What's new in this version: • Faster unlocking on phones where it was slow. • Connecting is faster and more reliable. • Private messages from group members now show in the group, marked private, with a reply option. • Group messages arriving during a one-to-one chat show there, marked with the group name. • Leaving a conversation no longer loses arriving messages. • Adding contacts and moving phones no longer fail on some slower phones.

What's new in this version: • Dialogs fit their text again, and long button labels are shown in full.

What's new in this version: • Menu items that need a connection are greyed out until Rún is connected. • Right after setting up, a locked Rún now asks for your PIN or passphrase instead of showing setup again. • Tor is updated with the latest security fixes.

What's new in this version: • Fixes from a full security review — most of them invisible. • Maximum protection is now enforced on a phone with no screen lock. • Pairing by scanning finishes right after the other phone scans back. • Moving to a new phone by scanning the code no longer crashes. • A message in a group no longer shows as unread on the contact who sent it. • If you had Debug mode on, switch it on once more.

What's new in this version: • Tor updated to 0.4.9.12, a security release. The About screen shows the version Rún bundles. • Debug mode now sends diagnostics from the first connection on a phone protected by a passcode, without switching it off and on again.

What's new in this version: • Debug mode keeps sending diagnostics after Rún has been in the background, and on a phone protected by a passcode. • Rún keeps what you type out of the keyboard's learned words wherever it can, at every protection level. • Each protection level now says plainly whether the keyboard may learn what you type.

What's new in this version: • Unread indicators appear almost immediately after connecting. • Decent and Secure keep keyboard suggestions and emoji; Maximum keeps a keyboard that learns nothing. • The admin role is no longer handed over while a member is still joining a group. • If a secure channel can't be set up, Rún stops sending instead of quietly using weaker protection. • Debug mode sends diagnostics reliably after a restart.

What's new in this version: • Turning notifications off and back on again now works reliably. • Cleaner progress text while Rún connects, and the slow-connection hint is no longer cut off.

What's new in this version: • Removing someone from a group now waits for the others to confirm it, so it can't quietly fail. • A chat from an introduction shows who vouched for you, and no one can flood you with them. • While Rún connects, you see moving dots and bigger text, plus a hint if it takes a while. • Rún checks in less often when idle, and a wipe now removes the last leftover files.

What's new in this version: • A group invite you haven't joined yet now survives closing the app — it's waiting when you come back. • Connecting is quicker: Rún now works past a stalled connection on its own, and your contact list appears sooner. • Conversations now tell you when forward secrecy hasn't engaged yet — it usually clears once your contact replies.

What's new in this version: • Fixes a crash that closed Rún a few seconds after every unlock on some of the newest phones. • If the app kept quitting on you at launch, this update is the fix — nothing else changes.

What's new in this version: • Rún tells you when an introduction you made is accepted, and again once both sides approve. • New in Settings: Debug mode — opt in to send anonymous logs that help fix connection problems. • The live connection log now covers the whole path to the relay. Neither log identifies you. • Rún keeps its way into Tor between launches instead of starting over. • Contacts now appear with their unread dots already in place.

What's new in this version: • Contacts and Add contact appear once the relay has answered. • The connecting number never stalls; the red ring pulses harder and holds solid when the relay answers. • Triple-tap the connecting line for a live connection log that identifies nobody. • The push-notification question now waits until you are connected. • Notification walkthrough cut to three pages plus the switch. • After connecting, the app reports just the seconds it took to the relay — nothing identifying.

What's new in this version: • Move Rún to a new phone, even a different kind: one sealed scan, no cloud. • Group removals and leaves stick, retried for a week. • Pairing says “Almost there” until the second scan, or cancel. • Connecting shows real progress, retries faster; the first takes minutes. • Notifications say what the relay learns; Settings flag keys to re-harden. • Faked contact updates can't re-route messages; wipes leave less behind.

What's new in this version: • The runestone lights white when Rún reaches the relay, and your contacts and groups are ready to open right then. • Connection progress is back on the contact list, with a Reconnect button if the relay stalls. • Leaving a chat or group is quicker — one round trip to the relay instead of several. • A group message now lights the unread dot on the group, not on the person who sent it.

What's new in this version: • Five new languages — Arabic, Persian, Somali, Russian and Macedonian — bring Rún to 13; Arabic and Persian lay out right to left. • Choose the app's language in Settings, whatever the phone is set to. • New: Report bug — tell us what went wrong, anonymously over Tor. • The runestone now turns solid red as soon as Tor connects. • The first contact or group no longer slips under the top bar.

• Fixed: on a full contact list, the last contact could sit half-hidden and be hard to tap — it's now fully visible and tappable. • Declining a group invitation now sticks — a declined invite won't reappear. • Group names can no longer be left blank. • More reliable vouched introductions, plus stability and security hardening throughout.

• Rún now speaks Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish. It follows your iPhone's language, or pick one under Settings → Rún → Language. Notification banners appear in your language too. • Screenshot notice: if a contact takes a screenshot of a conversation, everyone in it is told. • Vouched introductions are more robust — they now survive the app being closed, arrive through push, and stay valid for seven days. • Optional app-icon badge when a message is waiting (only if you've turned on notifications). • A gentle notice when a newer version of Rún is available. • Maximum level: a periodic passphrase re-check while the app is open. • Connection status shows the Tor percentage and the relay phase separately, and recovers on its own if Tor stalls. • Reliability and security hardening throughout.

New • Screenshot alerts — if someone takes a screenshot of your conversation, you’re both notified. • Notification setup — a quick prompt after your first unlock helps you turn on message notifications. • Interrupted-conversation warning — if you leave a chat before it finishes sending, we let you know the next time you open the app. Faster & more reliable • Quicker, steadier connections, with live connection progress so you can see it working. • Messages send and sync faster, with fewer stalls after opening the app. • Unread indicators now appear almost instantly after you connect. • More reliable notifications. • Contact introductions are more dependable and no longer interrupted if the app closes. Plus various stability improvements and refinements.

Optional push notifications - Opt-in APNs push so you're alerted to new messages without keeping Rún open. Off by default; the app stays silent unless you enable it. - A walkthrough carousel explains what the relay can and can't see before you turn it on. Redesigned "Choose your protection" - New dynamic slider with a morphing hero; Private is now biometric-only (Face ID). - Clearer UI: the "can't pick this level" reason is shown in red, and the base device-security panel is hidden from the chooser. - A phone with no lock screen is now held at Maximum automatically. Connection-aware UI - Contact rows, group rows, and New group are greyed out and disabled until the private relay connection is ready — no more silent failures. - Conversation ••• menu reworked to a sheet (fixes an iOS 26 accessibility flake). Data safety & security - Never provision over an existing vault — closes a rare data-loss path. - Group fix: correctly resolves an ex‑admin after admin handoff and buffers messages from a not‑yet‑resolved sender. - Additional forensic-resistance hardening (in‑RAM buffers scrubbed before release).

Improved: - More resilient connections — the app now recovers on its own from a stuck Tor connection when you reopen it. - Ongoing security and privacy hardening across vault storage, key handling, and the message protocol. - Stability and reliability fixes. - New UI design.

Choose how strongly your vault is protected — new protection levels: • Casual — quick PIN unlock with relaxed timers. • Private — the vault key is bound to the Secure Enclave, behind Face ID or Touch ID, with a one-time recovery code you can save. • Maximum — a strong passphrase instead of a PIN, the strictest timers, and the Ægishjálmr runestone theme. Pick a level during setup and change it any time in Settings. A new device panel shows your phone's security posture at a glance. Also in this version: • Forward secrecy for chats — keys ratchet forward with every exchange, so past messages stay sealed even if a key is exposed. • Stronger vault key derivation (Argon2id). • Updated Tor and SQLCipher engines. • The app now locks itself when idle. • Security hardening and fixes throughout.
