2.1​

Released October 30, 2026

Yucts for Mac 2.1 adds a public holiday calendar for Japan and Taiwan, holiday alerts for your trips, a new member card and richer check-ins, plus many improvements from iPhone versions 3.0.1 and 3.0.2.

New

  • Holiday calendar for Japan and Taiwan: month and year views, the next holiday and long weekends. Click any day to see details and data sources
  • Local holidays for your trips: based on the time zones of your stops and bookings, see the public holidays and long weekends during your trip
  • Comment on, react to and repost check-ins, and choose how much of your location to show: exact, city, region or hidden
  • A new member card with a QR code to your public profile. Flip it with the keyboard, share or copy the link, or export it as an image
  • Festival Dock icons: during Japanese or Taiwanese festivals, the running app's Dock icon switches to a limited design
  • Ten original YUCTS notification sounds, with previews, chosen per device
  • Home now greets you with today's date
  • The user guide follows your language and works offline; system status shows which services are affected
  • The quiet-hours time zone in push preferences can now be any time zone worldwide, with search
  • New threads start with the board's default prefix

Improved

  • About sections and signatures on member profiles keep their formatting
  • Clicking an author opens them in Authors, without stacking extra windows
  • Add the source and license when uploading check-in photos
  • Trip invite links are handled in the app instead of the browser
  • Trip PDF amounts are rounded and show custom category names
  • Clear messages when an account is security-locked or out of two-step verification attempts
  • New installs start in Japanese; change it in System Settings > General > Language & Region > Applications (updates keep your current language)

Fixed

  • Trip recaps no longer double-count expenses, and bill splitting no longer treats foreign currency as TWD
  • Reminders now use local time zones
  • System status no longer reports outages by mistake
  • Stability and polish improvements

2.0​

Released October 24, 2026

Yucts for Mac 2.0 is a full redesign of the native Mac app, released alongside version 3.0 for iPhone and iPad.

New

  • Six languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese
  • Import travel info: choose or drag in boarding pass images, PDFs, and calendar files (.ics), processed on your Mac
  • Local time zones for stops and bookings, so flights across time zones show the right times
  • Set a transport mode for each leg in the planner
  • Festival themes that apply during holidays and switch back afterward, without overriding a theme you picked
  • New threads support prefixes, tags, polls, and attachments
  • Forum identity badges; follow members from their profile
  • Account Security: manage signed-in devices and passkeys
  • YUCTS website and forum links open the matching screen in the app
  • Forum Media and Resources: browse media, albums, and resource descriptions, updates, reviews, and versions
  • Member leaderboards and today's birthdays

Improved

  • A new native design system with 10 free themes and 5 Yucts Plus themes, plus better Dark Mode and contrast; widgets follow your theme
  • The Travel Hub is now built around your trips, with the map and timeline side by side and day filters
  • Redesigned stop and booking editors; unchanged fields are never overwritten
  • Articles use the same native layout as iPhone, with a table of contents, author card, and labels for sponsored content
  • Category pages show region overviews
  • Redesigned Authors page: browse by category or search, with cards that fit the window width and, in wide windows, a preview of each author's profile and latest articles
  • The forum switches between two and three columns based on window width and keeps board hierarchy
  • Links to YUCTS articles and forum threads in private messages show preview cards
  • The AI assistant searches our articles and forum more accurately and cites sources
  • Forum uploads: photos are re-encoded; videos and PDFs have location and author metadata removed
  • The purchase screen now includes renewal terms and Terms of Use links
  • Signing out clears member caches

Fixed

  • Command-K search returned no results
  • Deleting a trip now checks iCloud and collaboration status first, and also removes its expenses, photos, and bookings
  • Blog articles in Deals now open in the app instead of your browser
  • Forum, destination, message, and AI panes now resize proportionally with the window
  • Opening a YUCTS link no longer opens a second window
  • Fewer duplicate network requests in Deals and Chat, plus other display and stability fixes
