MicroSphere 1.5.0 is live. This release is about making everyday Micro.blog use a bit smoother: clearer workflow, calmer screens, and the same privacy-first approach — no adverts, no tracking SDKs, and your token stays in the Keychain on your device.

Workflow

Bookmarks as read-later
Saved posts can be marked unread, read, or archived, with filters for each state. Handy if you treat bookmarks less like a pile and more like a queue.

Feed filters
Timeline and Mentions can be filtered to show all posts, photos, links, or conversations — useful when you only want one kind of update.

Drafts dashboard
The Drafts screen now opens with a summary: local drafts, Micro.blog drafts, totals, and sync status, so you can see what’s waiting without digging.

Compose modes
New post modes help you start Micro, Long, Photo, Link, and Reading posts with the right shape from the outset.

Appearance settings
Choose Comfortable or Compact feed density, and set the trailing swipe action to Save, Reply, or Conversation.

Interface polish

Feed post cards have cleaner spacing, softer depth, and clearer unread and focused states. Loading and error screens use calmer MicroSphere-branded placeholders, with Try Again where it helps. Compose toolbar controls follow your chosen accent colour more consistently, and the editor bottom toolbar has smoother spacing and shape.

Age assurance (iOS 26+)

On iOS 26, social features use Apple’s Declared Age Range check before timelines, mentions, posting, and Share Extension publishing are enabled. Users under 13 cannot access those features. If verification fails or is declined, a retry screen is shown.

No age data is sent to Micro.blog — only a local allow/restrict decision is cached briefly on your device.

On iOS 17–25, social features work as before, without an age prompt.
