Added
- Share cards. Turn a quote, a book you’re reading or have finished, or a whole shelf into an image to share, in six colour themes and two shapes.
- Custom books. Add a book by hand when search can’t find it, with a cover from your photos, and use it everywhere any other book goes.
- Backup and restore. Export your books, shelves, sessions, quotes and reflections to a single file, and bring them back by merging or replacing.
- Book aliases. Give a book with a long or unwanted title a shorter name, shown throughout the app with a small pencil mark.
- Everything you’re reading, on Home. The Home screen now shows every book in progress, in a row you can scroll.
- Your year in reading. The Home summary can now be filtered by year, with the covers of the books you finished.
- Share a book. Send a link to any book, and for other Kiveo readers it opens straight in the app.
- iPad. Kiveo now adapts its layout to iPad, with the tab bar along the top.
Changed
- Logging a past session. Enter the pages you read rather than the page you reached, use percent for audiobooks, or log the time alone.
- Dates you can correct. A book’s added, started and finished dates can now be edited from its detail screen.
- A new status picker. Your Library, shelves and book pickers share one pill-shaped status filter, and your choice is remembered.
- Hide Did Not Finish. A Library toggle takes the DNF option out of every status picker, if you’d rather not see it.
- Links open in Kiveo. Web links now open inside the app instead of sending you off to Safari.
- Liquid Glass on iOS 26. Toolbars and the tab bar take on the new look, and the tab bar tucks away as you scroll.
- Clearer stats. Each stat card on Home now carries a short line saying what it counts.
- A quicker Home. The Home screen loads and draws faster.
Fixed
- Logging a past session can no longer add more pages than a book has left.
- Logging more sessions no longer overwrites a book’s finished date.
- The Live Activity no longer gets stuck on the Lock Screen after a session ends or the app closes unexpectedly.
- Recovered sessions keep their original start time, so their logs show the right times.
- Session counts and reading time are no longer inflated across the app.
- A session’s log now appears in order, newest first.
- Percentage progress now shows correctly on books and progress bars.
- Quotes and reflections no longer fail to save in some situations.
- Live sessions no longer risk freezing.
- A single Continue Reading card now fills the width on iPhone, and its covers stay cached.
- Settings and About use the right accent colour again.
- Your Library layout is remembered between launches.
