Releases — A Day

1.1.1 29 Oct 2026

A bug-fix update

Fixes for a crash, the daily limit, saving to Photos and leftover files, so the app is steadier and cleans up after itself.

Bulk delete no longer crashes. Selecting snaps and tapping the trash button, including when the gallery was over its limit, could close the app. It now deletes the selected snaps normally.
The daily limit of 24 holds when you shoot fast. Tapping the shutter rapidly could push the day past 24 snaps. Extra captures are now turned away, and video recording follows the same rule.
Save to Photos keeps the details. Photos you save now show where and when they were taken, along with camera info, in the Photos app. Videos show their place too.
Deleting a snap now removes its files. Swipe-to-delete and bulk delete used to remove the snap from the gallery but leave its photo or video file on your iPhone. Both now delete the files as well.
Leftover files get cleaned up. When you open the app, it removes files from earlier deletions that no longer belong to any snap.
Widget thumbnails are smaller. Thumbnails are now saved and loaded at a size that fits the widget, instead of at full photo size.

Location is saved inside your photo and video files. If you share a file from A Day, it can carry the coordinates of where it was taken. If you'd rather not share that, turn Location off for A Day in iOS Settings before you capture.

1.1.0 30 Sep 2026

A new look for iOS 26, plus a Settings screen, a Lock Screen widget, flash control and clearer permission handling.

Settings. Open it from the gear in the Home toolbar. The Photos and Location rows show their current permission status. "Contact us" opens Mail with the subject filled in, or offers to copy our email address if no Mail account is set up.
Lock Screen widget. It has three modes, chosen with long-press → Edit Widget: Open Camera, Time Left (a live countdown to your newest snap's expiry) and Today's Count (a gauge against the 24-snap limit). It comes in circular, rectangular and inline sizes.
Flash. Switch between off, auto and on for photos and videos, from a button in the camera preview.
Media info. Swipe up in the Detail view to see a snap's details.
Save to Photos. Export a snap from the Detail toolbar, the selection bar, or a long-press on a gallery card.
Camera and microphone permissions. If you deny one, a full-screen alert offers a shortcut to iOS Settings. While another app is using the camera or microphone (a video call, say), photos still work like the system Camera, and video recording is blocked with an explanation instead of failing silently.
"Location Off" vs "Location Unavailable". A snap without a place name now shows why. The app and the widget use the same label.

Liquid Glass design on iOS 26 across Camera, Detail and Home, including toolbars, the shutter and capture buttons, the selection bar and alerts. Earlier iOS versions use a fallback style.
Home screen. "Today" sits below the toolbar and the empty gap above the first card is gone. In select mode the gear hides, the count reads "1 Snap selected" or "N Snaps selected", and selected cards get a ring.
Confirmations. Share and delete confirmations now appear next to the control you tapped. Bulk delete looks destructive, and bulk share and delete dim while nothing is selected.
Light appearance. A Day stays in its light look even when your iPhone is in Dark Mode, so controls and status bar text stay readable.
Permission messages. The Camera, Microphone and Photos alerts are rewritten in clearer wording. The Camera alert no longer mentions the microphone, and an "always" location permission the app never used is no longer declared.

Camera preview lag on iPhones with multiple cameras.
Detail view scrolling. The main preview now follows the bottom selector while you drag it, and the two no longer stutter or blink. Deleting the last snap from inside Detail closes it instead of leaving a blank screen.
Background cleanup of expired snaps now runs as scheduled.
Glass controls no longer flash when you toggle select mode or open swipe-to-delete.
The Home title no longer stays hidden after you scroll back to the top. The swipe-to-delete button now shrinks with its card. Tapping a selected card, checkmark included, deselects it.
Detail view gestures work on iOS 26.
The black overlay shown during capture now sits where it should.
The Select button uses the app's typeface.

1.0.1 26 Nov 2025

A bug-fix update focused on scrolling in the Detail view, plus a share button there.

The Detail carousel scrolled in the wrong direction and could leave the main preview out of sync. A video no longer disappears after you drag the carousel.
Thumbnail scrolling and the thumbnail button in the Detail view.
Layout and colours no longer break when your iPhone is in Dark Mode.
Clearer wording on the delete confirmation.

1.0 21 Nov 2025

A camera for snaps that expire: up to 24 a day, each deleted automatically once its time is up.

Snaps that expire. Every snap is deleted automatically when its time is up, and each one shows a running "time left".
Camera. Photo and video capture with a capture animation and haptic feedback, pinch to zoom, tap to focus, and a recording length limit. Capture orientation follows your device.
Daily limit of 24 snaps. The shutter is disabled once you reach it, with a warning that explains why.
Gallery. The home screen lists the day's snaps with their remaining time, place name and, for videos, duration. You can select several to share or delete at once, and deleting asks for confirmation first.
Detail view. Full-screen photo and video playback, a thumbnail carousel to move between snaps, pinch to zoom, and swipe down to close. Playback pauses when you move to another snap.
Widgets. Small and medium Home Screen widgets show the day's snaps, and a capture button in Control Center is available too. Both open straight to the camera.
Place names. A snap can show where it was taken.
