Version 1.2

July 2026
  • First public release — welcome! Rug Hook Studio is now available for Mac and Windows.
  • License activation added, with a Get-a-License link right in the app.
  • The API key box now accepts right-click → Paste.

Version 1.1

July 2026
  • New: Artwork mode ("Source is artwork") — starting from a collage, painting, or fiber piece instead of a photo? A two-step generation keeps the original's surface from fighting the wool texture.
  • Smarter colour palettes: small bright areas (like yellow leaves against a big tan subject) now keep their true colour instead of drifting muddy.
  • Colour sliders now re-apply live to your latest generation — no new API call, no waiting.

Version 1.0

June 2026
  • Photo → hooked-rug preview via Google's Gemini image models.
  • Yarn loops or traditional cloth strips (1/8", 1/4", 3/8" cuts), adjustable loop size, relief, and background calm.
  • Limited wool palette (4–40 colours) with live colour punch, plus remove-background and backing colour options.
