Welcome to the ButterPass changelog! Here you'll find a detailed history of all updates, new features, improvements, and bug fixes. We're committed to continuously improving your experience with ButterPass.
iOS v2026.9.9LATEST
September 2026
🐛 Fixes
Passes that showed only their number on Apple Watch now show a real barcode. If a pass was saved with a barcode type its number doesn't fit — common for cards imported from another app — the watch couldn't draw it and fell back to printing the digits. Your iPhone now sends a ready-to-scan barcode for those passes.
The barcode stays on screen when you turn your wrist to the scanner. Apple Watch dims its display when your wrist drops, and the code was being hidden for privacy at exactly the moment you needed it readable. Your PIN and balance are still hidden while the screen is dimmed.
iOS v2026.8.1FIRST RELEASE
August 28, 2026
✨ New Features
ButterPass comes to iPhone and Apple Watch. Your loyalty, gift and membership cards, on your phone and mirrored to your wrist
Scan a card once and it is ready at the till — barcode, PIN, balance and expiry in one place
Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with widgets and complications for the passes you use most
Moving from Android? Your .bpass backup imports as-is, cards and photos intact
No accounts, no cloud, no tracking without consent. Your wallet stays on your device and moves only in files you share yourself
Free, with an optional one-time Premium that removes ads and lifts the watch sync limit

Drag-to-reorder works when some passes are hidden
Rotating the phone no longer closes an open sheet or dialog
