1.4: Liquid Glass, translation & fixes

Hi, here’s some news straight from behind the scenes of the Potch app :)

The new version 1.4 of Potch brings several new features and I took the opportunity to modernize the interface for the release of iOS 26 scheduled for September 15, which introduces Liquid Glass (a new iOS look). Potch’s icon has therefore received a small facelift to be compatible with the new iOS 26 home screen.

This update has been submitted to Apple and will be available in the App Store after review.

I also took the opportunity to visually improve most of the app’s screens, and this work will continue in future versions, whether based on feedback I receive or ideas I have. These changes are made to harmonize Potch’s visual identity throughout the app and align with iOS standards.

I also added a new natural ambient sound, straight from Japan. It was recorded in Arashiyama, Kyoto, on a summer evening in August: it was raining slightly and the sound of rain mixed with crickets and birds was a true auditory pleasure and a wonderful blend that I immediately recorded!

New features

• Improved and modernized interface
• Liquid Glass support for iOS 26
• New natural ambient sound: “Summer Whisper in Japan”
• Potch is now translated into English in addition to French (French texts have been reworked)
• Donation system added: if you’d like to support Potch’s development, a one-time/monthly donation system is now in place
• New badge added to thank donors
• Added instructions for translating Potch

Fixes

• Fixed misplaced interface elements on iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd gen)
• Accessibility improvements for visually impaired users
• Loading time optimizations for certain views

I hope you enjoy these new features :)

The update will appear automatically in the App Store but may not appear at the same time for all users.
