Release Notes

Mobile Invoice Improvements

• Pinch-to-zoom enabled while an invoice modal is open; zoom is restored on close.
• Invoice scales correctly to fit the screen without horizontal overflow — padding is now accounted for in the zoom calculation.
• Invoice modal no longer forces full-screen height — it shrinks to content, eliminating empty space below short invoices.
• Invoice detail footer stacks into two rows on narrow screens; Update Status moved alongside Delete and Reprint PDF; redundant Close button removed.

Fixed

• Account deletion fixed on all platforms — was silently failing on iOS and web because ipcRenderer was null; now calls the Supabase Edge Function directly. CORS headers added to the Edge Function so browser and WebView clients can reach it.
• Payment method no longer silently dropped — the method field was being destructured but never saved to the database.
• Invoice PDF footer now handles empty fields — previously rendered dangling separators and trailing commas when address or website were blank.
• CapacitorAdapter implemented — was throwing on all methods; now works correctly. Storage routing fixed to use Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'ios' instead of the unreliable isCapacitor().
• Subscription panel showed "false" on iOS — a short-circuit evaluation bug was rendering the boolean as a literal string in the HTML template.
• Terms gate and paywall no longer shown multiple times on new account sign-in — initApp() was being called simultaneously on iOS; a guard flag now prevents this.
• Dead code removed from createNewProject.

Mobile / iOS

• iOS-safe login screen layout with safe area padding for notched and Dynamic Island devices.
• iOS invoice PDF export via Web Share API — share directly to AirPrint or Save to Files.
• Kanban drag-and-drop rebuilt with SortableJS; iOS users can tap any card to open the detail view.
• Settings navigates as a push stack on mobile instead of opening a modal.
• Mobile add buttons, drag handles, and card tap targets fixed throughout.
• Timer pill updated to use SVG icons; login screen logo respects safe area insets.
• RevenueCat iOS subscription integration — in-app purchase, restore, and management from Settings → Subscription.
• New subscribers on iOS are presented with a subscription screen on launch.
• iOS subscribers can manage or cancel their subscription and restore previous purchases directly from Settings → Subscription.
• Full-screen modal layouts apply safe area insets on all edges.
• Login screen vertically centered on all mobile screen sizes.

Changed

• "Unbilled This Month" banner renamed to "Ready to Invoice" for clarity.

Fixed

• Deadline date input no longer overflows its container on iOS.
• Clients with overdue invoices now correctly show the overdue indicator in the sidebar.
• + Log Time button within the task detail window now works correctly.

Added

• Settings → Help — new section with embedded how-to content from aeto.app and a contact link to [email protected]
• Trial onboarding — 30-day free trial now starts automatically the moment a new user accepts the Terms of Service, with no separate activation step required. A one-time welcome banner on the Tasks screen confirms the trial is running.
• Login screen — two-column layout with intent-aware copy: "Welcome back" for returning users, "Start your free trial" when arriving via the signup CTA. Includes a reassurance line, footer links (Privacy Policy, Terms of Service), and a brand panel with display typography.

Changed

• Task card urgency is now expressed as a background gradient and box-shadow rather than a colored left-border stripe. Each urgency level (overdue, due today, tomorrow, 2 days, 3 days, in review) has its own color treatment, applied consistently across Kanban, List, and Calendar views.
• Version number restored to Settings → Account panel.

Fixed

• Help iframe now loads correctly in the app. aeto.app's X-Frame-Options header is stripped locally so the embedded page renders as intended.

Added

• New Settings view with Account, Subscription, Timer, and Danger Zone sections
• Gear icon in sidebar replaces profile navigation
• Kanban To Do column supports drag-to-reorder with visual drop indicator

• Auto-starting timer from kanban card uses task title for slip name
• Done column cards no longer show due date/overdue badge
• Favicon auto-fetch no longer crashes web app
• Web app login correctly detects platform

Changed

• Upgrade toast and activation banner link to Settings → Billing
• Auth token refresh retries 3× with backoff on wake-from-sleep
• System-resume network wait increased from 2s to 5s

Fixed

• Web timer resume: play button after pause now resumes instead of navigating
• Subscription access enforced based on current_period_end field
• Profile page shows Inactive when subscription period lapses
• Readonly mode blocks all timer entry points and inline task creation
• Upgrade toast covers both trial-ended and lapsed-subscription scenarios

Fixed

• Session no longer lost on wake from sleep (token refresh conflict between main/renderer processes)
• Invoice line items now group all slips per task, rounding hours once — fixes inflated unbilled totals and duplicate line items
• Invoice line items now show the task name instead of "Task work"
• Auto-starting a timer from a kanban card now uses the task title for the slip name
• Done column kanban cards no longer show the due date / overdue badge

Changed

Improvements

• Profitability card strip on project detail (Details tab) for flat-fee projects: shows fixed fee, hours logged, effective rate, and target comparison

Bug Fixes

• Fixed blank screen after waking from sleep — the app now silently refreshes your session when the Mac wakes up. If the session has fully expired, it shows the login screen cleanly instead of a blank screen
• Fixed auto-timer defaulting to off — the automatic timer-on-drag feature is now enabled by default for new users; existing preferences are preserved
• Fixed deep link handling on cold launch — the aeto:// protocol is now registered earlier, so opening a magic link when the app isn't running works reliably

Design

• New magenta accent color throughout the app, replacing the previous purple
• Calendar day columns are now equal width — long task names no longer push individual columns wider
• Logged time on Kanban cards is now brighter and easier to read

Security

• Remove .env bundling from app
• Hardcode Supabase/PostHog keys in main process

Auto-Update

• Add ZIP target for macOS electron-updater delivery
• Fix quitAndInstall not relaunching after update
• Cap PostHog shutdown at 2s so it doesn't block relaunch

Analytics

• Fix tray menu task switch resetting timer to 0
• Fix PostHog main process crash on launch
• Revert "Unbilled This Month" to done-only tasks

1.2.5 — Wake from sleep & staged releases

• Added 2-second delay on system resume before re-fetching data (gives network time to reconnect)
• Removed sample data fallback on load error — keeps existing data displayed instead of replacing with placeholder content
• Re-renders current view (dashboard, workload, client detail) after data reload, not just kanban
• Staged release pipeline: npm run release:staging creates a draft, npm run release:promote makes it live

1.2.4 — Login & system wake fix

• Fixed isElectron() returning false in production: VITE_APP_PLATFORM=electron was accidentally removed from .env during cleanup, causing login button to do nothing and system-resume handler to not register

1.2.3 — Auto-update format fix

• Added ZIP as a build target alongside DMG — electron-updater on macOS requires a ZIP file for updates, not a DMG

Auto-update & security fixes

• Fixed auto-update hash mismatch: removed manual codesign step that was invalidating latest-mac.yml after electron-builder generated it
• Removed GH_TOKEN from .env; stored in ~/.aeto-secrets (never bundled in the app)
• Removed .env from the distributed app bundle entirely
• Hardcoded Supabase credentials in main process instead of reading from bundled .env

Profile Screen

• Added in-app content panel (420×420) on the right side, loading from aeto.app/in-app
• Panel is right-aligned, borderless, sticky while the profile scrolls
• On mobile, panel stacks below the profile form
• Profile form fields capped at 520px so they don't stretch too wide

Kanban

• Add Task buttons appear in every column
• Buttons stay pinned below the last card during drag operations
