Changelog

Blaze Sentry on the web

Everything the app does, now in your browser, with the same account. Your alert areas, reports and conversations follow you between your phone and your computer.

• New

  The Blaze Sentry app, in your browser

  Sign in at blazesentry.org/app with the account you already use in the app: email, Google, or Apple. Report, Hotspots, Alerts, Sentry AI, and Settings are all there.

• New

  Report what you see from any computer

  Your location is filled in for you, or search for any address or landmark. Add a photo or a short video, and edit a report after you send it.

• New

  Hotspots and Alerts on a bigger screen

  The map centres on you with the reports nearby, and the Alerts list sits beside the alert you are reading, so you can go through them without losing your place.

• New

  Sentry AI on the web

  Ask safety questions, get risk predictions, or share a photo for Sentry AI to look at. Conversations are shared with the app.

• Improved

  Settings that stay in sync

  Change your alert areas, notifications, or profile on the web and your phone picks it up.

• Improved

  Choose where to log in

  Login on this site now asks whether you want the Blaze Sentry app or your organization’s dashboard.

Find any place, anywhere

Search for where something is happening now covers every country and finds landmarks, not only street addresses. No app update needed.

• Improved

  Address search covers every country

  Search used to look only in the US. It now finds addresses worldwide and puts places near you first.

• New

  Search for landmarks and places

  Stadiums, hospitals, stations, and other named places now show up in search, and a report at one is saved with its name, such as “Wembley Stadium, Wembley HA9 0WS”.

• Fixed

  Photos in Sentry AI

  Attaching a photo to Sentry AI could fail to upload. Photos now go through, so Sentry AI can look at what you are seeing.

A home of its own for the organization dashboard

The dashboard for teams and partners moved to its own address. Nothing to change on your side.

• Improved

  The dashboard is at dashboard.blazesentry.org

  Organizations sign in at dashboard.blazesentry.org, with shorter page addresses. Old links, bookmarks, and invitation emails still work and take you to the right page.

Blaze Sentry is on Google Play

The app is now on Android, and every download link on the site sends you to the store that matches your device.

• New

  Android app on Google Play

  Blaze Sentry is available on Google Play, alongside the existing iPhone app.

• Improved

  Download links now match your device

  Every download button routes through the download page, which sends iPhones to the App Store and Android phones to Google Play. Laptops and tablets get a page with both.

• Fixed

  Android visitors no longer land on the App Store

  Download links pointed at the iOS listing for everyone, which was a dead end for anyone on Android.

A changelog, and a refreshed reading experience

Everything we ship now has a public home. Articles got a redesign and a fresh set of pieces to go with it.

• New

  This changelog

  Releases, improvements, and fixes in one place. Entries are written alongside the code that ships them, so this page stays current. Product announcements still get the long-form treatment over in Articles.

• New

  Latest articles now surface on the homepage

  The three most recent pieces appear on the landing page instead of being buried behind a nav link.

• Improved

  Redesigned the articles index

  The newest piece gets a featured treatment, cards carry a clearer hierarchy, and keyboard focus is finally visible on every card.

• Fixed

  Article publish dates are now authored, not generated

  Dates were previously stamped whenever the content was last deployed, which made every article appear to have been published on the same day. They are now explicit and deterministic.

Clearer policies, a better footer

• Improved

  Privacy and Terms support inline links

  Cross-references between the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are now real links rather than plain text.

• Improved

  Footer picked up social links and a tighter layout

• Improved

  Refreshed the social preview image

  Links shared to X and Slack now render with updated artwork and accurate alt text.

Teams, invites, and domain controls

The groundwork for running Blaze Sentry across an organization rather than a single account.

• New

  Admin console for licensed organizations

  Manage licensed organizations and the domains registered against them, without dropping into the database.

• New

  Domain validation on invites and sign-up

  Invitations and new accounts are checked against an organization’s registered domains, so access stays scoped to people who actually work there.

• Improved

  Sidebar navigation groups dashboard and admin destinations

• Improved

  Consistent page titles and headers across the dashboard

A calmer walkthrough

• Improved

  Rebuilt the how-it-works walkthrough

  Fewer moving parts, a clearer progression from signal to alert to response.

• Improved

  Refreshed the articles index layout and animations

• Fixed

  Corrected the dashboard demo video and poster sources

  The walkthrough was falling back to a stale poster frame on slow connections.

Policies published, marketing chrome rebuilt

• New

  Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

  Read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

• Improved

  Navigation adapts to landing, subpage, and legal contexts

  The navbar and footer now carry distinct treatments depending on where you are, instead of one layout stretched across every page.

• Improved

  Reworked the hero and features sections

Article publishing pipeline

• New

  Articles can be published and updated from version control

  Content lives alongside the code that renders it, which means edits are reviewable and publishing is repeatable.

Navigation feedback and steadier deploys

• New

  Navigation progress indicator

  A thin progress bar during route changes, so slower pages no longer feel like a dead click.

• Fixed

  Progress bar no longer fires on in-page anchor links

• Fixed

  Base64-encoded service credentials are now supported

  Removes a class of escaping bugs that made deploys fail depending on how the key was stored.

Articles, and a rebuilt sign-in

The blog placeholder became a real publication, and the authentication pages were redesigned from scratch.

• New

  Articles replace the old blog placeholder

  Category filtering, reactions, and per-article pages. Browse them here.

• New

  Redesigned login and sign-up

  A full-page split layout with an interactive globe, replacing the previous single-column form.

• Improved

  Navbar tracks the active section as you scroll
