What's newin version 1.3.4
The Halloween Pack is here. Open Platen tonight and let the paper stir.
• Seven capsules: Frankenstein sparks as you type; Ghost Lantern; Lantern Pumpkin with a flickering candle; Mummy with swinging bandage tails; Delft Skeleton; Haunted House with windows lighting up one by one; Crystal Storm with lightning.
• At night, cobwebs on the rail sway with the capsule, spiders cross the paper, bats leave the lamp, and thunder rolls with lightning.
• Two rail ends: a carved Jack-o'-Lantern that glows at night, and Mummy Wrap. Add a red balloon tied to the capsule, carnival lights under the rail and wandering footprints.
• Included with Platen Studio, or available on its own.
New crafts for your capsule
• China: cinnabar lacquer, blue-and-white porcelain and white jade. South Korea: celadon with cranes and mother-of-pearl lacquer. Mexico: Tenango embroidery and Oaxacan black clay. Each pack is carved in 3D from real crafts and included with Studio. Jade and brass rail ends join them; packs now sit in tidy rows you swipe.
You asked, we listened
• Flower bookmarks in six colours, with a colour filter in the Box.
• Platen now speaks Russian (Русский). Russian, accented letters (é, ü, ñ…) and Greek get the real typewriter strike and uneven ink.
• Korean, Chinese and Japanese regain the worn, uneven ribbon look. Characters sit at a balanced size beside Latin letters, fitting more on a line; the hammer strikes during composition and confirmation.
• Share short notes with “Centre on page”, the capsule in the middle, and a “Share to Instagram Story” button.
• Follow Platen on Instagram, X and Xiaohongshu from Settings.
Smoother writing
• The first lines stay still, and curved paper no longer briefly flattens.
• Photo stamps stay sharp, keeping their size and place.
• Selecting and pasting no longer scroll the page under your finger.
• Interrupted iCloud sync no longer duplicates letters.
• With the narrow margin, the capsule stops at the rail ends.
• The home screen shows the full month and letter count.
