--- title: "Minipaper Release Notes" description: "Every Minipaper update since launch, newest first." url: https://minipaper.app/release-notes --- # Minipaper release notes ## Version 6.0 (2026-09-14) Minipaper is a real iPad app now. Not a stretched phone app: browse gets a proper sidebar, the skeuomorphic styles sit at their true size in the middle of the canvas instead of being pulled wide, and the control panels sit where your hands are. Everything you already made on iPhone is waiting there. The app also speaks 11 new languages: Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic. Three new styles arrive with this update and over the two weeks after it. **Calendar** is here today. A month grid or a week of columns laid over a photo or a flat colour, in five overlay designs. Connect Apple Calendar and your real events fill the grid, or leave it disconnected and keep it blank. Page to any month or week you like, with no "today" marker you didn't ask for. **Polka** lands in a week, free for everyone. Dots you set the size and spacing of yourself, in macaron palettes, with a heart in place of the circle if you want one. **Prism** lands two weeks out. Light bent through a solid: choose the prism, cube, sphere, slab, capsule or ring, then choose how the colour splits across it. Plus the usual polish and stability improvements. https://minipaper.app/release-notes/v6-0-0 ## Version 5.6.0 (2026-08-24) Stickers — put anything on your wallpaper. Start from the RetroTech pack or a curated set of SF Symbols, type your own with text and emoji, or drop in a photo and watch subject isolation lift it off the background. Drag, pinch and rotate to place them, resize from the corners with haptic detents, then finish with a white border or a holographic foil. Select several at once, copy a layout from one design to another, or hit sticker-bomb and let them scatter. Everything you make is saved to Mine, ready to use again. Also new: the init style, a free collab with init.Habits, and screen-edge corners that follow your device's real display radius. Plus the usual polish and stability improvements. https://minipaper.app/release-notes/v5-6-0 ## Version 5.5.0 (2026-08-19) New iPod wallpaper style — the click-wheel classic, full-bleed on your screen. The off-white LCD sits at the top, right where your Lock Screen clock lands, so the whole phone reads as the player showing the time. Six anodized presets: silver, black, blue, pink, green, and a well-loved gold. Set your own body, wheel, and screen colors, add texture to the LCD, and dial pocket wear from pristine to scratched — re-roll any time for a fresh scratch pattern. Plus the usual polish and stability improvements. https://minipaper.app/release-notes/v5-5-0 ## Version 5.4.0 (2026-07-20) New Tide wallpaper style — slow, refracted light drifting across deep water, like the bottom of a pool at dusk. Choose between Cells, Waves, and Pearls shimmer shapes, tune the glow, density, and colors, and export it as a Live Photo that moves on your Lock Screen. Plus the usual polish and stability improvements. https://minipaper.app/release-notes/v5-4-0 ## Version 5.3.0 (2026-06-13) New Vinyl wallpaper style.
