Faster sync on a fresh device
A new phone catches up on your history by downloading a single compact snapshot instead of replaying every event ever.
When you link a new phone, sync used to pull every change you’d ever made and replay them locally. For an active user with thousands of completions and edits, that’s a noticeable grind on first launch.
v1.4 changes how older history is stored on the sync server. Once a day, the server folds the past month’s worth of changes older than 30 days into a single compact “snapshot” per user. A fresh device downloads the snapshot in one request, applies it in one pass, then pulls only the recent days of activity.
Nothing changes about what you see in the app. The snapshot is still end-to-end encrypted with your private key — the server stores opaque blobs it can’t read. Older devices that haven’t upgraded yet are unaffected and keep syncing normally.
