SimpleumSafe 3.5 iOS - Release Notes

09-16-2024

For the latest version of SimpleumSafe, we are pleased to announce significant improvements and helpful new features aimed at making your experience with our app even safer, more efficient and easier to use. Below is a detailed overview of recent updates:

What’s new in SimpleumSafe for iOS

• New app icons: We’ve updated the look of SimpleumSafe and now offer you the choice between new dark and colored icons.
• Improved password security: To protect your data even better, we’ve further strengthened the security mechanisms when opening the safe. By increasing it to 1,000,000 PBKDF2 rounds, cracking your password is made much more difficult, even if it means that opening the safe now takes a little longer.
• Advanced preview features: We’ve improved the preview experience. You can now easily navigate between images and documents in the preview view by swiping. A simple tap is enough to expand the view to full screen mode and get an even better view of your content.

• Increased security through keyboard lock: To minimize the risk of attacks from insecure third-party soft keyboards, we have disabled the use of such keyboards in SimpleumSafe. This protects your input and ensures that your data always remains safe.

• More user-friendly navigation: We have revised the navigation structure of the app to make it even more intuitive to use. The “Start” screen has been renamed “Home”, while “Home” is now called “Files”. These changes are intended to make it easier to find your way around the app.

• Individual folder view: In the settings you can now choose whether you want to view all folders first and then the files. This function offers you a more flexible and tidy view of your stored data.

• Markdown support: You can now not only view Markdown files, but also edit them directly in SimpleumSafe. This is particularly useful for anyone who saves notes or documentation in Markdown.

  

• Display of image metadata: In the preview view, detailed image metadata such as the exposure time is now displayed directly. This gives you important information about your photos at a glance.

  

• New import dialog: Importing images and videos from the Photos app has been completely redesigned and simplified. This new dialog makes adding media even more user-friendly and faster.

  

• Various bug fixes and optimizations: As always, we have also worked on the finer details and fixed numerous small bugs and made optimizations to further improve the overall performance and stability of the app.

Improvements in iCloud performance

• Accelerated iCloud Transfers
  We’ve made significant optimizations that increase transfer speeds to and from iCloud by a factor of 5 to 50. This means you save significant time when synchronizing your data, making your work with SimpleumSafe even smoother and more efficient.

• Delete all data from iCloud

• Faster integrity check
  The iCloud sync verification option has been improved by speeding up the integrity check. This contributes to faster verification.

• More efficient deletion of Safes
  Removing a Safe from iCloud (when deleting a Safe) is now faster, making it easier to manage your Safes and saving time.

Implemented customer requests

• Improved access to the image viewer
  Long-pressing on a folder now opens the image viewer in the context menu, which displays all images within that folder. This allows for faster, more intuitive viewing of your photos without having to select through individual files.

• Import videos from the media library
  In addition to images, you can now also import videos directly from your media library into SimpleumSafe. This expands the possibilities of safely storing your precious memories and important recordings.

• Automatic deletion after import
  After importing images from the media library, SimpleumSafe now offers the option to automatically delete these images from the media library. This feature helps you free up space on your device and ensure sensitive content is only stored in your safe.

• Record high quality videos
  When you record videos directly from the app, SimpleumSafe now automatically uses the highest possible quality. This ensures that your recordings are saved in the best possible resolution.

• Automatic conversion of HEIC images
  When importing HEIC images from the media library, you now have the option to automatically import them as JPG. This feature provides file format flexibility and facilitates compatibility with other platforms and applications.

• Sorting by creation date
  You can now also sort your files by their creation date, helping you organize your files even faster and more intuitively.

These improvements are part of our commitment to continually improve SimpleumSafe and respond to the needs of our users. We hope you find these new features useful and look forward to your feedback to continue making SimpleumSafe your safe and easy-to-use digital safe.

SimpleumSafe 3.3 Mac - Release Notes

10-30-2023

New: Optional 2-factor authentication (2FA)

1. Double Layer Security: Increase security even further with an additional layer. After the password or biometric verification, 2FA intervenes as a second line of defense and requires a unique six-digit code. It is a double check to ensure your safe remains protected.

2. Advanced Security: The biggest advantage of the 2FA feature is its ability to provide an additional layer of security, making unauthorized access extremely difficult. It’s not just about what you know (your password), but also what you have (your second factor).

3. Dynamic Protection: The One Time Password (OTP) is not static; It is a moving target that changes every 30 seconds. This dynamic thwarts any malicious attempt to crack your Safe.

4. User-Friendly: The six-digit OTP is simple and effective, offering the perfect balance between ease of use and security. And since the OTP changes every 30 seconds, the risks of static passwords are eliminated.

5. Compliance and Best Practices: Implementing 2FA aligns with global cybersecurity best practices and can help meet compliance requirements, which is critical for professionals and businesses.

6. Affordable Security: Since no additional hardware is required, this feature is an affordable security upgrade. Your smartphone is your second factor, there are no additional costs.

7. Ensuring your security for the future: As cyber threats evolve, so should your security measures. The 2FA feature is a step towards securing your digital safe against emerging threats.

Enable 2-factor authentication (2FA).

• In security settings, check the option to enable 2-factor authentication.

• QR code generation:

  When 2FA is activated, a QR code is generated. This QR code is your gateway to establishing a 2FA connection.

• Alternative setup via 2FA key:

  If you prefer a manual setup or scanning the QR code is not possible, a 2FA key will also be generated alongside the QR code. Simply enter this key manually into your OTP generator app to configure OTP generation.

Set up and use two-factor authentication

New: Lock safe

Introducing an extension to SimpleumSafe - now the Safe Lock feature is further developed to support ongoing long-term operations even when your screen is locked! However, with this new feature, your Safe will stay open even when the screen is locked, making it extremely handy for tasks like data import or syncing that run over a long period of time.

Here are some notable benefits of this new feature:

• Continuous Operation: Your data operations no longer need to be interrupted. Whether you’re importing large amounts of data or syncing files, these tasks continue seamlessly even when your screen is locked.
• Increased Security: By keeping the Safe open but the screen locked, SimpleumSafe ensures your data remains protected while remaining accessible for ongoing tasks. It’s a mix of accessibility and security!
• User-Friendly: This update adds a layer of usability. You can initiate tedious processes and move on to other tasks without hesitation.
