Changelog

Site update — August 14, 2026 · Headlines in one color

Website only; no change to the app.

• The headline no longer fades from one color into another across the letters. A gradient poured through text is the house style of every generated landing page on the web, and it was on the hero here, on the small uppercase label above each section, and on the license label in the purchase panel. The words are one solid color now — the accent this page already used everywhere else — so the headline finally matches the page under it.
• Gradients are kept where they belong — the buttons, the app tile and the rule above the support panel are untouched. It is only text that stopped fading.
• No change to the app.

Site update — August 13, 2026 · The logo, matched to the app

• The Copyr tile beside the name now matches the icon in your Dock — the same deep indigo running into the same blue, in the same direction. It had been a flatter, lighter pair that was close enough to pass and never actually matched.
• The arrow drawn on that tile was a third blue again. It is the icon's now, on the page and in the small icon your browser shows in its tab.
• The preview image shown when a link to this page is shared uses those same colors.
• No change to the app.

Site update — August 12, 2026 · Readable buttons and small print

• The buttons in the header say what they say. The Tip and Download pills were drawing their label at 55% opacity over a colored fill, which measured as low as 1.6:1 against it — well under the 4.5:1 the accessibility guidelines ask for. Their labels are now solid, and the fill behind them is set a shade deeper so the text genuinely clears that bar.
• The Subscribe and Support buttons too. Their labels were colored for one end of a two-color gradient and disappeared into the other end. Both now use a single fill that the label is legible on all the way across.
• The newsletter note, the “More apps” caption and the version line under the download button were all set too faint to read comfortably; each is now above the AA threshold.
• Keyboard shortcut chips are legible against their own background.
• The screenshot viewer no longer makes every visit quietly re-download this page as if it were an image — a wasted request on each load.
• No change to the app.

Site update — August 12, 2026 · The twoplus11 logo, back to its own color

• The twoplus11 wordmark in the top-left corner is the studio’s blue again. It had been recolored to match Copyr’s accent color, which made the same logo look like a different one on every app’s site. It now matches twoplus11.com and the rest of the apps.
• No change to the app.

Site update — August 11, 2026 · Clearer search results

• The description under this site in Google is no longer cut off. It ran past the length Google shows and broke mid-word; it now reads as a complete sentence.
• Sharing a link to the privacy, terms or changelog page now shows a proper preview card instead of a bare URL.
• The sitemap now reports when each page actually changed, so search engines re-check pages that have been updated instead of assuming they are stale.
• No change to the app.

August 11, 2026 · A new look

• Changed: Copyr has a new app icon. Every twoplus11 app moved to one generated palette, so the color in your Dock, on this site and on the download page is now the same color — they had drifted apart.
• Changed: refreshed the site to match, including the tab icon and the link preview image.

1.2.0 — August 10, 2026 · “Copy with Copyr” works

• Fixed: the “Copy with Copyr” right-click item in Finder had never worked — not in 1.0.0, not in 1.1.0. It produced an alert reading The application “Copyr” does not have permission to open … and nothing else, wherever the files were. It now opens Copyr with your selection loaded.
• The first time you use it on your Desktop, Documents or Downloads, macOS asks whether Copyr may read that folder — the normal one-time permission prompt, now with an explanation of why it's being asked.
• Fixed: Escape closes the conflict, destination and report sheets again. On macOS that's the contract every dialog keeps, and it's the only exit a keyboard-only user has when Full Keyboard Access is off.
• Fixed: the disk image no longer opens pre-scrolled with the bottom of the window cut off, and its two hidden support files can no longer push the layout around if you browse with invisible files shown.
• Corrected on this site: Copyr's own page said it couldn't move files. It has been able to since 1.1.0 — the FAQ, the feature list and a “copy only, no move” badge were all left behind by that release. The download panel also still read “Version 1.0.0”.
• Added screenshots to this page — it had never shown the app. The job sheet you get before a copy starts, and the queue with finished jobs.

1.1.0 — August 9, 2026 · Unattended copies finish

• New: a copy left running unattended comes back finished. “Ask me” used to stop the transfer at the first name clash and wait for a click — left overnight, a job could sit on one duplicate until morning. Now the file is left completely untouched, the question is recorded, and the job carries straight on.
• “Ask me” is now “Ask me afterwards.” The questions arrive as a sheet when the transfer has finished, with “Do this for the other N” to clear the rest in one click. Closing the sheet is a real answer — “leave them” — and loses nothing; the row keeps a ? button that reopens it later.
• Answering queues a small follow-up job over just those files, so settling one question never re-copies a finished job. On a move, a file left for a decision keeps its original and its source folder — nothing is deleted on the strength of an unanswered question.
• New: verification over a network is priced honestly. Verifying reads every byte back, so on a share every byte crosses the network twice. Copying to a network volume now warns that this is usually the setting to turn off; moving to one says the opposite and keeps it on, because your originals are deleted on the strength of those writes.
• New: an Already there section in the report lists each skipped file with both sizes, included when you save the failures as CSV, and a running job shows “n already there” alongside its skips and failures.

1.0.0 — August 6, 2026 · Initial public release

First release. The file-copy engine Finder should have — it doesn't abort a three-hour copy because of one bad file.

• One bad file no longer ends the job — an unreadable file is recorded with its reason and errno, and the rest of the copy carries on.
• Pause and resume any job, mid-file. Pausing flushes to disk first, so a paused job is always a safe moment to unplug.
• Unplug-safe — if a drive disappears mid-copy the job waits for it instead of failing. Reconnect and it continues from the last durable checkpoint; at most 64 MB is ever re-copied.
• Resume after quitting — close Copyr with a copy in flight and it offers to pick the job back up next time. Files that already made it across aren't copied again.
• Nothing half-written wears a real name — content goes to <name>.copyr-part and is renamed into place only once complete and verified.
• Optional SHA-256 verification — reads every file back and compares checksums. Off by default, since it roughly halves throughput.
• Instant same-volume copies via clonefile(2) — immediate, and no extra disk space. Automatically skipped when verification is on.
• Keeps everything — permissions, ACLs, timestamps, extended attributes and Finder tags; symlinks stay symlinks; hard links are recreated rather than duplicated.
• Honest preflight — free space, iCloud placeholders that would have to be downloaded first, anything already unreadable, and network or removable destinations.
• Collision handling — ask, skip, replace, replace if newer, or keep both. Ask is the default, and answering once can apply to the whole job.
• Live speed graph of the last minute, plus an ETA that stays quiet until it has enough signal to be worth trusting. A stalled copy visibly falls to zero instead of holding its last good number.
• End-of-job report — everything copied, skipped or failed, each with a reason. Copy as text, or save just the failures as CSV.
• Four ways in — drop on the window, ⌘O, Copy with Copyr in Finder's right-click menu, and a Services entry that works without enabling anything and can take a keyboard shortcut.
• Full keyboard control, VoiceOver labels and announcements, and a palette checked against WCAG 2.1 AA in light, dark, and both Increase Contrast variants.
• Native SwiftUI. Signed and notarized by Apple — macOS 14+, Apple Silicon & Intel.
• Free for personal use forever, including updates; optional one-time $5-per-device commercial license for commercial use.

Known scope for 1.0: local, USB and Thunderbolt volumes are the supported cases. Network volumes work, but speed and resume are best-effort and labelled as such in the app. Copyr copies; it does not move — moving means deleting your originals, and that deserves its own design rather than a checkbox.
