February 2025 Product Updates

Kaitlyn Jarnagin — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 17:44:13 +0000

What We’re Working On Each quarter, our engineers spend the first two weeks prioritizing “potholes” – updates, improvements, and bug fixes that might slip through the cracks with all the other projects they’re working on. This includes updating other open-source software and libraries that Permanent depends on and improvements that help to create a better code environment for our engineers. Our engineering team worked on some of those improvements in January and has now shifted gears to our larger projects. It might seem like there are fewer visible changes this month on Permanent, but that’s only because there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work happening! Read on for some projects we’re focused on and a few ...

Preserve Your Holiday or Event on the Go with the Permanent Mobile Apps

Kaitlyn Jarnagin — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 17:08:36 +0000

With the launch of our new iOS and Android mobile apps, it’s easier than ever to preserve your memories from a special vacation, a holiday, a birthday, an anniversary, or a family reunion. We created the Permanent mobile apps because we know that you’re already using your mobile device to capture special moments and memories. We wanted to make it even easier for you to preserve those photos and videos from your summer vacation, your grandchild’s birthday party, your Memorial Day gathering, or your family reunion on your phone and on the go.
