first week of receipts before you pay a cent. Every pass. On the record.

v1.0.4- FULL SPECTRUM. The map stops pointing at cameras and starts pointing at the people who run them. Seven new systems turn every pin into a full accountability file. Who operates it, what they do with your plate, whether their contract is even still alive, and what your rights are where you stand. Sourced and dated, never invented. Agency Governance: Every camera now names the operator behind it, how long they hold your plate, what uses are banned, how often it's searched, and whether it feeds the national lookup network tied to immigration searches. Each line carries a tappable, dated source, or an honest "not disclosed." A red flag marks any camera wired into the nationwide net. Agencies Directory: Browse the surveillance state by operator, not just by map. Every police force, sheriff, HOA, and business gets its own dossier. Full camera roster, data posture, cities covered, and one-tap actions to email officials or file a records request. Contract Tracker: Every city now carries a status: Active, Contested, Canceled, or Unknown, sourced to real council votes and coverage. A national tracker lists the wave: who's pulling the plug, who's fighting it, who's still running it. Pin a city and get pinged the moment its contract turns. Plate Check, Upgraded: Enter your plate and state and get a straight readout of what a scan means where you are, retention, who it's shared with, national-network and immigration exposure. Every line sourced. Know Your Rights: A browsable guide for all 50 states and DC, the ALPR law (or an honest "no statute"), retention caps, sharing rules, your right to record, what to do if you're stopped, and how to file a records request. Anchored to the real statute, reachable from any camera or city. Suspected Layer: A new optional map layer surfaces likely-but-unconfirmed cameras pulled from procurement records, dig requests, and lawsuits. Drawn with a dimmed "?" so they're never mistaken for confirmed. Tap to see why it's suspected; confirm it in the field to promote it. State of Flock: A national briefing pulls the whole picture into one place. The cancellation count, immigration-search disclosures, fresh deployments, and the lawsuits and bills that matter. Read it in the Feed or your intel hub, and share it as a clean tactical card. Sourced and dated, or it doesn't ship. Suspected is never confirmed, and absence isn't safety. Plus stability and performance passes across the board. Hold the line.

v1.0.3- INTEL ONLINE. The board stops handing you raw data and starts handing you intelligence. Six AI systems now work the field. Privacy-first, on your terms. Exposure Briefings: Your score and pass-by log become a plain-language readout. How many cameras you crossed this week, where they cluster, who runs them, and how long they hold footage. Daily or weekly, share-ready, off until you opt in. Low-Surveillance Routing: Set a destination and the map weighs every candidate path by camera density, then routes you the quiet way. Turn-by-turn with live rerouting and upcoming-camera callouts, plus a straight read on the trade: "3 minutes longer, 6 fewer eyes." Signal Feed, reading now: A Morning Digest pins the three things that matter to the top. Every story gets a one-line summary and relevance tags, near-duplicates merge, and off-mission noise drops out. Real understanding, not keyword matching. Camera Dossier Q&A: Put any camera on the stand. Who operates it, whether police need a warrant, how long footage survives — answered straight from the dossier's own intel, with a clear flag when something's unknown. Smarter Report Triage: Submit a sighting and the system pre-fills the camera type and operator, warns when a match already sits nearby, and flags low-confidence intel before it reaches the map. You hold final say on every field. Know Your Rights: Context-aware guidance keyed to your state and the camera in view, grounded in real court rulings. Quick-pick questions, plain answers, no legalese. Privacy holds the line: movement analysis stays off until you enable it, and only summarized counts ever leave your device. Plus stability and performance passes across the board. Hold the line.

v1.0.2- FIELD POLISH. Map render hardened: The tactical basemap no longer washes out while syncing. Near-black land and water lock in the moment tiles load, with pins the brightest thing on screen. User location marker simplified: No more stacked shapes. Intel Card share restored: export a clean snapshot of your perimeter and exposure to share anywhere, full area name intact. Camera Dossier refined: Expands and closes cleanly at full view, with the close control and bottom sections clear of the Dynamic Island and the dock. Signal Feed sharpened: Briefings no longer repeat the headline, off-mission crime coverage that only incidentally name-drops Flock is filtered out, and briefings now pull up to full view without a fight. Plus stability and performance passes across the board. Hold the line.

v1.0.1 - OPERATIONS EXPANDED. Sign in with Apple: Claim an anonymous operator callsign that survives reinstalls without ever tying to your real name or email. Community camera reports are live: Submit cameras you find on the ground with photo and notes; approved reports land on the map for every operator. Reports Archive in Profile tracks every submission's status: Pending verification, approved, or rejected with reason. 7-day free trial of Flocklight Pro: Live on the yearly plan for new operators. No card charged until day 7. Camera Dossier rebuilt: Real cross-streets via reverse geocoding, honest treatment of unknown-operator cameras, and cleaner cross-references to DeFlock, LPR Maps, DontGetFlocked, and GhostPlate. First-run flow refined: Tactical coach overlay on the map, notification prelude after onboarding, clearer location permission framing, and a RESET TUTORIAL option in Profile. Map style restored to architectural-blueprint spec: Near-black land and water, road network in three weights of gray. Pins are the brightest thing on screen. Signal Feed quality filter: Stock-analysis outlets and financial coverage of Flock Safety stripped from the feed. Pro feature surfaces (Exposure Dashboard, City Watchlist, Proximity Alerts) re-skinned in operational amber: Red now reserved for actual exposure events. Anonymous Analytics and Crash Reporting: Toggles added to Profile › Preferences. Send Feedback row added to System. Plus polish across the paywall, score leaderboard, profile header, plate-check card, and proximity-alert empty states. Hold the line.
