Changelog

What changed in Noah — one short note a week.

Current —Released —Runs on macOS 12+ · Windows
2026-08-24 v1.41.0

Startup items you can act on

  • Ask what runs at login and Noah gives you a list you can act on, instead of a description to read through.
  • Anything Noah removes goes to your Trash, so you can put it back.
  • Storage checks say what they could not see, rather than implying a complete picture.
2026-08-17 v1.39.0

Windows out of beta

  • Windows Noah is out of beta, and better at working out what is slowing a PC down.
  • Moving and deleting files is checked before and verified afterwards.
  • Continue picks up the conversation you left.
2026-08-10 v1.36.0

Clearer about admin access

  • Noah warns you before a step that needs your admin password, and never approves one on your behalf.
  • What Noah has learned about your machine follows you to a wiped or replaced Mac.
  • A reply that fails partway through says so instead of arriving as silence.
2026-08-03 v1.32.0

Restarts, and updates that land on their own

  • A restart Noah asked for is recognised when you come back, so the conversation carries on where it stopped.
  • Updates install themselves the next time you open Noah, rather than waiting for a click.
  • Windows One installer covers both installing and updating.
2026-07-27 v1.30.1

Windows sees every installed app

  • Windows The app inventory now covers Store apps, per-user installs and the Start menu.
  • Windows Windows users stopped being told Noah was looking at “your Mac”.
  • Upgrading takes one step from inside the app.
2026-07-20 v1.25.0

Uninstalling, properly

  • Noah can uninstall an app rather than just moving it to the Trash.
  • Removals are staged so they can be undone, and the space is genuinely reclaimed.
  • A suggested restart is one tap, and so is opening the Trash.
2026-07-13 v1.21.0

Permission prompts that explain themselves

  • Noah tells you why it wants a folder before macOS asks you to allow it.
  • One command stopped setting off three separate permission prompts.
  • When the service behind Noah is down it says so calmly, instead of failing in a way you have to decode.
2026-07-06 v1.16.1

Every conversation keeps its place

  • Conversations are properly separate — each keeps its own messages, progress and cards.
  • Reopening an old one restores what Noah showed you, not just the text.
  • Noah shows its working as it goes, and asks before a new chat discards a fix in progress.
2026-06-29 v1.11.0

A face of its own

  • A new logo and a redrawn identity, in light and dark.
  • Anyone already paying can manage their billing from inside the app.
2026-06-22 v1.7.0

Preview and stable

  • Two update channels — Preview for early builds, stable for everyone else.
  • Noah knows your model and disk, so advice fits the machine in front of you.
  • Fixes for known problems update on their own, with no new download.
2026-06-15 v1.4.0

Safety becomes a mechanism, not a promise

  • Noah refuses to touch keychains, credentials and system security, however the command is written.
  • Every action Noah runs and every approval you give is written to a log you can read.
  • The one-time Fix Pass appears next to the subscription.
2026-06-08 v1.2.1

Diagnosis before anything else

  • Noah opens with a real look at your Mac instead of a form.
  • A slow Mac is diagnosed in one pass rather than a dozen separate probes.
  • Destructive commands can no longer slip past the approval step.
2026-05-18 v1.0.6

1.0

  • Noah reaches 1.0.
  • A permission macOS has denied is recognised and explained, instead of failing quietly.

2026-05-04 v0.20.3

A design system, and a clearer bill

  • Consistent type, colour and cards throughout the app.
  • Findings and steps render as structured cards rather than loose text.
  • Billing tells a paid trial from a renewal, and existing subscribers have a way back in.

Sign in, subscribe, start

  • Sign-in, subscriptions and billing arrive in the app.
