Improved

The Threshold Key has turned

Reader

The first Reader’s Arcana card now reveals its own hand-drawn golden book-key artwork in the Album and card ceremony.

ARChie welcomes you after dark

New and untouched theme settings now open in ARChie Night on the website and inside the app. Any theme or Day appearance you already chose stays exactly as you left it.

A welcome email when your Author profile is verified

Author

When a moderator verifies your Author profile, ARC Library now emails the address on your account with a direct link to Author HQ. Your in-app confirmation remains available too.

Issue reports bring the details support needs

Issue reports now include the app version, device context, and a short sanitized console history automatically. Feature requests remain free of technical diagnostics.

Fixed

Team books find their way home

Reader

Tracked Team Desks now use verified connections and safe familiar name formatting. If metadata is missing, connect an older team or link Library books manually without changing or deleting the book.

Phone notifications reconnect reliably

iOS, Android

ARC Library now refreshes each phone's delivery connection when it changes and shows how to reconnect a device in Settings.

The web app always loads the current version

Web

Browser visits now load ARC Library directly from the live deployment instead of keeping an offline app copy that can become outdated. Android and iOS keep their offline library support.

Reading intentions stay switched on

Reading intentions now remain exactly as you set them after saving, refreshing, or changing devices. Existing choices affected by the earlier saving problem recover automatically.

Closed ARChie notes stay closed

Closing an ARChie note now remembers your choice after refresh and across devices. Preferences affected by the earlier saving problem recover automatically.

Form sharing uses the right link

Author and PA

Copy and Share now use the public ARC Library request form link on every device, so readers can open it outside the app.

What’s New stays out of notifications

The release archive remains available in Settings and Help, while old What’s New cards no longer sit above your real notifications.

Picture import is faster and checks more sources

Picture import now starts reliably in web browsers, runs a quick on-device scan first, and checks ARC Library, Kobo, Amazon, Google Books, and ISBNdb. Difficult covers can use a deeper scan. Your picture stays on your device.

Global search opens reliably

An older saved search preference can no longer prevent ARC Library from opening. Your library and search remain available.

Smoother typing across ARC Library

Web

Theme scenery now rests while you type, and Library filter searches save after a short pause, keeping fields responsive.

Custom filters stay selected

Custom Collection filters now remain active after you choose them, even while saved settings or a Library deep link are synchronizing.

Settings stay put across devices

Hidden navigation choices and catalogue-badge preferences no longer overwrite each other when you use ARC Library on more than one device.
