Original release notes
This update gives Steward a new look, built on CanoSoftware's design system — the same one across all my apps now. Nothing about how you use Steward changed; it's the same app, redrawn with more consistent type, spacing, and color throughout. It also introduces Steward Pro. Two features move behind a one-time $9.99 purchase: iCloud sync across your devices, and Share This Home, which lets you invite a partner or co-owner into your household record. Everything else — task tracking, appliance and warranty logging, room details, vendor contacts, emergency info — stays free, with no limits. If you were already using iCloud sync or Share This Home before this update, you keep both for free, permanently. Thanks for being an early user. Steward Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. There's nothing to renew and nothing to cancel.
