New Features - Blind Peers — always-on backup & sync for your shared groups. Pair an always-on "blind peer" to a group and it keeps everyone in sync and backed up around the clock — even when every member's phone is offline — and it can never read your events. Scan a QR to admit one, name each peer, watch its status live, and remove it anytime. - Encrypted groups. Group data is now encrypted per group, so blind peers (and any helper along the way) only store scrambled data they can't decrypt. Existing groups get a one-time heads-up when encryption turns on. Improvements - More reliable sync when two devices share a Wi-Fi network. - Blind peers can be renamed inline, and names show up across your devices. Bug Fixes - iOS: fixed a launch crash. - App no longer gets stuck at startup if one group fails to open. - A group's sync helper no longer lingers after the group is deleted. Security & Privacy - Deleting a group, leaving a group, and transferring ownership are now verified against the real owner — a removed/malicious member can't delete or hijack a group. - Group data is encrypted end-to-end across sync helpers.

Bug Fixes - Moving an event from one group to another no longer deletes it. Before this fix the event vanished from everyone else's calendar and could not be brought back. - Groups that had quietly stopped syncing now repair themselves the next time you open the app. - Deleted groups no longer linger in your group list, and empty blank rows are gone. - Joining a group now tells you when something went wrong. It used to sit on a blank "Inviter" card with no explanation, whether you had been turned away or simply could not reach anyone. Security & Privacy - Fixed a problem where a group could lose the key that keeps its contents private. When that happened the group stopped syncing, and invites shared from that device left the key out, so new members could not join properly. Affected devices repair themselves automatically. Improvements - The invite QR code now slides up as a sheet you can swipe away, matching the rest of the app.

## What's Changed ## New Features **Connects on networks that used to block it.** Some mobile networks stop phones from reaching each other directly, and on those networks PearCal simply never connected. Now, after a direct connection has already failed, your devices fall back to a relay run by PeerLoom - a machine that passes the scrambled data along without being able to read any of it. You're in control of this. Profile -> Advanced -> Connection has a switch, "Use a relay when direct fails", on by default. Turn it off and your devices only ever talk to each other directly, at the cost of not connecting at all on a network that blocks them. To be plain about what the relay sees: nothing readable. Your calendar is encrypted the whole way and the relay holds no key. It can tell that two devices are talking and roughly how much, which is true of any relay, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise. It stores nothing and it's only ever used as a last resort. ## Bug Fixes **Moving an event between groups no longer makes it disappear.** If you moved an event from one group to another, it vanished from the calendar of the phone you made the change on. Nothing was ever actually lost, and it came back when you reopened the app, but it looked like your event was gone. Fixed. **One notification per change, not three.** A single new event could burst of changes into one summary wasn't working while the app was in the background, which is exactly when you'd get a flood of them. A busy sync now arrives as a single "Calendar updated" line that updates in place. **Rejoining a group that stopped syncing.** In rare cases a device could lose the key to a shared group. It would quietly stop receiving events, and any invite it created would be broken for whoever accepted it. PearCal now spots this, tells you, and fixes itself when someone sends you a fresh invite link.

## New Features -Reset app data. You can now clear PearCal from inside the app, under Profile then Settings. There are two options: clear your calendar and groups but stay signed in as yourself, or start over completely as a brand new user. Previously the only way to do this was to delete the app and reinstall it, which on iPhone meant losing everything with no way back. -See more in the widget. The home screen widget now shows more of your upcoming events instead of stopping at five, and fits as many as the widget size allows. -Know why a join failed. If joining a group does not work, the app now tells you what went wrong instead of quietly doing nothing. ## Privacy -Your recovery phrase is no longer stored in iCloud. Older versions quietly saved it to Apple's or Google's cloud, with no way to see or switch that off. It now stays on your device only, and this update automatically deletes any copy that was already uploaded. ## Improvements -Clearer blind peer pairing. Pairing now shows progress on both the app and the seeder dashboard, with a countdown, and gets out of your way once it succeeds. -Accurate blind peer details. The blind peer list showed how many groups it was seeding at the moment you paired it, which could be badly out of date. It now shows the real number. ## Bug Fixes -Moving an event to another date made it disappear. The event vanished from your calendar until you restarted the app, and on a paired second device it could be lost for good. Fixed on phone and desktop. -Multi-day events dropped out of the widget. An event spanning several days showed on its first day and then disappeared, even while it was still running. -Groups could lose the key that keeps them private, which left you stuck behind a "can't sync" message. Existing affected groups repair themselves, and the desktop app can now repair them too. -Re-sharing an event did not bring it back for anyone else in the group. -Invite links were unreliable. Sometimes tapping one did not open the join screen at all, and older links could leave the app stuck on a blank screen until you force-closed it.
