New Features

Medium & Custom Domain URLs

• Medium article URLs – Paste standard medium.com links as before.
• Custom domain URLs – Now supports article links from custom domains (e.g. publication subdomains and custom Medium sites).
• Use any article URL in the app or on the website; both are accepted and routed through Freedium.

Misc

• Update popup – Update-available dialog now shows on app launch (once per new version) and when opening an article in WebView for the first time; also shown when opening from the share sheet using cached update info.
• Launcher icon – Icon scaled to fit the adaptive-icon safe zone so it no longer gets cropped on circular or squircle launcher masks.
• Title font – “Medium Unlocker.” title is explicitly bold for consistent appearance across devices.
