BLOCKY
1.0.9
1.0.9DATE27 OCT 2026CHANGES19LIVE
Owners can remove people, big lists load in full, the Mac gets a menu-bar icon with real alerts, and every screen is easier to read.
NEW 03
REMOVE people from your list
List owners see REMOVE next to each person in PEOPLE. One tap, and UNDO in the message if it was a mistake. The join code changes, so they need the new code to come back. If WEB LINK is on, turn it off too, or they can come back through the link.
Blocky in the Mac menu bar
A Blocky icon sits in the menu bar and Mac alerts are real notifications. The first time you open 1.0.9, macOS asks for "Blocky" Notifications: press Allow.
ONLY THIS BLOCK and OPEN ALL
Open a block's menu to fold every other block, or open them all again, with UNDO. On the Mac: OPT+CMD+← and OPT+CMD+→.
IMPROVED 09
WEB LINK off gives a new code
Turning WEB LINK off sends everyone who came in through the link out of the list and gives the list a new join code. Share the new code again wherever you posted or printed the old one.
Big lists load in full
Lists with more than 1000 items now load every item. Everyone on a list that big needs 1.0.9 (or a reloaded web page) to see all of it.
Less data, less battery
Only the list you have open refreshes on its own, and unchanged rows are skipped. Opening a list you just joined no longer downloads it three times.
Easier to read
Values are white and labels a soft white instead of grey: times, ACTIVITY, the clock, PEOPLE and the sync line. Team notes stay orange.
Shorter header on phones
On a phone the clock sits on the top line and the sync line uses short words, so more items fit on screen. At large text the status moves to its own line instead of being cut.
SIGN IN on an empty LISTS
With no lists yet, SIGN IN · SEE YOUR LISTS is right under CREATE LIST, and on the first-run screen too.
Clear words when something fails
No signal says "No signal · try again online", never that sign-in is off. Refusals say what happened and offer RETRY. SYNC LOG reads in plain words.
Mac keys and words
The Edit menu shows CMD+Z SHIFT+CMD+Z CMD+X CMD+C CMD+V CMD+A, with Redo and Enter Full Screen (CTRL+CMD+F). The Mac says "this device" and "Press". It opens faster and updates are smaller.
If you're still on an older version
Renaming yourself on 1.0.5 to 1.0.8 doesn't reach lists you already joined until you update to 1.0.9. Reload any Blocky web page that has been open since before today.
FIXED 05
Signed out says so
If your account was signed out on another device, Blocky says SIGNED OUT with a SIGN IN button. Your name and settings stay, and signing in brings your lists back.
Removed from a list says why
If the owner removes you, Blocky says REMOVED FROM <LIST> · ASK THE OWNER FOR THE CODE instead of the list just disappearing. On the web the page says NO ACCESS · JOIN WITH CODE.
PICK TIME… picks a time
REMINDER › PICK TIME… opens hour and minute buttons and SET, instead of quietly setting a reminder 2 hours ahead.
Live updates come back on their own
After a long time without signal, live updates reconnect by themselves. On the Mac, live starts at launch even before you click the window.
Small fixes
Long messages wrap instead of being cut off. Long list titles shrink to fit one line. UNDO and the status buttons work with VoiceOver on the Mac. The update screen names the TRY AGAIN button.
PRIVACY 02
Safer 2FA and sign-in
Android blocks screenshots of the authenticator setup screen. The Mac clears the 2FA key from the clipboard and keeps sign-in files out of Time Machine. A slow phone moment can no longer replace your account.
Safer web page
Stronger page security, the join code no longer stays in your browser history, a link can't swap who you're signed in as, and an invite link always waits for your JOIN tap. SETTINGS matches the app and ABOUT shows the version.
