Added

  • On iPhone and iPad, Pro can convert one UTF-8 TXT file larger than 10 MiB, up to 100 MiB, directly to a file saved where you choose in the system save panel. The current draft and result stay in place, and homepage conversions are not used. The task shows progress and can be cancelled; it stops safely if the app moves to the background or the device locks. A finished result is kept until you save or delete it, even after an app restart.

Changed

  • On iPhone, the workspace follows the actual window size, so wide windows can show source and result side by side. Main actions, Back and Close now use the system navigation bar.
  • The Pro prompt on iPhone and iPad uses a system alert; a pending file error is shown after the prompt or Pro page closes instead of being lost.
  • The Mac menu bar icon is shown by default, and an earlier on/off choice is kept. Settings switches use an updated style.

Fixed

  • On Mac, ⌘, opens Settings and ⌘P opens Pro even when More is in the toolbar overflow menu, keeping your reading position.
  • Long import hints wrap in narrow Mac windows, and workspace panes keep their height after you return from Settings or Pro.
  • Each new window starts at the home screen, and a finished file result can still be saved after the exporting window closes.

2.1

Published 1 October 2026

Added

  • On Mac, Pro can convert and export one UTF-8 TXT file larger than 10 MiB, up to 1 GiB, directly to a file. The current draft and result stay in place. The task shows progress and supports cancellation. Files up to 10 MiB keep the editable import workflow.
  • A free Shortcuts action converts text with one of four public presets and returns the result to the next action. Available on iOS/iPadOS 16+ and macOS 13+; input is limited to 10 MiB of UTF-8 and does not use the homepage daily allowance.
  • New workspaces start empty, with an optional example. Clearing the source asks for confirmation and removes the current window’s source, result, export snapshot and imported filename.
  • Updated app icon and launch mark, including system-supported dark, clear and tinted icon appearances. Reduce Motion uses a short fade, and VoiceOver skips it.

Fixed

  • The Mac global Convert shortcut checks that the focused window, selection and editable target are still the ones that started the request. If the target cannot be confirmed, the result stays in OpenCCman for manual copying.

2.0

Published 28 September 2026

Added

  • Four presets cover Simplified Chinese, OpenCC Traditional, Taiwan Standard with idioms, and Hong Kong Traditional. Advanced combinations remain available.
  • Mac and iPad can place source and result side by side or stacked. Layout preference belongs to each window; narrow windows stack temporarily without changing that preference. iPhone keeps a compact stacked workspace.
  • Import or drop one UTF-8 TXT file up to 10 MiB, including a UTF-8 BOM; export the latest successful result as UTF-8 without a BOM. File work runs locally and preserves line endings, blank lines, Emoji, combining characters and embedded U+0000.
  • Mac global shortcuts and Services work with selected text in other apps. Automatic replacement needs Accessibility permission and an editable source app; conversion can also open the result in OpenCCman.
  • A Customer Center in Settings shows purchase status, restore and support. Mac users on macOS 13+ can optionally enable Launch at Login.

Changed

  • The embedded OpenCC core moves from 1.2.0 to 1.4.2. Existing option meanings remain; updated dictionaries may change particular conversion results.
  • The homepage still offers 12 free conversions per day. Starting work reserves a use across windows; failures and cancellations release it. Pro conversions remain exempt.
  • Minimum systems are iOS 15 and macOS 12. The app is also available on iPad.

Fixed

  • Cancellation prevents a late conversion or file import from replacing newer text. An oversized or invalid import leaves the current draft intact.
  • Large-text conversion now preserves phrase boundaries and earlier text instead of letting chunk boundaries alter words or drop content.
  • The Mac pasteboard workflow preserves saved representations and avoids overwriting a newer copy made by the user.

Earlier source history

1.0–1.2

  • 1.2: dependency updates; its earlier chunked large-text conversion was replaced by the 2.0 correction above.
  • 1.1: macOS Services and configurable global shortcuts for selected text.
  • 1.0: the original iPhone, iPad and Mac Chinese conversion app with regional options.
