Release Notes

What's new in your HomeNog.

v1.5.0 - The "I Know Places" Update

CurrentJanuary 22, 2026

Stuff You'll Probably Need

Baby, I know places we can find your filters. Our AI now predicts the exact consumables and parts your items need. It's like having a maintenance team that knows your house better than you do.

Smart Shopping

We've added direct links to purchase parts. You stand back and watch while we handle the search query. From Amazon to specialized stores, we hunt down the right item so you don't have to.

Enhancements

Various bug fixes and enhancements.

v1.4.4 - The "Man" Update

January 15, 2026

Bad Blood: Malicious Site Block

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes, so we stopped them before they happened. We've added robust URL validation to our manual lookup tool to block known malicious sites and ensure you only land on official manufacturer pages.

You're The Man (Admin)

For the bosses: The admin dashboard now features a "Recently Joined" section. I'd be complex, I'd be cool... but really it just shows who signed up in the last week.

v1.4.3 - The "Paper Rings" Update

January 8, 2026

Coupons & Promos

I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings... or even better, a discount code. You can now redeem coupons during checkout. Because saving money never goes out of style.

Maintenance

Various bug fixes and enhancements.

v1.4.2 - The "Blank Space" Update

January 8, 2026

Official Product Links

I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your URL. We've replaced the heavy PDF downloader with a smart "Official Support Page" launcher. One click takes you to the manufacturer's live site, ensuring you always see the latest manuals and specs (unlike that milk in your fridge).

Belt Tightening

We've optimized our storage policy. Use the new links for heavy lifting, and keep your custom uploads for receipts and photos. We now enforce a 3-file / 5MB limit per item to keep things snappy.

Snark Level: High

Our AI has been trained on a diet of sarcasm and efficiency. Expect delightfully passive-aggressive loading messages.

v1.4.1 - The "Mastermind" Update

CurrentJanuary 7, 2026

The "Invisible String" of Stability

We've harmonized our testing suite! Fixed the "invisible string" tying down our E2E tests: resolved the missing 'room' field blocker and standardized form submission. Now 100% of our unit and E2E tests are passing, ensuring every feature is Ready For It.

Long Live Reliability

Hardened our test environment with robust API-based cleanup and increased timeouts for AI processing. No more Champagne Problems with flaky tests.

v1.4.0 - The "Public Launch" Update

January 6, 2026

Beautiful Landing Page

HomeNog now has a proper front door! We built a stunning landing page showcasing the app with real screenshots, feature highlights, and smooth animations. No more landing on a login screen.

Critical: Item Limit Enforcement Fixed

Security Patch: Fixed a critical bug where users could bypass the 25-item limit on Free plans due to NULL value handling in the database. All existing items have been migrated to ensure proper counting.

Interactive Limit Blocking

When you hit your item limit, instead of a passive disabled button, you now see a "Noggin's Full!" modal with clear messaging and a direct upgrade path to Plus. Fair and transparent.

Auto-Fetch Documentation

When you add an item with a brand and model, HomeNog now automatically searches and downloads product manuals, quick-start guides, and parts lists from the web. They appear instantly in your attachments with color-coded badges.

AI-Powered Search Optimization

Our new AI Search Optimizer generates smarter, domain-specific queries when finding product images and documentation. Better results, fewer misses.

Unified AI Assists Counter

We've merged AI Vision and Google Search counters into a single "AI Assists" metric. Clearer limits, simpler tracking. Free: 25/month, Plus: 250/month.

Dynamic Pricing Modal

The pricing modal now pulls live limit values from admin settings and features updated copy: "Assisted Searches with Auto-Fetch of documents. Yes, we're making 'fetch' happen!"

Visual Polish

Added screenshot carousel to landing page, sticky navigation with scroll effects, upgrade banners with emoji personalities ("Brain Freeze! ❄️"), and refined mobile responsiveness across the board.

Reliability & Stability

Various bug fixes and performance improvements to make HomeNog faster and more reliable.

v1.3.0 - The "New Era" Update

January 4, 2026

The Great Migration (Import)

Moving from Centriq? We've built a dedicated CSV Import Engine just for you. Drag and drop your export file, and our AI will automatically map your rooms, categorize your appliances, and populate your digital home. (Plus Feature)

Authentication Reborn

We've completely overhauled our security flows.

  • Dedicated pages for Sign In, Sign Up, and Forgot Password.
  • Self-Service Recovery: You can now reset your password without emailing support (finally!).
  • Security Hardening: Improved session management and error handling (No more "Anonymous" bugs).

HomeNog Plus & Limits

Introduced the Plus Membership for power users, unlocking unlimited items and priority AI. We also implemented "Soft Caps"—if you downgrade, you keep your data, you just can't add more until you resubscribe. Fair is fair.

Visual Refinement

Here is what we improved:

  • Brand New Logo: Fresh look, same brain.
  • Snarky AI: Our loading screens now have a bit more personality.
  • App Install: Improved PWA support for adding HomeNog to your home screen.

Bug Squashing

Fixed issues with room mapping during import, resolved the vanishing "Add Item" button on mobile, and tuned the AI significantly for better model number detection.

v1.2.0 - The Organization Update

December 27, 2025

Unified Room Management

Take full control of your home's layout. You can now add, rename, and delete rooms directly from Settings. HomeNog intelligently syncs rooms from your items, ensuring everything is manageable in one place.

Room & Category Separation

Rooms and Categories are now distinct fields. Your dashboard filters are now more precise, making it easier to drill down into specific spaces or technical groups.

Smart Organization

Our AI extraction has been retrained to understand the difference between where an item is (Room) and what it is (Category). Plus, we've added smart item migration when pruning old rooms.

UI & Accessibility Refinement
