Fengchao, always evolving.

v1.4.6 · Mobile: built-in version check · Korean completed

• New "About · Version" card: the version is fetched from the App Store only when you tap the button — it never checks on its own, and uploads nothing.
• More reliable reads of old records: fixed an edge case that could affect reading older entries.
• Korean UI completed: remaining untranslated strings across the five languages (简体中文 / 繁體中文 / English / 日本語 / 한국어) are filled in.

Desktop 1.4.6 is in review; once approved, both apps share one version number. As of today the live Desktop release is still 1.4.4.

v1.4.5 · Mobile release · one version number for both apps

• One version number for both apps: starting with this release, the phone app uses the same version numbers as the desktop app. The old 1.0.0 was the phone's own numbering, which made the two look out of sync. This version is 1.4.5.
• Korean support: switch the language to 한국어 in Settings and restart the app for the whole interface to follow. The phone app now ships in five languages: 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / English / 日本語 / 한국어.
• Save videos straight from your photo library: on both the Home and Save tabs. The note reads "original archived" — the original is kept intact and is not transcribed.
• Saved file names in the body: photos, videos, voice notes and documents now record their saved file name, so entries are easier to recognize inside Hive.
• Shared web pages keep their address: share a page in from another app and tapping through returns to the original page.
• Long documents deliver more reliably: the title is no longer replaced by the whole body, and the body arrives complete.
• Pairing-code validity now says 5 minutes: matching the actual setting on your computer (a pairing code is valid for 5 minutes and works once).
• Offline thoughts get a name: a thought made while offline now gets a recognizable name in the list (Thought · date time) instead of arriving nameless.
• Available in 17 territories: China mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, South Korea, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, India, South Africa and the Cayman Islands.

Desktop 1.4.5 follows; once it ships, both apps will carry exactly the same version number. The mobile app is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscription, no login.

v1.4.4 · A Verifiable Trail

• Verifiable trail: keep a verifiable receipt for your own data — local attestation, hash fingerprint and timestamp. Fengchao only helps you attest, prepare and export; you file the application yourself with the official system. Fengchao is not a registration body and does not file on your behalf.
• AI relay hub: several AIs working in one hive — duty roster, relay baton, full event trail at a glance; humans always hold the keys, everything auditable.
• MCP-native: any AI client that implements MCP plugs in and works; switching tools changes nothing you keep here.
• Emergent storage & recursive self-evolution: layered storage and co-occurrence shaping of ranking (off by default, one switch to revert); cognition distilled from your real memory daily, each round reading back the last.
• Collaboration hub, rebuilt as a stream: the three boards fold into one chronological timeline — reads top-down and opens at the newest; the gold line marks only what you personally approved; a tighter question box and a larger answer area.
• "✕" now means step aside, not delete: asking a member to step out is reversible at any time, and leaves identity and credentials untouched.
• Header renamed and tidied: "Memory" → "Knowledge Base", "Agent Tentacle" → "AI Connect (MCP)"; rarely used entries move into a "More ▾" menu at the top right.
• Private vault fails closed: without the key, the encrypted area says so plainly — no silent empty results, no plaintext overwrite.
• Narrow screens and type scale: the minimum on-screen type is raised to 11.5px; after the narrow-screen reflow, the primary action stays on the first screen.
• English brand unified as Memory Hive throughout the app.

v1.4.3 · Collaboration hub & attestation chain

• AI relay hub, redesigned: three boards at a glance — "✋ Waiting on you" (cards that need your decision), "Who's working" (the current shift), and "What happened" (the full event trail). A red badge on the header tells you something is waiting, even with the panel closed.
• "Agree / Not now" actually closes the card: previously it only flipped a status; now one tap settles it, and the card stops coming back.
• Verifiable trail — the chain is complete: local attestation now runs the whole way from "timestamp it" to attest · prepare · export — a five-screen wizard, per-screen safety anchors, and a sixth item in the material pack, the printable "Material Notes".
• Notification channel panel · egress binding panel: how notifications are sent and where they go is now configurable, visible and verifiable; blocked outbound requests can be allowed one by one.
• Availability expanded to 16 regions: Japan and the United Kingdom added, with Japanese App Store material (description, keywords, release notes).
• UI copy tightened: dead keys and literal escape marks that should never surface are gone; the Chinese and English copy are aligned.

v1.4.2 · A Verifiable Trail

• Verifiable trail: keep a verifiable receipt for your own data — local attestation, hash fingerprint and timestamp. Fengchao only helps you attest, prepare and export; you file the application yourself with the official system. Fengchao is not a registration body and does not file on your behalf.
• Scheduling fix: closing the window no longer strands the app — click the Dock icon and the window comes back.
• Hardened packaging: version-consistency assertions and residue checks in the build script.

v1.4.1 · Architecture

• AI relay hub: multiple AIs work together in one hive — a duty roster, a relay baton, and a full event trail. Humans always hold the keys; agents never command each other; everything is auditable.
• Cognitive evolution: Fengchao gets smarter from how it's used. Co-occurrence signals from collaboration and search distill into understanding, emergently shaping retrieval ranking — with a rollback switch back to plain keyword search.
• Model-layer re-distill + provenance: distill outputs carry provider / model / timestamp, so you can re-distill old memories with a new model, keeping the old version for rollback.
• Native universal2: Intel → universal2, running natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
• Subscriptions & licensing: StoreKit in-app purchase flow + tighter licensing + stronger privacy encryption.
• MCP onboarding: better discoverability, honest handshakes, self-healing errors, and a whoami self-check.

Earlier versions

Fengchao iterates continuously. Earlier releases delivered local-first storage, 0.6s semantic search over 1M entries, MCP-native access, an encrypted vault, and paved the way for both iOS and macOS.
