v1.1.2 - Alpha (Dec 15, 2025)¶

Pacakage Name = "com.jeeldobariya.passcodes"
Min Android = 8.0 (API level 26)
Max Android = 14 (API level 34)
Version Code = 3
Version Name = "v1.1.2-Alpha"
Master Database Version = "v1"

Danger

This is a kind of a breaking release, it will wipe off all your in-app settings.. which mean after updating the app, all your previous setting will be reset to defualt.

This doesn't mean that your password data will be lost.. I repeat your password data will be there as it is, untouched in app.

You may ask why this is not v2.0.0? even if it has breaking changes???

Firstly, the user interaction with app is not change that much in this release that it make sense to make it a major release (v2.0.0).

Secondly & more importantly, It is v1.1.1 because, setting's data is not than important, core & criticual to app itself.

TL;DR: Improve the internal code quality.. | Clean architecture in codebase...

For user side of app.. things might look same.. or even some part of ui, like conformation dialog may seems to disapper completely.
App has changed completely internally in codebase. The architecture of the app has shifted from something along the lines of MVC.. to MVI Flavoured Clean architecture. Which is more like google's/industry's way of making app in android's world...
This architecture changes in app will give us as developers a better place (codebase) to work in. This means a solid foundation for further features.
This release is more like a shift in direction of passcodes development trajectory, towards becaming a industry/production ready app rather than just became an another password manager app..
This release is also being a major part of—actually, it marks the completion of the phrase 1—biggest refactoring of codebase, we are doing at passcodes.... #42
And thus, a part of it contains premature features like Autofill & Jetpack Compose UI. Which are served as a preview features in app, but you can also turn them on if you wish...
This release also bring with it some performance enhancements—theorically, Because I have not notice it yet—as the app now run on JAVA 21. it was previously Java 11.

Why "PasscodesApp" as a Github Organization? not Passcodes..

Organization is named PasscodesApp and not Passcodes. Because, passcodes as name is already taken & not available on github as of Aug 31, 2025....

Stick to watch and observe upcoming changes & progress... Telegram (@passcodescommunity)

TL;DR: Design Improvements.. | Will work with google passwords.... | We are officially an organization on GitHub from Aug 31, 2025....

This is our first official release after migrating to the github organization...
This release has feature like importing & exporting passwords from google password's app...
This is an alpha release. So it has unstable features.
Also, both the features (copying passwords & importing-exporting passwords) are disable by default. due to security threats... But, they can be turn on if you wish...
From this point onwards, app has a mechanism to release feature progressively using "feature flags". This means one could opt-into newer unstable features & get earlier access to latest features. As a tradeoff to the stablity of the app itself.. meaning you are an unoffical earlier tester of the app/project..

Became An Offical Tester

If you wish to became a offical tester for the app, let us know on our telegram community. (@passcodescommunity)

This mean you get credit for your work & some testing responsiblity.. like testing new feature.. share you user point of view for a feature. test usablity of the whole app. and basically act as a Q/A Tester.

You might also ask to test the security and asked to exploit the app. so, that we can discover flaws in our app..

Also as the passcodes have change from "just my personal hobby project" to an official github based organization.. This release mark as a step forward for us towards open source and towards open to contribute... and potentailly leading us as a community as a whole.....
And more importantly it reflect, my long term vision with passcodes as a project... what it means?...
Upcoming things will be more fascinating to watch and to be part of... So stick with us.. Telegram (@passcodescommunity)
And also the app will have more long term support... (if you ignore, the fact that I am not a verified developer, as of "1/9/25 by google"... but will do it in a near time...)

v1.0.0 - Stable (Aug 16, 2025)¶

Package Name = "com.jeeldobariya.passcodes"
Min Android = 8.0 (API level 26)
Max Android = 14 (API level 34)
Version Code = 1
Version Name = "v1.0.0-Stable"
Master Database Version = "v1"

TL;DR: Our first stable release.. | Not much has change in terms of look and features.. | Name of project has changed to Passcodes..

This is our first stable release, even though it looks and behaves same as prototype release.
It's now more stable and more reliable as the data storage system is now tested, optimized and uses more modern approach (room library).
Things have change internally also... like app was first builded using java language.. but, now it is in kotlin language. which is more align to google's way of building app.
Now, you also have in-app ablity to switch languages & themes.. (Don;t rely on transalation as they are ai generated for now).
App now has an improved UI/UX, It has hint's.. especially, as you all where asking like, "what is domain?" "what can i write in domain?" and so on.....

v0.1.0 - Alpha (Aug 26, 2024) [YANKED RELEASE]¶

Danger

This is an yanked release and should not be used by any user. The soley purpose of this release is, just for documenation & serves as a part of project's story...

The main cause we have yanked this release is.. not that the release itself is bad by any manner.. but the app name it uses is "password manager". which is an old name, the name we have started our journey with. we have after a year (2024), maded a decision and envisioned project differently, with a name "passcodes".. which is a also an old name. one of mine eariler project, which I have removed from github... but it was the reason I meet Daniel in the first place.. and we have started this new project as password manager and that eventally became passcodes... and now it's in production and in real user's hands... as you read this... 😂😂😂😂😂

We have yanked this release to show this shift... you can even see in details below that package name has change.. So theoretically and practically also, It is an another app/project... an deperacted one in software term's...
