Changelog

Last updated on Oct 13, 2026

Version 1.05 | Oct 13, 2026

Adding products is faster than ever:

  • Scan to add: tap + and point your camera at a product. BeautyMark reads the label and finds the product, with its photo, from tens of thousands of beauty products, now including lots of Korean and Japanese brands. If it isn't on the list, BeautyMark fills in what it read for you to check. How to scan a product
  • Better at tricky labels: scanning reads small and busy labels much better, and recognizes products you already own.
  • Apple Intelligence: on iPhones with Apple Intelligence and iOS 27, BeautyMark also looks at the photo itself to recognize products whose labels are hard to read. This happens entirely on your iPhone.
  • Find your product: name suggestions now cover many more products, and a new search makes it easy to find yours by brand and name. How to find a product
  • Share to BeautyMark: sharing a product page fills in the brand, name, shade and photo correctly from more places. How to add from a store
  • Help others find it: when you add a product we don't know yet, you can share it with BeautyMark so others can find it too. Only the brand, name, shade, category and store link are shared, never your photos or notes. You can turn this off in Settings.

Fixes and improvements:

  • iCloud sync: fixed an issue in 1.04 where products with photos could stop syncing to iCloud
  • Backups: restoring a backup works again, large backups open quickly, and products with commas in their names are no longer left out
  • Product names that contain the brand, like Tarte Tartelette, are no longer shortened when you add or edit a product
  • Tall product photos are now shown whole when adding or editing a product
  • Faster launch, and smoother scrolling with large collections
  • Lots of small design touch-ups for iOS 26 and later

Version 1.04 | Oct 8, 2026

A fresh coat of paint for iOS 26, and a few things you asked for:

  • Liquid Glass: BeautyMark now has the new iOS 26 look, with a glassy tab bar, the + button right next to it, cleaner icon buttons and polished sheets. Still on iOS 17 or 18? Everything looks just like before.
  • Emoji for your collections: tapping a collection's icon now opens a real emoji picker, with search ("lip" finds ๐Ÿ’„), categories, your recently used emoji, and skin tones (long-press). No more hunting for the emoji keyboard!
  • Your photos stay yours: choosing a suggested product name no longer swaps out a photo you picked yourself.
  • More categories: cream, powder, liquid and cushion foundations, finishing powder, liquid highlighter, powder and liquid contour, liquid blush, cream and liquid bronzers, and cleansing oil.

Smaller fixes:

  • "Send debug report" now lives on its own screen in Settings, so you can't send one by accident
  • The Local backups explanation in Settings no longer gets cut off
  • Better VoiceOver support: products in the grid now read their names

Version 1.03 | Mar 5, 2025

Bug fixes:

  • Thumbnails are no longer broken when sharing products/collections
  • Centered the lifetime informational text
  • Some asynchronous images caused a random crash when saving products, and now they (hopefully) don't.

Version 1.02 | Feb 21, 2025

  • Updated link to the AppStore in Settings

Version 1.01 | Feb 4, 2024

  • Major performance improvements (loading images is hard!)
  • Fix: confirmation dialogs were hiding on iPads (thanks Frances!)
  • Fix: the collection list item is now more clickable
  • Fix: product opening date not defaulting to "right now"

Version 1.0 | Dec 17, 2024

Out of beta and officially into the AppStore! Thanks to everyone who's been with us during these Beta days! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŽ‰

New features for Pro users (which remember: you should be since you don't actually get charged while in Beta!

  • Personalized Views: Customize your product screens by hiding fields you don't use or find irrelevant
  • Expiration tracking: Track both printed expiration dates and post-opening shelf lives for your beauty products. We try to distinguish between these two types to help you maintain product safety
  • With all these new fields, we tried to simplify the "Add Product" screen a bit. Did it work?
  • Automatic background removal: Product images now feature automatic background removal, making it easier to maintain a clean, consistent look. Especially helpful for images captured from the web.

Bug fixes:

  • Local backup files are now accessible through the Files app, allowing you to copy them to a secure (better) location that persists after app deletion.
  • Fixed an issue where the brand/product autocomplete wasn't working correctly for existing products
  • Resolved name deduplication issues affecting specific brands (such as Sephora Collection)
  • Added ability to remove ratings (thanks Brenna!)

V2.1 (171) | Dec 4, 2024

  • New feature: preview cards! Individual products now have a "Share" button in their action menu. It generates a colorful card you can share with friends. You know, for when you're asked "What are your favorite sunscreens again?"
  • An "add product" button has appeared directly in the grid
  • Bug fix: less mystery around why you can't save a product (thanks Maeghan!)
  • Bug fix: slightly less mystery (but never zero) as to why iCloud sync might be on the fritz (thanks Brenna!)
  • Bug fix: you can swipe successfully out of the tutorial flow. For real this time (also thanks Brenna!)
  • Team updates: Monica bought a Burt's Bees BB Cream ("it makes me break out") and Brittany is in Japan accumulating future updates.

V2.1 (159) | Nov 12, 2024

  • Product categories are now slightly less case-sensitive
  • Updated the Collections page for non-pro users to make it clearer the data is hiding, not gone
  • Updated the links in Settings to point to our brand new website
  • Minor bug fixed based on user feedback!

V2.1 (154) | Nov 10, 2024

  • Welcome to the BeautyMark Beta!!
  • We've added a paywall, but don't fret: in-app purchases while in Beta use the special TestFlight sandbox environment, so they're free to testers. You can double check that before you press the final Apple purchase button -- there should be a message that tells you no charge will actually be applied.
