What shipped.
Release by release.

The Mac app is no longer offered for purchase. Existing Mac licenses keep working, and license holders can still download the Mac app. ArtDrop Web stays at $39 per month.

Products added from the Gelato catalog now count on the Printers step. Setup accepts them and lets you continue.

Setup checks your Shopify store connection before you continue. If the check fails, setup explains why in plain words.

The setup screen says a print provider account is needed to finish setup. Connect Gelato, Printful or Printify to complete it.

A first drop that fails before any product is created returns your free demo drop. The failure message says what to fix and stays visible after a reload.

The Printers step of the setup wizard now saves reliably. Your choices are kept when you skip a print provider or type its keys during setup.

Pinterest sandbox boards stay out of the board picker after a restart. A board refused as a sandbox board is not offered again.

A refused Pin no longer shows as ready. Its review card leaves the ready state, so it is clear the Pin was not published.

Saving right after training a brand voice no longer warns about another tab. Settings and products save without a "changed in another tab" message when only one tab is open.

If a save is refused right after training a brand voice, the page now says so. Your trained values are kept.

You can dismiss a failed copy item from the Copy and Data page. Dismissing hides the item and keeps its history. It does not retry or publish anything.

The storage step lists the five supported choices. Send files straight to your print provider, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Dropbox or Google Drive.

An upload over 3 GB, including a demo upload, is refused with a clear message. No files are accepted, and the message says how to try again.

When a product image does not fit a social channel's size or format rules, ArtDrop now prepares a fitting copy for the post. The review shows you that exact image.

Pinterest direct publishing is available in Beta from Social Publishing. Step 1 of Social Publishing shows a Pinterest card with the connection status, a BETA badge and a button to the reviewed publishing step. Every Pin needs a review and a separate publish click.

Only live products can be picked for a Pin. Drafts are marked not live yet. The Pin description is prefilled from the product and is required.

The board list and the product list load independently. If boards do not load, a Retry button tries again, and a recent board list stays available while Pinterest is slow.

A Pin refused for a Pinterest sandbox board says so in plain words, and the board picker sets that board aside for the rest of the visit.

Additional app translations are prepared for review. The current customer app remains in English while translated interfaces complete review.

Review copy before publishing is off by default. When on, every drop pauses after ArtDrop prepares the listing copy and assembles its product tags so you can read, edit, and approve the copy before anything is published. When off, ArtDrop publishes automatically.

Social Publishing in the sidebar opens Social Studio directly. The page is headed Social Publishing and shows your connected accounts, live products, the review step and recent posts. Notes that belong only to first-run setup no longer appear after setup.

Saved connections sits at the bottom of Social Studio. A Pinterest board connection ArtDrop still holds can be checked and removed there, one store at a time, even while direct board posting is unavailable.

Sign-in pages use the app's sans typography. The magic link and passkey pages now share the dashboard type stack.

Hosted connection credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Masking in browser views and filtering in downloads remain separate disclosure controls. Treat every exported settings file as sensitive. See credential safety.

Browser uploads and multistore fan-out now have bounded retries. ArtDrop can try a safe upload again while leaving completed stores alone. If a result is uncertain, it stops so you can check the provider or storefront before creating a duplicate. See multi-store scheduling.

Hosted Web release cadence continues without an open dashboard or signed-in browser. ArtDrop starts due store releases and paced batches in the background. Keep the Mac app running for Mac schedules. See batch scheduling.

Regenerate now uses the exact artwork bound to the product. It creates fresh draft copy in the Products editor before Save, uses the original store and product-line copy context, and leaves the result unsaved for review. Managed Regenerate consumes one managed copy credit; your own provider key, once configured, uses the BYO path. Regenerate is generation, not chat. Product tags are also editable for Shopify and Etsy, and Save sends the validated replacement tag set to the selected Shopify or Etsy storefront. See the Products editor guide.

Etsy-only onboarding is a complete digital publishing path. Connect Etsy and supported storage to publish digital downloads without Shopify or a print provider. Physical Etsy products use your Etsy-connected Gelato or Printify store. See the Etsy guide.

Mac lifetime and Hosted Web entitlements are separate. A Mac lifetime license does not include Hosted Web access. Hosted Web requires its own active Web subscription. See plan comparison.

Pinterest Product Pins through Shopify are live. Shopify's official Pinterest sales channel carries the catalog and sends shoppers back to Shopify for checkout. Direct organic Pin posting is not included. See Pinterest Product Pins setup.

Direct Web billing opens in Stripe again. A signed-in direct Web subscriber can choose Manage billing to open Stripe for the active subscription. If Stripe does not open or the account state is uncertain after returning, stop and contact support before retrying. See billing and account data.

The Products editor can draft fresh copy and update tags. Rewrite with ArtDrop uses the artwork, store voice, and product-line settings for the selected product. Review the draft before saving it. Managed rewriting uses one copy credit; your own provider key uses that provider account. Saving tags replaces the tag list on the selected Shopify or Etsy product. See the Products editor guide.

Provider publishing recovery is live on the accepted production routes. Gelato and Printify can create supported Shopify or Etsy listings. Printful creates a product in your Native or Manual Order/API store for you to review and manage there. See the store and provider results guide.

Etsy can be the included first store. Connect Etsy and supported storage to publish digital downloads without Shopify or a print provider. Physical products use your Etsy-connected Printify or Gelato store. Shopify Files does not store Etsy downloads, and Printful creates products in Printful instead of publishing them to Etsy. See the Etsy guide.

Multistore fan-out and per-store cadence are live. Every selected store keeps its own writing style, products, connection, and release time. A problem in one store does not stop the others. Hosted Web starts due releases without an open browser; keep the Mac app running for Mac schedules. See the multi-store scheduling guide.

Send one artwork to multiple stores at once. In Storefront, under Your Stores, check the shops under Publish drops to. Each store uses its own trained voice, product choices, and provider connection. One store can finish as a live listing, another as a draft, and a Printful store finishes with the product in Printful.

Give each store its own release time. Choose now or a delay of up to 30 days for every selected store. Hosted Web starts due releases while the browser is closed. Keep the Mac app running for Mac schedules. 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.

Four MWW On Demand fabric bases are available through Printify. Combed Cotton Prima, Spun Polyester, Faux Linen, and Cotton Twill can be configured as Fabric by the Yard products.

Mirror repeat is live. ArtDrop turns one finished artwork into a Mirror repeat for supported Printify fabric products.

Prove the physical result. Inspect every selected cut and order a swatch before selling a new fabric product. The Fabric by the Yard guide explains the panel workflow and its limits.

Additional stores use the published ladder. Up to 25 stores per account. Your first store is included. See Pricing for current added-store prices.

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 announcement bar rotates among five current feature notes, one note and one link per page load.

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.

Direct Etsy digital publishing is available. Choose an Etsy shop and supported B2, R2, Dropbox, or Google Drive storage. If a file upload fails, check the Etsy listing and storage service before trying again.

Physical print products use an exact connected provider destination. Choose an Etsy-connected Printify shop or Gelato Studio store. Review the finished product in both the provider and Etsy before selling.

Etsy can now be your first store. Connect Etsy and supported storage to publish digital downloads without Shopify or a print provider. Physical products use your Etsy-connected Gelato or Printify store.

Paste an image to drop it. Copy artwork and press Cmd+V on the dashboard to start a drop without opening the file picker. On phones and tablets, choose the artwork with the file picker.

Live Log follows every artwork while it is processing. It shows the selected store and provider as the artwork moves from upload to its product or listing.

Space a group of artworks out over time. Publish them now or choose 1, 2, 5, or 10 artworks per day, or about 1 per hour. Hosted Web starts scheduled work without an open browser. On Mac, keep the app running. CSV or XLSX sheets can set copy, store, and product line for each artwork.

Multiple stores are live. Each store keeps its own storefront connection, provider destination, voice, product lines, and templates. Account-level POD API keys are shared across all stores. Other store identity, naming, tags, and listing settings remain store-specific.

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. A store can contain up to 50 product lines.

Incomplete store details stop that store. Choose the destination in Drop Zone or name the store and optional line in a sheet or JSON file. ArtDrop does not send the work to another store when those details are missing or wrong.

Copy settings can move without credentials. Copying settings to another store includes its voice and product lines while leaving account connections in place. If another edit was saved first, ArtDrop asks you to reload before trying again.

Additional-store pricing is active. Up to 25 stores per account. Your first store is included. See Pricing for current added-store prices.

Current Mac artifact identity. The downloadable Mac artifact is v1.0.2, released April 28, 2026, with SHA-256 7b87d6176237371b64dad44ec4ade0dae9f23357bf0b0a41861cf62f0d146c97. Later dated Hosted Web updates do not change this binary.

In v1.0.2, the setup wizard used four steps. Storefront, Storage, Printers, and Copy were the sequence in that release.

The current Hosted Web app shows five setup sections. Storefront, Storage, Printers, Social, and Copy are visible. Social posting controls are unavailable in the current customer release. Pinterest Product Pins remain available through Shopify's official Pinterest sales channel.

Shopify connection setup improved. ArtDrop is available in the Shopify App Store. Install it there and connect the shop you want to use. Direct ArtDrop customers can follow the guided Shopify connection steps in Storefront.

B2 setup checks every required field. The wizard prompts you to complete any missing B2 setting before continuing.

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 lives under Copy and Data. Give it supported writing files, a website URL, or your Store Identity fields. Review the suggested rules, adjust them, and choose Save.

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.

Safer copy defaults. A small always-on never-use list asks the ArtDrop system to avoid profanity, slurs, and similar terms regardless of your voice training. The never-use list is a system instruction, not a deterministic output filter. Review generated copy and edit anything that does not fit your work or audience.

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.

Settings backups support account recovery. Treat every settings file as sensitive. After restoring one, re-enter credentials and test each store, provider, and storage connection.

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. Choose generated copy or supply your own titles, descriptions, SEO fields, and alt text through filenames or reusable templates. Product publishing remains available either way.

EXIF camera data toggle. If your files carry camera, lens, ISO, or shutter 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. A Mac license covers up to two Macs and is separate from the hosted Web plan, which 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.

Settings backups support account recovery. Treat every settings backup as sensitive. Re-enter credentials and verify each connected destination after a restore.

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.

Historical v1.0.1 description. At release, this note described a side-by-side production cost table across 20 product categories, with Printify live data and Gelato and Printful static estimates.

Provider Cost Comparison today. Compare base-cost references from your connected print providers and saved Printify templates. Rows identify the reference product and cost source, and the table shows the last lookup time. Refresh requests updated provider references; saved template costs keep their saved values. Confirm final costs, including shipping and other charges, with the provider.

Browser security improved. This release strengthened the app's content security controls.

Sign-in is now passwordless. Use an email sign-in link, then add an optional passkey with Touch ID or Face ID.

Hosted files stay with the signed-in account. The same account can return in a later browser session and continue with its own uploads, scheduled work, and processing files.

The launch workflow joined the core steps. It connected image analysis, listing writing, provider product creation, and store publishing.

Three print providers in one workflow. Connect Gelato, Printful, and Printify, then choose the products and variants available to your account.

Shopify connection setup improved. Later releases added guided connection steps to the original access-token setup.

Social posting controls are unavailable in the current customer release. Pinterest Product Pins remain available through Shopify's official Pinterest sales channel.

Voice Trainer. After at least one image-copy refinement, choose Sounds like me, review the extracted rules, save the checked rules, and wait for the success response.

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.

Hosted Web and Mac licenses. $39 per month covers the hosted web app in supported browsers. A Mac license covers the native macOS app on up to two Macs. Connected services and Copy Engine usage follow their own current terms.
