Faster capture choices
New text note, New photo note, and New voice note actions make it easier to start with the evidence you have instead of typing first.
Release notes
What's New in PhotoVox.
A lightweight changelog for the PhotoVox PWA. These notes describe app-readiness work without changing the local-first product boundary.
Latest updates
Beta-candidate updates.
Updated May 18, 2026. PhotoVox has been getting faster to capture with, easier to install, and clearer about local-first notes while manual QA continues.
Easier install and offline use
PhotoVox now has more visible in-app install guidance. Standard browser PWA install paths and offline reload have worked as expected in recent manual QA.
Safer local changes
Topic delete now uses a clearer in-app confirmation, and local media cleanup on delete has been tightened so old media references are handled more safely.
More careful backups and imports
Backup/import handling has stronger safety checks. ZIP backup/export/import remains the current transfer path for moving or protecting local PhotoVox data.
Reliability and recovery polish
Dialog focus behavior, service-worker update reliability, and the app recovery fallback have all been improved to make rough edges less disruptive.
Help is easier to find
In-app support links now point to Support, Privacy, Terms, What's New, the PhotoVox website, and examples, with reminders that notes start on this device.
Still being prepared
What is not live yet.
Local-first remains the default
Signing in does not automatically upload, download, merge, delete, or sync notes. ZIP backup/export/import remains the current manual safety and transfer path.
Sync and media sync are coming later
Future sync is still being prepared. It is not live yet, and installing or signing in does not turn on cloud backup.
Optional features are still in prep
Apple sign-in verification is pending, optional transcription may be unavailable until enabled, and billing or paid plans are not active.
Manual QA is underway
Recent checks found that the regular PWA install path, PC install, iOS/Android browser install path, and offline reload work as expected. More device and account checks are still planned.
