What shipped.
Release by release.

The features that landed in each ArtDrop release, newest first.

v1.3.0 July 17, 2026 Released
True multistore
Publish one drop to all your stores at once. In Storefronts, under Your Stores, check the shops under Publish drops to and every artwork you drop publishes to all of them in one pass, each store in its own trained voice with its own template lineup. If one store's provider hiccups, the drop still publishes everywhere else and only the failed store lands in the error list to retry.
Each store on its own schedule. A per-store when picker releases now or on a delay of up to 30 days, so you can list on Etsy first for its freshness boost and roll the same design onto your own site next week. Scheduled releases fire whether or not ArtDrop is open, and the Batch page shows what is queued. See the multi-store guide.
Different products per store from one design. Each store's Template filter picks what it carries, so a hoodie can go out as three bestseller colorways on Etsy and the full size and color range on your own Shopify store.
Languages
The app is going multilingual. The ArtDrop app runs in English today. A full Spanish translation of the entire app, localized for Latin America, is complete and in final native and legal review. Seven more languages are in active development: German, Japanese, Korean, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch. This website is already bilingual in English and Spanish.
v1.2.1 July 16, 2026 Released
Fabric Mirror repeats
Mirror-repeat fabric is live in Printify. On four supported MWW On Demand Fabric by the Yard blueprints, ArtDrop can turn one artwork into a seamless reflected repeat before Printify creates the product.
The first live cut is deliberately narrow. Mirror locks the verified one-yard variant and full-plate placement. Three-yard and five-yard cuts remain panel prints, and Half-drop, Half-brick, Grid, and Scatter are not live.
Preview before you publish. Choose a 0.5-to-12-inch motif and ground color, preview the repeat in the product template, and order a swatch before selling a new pattern. The fabric repeat guide walks through the setup.
Pricing
Additional stores now use a volume discount. Your first store is still included. On the Web plan, additional stores start at $10 per month and get cheaper as you add more (down to $2 per month); on the Mac plan they start at $75 one time and drop to as low as $15. Product lines and per-store voices stay unlimited. Shopify App Store installs still subscribe separately at $39 per month through Shopify.
Site
Explore what you can sell. Twelve new pages show ArtDrop by product family and by creator: apparel and embroidery, pet products, stationery, home decor, holiday and ornaments, plus pages for outdoor creators, pet-portrait artists, bands, teachers, company merch stores, nursery artists, and churches. Start at the new What to sell index, in English and Spanish.
Announcement bar. A slim, dismissible bar at the top of the site now points to what is new, one line and one link, no rotation.
Accessibility and readability
Clearer text across the site. Small captions, footnotes, and footer copy now meet WCAG AA contrast, so they are easier to read.
Keyboard and screen-reader support for FAQs. The FAQ accordions announce their open and closed state and no longer trap keyboard focus inside a collapsed answer.
Comparison tables scroll on phones. Wide provider comparison tables in the guides now scroll sideways on small screens instead of clipping their last column.
Sharper provider comparison guides. The Gelato, Printful, and Printify comparison pages now point you to the right head-to-head guide when you are only deciding between two providers.
v1.2.0 July 14, 2026 Released
Etsy publishing is live
Digital downloads publish straight to your Etsy shop. Live since July 10, a drop routed to Etsy creates the listing through the Etsy API with an AI title, up to 13 tags (Etsy's cap), a description, a preview image, and the download file attached.
Physical print products reach Etsy through your connected provider. Route a drop to an Etsy-connected Printify shop or Gelato store and the provider publishes the listing and fulfills the order. Etsy holds provider-created listings as drafts until you approve the provider as a production partner, a quick one-time step in your Etsy settings.
Etsy stores work like any other store. Each Etsy shop is its own store with its own trained voice, product lines, naming, and tags.
Faster drops
Paste an image to drop it. Copy artwork from anywhere and press Cmd+V on the dashboard to start a drop, no file dialog and no drag needed. Drag-and-drop still works exactly as before. (Cmd+V is a desktop gesture; on phones and tablets use the file picker.)
The Live Log attaches the moment you upload. The processing log opens as soon as your drop lands and streams each step in real time, so you watch the copy, products, and listings come together instead of waiting on a spinner.
Batch drip scheduling
Space a batch out over time. Live since July 10, drop many images at once and publish them all now, or drip them at 1, 2, 5, or 10 per day or about 1 per hour. CSV and XLSX sheets set per-image copy and store or line routing for the whole batch.
v1.1.0 July 12, 2026 Released
Multiple stores, product lines, and safe routing
Multiple stores are live. Each store keeps its own identity, credentials, settings, Voice Trainer data, product lines, naming, tags, listing mode, and provider destination IDs.
Product lines are live inside every store. Per-line voice additions, title rules, SEO suffixes, tags, introductions, and template filters stay scoped to the selected store. Product lines are free and unlimited within a store.
Routing fails closed. Drop Zone selection and store or line fields route to the explicit destination. Unknown or incomplete values stop the drop rather than falling back to the primary or last-used store.
Voice and credentials have different copy rules. Copy settings across stores clones voice and product lines, never credentials. Store writes use revision checks so concurrent edits ask the user to reload instead of overwriting newer data.
Additional-store pricing is active. One store is included. Direct Web extra slots start at $10 per month and get cheaper as you add more; Mac extra slots start at $75 once. Shopify-billed additional shops install and subscribe separately.
v1.0.2 April 28, 2026
Setup Wizard
The current wizard has four steps. Storefront, Storage, Printers, and Copy are the supported sequence. The former Social tab was removed when social worker integrations were retired.
Guided Shopify connection groundwork. The Storefront step gained a guided authorization path. The public Shopify App Store listing is still pending review, so for now connect your store with a custom-app access token in the wizard.
Storage required when B2 is selected. When B2 is the chosen storage backend, every B2 field is required, the wizard won't let you continue with anything blank. Fewer "why didn't my upload work" moments later.
Preflight reads cleanly at 4 of 4. "All 4 connected. Step through to confirm your settings, then you're ready to drop your first artwork." (Replaces the misleading "fill the gap" line.)
Voice Trainer & Image Trainer
Voice Trainer lives under Copy and Data. No more separate sidebar entry. Click Analyze Voice on a website URL or a passage of your existing copy, and ArtDrop applies the rules straight to your form fields. The page scrolls to show the first field that changed and the status reads "Voice profile applied, review the fields below." No preview card, no Accept button.
Image Trainer is a real conversation now. Drop an image, ArtDrop describes it, you chat back to refine, ArtDrop rewrites. Tags persist across iterations along with the rest. Live status during the analysis ("Reading your image..." → "Writing your copy..." → "Drafting descriptions..." → "Almost there...") plus a thumbnail that stays put.
Safety floor. A small always-on never-use list blocks profanity, slurs, and similar terms in generated copy regardless of your voice training. Everything else, you control.
NSFW URL guard on the Voice Trainer Website analyzer. Adult-content URLs (porn, OnlyFans, and similar) get rejected with a clear error instead of being scraped.
Backup & Restore
Config exports carry metadata. Each export now starts with a small block (when it was exported, by whom, app version, license) so you can tell two configs apart at a glance. Useful when seeding a new machine or sharing settings.
v1.0.1 April 16, 2026
Setup Wizard
Seven numbered wizard tabs. New order: 1 Storefront, 2 Printers, 3 Templates, 4 Storage, 5 Copy, 6 Voice, 7 Test. Storefront and Printers are separate tabs, Templates comes right after Printers so product setup flows naturally, and the copy engine key lives in its own step instead of buried under Storage.
Copy generation is optional, and now it's obvious. The Copy step asks "Do you want ArtDrop to write your copy for you?" Pick Yes and paste your copy engine key. Pick No and set each field (title, description, SEO, alt text) to either Filename mode (the artwork's file name becomes the title) or Template mode (you define a reusable string). Core publishing to Shopify and every POD provider works identically either way.
EXIF camera data toggle. If your files carry camera, lens, ISO, shutter, or GPS metadata, ArtDrop can include it in Shopify listings as description text, hidden tags, or not at all. You pick. Default is Full, for a cleaner presentation switch to Tags only or Off.
Mac desktop app available. Signed and notarized by Apple. Download from /download or from the post-purchase email. The current Mac offer is a separate $399 lifetime license for up to two Macs; the hosted Web plan is $39 per month.
Shopify access token first. Paste your shpat_ admin API access token directly. No more Client ID and Client Secret fields up front. We hide the OAuth plumbing until you need it.
Live Printify pricing. When you pick a new Printify blueprint, ArtDrop fetches real production costs from Printify's API so the margin calculator reflects your actual variant prices.
Config round-trip. Download your setup as a JSON file, then reload it later or on a different device. Everything but the API keys travels with the file.
Accessibility & Polish
Bigger, consistent type. Every font size in the app now maps to a shared scale with a higher minimum. Small text is easier to read, and the whole app scales in lockstep.
Public Spanish pages. This release translated Contact, Disclaimer, Thanks, and the FAQ and added a language control to public navigation. It did not localize the private ArtDrop application interface.
Provider cost comparison. Side-by-side production cost table across 20 product categories. Printify live data, Gelato and Printful static estimates.
Security
Stricter content security work. This release migrated 155 inline event handlers to delegated listeners, tightening the content security policy across the app.
Login page in v1.0.1. At that time, sign-in used a license key with per-IP attempt limits. Current sign-in is passwordless: a magic-link email plus an optional passkey (Touch ID or Face ID).
Session-scoped file workspaces were introduced. Each session's uploads and generated files stay separate from every other session's.
v1.0.0 March 31, 2026 Launch
Core Pipeline
The launch pipeline joined the core steps. It connected image analysis, listing-field drafting, provider product creation, and store publishing, plus the social output supported at the time. Social output was later retired.
Three providers in one configured workflow. Gelato, Printful, and Printify were supported from launch. Exact products depend on compatible templates, provider responses, credentials, and the active destination; a provider failure can stop an individual product.
Shopify access-token setup at launch. The manual path used a Shopify Admin API token beginning with shpat_. Later releases added a guided authorization path.
Social publishing at launch was later retired. Pinterest and Bluesky worker integrations are no longer supported. Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Discord have no current customer workflow.
Voice Trainer. Teach ArtDrop your writing style in plain conversation. React to copy, "too flowery," "shorter," "never say that word", and it saves your rules. No forms, no prompts, no guesswork.
Web App
Hosted browser access. The web app runs in modern desktop, phone, and tablet browsers, no install required.
Add a browser shortcut to the home screen. On iPhone or Android you can save ArtDrop to your home screen for quick reopening.
Two purchase options. $39 per month covers the hosted web app in supported browsers. $399 once covers the native macOS app on up to two Macs. Connected services and Copy Engine usage follow their own current terms.
Retired assistant interface
Not in the current customer UI. Earlier releases described a contextual assistant. The rendered interface no longer includes that panel, its help button, or its keyboard shortcut. Use the current Docs and Help Center instead.
Roadmap published with v1.0.0
What the launch roadmap named, and where it landed. The March 2026 roadmap named WooCommerce and Etsy as storefront goals. WooCommerce was retired. Etsy shipped: as of July 2026, drops publish to Etsy for digital downloads directly and for physical print products through your Etsy-connected Printify shop or Gelato store.
Digital downloads were a launch-roadmap goal and are now live through Etsy.
Provider cost comparison shipped in v1.0.1. Any store insights read only your published product catalog, never your orders, customers, or revenue.
// Current public plans
$39/month Web or $399 lifetime Mac.
ArtDrop adds no per-product publishing fee. Copy Engine usage, additional stores, fulfillment providers, storage, marketplace fees, shipping, taxes, and other connected services remain separate.
