Foldic is now free to download, with everything unlocked for 7 days. • If you bought Foldic before this update, nothing changes for you: every feature stays unlocked, forever, on Mac and iPhone. No trial, no subscription, nothing to do. • New users get 7 days of full access. After that, browsing your albums and backup status stays free; running a backup, auto-sync and deep compare need Foldic Pro — a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. One plan covers Mac and iPhone. • Restore Purchases is in Settings, under Foldic Pro.

A small maintenance release. Nothing changes in how Foldic works — the App Store page gets a clearer name and subtitle that say what Foldic does: backing up your photos.

When something goes wrong, you can now tell me about it properly. • A new Report to Developer screen, reached from the log button at the top left. It gathers what Foldic recorded along with a few lines about your iPhone and your backup drive — the version, the drive's format, how much space is free — which is usually what decides whether a problem can be solved from one message instead of five. • Album and photo names are replaced with short tokens before anything leaves your iPhone, and the names of your drive and your account are removed. Sizes, timings and error messages are kept, because those are what make a report useful. You see the whole thing before it goes anywhere, and nothing is ever sent automatically. • The log used to throw away its history when it reached its size limit, which meant it could be almost empty at the exact moment you went to report something. It now keeps the previous stretch as well. • Copying a very large video records how memory behaves as it goes. That is what identified the crash fixed in 0.8.3, and keeping the trace is how a return of it would be spotted quickly rather than after another round of guessing. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17.

Large videos, and a stronger guarantee about every file. • Backing up a video of several gigabytes no longer risks the app being closed by the system partway through. Reported by a customer on an iPhone with plenty of free space: videos above about 2 GB could not finish. Foldic now handles a file of any size a few megabytes at a time. • Large files say what they are doing. Past 256 MB the progress area names the file and counts up — while it is being copied, and again while it is read back to be checked. A 5 GB video takes minutes in each of those steps, and the app used to say nothing during either. • The verification is now stricter, and faster. Foldic records the fingerprint of what your photo library served rather than of what arrived on the disk, so reading a file back afterwards compares the two instead of comparing the disk with itself. A large video also copies about a third quicker, because one full read of it has gone. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17.

Two improvements, both from user feedback. • Scan All now saves "All Photos" for last. Your other albums finish and show their results first, instead of waiting behind the biggest album in the library. • Albums being synced move to the top of the list, with the queue right behind them — no scrolling to see what is in progress. This can be turned off in Settings. • Our developer account has moved. Nothing changes for you, but if iOS asks to allow Photos access again, that is why. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17.

A fix for the date correction that shipped in 0.8. • 0.8 gave backed-up photos their taken-on dates back, and promised existing files would be corrected as each album syncs. But an album that is already fully backed up never syncs again, so its files were never corrected. The correction now also runs during the scan, which every album goes through: open Foldic, run a scan, and your folders browse in date order again. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17.

Foldic runs on iPad as a proper iPad app, and your backup can now be proved rather than assumed. • iPad and iPad mini, natively. Foldic fills the screen instead of running as a phone window, and rotates. Backing up to a USB-C drive is arguably better here than on a phone: a bigger screen and faster transfers. • Deep Compare — hold an album, or run it for all of them from Settings. Foldic reads every file it has written and checks the contents against your photo library, names anything damaged on the album's row, and repairs it in one tap. • Files are verified straight after they are written, by default — the check that catches a drive claiming it saved your photo when it did not. • Backed-up photos carry the date they were taken again. Version 0.7 wrote the moment the download finished, so folders browsed in the wrong order. Existing backups are corrected the next time each album syncs. • Albums can be left out of syncing, for when the same photo sits in several albums and you would rather not have a copy in each. • Fixed: a drive with plenty of room could be reported as full, stopping the whole sync. This affected USB drives formatted as exFAT — most of them — after any single file failed. • New app icon. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17.

• New app icon design

• A full backup drive now stops the sync with one clear message, instead of failing every remaining photo one by one with an error that never said "disk full". • A drive that comes back read-only — the usual aftermath of unplugging without ejecting — is now named as the problem, with the fix. • A drive that disconnects mid-sync is reported plainly, instead of as a wall of per-file errors. • Foldic now speaks Korean.

Foldic has been rebuilt as a native iPhone app. • Scanning happens when you ask for it. Opening Foldic lists your albums; tap Scan to check the drive, or scan a single album from its row. A scan can be cancelled and finished albums keep their results. • Album folders are remembered. Renaming an album in Photos no longer copies the whole album again into a second folder on your drive. • Files in an album's folder that belong to none of its photos are now counted on the row, so you can see what is there. Nothing is removed unless you ask. • New setting: back up edited versions too. Off by default, because the backup holds the photo as your camera captured it. Turned on, each edited photo also gets a second file with the edit applied. • Power-saving screen during long syncs: the display dims and shows progress, and any touch brings it back. • Exports can be named after the original photo, and the diagnostic log is readable inside the app. If Foldic asks you to choose your drive folder again after updating, pick the same folder as before. Your existing backups are recognised and nothing is copied twice. Requires iOS 17.
