🎴Adding multi-select previews and better multi-actions in the next beta build (macOS and iPad)

💻 An early beta of Benkyo Box for macOS (1.5.0) is available for beta testing - lots of kinks to iron out but it’s starting to take shape! Feel free to download it in TestFlight:
testflight.apple.com/join/jZXFDA46

It’s more solid in macOS 26, less so in 15, but we’ll get there.

Our developer took a short vacation, took notes in the #ComputerHistoryMuseum, then realized we didn't have an obvious feature: a notification badge with the number of remaining studies. Notification badges available in the upcoming 1.4.5 release (in review) 🔔

Some of you import #flashcards from CSVs that have more than 1 column that is relevant to the question/answer, for example: The hiragana in one column, definition in the other. Next update will allow you to select more than 1 column (see the video to see how it works). #BenkyoBox

🐞New bug fix release is out (1.3.1): Improves performance of creating and resizing annotation #flashcards. It also fixes a bug that prevented them from being resized. Annotations now also move to the top when selected.

These are improvements for the upcoming macOS app that the iOS version received.

🔊 The next version will be packed with audio to make everything feel more alive. The sounds come in subtle but satisfying themes that you can choose from. Also: custom notification sounds 🔔 (do turn up the volume a bit in this recording to hear it). #benkyobox #apps #flashcards

Some of you like the flashcard score control going from left to right, others like it right to left. I like left to right, but I'll let you pick your favorite in the next release 😊

Mac development update: I finally can run on Mac (not as a "designed for iPad / Catalyst" app). A lot will have to be rewritten natively for Mac, but it'll be worth it in the end. #BenkyoBox

1.2.2 is available now with new languages, optimized app size, and shorter study sessions by default, so that you can finish your sessions more quickly.

Afterwards, our focus is finishing the Mac app, and other polishing releases while that bakes.
