🚀 Major Amphi Update "Foundations Rebuild" - Version 1.0 build 10.
Hey everyone,
It’s been a little while since our last update, we’ve been deep in the foundations.
We’ve loved all the feedback you’ve been sharing, and this release is directly shaped by those conversations.
This update focuses on performance, reliability, and real study usability. We’ve rebuilt major parts of the canvas and made significant improvements to binders and focus view to give you more control and make Amphi adapt better to how you actually work.
This is a big step toward a more stable, powerful Amphi and we’re excited to get it into your hands.
đź“š Binders Rebuild Smarter
A major overhaul.
• Focus view redesigned to feel closer to conventional page-based note apps
• Automatic binder alignment, drag slightly over another binder to snap into place
• Binder headers scale and compress better when zoomed out
• Updated binder page patterns
• Improved page sizing
• Select and duplicate pages from binder settings
• Strokes move out of the way when adding a new binder
• Binders no longer collapse while being moved
• Adjustable binder margins (export with or without margins to PDF)
• Swipe to add a new page in focus view
• Background colour options in focus view
• Focus view quick-access (eye icon appears when binder fills majority of screen)
• Vertical scroll, horizontal scroll, and swipe options in focus view
🧠Canvas Navigation
The canvas engine has been redesigned from the ground up.
• Fixed canvas “jumping” and shifting
• Mini-map added (tap to navigate when content is off-screen)
• Increased max zoom
• Significant zoom & pan performance improvements
• Fixed content shifting bug
• Targeting 120fps on newer devices
Much smoother. Much more reliable.
đź“„ PDFs are more stable with more control
We’ve addressed large PDF crashes and rebuilt the import flow.
• Crop imported PDFs for binders
• Chapter divider for large PDFs
