by Ken

eWallet® 8.15 for iPhone & iPad is here, and it adds full support for Apple’s new iPhone Duo.

iPhone Duo

By now you’ve probably read about the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Folded, it gives you an outer screen like a regular iPhone; open, it gives you a large, iPad-like inner screen. Maybe you’ve even picked one up already.

eWallet has long supported both iPhone and iPad in a single universal app, but the Duo is a bit of both: sometimes its screen is shaped like an iPhone’s, and sometimes more like an iPad’s. eWallet now adapts to whichever shape you’re using:

  • Buttons and icons move to where they make the most sense for the current screen.
  • When space is tight, less-used commands move into the overflow menu (the three dots).
  • With the inner screen partly open, each side shows something useful.
  • With the inner screen fully open, eWallet makes good use of all that extra room.

And Dark Mode too!

Other changes

On the iPad, the lock screen now shows icons instead of text labels. The icons take up less space, so the lock screen looks better when you resize eWallet’s window.

And of course, everything else you count on is still included: the built-in password generator, the optional Emergency Password Reset card, Face ID or Touch ID, syncing with eWallet on your other devices, and much more.

eWallet 8.14 for macOS update now available

by Ken

eWallet for macOS banner

The new eWallet® 8.14 release for macOS adds additional support for macOS Tahoe 26.

macOS Tahoe 26

The significant visual change in this release is the additional support for Apple’s macOS Tahoe 26. A transparent menubar, liquid glass controls, updated toolbars, and other elements are all designed by Apple to draw more focus on your content. And eWallet’s app icon has been updated as well, so if you’ve select Dark, Clear, or Tinted for the Icon & widget style, eWallet’s icon will adapt to the look you’ve chosen.

Other changes

Google’s Chrome browser made a change in version 142.0 that affected some browser extensions, including AutoPass for some users. If you’re using AutoPass with Chrome (this is not an issue with Safari), and you get stuck on the Redirecting page, AutoPass will now guide you to a simple and easy resolution.

And of course all the other features including a built-in password generator, an optional Emergency Password Reset card, Touch ID and syncing to eWallet on other platforms, just to name a few, are all included.

eWallet 8.14 for iPhone & iPad

eWallet banner for iPhone and iPad

The new eWallet® 8.14 release for iPhone & iPad adds additional support for iOS and iPadOS 26.

iOS / iPadOS 26

The major changes in this release add additional support for version 26 of Apple’s iOS and iPadOS. This means the controls in eWallet get the new glass effects on both iPhone and iPad. In addition, the iPad version has been updated to support flexible window sizes as well as menus. And last but not least, the application icon has been updated per Apple’s guidelines for a better appearance, especially on the new OS versions.

Other changes

Several other things were enhanced or fixed in this release as well. The Use Large Font setting now applies to edit mode as well, so editing cards should be a bit easier on the eyes if you use that feature. We also fixed an issue some users reported with recent versions of iOS and iPadOS when using a Japanese or Chinese keyboard. Several other more minor miscellaneous changes were made as well to round out the release.

Apple, Privacy, and What's my phone's name?!

by Ken

Apple has a strong focus on privacy and we believe that’s a good thing. For example, all third-party apps need to ask for permission to access your personal information such as location, contacts, calendars, and photos. An app using the microphone or camera requires your permission as well. And iOS 16 debuts a new feature called Safety Check that allows you to quickly stop sharing your private information if your personal safety is at risk.

We believe in privacy too, especially in our eWallet app where the whole point is keeping your information private. Sometimes though, privacy can (at least temporarily) make things more difficult…

Before iOS 16, apps could get the name of the device by asking it (using an API), “hey, what’s your name?” Pre iOS 16, the actual name of the device would come back, something like “Mary’s Awesome iPhone”. When iOS 16 was released, a new privacy feature in iOS kicked in, and instead of getting back “Mary’s Awesome iPhone”, iOS just returns “iPhone” regardless of the actual name. Normally that might not be a big deal, but for our customer families using local Wi-Fi sync with multiple iPhones (rather than cloud sync), they couldn’t tell from their Mac or PC which phone they were connecting with — every phone reported itself as “iPhone”.

The story has a happy ending though. Although Apple has a strong policy, we were happy to see that they had an exception process for certain situations, including eWallet’s. We applied for the special permission to get be able to get the real phone name and were approved, so now when eWallet asks iOS what the iPhone (or iPad) name is, it get’s back the real name on iOS/iPadOS 16 (and newer) as well.

If you’ve run into this problem, just check to make sure you’re using the latest version of eWallet for iPhone & iPad, 8.7.1. The update is free for all users who already have purchased eWallet 8 for iPhone & iPad.

eWallet 8.7.1 for iPhone & iPad runs on iOS 11 and greater, including iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. The latest version is available via the on-device App Store. Get all the info about eWallet for iPhone & iPad here on our site.

ListPro for iPhone update now available

by Ken

The latest ListPro® update, with support for iOS 15.5, is now available on iPhone.

Quick note

Just a quick note to let you know about the changes in the latest version of ListPro. Many of them were behind-the scenes infrastructure type changes, but there are some clearly visible updates as well. The biggest noticeable area is better support for iOS 15 (including 15.5). As one example, buttons in toolbars should be much easier to see with this update. We made some improvements to landscape as well, taking advantage of the additional screen width.

Finally, ListPro now remembers where you were scrolled in a list when the app starts. This is really handy if you’re in the middle of a long list and come back to ListPro later — you’ll be right where you left off.

eWallet updates featuring thousands of card icons now available

by Ken

The latest eWallet® updates, with support for thousands of card icons are now available on Android, iPhone and iPad, Mac, and Windows PC (see below for platform details).

We want more card icons!

eWallet users have told us they really like to customize the look of their cards, and one way to easily do that is with the icon that can be displayed in the card’s corner. This same icon shows up in your list of cards and categories too, making spotting your card quick work. eWallet has more nearly 50 built-in icons to choose from but sometimes that’s simply not enough. Then we thought, what about using Emoji as icons? There are thousands of them on almost every platform; many more in addition to the smileys we usually think of. People, Animals, Food, Travel, Activities/Sports and so many more. There are over 3,000 emoji you can choose from to customize your cards. You can even search to find the emoji that best fits your particular card and eWallet will size it and place it, just like the built-in icons.

Small, fast, lean

One of the really nice advantages of using Emoji as card icons is that they are already on your device or computer, so your wallet doesn’t get large with tons of extra graphics and the eWallet app stays lean and mean too. For even further customization, change the card and text color, or add a full-card background graphic (Unsplash has some really nice images).

So what else do the releases have? Well each release also got a platform-specific list of enhancements and fixes to better support the latest versions of their host OS and respond to some popular requests. For example, eWallet for Android has additional support for Android OS 12, new export options and an update to the Wallet Info panel, to name just a few.
