What's new in Keepfin 1.0.0

One Keepfin folder that you own#

Everything you keep now lives in one Keepfin folder: music, videos, photos, playlists and history, with the library kept alongside in a hidden folder. Move it to a new drive or computer and nothing breaks. Windows and Android both ask for the folder on the first start, and a careful setup window moves an earlier library over, checking every file.

• What is inside the Keepfin folder

Copies on drives, cards and folders#

Keep a second copy on an external drive, SD card, USB stick or network folder, as a backup with earlier versions, a two-way copy or a mirror. Choose what each one keeps, and see everything that needs a decision in one place.

• What a copy is, and the three modes
• Add a copy
• Needs review
• Playlists and MP3 versions for cars and other players

Cloud copies#

Sign in to Google Drive, Dropbox or a WebDAV server inside Keepfin and keep a copy there, with no cloud app needed. Keepfin only sees its own folder.

• Cloud accounts
• Connect a cloud account

Devices, Download on and Play from#

Pair your PC and phone on purpose, and they keep their libraries in step directly, with no account and no server. Send a link to the device that should download it. Play a song or video from another device without saving it. Join a library from a device you already use. Away from home, reach a device by its address, for example over Tailscale.

• Download on another device

A new app icon, and a choice of eight#

Keepfin has a new main icon, Ink Tide, a shark rising from a wave, and you can switch to one of seven other designs.

• The app icon

Also new#

• A few short start pages ask how you want to use Keepfin (Keepfin Complete or Just downloads) and where your folder goes.
• Settings has nine categories with the same names on both apps: Downloads, Library & playback, Storage & copies, Devices, Appearance, Notifications, Help, Support Keepfin and About Keepfin.
• Every change in the library shows a notice with Undo, and files you delete wait in Trash for 30 days.

Upgrading from 0.5#

Your history, playlists, favourites and settings carry over. The first start opens the setup window if Keepfin finds anything from before. Nothing is removed until its copy has been checked.
