DotBGE 1.3.0 makes it easier to encrypt, browse, and organize files. • The free iOS vault now holds up to 20 encrypted files. • Browse your vault with a refreshed list. When Reuse Authentication is enabled, swipe between files and optionally show photo and video thumbnails using cached keys. • Secure Browse opens on a start page and lets you swipe between files in a folder. • Clearer encryption and decryption panels help you choose a destination and what happens to originals. Folder Quick Tasks now give clearer results when files are skipped or cannot be read. • Improved sharing, in-app file viewing, and privacy protection. Batch and folder encryption remain Pro features. Authentication reuse and vault thumbnails are optional and off by default.

Version 1.2.0 adds new ways to organize your vault and choose which files to encrypt. • Vault collections: organize files with names, colors, and icons. Add a file to several collections without duplicating it, and see each collection's file count and size. Collections sync when iCloud sync is enabled. • Folder file types: encrypt everything, only photos or videos, or selected file extensions under Advanced. The setup shows which files will stay unencrypted, and Quick Tasks remember your selection. • Background progress: on iOS 26, supported batch and folder runs can continue in the background with system progress and a stop control, subject to system availability and time limits. • Optional vault authentication reuse: reduce repeated prompts for up to five minutes while the app stays in the foreground. Off by default; enabling it requires device authentication. Per-file authentication remains the default. • Clearer option explanations and folder decryption controls, more reliable Quick Tasks and progress reporting, and consistent password-strength feedback in the app and share extension.

Version 1.1.1 makes folder encryption clearer and improves reliability when saving, repeating, and decrypting folder tasks. • Clearer folder setup: see where encrypted files will be saved and whether originals will be kept. Results distinguish completed, skipped, failed, and stopped runs. • Stronger checks before deleting originals: when you choose this option while encrypting for yourself, newly encrypted files are written to storage and verified by decryption first. Skipped files keep their originals. • Improved filename privacy: hidden names and naming choices stay consistent across repeated runs for the same folders. Folder decryption restores original file names and, for newly encrypted folders with hidden names, folder names. • More reliable Quick Tasks: tasks keep the identity you selected. If that identity or contact is unavailable, you can choose a recipient before running again. • Better storage checks, handling of unsaved outputs, folder decryption, and iCloud startup reliability.

Version 1.1.0 enhances vault privacy with app-private storage and brings a smoother export and decryption experience. • App-Private Vault Storage: Encrypted vault files now live in app-private storage instead of the Files app for enhanced privacy and isolation. • Explicit File Export: Export encrypted files from the vault or settings under readable names that preserve original file extensions. • Vault Storage Settings: View file count and storage usage in Settings, with biometric-protected "Export All" to take your files anywhere. • Smoother Decryption: Streamlined authentication when viewing and previewing vault files, eliminating redundant Face ID prompts. • General stability and performance improvements.

Version 1.0.9 focuses on stability and everyday polish. • Fixed an issue that could interrupt sharing your identity card. • General stability improvements.

Version 1.0.8 improves opening encrypted files from other apps. • Fixed an issue where .bge and .bgekey files opened from Mail, messaging apps, AirDrop, or Files could fail to enter the app on a cold launch. • Improved imported-file handling and cleanup for more reliable decryption and identity-card imports. • Added stability improvements to external file handoff.

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Version 1.0.6 focuses on smoother encryption and richer previews. • Browse encrypted packages and preview files inside, including photos, videos, PDFs, and text. • Improved batch photo and file encryption, including more reliable imports and cleaner package names. • Refined the Encrypt Message screen so typing, recipient selection, and password mode feel steadier. • Reworked picker and sheet handling to reduce failed or flickering source selections. • Added reliability fixes and UI polish across encryption, sharing, and preview flows.

Version 1.0.5 adds encrypted text messages for everyday private sharing. • Type or paste a message, choose yourself, a contact, or a password, then share it as a .bge file. • Added quick recipient choices for recent contacts. • Improved encrypted message opening and reading. • Refined Shortcuts support with a dedicated Encrypt Message action. • Small reliability and UI polish for opening .bge files from other apps.

Version 1.0.4 expands DotBGE for more users and improves the Share Extension flow. • Added Japanese and German language support. • Added localized text in the Share Extension. • When a folder is shared from Files, DotBGE now guides you to use folder encryption in the main app. • Small polish for the 1.0.4 release.

Version 1.0.3 makes folder encryption and identity sharing smoother and safer. • Improved folder encryption for repeated use, with clearer progress and less duplicate work. • Added a safer option to remove original files after encryption. • Strengthened Secure Browser locking and preview cleanup. • Improved key backup import with clearer error messages. • Improved contact card sharing, local nicknames, iCloud sync reliability, and localization.

• UI improvements and refinements throughout the app. • Improved in-app extraction of decrypted ZIP archives.

Version 1.0.1 makes DotBGE smoother for everyday encrypted-file workflows. • Opening .bge files from Files, Mail, and other apps now goes directly into the decryption experience. • Refined UI details across the main flow for a cleaner, easier-to-scan interface. • Improved handling around imported encrypted files, previews, and share flows. • Small reliability and polish fixes.
