v1.5.0

October 13, 2026

Bring everyone in — no business card required.

Import from Contacts — pick people from your phone's address book (or select all) and add them to your inbox in one tap.
Add a contact by hand — a new “+” in the inbox for anyone you met without a card.
No duplicates — people already in your inbox (same email or phone) are skipped automatically.
Importing and manual entry are free and never use your AI scans.

Scan-first, and Pro is now a one-time purchase.

Your inbox is home — scan a card and the contact is filed, searchable, and one tap away.

A one-screen setup: sign in with Apple or Google and confirm your name.
Scanning opens straight on paper cards.
Rate Halo on the App Store from the More tab.

Google sign-in and Traditional Chinese.

Sign in with Google — claim and restore your card with a Google account, interchangeable with Apple.
Halo speaks Traditional Chinese (繁體中文).
Groups — file contacts into folders and filter your inbox by them.
Every card color is free, and free accounts get 5 AI scans to try Halo.
Sharing and Chinese keyboard input behave properly.

Batch scan, living contacts, and a cleaner everything.

Batch scan (Pro) — shoot or pick a whole stack of cards, then review them one by one.
Living contacts — people you exchanged with always show their latest card, no re-exchange needed.
Exchange again — re-scan someone to refresh what you have (no duplicates).
LINE opens LINE — tap a contact's LINE ID to jump straight to their add-friend page.
Scan review matches the contact page — one compact list, easier to check and fix.
Smarter scans — career history and slogans fold into the note instead of piling up as fields.
Your card picks its three contact rows by usefulness: phone, email, then LINE before LinkedIn or website.
A tidier More tab, a bolder Halo! wordmark, and a friendlier onboarding.
Edit card — the keyboard no longer hides the field you're typing in.
Account deletion works even after you've exchanged cards.

August 28, 2026

Card styles, cover images, and 500 Pro scans.

Card styles — Paper, Sunset & Obsidian free; Silver, Ocean & Gold with Pro.
Cover image is back — a photo banner across the top of your card.
Company logo on your card (Pro) — a badge beside your avatar, square or wide.
Edit scanned contacts — fix a misread field or add what the card left out.
Halo Pro now includes 500 AI scans a month.
Onboarding — pick your cover during setup; Apple sign-in moved to the end.
Scan credits are counted on the server, so they follow you across devices and reinstalls.
A clearer paywall that says exactly what Pro unlocks.
Exchanging cards now carries website and address too.
Sharing from the inbox no longer fights the contact sheet.
