Changelog

Every version, newest first.

All notable changes to PocketResume. The version number matches manifest.json → version. Latest release: v8.6. Full history lives in CHANGELOG.md.

v8.6

Added

  • Free and Pro plans. Free (free_user) includes resume cloud sync on every device. Pro (pocketresume_pro) adds the full Job Tracker and Form Filler.
  • Launch promo trial (Sep 27 – Oct 31). Any free-plan subscriber gets the Job Tracker, Form Filler, and cloud sync free during the window. Signed-out users are prompted to create a free account.
  • Prominent, always-visible account card at the top of Settings (offer badge + bulleted features + Create free account / See Pro plans / Sign in), and an account button in the popup header.
  • Bulleted feature lists in every upgrade card (popup, Settings, Job Tracker lock banner).
  • Dedicated Clerk sign-up entry point for "Create free account".

Changed

  • Replaced the buried avatar dropdown with clear subscribe buttons.
  • Job Tracker gating now uses Pro access + the promo window instead of a 30-day per-user trial.
  • "Push Local to Cloud" / "Restore from Cloud" only appear when signed in.
  • Added secondary button color roles: blue = parallel action, green = confirm/apply, red = destructive (orange stays primary).
