Curated changelog from v0.1.0 to v0.9.4-experimental.

Current v0.9.4-experimental
v0.9.4-experimental · Your Personal Repository, Supercharged
2026-02-23

Smart Collections, Study Sets, Quick Capture, folder sharing, code file previews, and a lot more — your personal space just became the most powerful part of Studytrix.

  • Smart Collections automatically groups your files by topic — open Personal Repository and find your notes already organised by subject, no manual sorting needed.
  • Study Sets let you bundle files from different folders into one focused list. Perfect for exam week when your material is spread across subjects.
  • Pin your most-used files to the top of Personal Repository so they're always one tap away, no matter which folder they actually live in.
  • Quick Capture is here — tap the floating button to snap a photo of handwritten notes, write a quick text note, or record a voice memo. Everything saves to your personal folder instantly.
  • Create new folders and upload files from your device directly inside Personal Repository. You're no longer limited to importing existing Drive folders.
  • Share any personal folder with a classmate using a single link. They tap it, Studytrix verifies it, and it drops straight into their Personal Repository.
  • Code files now open in a full in-app viewer with syntax highlighting — Python, C, C++, Java, MATLAB, VHDL, Jupyter notebooks, and more all supported.
  • Smart Search now suggests tags for your files automatically based on what they contain. Accept them with a tap and your search results get smarter over time.
  • Every folder now shows a health badge so you always know if your content is fresh, synced, offline-ready, or needs your attention.
v0.9.3-experimental · A Proper Welcome & a Smarter Command Center
2026-02-23

New users now get a polished onboarding experience, Smart Search understands your personal files too, and searching inside folders now feels far more intuitive.

  • First time opening Studytrix? You'll now be walked through a beautiful onboarding experience — swipe through each step, pick your theme with a live preview, and get greeted by name when you're done.
  • The theme picker now shows a real preview of the app — actual folder cards, file rows, and a search bar — so you know exactly what each theme looks like before you commit.
  • Smart Search now indexes your Personal Repository files alongside everything else. Search from Command Center and find your personal notes right alongside course content.
  • Search is now scope-aware — when you're inside a folder, the search bar searches that folder. When you're at the root, it searches everything. No configuration needed.
  • Searching inside Global Repository can now surface relevant results from your Personal Repository too, shown in a clearly separated section so they never get mixed up.
  • The Smart Search toggle has moved out of the search bar and into a persistent row below it — cleaner input, always visible, with a clear Experimental label so you know what you're turning on.
  • Model downloading and file indexing now happen quietly in the background — no blocking dialogs. A small progress indicator below the search bar keeps you informed without getting in the way.
v0.9.2-experimental · Introducing Personal Repository
2026-02-23

Your own space inside Studytrix. Add any Drive folder you have access to — your notes, peer-shared resources, anything you actually study from — and keep it separate from the institution content.

  • Personal Repository is a brand new second tab on the dashboard, right alongside the Global Repository. Swipe between them or tap to switch — your position is remembered when you reopen the app.
  • Add any Google Drive folder to your personal space by pasting a link. Studytrix verifies it, checks permissions, and walks you through a five-stage safety check before adding it.
  • Each personal folder can be customised with a name, colour, and pinned position so your most important folders always appear first.
  • Added folders are verified live — you'll see each check animate through in real time, from link format and access permissions all the way to a basic safety scan.
  • Personal Repository remembers your folders across app restarts and keeps them separate from institution content at all times.
  • Rename, refresh, or remove any personal folder at any time from the folder's overflow menu.
v0.9.1-experimental · Introducing Smart Search — On-Device AI, Completely Private
2026-02-23

Studytrix can now understand what you're looking for, not just match keywords. The AI model runs entirely on your device — your searches never leave your phone.

  • Smart Search uses a lightweight AI model that runs completely on your device. No data is sent to any server. Your search queries stay private, always.
  • Search by meaning, not just exact words — look for 'oscillation problems' and find files named 'Simple Harmonic Motion Unit 4' because the AI understands the connection.
  • The model downloads once (~34 MB) and is cached on your device. Every search after that is instant and works fully offline.
  • Your entire library is indexed in the background — files, folders, and deeply nested content across all departments and semesters.
  • Smart Search is clearly marked as Experimental. You can turn it on or off at any time from the toggle below the search bar or in Settings.
  • Settings now has a dedicated Intelligence section where you can check index status, rebuild the index, remove the model to free storage, and learn more about how it works.
v0.9.0-experimental · Offline V3 — Downloads Reimagined
2026-02-21

Downloading files for offline access is now faster, smarter, and more flexible than ever. Pause, resume, download in bulk, zip entire folders, and share directly — all without a connection.

  • Downloads now support pause and resume — lose your connection mid-download and pick up exactly where you left off when you're back online.
  • Select multiple files and download them all at once with the new bulk download action. Up to three files download simultaneously, with the rest queued automatically.
  • Zip and Download lets you pack an entire folder into a single archive and save it to your device in one tap.
  • Zip and Share sends a zipped folder directly via your device's share sheet — AirDrop, WhatsApp, email, whatever you prefer.
  • Copy Drive Link now copies a clean, shareable Google Drive link for any file or folder directly to your clipboard.
  • Large files (over 25 MB) now show a warning before downloading, and files over 100 MB require explicit confirmation — so you always know what you're about to save.
  • Downloads automatically retry up to three times if your connection drops, with smarter error messages that tell you exactly what went wrong.
  • A storage warning now appears when your device is running low on space, and downloads pause automatically at 95% capacity to prevent data loss.
v0.8.3 · Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements
2026-02-21

A focused round of fixes and polish across offline access, mobile navigation, file actions, and app discoverability.

  • Fixed an issue where offline-saved files would sometimes fail to open after the app was reinstalled or the browser cache was cleared.
  • Improved the reliability of the floating action dock on mobile — it no longer clips off the edge of the screen on smaller devices.
  • Fixed a bug where copying a Drive link would produce an incorrect URL for some file types.
  • Breadcrumb navigation now automatically scrolls to show the current folder when you navigate deep into a structure.
  • Studytrix is now easier to find and install — improved app icons, better install prompts, and updated metadata across all pages.
  • General performance improvements and stability fixes across file browsing, offline management, and settings.
v0.8.2 · Good Morning — Greetings That Actually Mean Something
2026-02-21

The dashboard header now greets you based on the time of day, your name, and even the weather outside.

  • The dashboard now greets you with a time-aware message — something different for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between.
  • Enabled weather integration pulls live conditions for your location and weaves them into your greeting — a rainy afternoon gets a different message than a clear morning.
  • Greetings can use your name for a more personal touch, or stay generic if you prefer.
  • Choose between Motivational and Minimal greeting styles in Settings to match your mood.
  • All greeting preferences — including weather, name, and style — are configurable under Settings → Appearance → Greeting.
v0.8.1 · Sharing That Actually Works
2026-02-21

Zipping and sharing files and folders is now faster, more reliable, and keeps you informed every step of the way.

  • Sharing multiple folders at once no longer fails silently — the app now properly prepares all selected content before kicking off the share.
  • Zip progress is now shown in a clear dialog instead of a toast that disappears too quickly. You can see exactly what's being packed and how far along it is.
  • If some files can't be included in a zip, you'll now see exactly which ones were skipped and why — no more mystery missing files.
  • Tapping Share now opens the progress UI immediately, so it feels responsive even before the download has started.
  • Added a Features overview and Keyboard Shortcuts page — find them in Settings if you ever want a quick reminder of what Studytrix can do.
  • General sharing and storage stability improvements on mobile and PWA.
v0.8.0 · Deeper Search, Better Offline
2026-02-20

The Command Center now finds files buried deep inside nested folders, and offline access covers more of your library than ever before.

  • Command Center search now reaches into deeply nested folders — files inside subfolders inside subfolders are all indexed and searchable.
  • Switching search scope is cleaner and faster, with clearer shortcuts and smarter suggestions based on where you are in the app.
  • Offline coverage indicators now accurately reflect which nested folders are fully saved, partially saved, or not yet available offline.
  • The Offline Library is more reliable when syncing changes and diagnosing what's available without a connection.
  • Smoother interactions across Command Center and storage flows on mobile.
v0.7.0 · Save Files Where You Want Them
2026-02-16

You can now choose exactly where Studytrix saves offline files on your device — and move them later if you change your mind.

  • Pick any folder on your device as the home for your offline files. Studytrix will save everything there, organised and accessible even outside the app.
  • Changed your mind about where to save? Migrate your offline library to a new location without losing anything.
  • If folder permissions are ever revoked — say, after a device restart — Studytrix detects this and walks you through relinking your storage folder in seconds.
  • Browsers that don't support folder-based storage fall back gracefully so offline features still work everywhere.
  • Storage location controls are available in Settings → Storage, alongside a dashboard showing how much space your offline library is using.
v0.6.0 · Make It Yours — Themes & Settings
2026-02-12

A much more complete settings experience and expanded theme options so Studytrix looks and works exactly how you want it to.

  • Settings are now organised into clear categories — no more scrolling past unrelated options to find what you need.
  • Expanded theme selection with more visual styles to choose from, covering both light and dark preferences.
  • Every setting now has clearer labels and descriptions so you always know what you're changing.
  • Settings pages are more consistent across the app — the same interaction patterns everywhere, no surprises.
  • Navigating between settings sections is faster and more discoverable.
v0.5.0 · Offline, For Real This Time
2026-02-08

The foundation that makes Studytrix work without a connection — reliable, predictable, and built to handle the messiness of real mobile networks.

  • Studytrix now uses a Service Worker to manage offline access properly — files you've saved are served from your device, not the network.
  • Content is cached intelligently so the right files are available offline without wasting storage on things you haven't touched.
  • Opening a file you've saved offline now works reliably, even if you haven't launched the app in a while.
  • Connectivity changes — going from WiFi to mobile data to no signal — no longer interrupt or corrupt ongoing operations.
  • Spotty connections are handled more gracefully across the board, with smarter retry behaviour when the network comes and goes.
v0.4.0 · Tags & Multi-Select
2026-02-04

Organise your files with tags, act on multiple items at once, and get more done with fewer taps.

  • Tags are now a first-class feature — create tags, apply them to files and folders, and filter your library by tag from anywhere in the app.
  • Select multiple files and folders at once and apply tags, download, or take other actions on all of them in one go.
  • File and folder action menus have been expanded with more options and better organisation, so common actions are always within reach.
  • Actions work consistently whether you're in grid view or list view — no missing options depending on how you're browsing.
  • Download and file management actions are more reliable and surface better feedback when something completes or fails.
v0.3.0 · Downloads & Command Center
2026-01-31

A proper download manager and a more capable Command Center — two of the most important parts of the app, now much more useful.

  • Downloads now have a dedicated manager where you can see what's downloading, what's finished, and what failed — all in one place.
  • Command Center results are more relevant and easier to act on, with better organisation between files, folders, and actions.
  • Downloading a file now tracks through clearly defined states — queued, downloading, complete, failed — with no ambiguity about what's happening.
  • Frequently accessed files are easier to mark and access offline directly from the app.
  • Storage tools have been expanded so you have more visibility into what's saved on your device.
v0.2.0 · The App Takes Shape
2026-01-24

The visual and interactive foundation of Studytrix — the components, patterns, and design language that every feature is built on.

  • Established the core design system — buttons, menus, forms, dialogs, and feedback states are all consistent and reusable across the app.
  • The visual experience is now consistent end-to-end, with the same look and feel whether you're browsing files, managing settings, or using Command Center.
  • Accessibility improvements across interactive components — better focus states, touch targets, and screen reader support.
  • Internal component architecture cleaned up significantly, which means faster development and fewer inconsistencies going forward.
v0.1.0 · Studytrix Is Here
2026-01-18

The very first version. Browse your institution's study materials, open files, and get a feel for what Studytrix is becoming.

  • Browse your institution's Global Repository — departments, semesters, subjects, and files, all in one place.
  • Open and preview files directly in the app without leaving to another viewer.
  • Studytrix is a Progressive Web App — install it on your home screen on any device and use it like a native app.
  • The foundation is set. Everything from here is built on top of this — offline access, Smart Search, Personal Repository, and everything still to come.
