Firmware and Operating System Changelog
New features and bug fixes can take hours or weeks. If you don't see anything recent below, it means we're actively working on them. Below is a list of live updates:
For app updates, see the SPACE Mobile App Changelog.
Safe Version 0.4.31 - August 15, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where a safe with a deeply flat battery that would not take charge could stay dark and unresponsive while plugged in, until its battery was physically disconnected. It now stops waiting after about 5 minutes without charging progress and carries on with startup.
- Fixed a bug where a safe could stay on the charging screen indefinitely, for example when plugged into a USB port too weak to charge it. After 30 minutes on the charging screen, the safe now restarts and tries again instead of waiting forever.
- Fixed a bug where a safe on the charging screen could switch itself off, leaving it dark until it was unplugged and plugged back in. It now keeps charging, and if the charging screen hits an internal problem the safe restarts and goes back to charging instead of switching off.
- Added: if the safe is powered with no battery connected, it now shows a 'Battery not detected' screen and waits, instead of starting up without its battery. As soon as a battery is connected, it carries on starting up by itself.
- Fixed a bug where the safe could show a black screen for several seconds while starting up, instead of the branded "Please wait" screen.
- Added: if the safe is plugged into a power source too weak to run it (such as a computer or printer USB port), it now shows a "Not enough power" screen instead of going black or sitting on "Please wait" while the battery drains.
- Added: the safe's recovery screen now shows its serial number under the title, so if a safe ever cannot start normally, our support team can tell exactly which safe it is.
Safe Version 0.4.30 - July 31, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where the charging screen could freeze and stay black if one of its pictures could not be unpacked. The screen no longer hangs in that case.
- Improved: security hardening (under the hood). The safe's lowest-level startup software is now built and signed with SpaceSafe's own security keys throughout.
Space OS update: v0.4.30
- Fixed a bug where Space OS could freeze and be closed by the system after the safe sat idle for several days, caused by false signals from the fingerprint reader on some safes.
- Fixed a bug where, if the safe lost power while it was locking, the mobile app could keep treating the closed safe as open and send door left open alerts. After a restart, Space OS now tells the cloud that the door is closed.
- Fixed a bug where restarting the safe threw away events that were still waiting to be sent to the cloud, such as the door being opened or closed, so the mobile app never received them.
- Fixed a bug where the exterior lights came back on after the safe charged up from a low battery and then stayed on until someone touched the screen. They now follow your light setting again, turning off after 45 seconds by default.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode of Space OS where the verification code for a guest's phone number was sometimes never sent, because the safe wrongly believed it was offline.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode of Space OS, the Next arrow on the guest phone number screen now turns into a spinner while the verification code is being sent.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode of Space OS, the Forgot PIN button on the Settings login screen no longer stays on screen by itself over the incorrect PIN message. It now hides and comes back together with the owner's profile.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where, if a guest left the phone number screen while the verification code was still being sent, the Next arrow could stop working until Space OS restarted.
Safe Version 0.4.29 - July 29, 2026
Firmware update:
- Improved: security hardening (under the hood). Every time the safe starts up, it now checks that its system software is genuine using SpaceSafe's own verification key.
- Added: a new charging screen. When a safe with a flat battery is plugged in, it now shows an animated Space Safe spaceman with a live 'Currently: X%' battery reading and a note that the safe will turn on by itself once it reaches 3%, replacing the plain stock battery picture.
Space OS update: v0.4.29
- Fixed a bug where a healthy safe could occasionally fail to confirm that its bolts had locked and ask "Did your safe door lock?" by mistake.
- Fixed a bug where tapping quickly past the last digit while creating a new PIN could run the confirm step, or show the PIN warning popup, twice.
- Fixed: the "Opened in" time shown after the safe opens now reflects how long the bolts actually took to open, about half a second on a healthy safe, instead of always reading about 0.2 seconds.
- Improved: Forgot PIN in Space OS now runs inside the safe's main screens instead of switching over to the setup screens, so the safe stays fully connected and protected while you reset your PIN. A wrong security answer now shows a clear message at the top of the screen, and while you type your answer the inactivity timer stays visible above the keyboard and restarts with every key press.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the home screen now shows subtle Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links at the bottom that open the documents. Previously these links sat off the bottom of the screen and did nothing when tapped.
Safe Version 0.4.28 - July 22, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where the charging screen, shown when a safe with a flat battery is plugged in, went dark after about 6 seconds and stayed dark, which made the safe look dead while it charged. The screen now stays on until the safe starts up.
- Improved: security hardening (under the hood). The apps built into the safe's operating system are now signed with SpaceSafe's own keys.
- Fixed a bug where the battery gauge counted the safe's power use at twice the real rate, so the battery percentage could drop faster than the battery was really draining.
Space OS update: v0.4.28
- Fixed a bug where tapping a question in Settings → Users → PIN Recovery could freeze the screen until it gave up 30 minutes later.
- Fixed a bug where tapping a PIN recovery question that was already in use could open a different question. The safe now tells you that question is already used.
- Fixed: after a wrong answer in Forgot PIN starts the 24-hour wait, logging in successfully with your PIN or fingerprint now ends the wait. Previously only logging in with an authenticator app ended it.
- Improved: Safe Name, Change PIN, the Panic PIN emergency contact, and the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages in Settings now open right inside Settings, without a loading screen in between, and the safe stays fully connected while you use them.
Safe Version 0.4.27 - July 21, 2026
Firmware update:
- Improved: if an app on the safe stops responding, the 'not responding' popup now closes by itself as soon as the app recovers. If nobody taps it within 15 seconds, or the app is still stuck 45 seconds after someone taps Wait, the frozen app is closed and the safe returns to Space OS.
- Added: the firmware can now run the lock motor at reduced power instead of only full power. This lets Space OS ease off the motor partway through locking, so an older battery is less likely to dip low enough to switch the safe off.
- Improved: security hardening (under the hood) for the safe's USB port.
Space OS update: v0.4.27
- Improved: stronger privacy for the safe's diagnostic records. Personal and security details are now hidden before any diagnostic information is stored or sent, and the safe sends less diagnostic data to our servers.
Safe Version 0.4.26 - July 19, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where some safes charged their battery a little above the battery maker's rated full-charge voltage. Charging now stops at the rated level, which is gentler on the battery.
- Changed: the recovery screen now carries the SPACE name (SPACE Recovery), and it no longer dims or goes blank while showing, since the safe has no button to wake it.
- Improved: added a backup safeguard in the firmware so the screen can't time out and turn off while the safe is plugged in, even if Space OS's own keep-awake setting is lost. The safe has no button to wake a sleeping screen.
Space OS update: v0.4.26
- Improved: tapping to wake the screen from display-off is now instant. Previously the safe took a few seconds to rebuild the home or lock screen, and the screen could stutter while it did.
- Fixed a bug where the flashing "DOOR LEFT OPEN" title on the alert stopped animating if the screen went to sleep and woke up again while the alert was showing.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where the exterior light strip could stay lit after the screen turned off, when the lights were set to turn off after 45 seconds.
Safe Version 0.4.25 - July 16, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where a safe with an empty battery could show 100% right after it was plugged in and started up, then switch off soon after. The safe now starts from its last saved battery level instead of being fooled by the charger.
- Improved: the popups that appear when an app stops or stops responding now sit centered over a dimmed screen, and the light grey notches that used to show around their rounded corners are gone.
Space OS update: v0.4.25
- Fixed a bug where a safe could keep a temporary serial number from its very first start and then never be able to connect to the mobile app, even after a hard reset. The safe now checks its real serial number every time it starts.
- Improved: if the safe cannot be registered with our servers while you connect it to the mobile app, it now leaves the QR code screen and shows a clear message with the safe's serial number and "Contact Support". Previously the screen kept showing a QR code that could never work and blamed Wi-Fi even when Wi-Fi was fine.
- Fixed a bug where Space OS could restart when the inactivity timer ran out while a setup "please wait" popup was still open.
- Fixed: the four volume sliders in Settings → System → Sounds now change the volume smoothly across their whole range, up to the loudest level your safe allows. Previously the Door Left Open and Tamper & Lockdown sliders played at nearly the same volume for almost every position, and the Keypad and Two-way Talk Speaker sliders jumped to full volume just past the start.
- Added: the four volume sliders in Settings → System → Sounds now play their sound while you drag them, so you can hear the level as you adjust it. Previously you only heard it after lifting your finger.
- Fixed: the Door Left Open volume preview now plays at the same loudness as the real alert. Previously it played quieter than the alert near the bottom of the slider.
- Fixed: after a successful fingerprint scan, the fingerprint ring now turns green right away and stays green for the full 2 seconds. Previously it went dark for more than half a second before the green appeared, and the green was cut short. The red ring after a failed scan also appears sooner.
- Improved: the exterior light strip now uses the Space brand blue as its default color instead of plain blue. If you already picked a color, your choice is kept.
- Improved: the bolt motor now stops as soon as the bolts are fully in place instead of running for a fixed time, and if a bolt sensor stops working the motor stops after a few seconds instead of about 12.
- Added: when your safe has switched to timed lock or timed open, Settings → Security shows "Run motor and re-check the bolt sensor". Tapping it tests the bolts and locks the safe again, and if the sensor works again normal locking returns; an info button explains the option.
- Added: a bolt sensor failsafe for locking. If the safe can't confirm its bolts locked, it asks "Did your safe door lock?" with the Door Left Open light and sound: No runs the motor again, and Yes switches the safe to a timed lock that still counts as locked for tamper protection and Door Left Open alerts.
- Changed: Settings → Display no longer shows the Custom and Auto brightness choice. The brightness slider still works as before.
- Fixed a bug where, with Space OS's new bolt motor control, the bolts could stop short or barely move instead of fully locking or opening. The bolts now travel all the way.
- Improved: when a faulty bolt sensor has switched your safe to timed lock, Space OS now reports the locked safe as closed to the SPACE mobile app instead of open.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Added: a "The door is already locked" button on the "door cannot lock" screen, in both normal mode and Single Entry Mode. If a faulty bolt sensor keeps the safe from confirming the lock, you can confirm it yourself and carry on instead of being stuck on that screen.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, the "Lock and end Session" caption on the welcome screen now fits on two lines instead of wrapping onto three.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, if the safe can't confirm it locked when a guest taps to leave, it asks the guest about it and then completes the checkout, so a departing guest is not left stuck at the safe.
- Added: the same bolt sensor failsafe when opening. If the safe can't confirm its bolts opened, it asks "Did your safe open?" and can switch to a timed open, so a faulty sensor no longer holds up opening. In Single Entry Mode, guests are asked to let the front desk know instead of contacting support.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the PIN dots and number pad on the create PIN and confirm PIN screens now sit lower, so the screens look better balanced.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6.9
- Improved: the Reboot Now button on the updater's last screen, and the two buttons on its restart confirmation popup, are now the same size as the safe's other buttons instead of slightly oversized.
Safe Version 0.4.23 - July 13, 2026
Space OS update: v0.4.23
- Fixed a bug where using camera live view after the safe had been sitting idle for a while could restart Space OS.
Safe Version 0.4.22 - July 13, 2026
Firmware update:
- Improved: the battery percentage is more accurate. The firmware now uses the real capacity and charge curve of each safe model's battery pack instead of a generic profile for a much smaller battery.
- Fixed a bug where a brief glitch in the battery connection could leave the battery percentage wrong until the battery was reconnected. The safe now notices the battery coming back and corrects the reading by itself.
- Added: when a safe with an almost empty battery (below 3%) is plugged in, it now shows a charging screen and charges first, then starts up by itself once the battery reaches 3%, or after 30 minutes at most.
Space OS update: v0.4.22
- Fixed: the fingerprint ring light now reliably turns off when you open the updater or a hardware testing app from Space OS, and the exterior lights switch off too (unless set to always on). When the safe restarts, the ring and all exterior lights now go dark before it shuts down.
- Added: the safe can now apply exterior light color, mode and brightness changes sent remotely for the SPACE mobile app, and it reports its current light settings back so the app can show them.
- Improved: the buttons on the "Current PIN Issue" popup are now wider so each label fits on one line, with properly sized arrows and better spacing.
- Fixed: when you come back to Space OS from the updater or a hardware testing app, the exterior lights now turn back on according to your light setting, right after the fingerprint ring lights up, and still turn off again after 45 seconds.
- Fixed a bug where the 45 second inactivity timer on the login and Settings login screens kept restarting by itself, so those screens never closed on their own. Stray signals from the fingerprint sensor no longer count as activity, while a real finger scan still does.
- Fixed a bug where the safe could drop a user's link to the SPACE mobile app while that user was being added, if the server had not finished registering them yet. The safe then kept offering to connect the app again.
- Fixed: the "Connect App" option on your own profile in Settings → Users now only shows when your profile is not already connected to the SPACE mobile app.
- Improved: refreshed the avatar artwork (hair, skin tones, outfits and backgrounds) with corrected designs, for example one outfit's necklace was missing its chain and is now complete. Existing profile pictures are redrawn with the new artwork after the update.
- Fixed a bug where opening the live camera view from the SPACE mobile app could crash Space OS on the safe, or keep failing until Space OS restarted. The safe now repairs its camera connection by itself, and a camera problem can no longer take down Space OS.
- Fixed: reopening the live camera view soon after closing it now connects and stays on. Before, only the first view after the safe's app started worked reliably.
- Fixed: the camera (and its privacy light) could stay on after the viewer left, for example if the mobile app closed unexpectedly or the network dropped. The camera now turns off within 30 seconds when no one is watching.
- Improved: the fingerprint reader on the Settings login screen now restarts more reliably after you switch profiles.
- Fixed a bug where switching between the interior and exterior camera views from the SPACE mobile app could crash Space OS on the safe, or leave the camera stuck on.
- Improved: the safe now tells the SPACE mobile app whether a new user setup is actually in progress, so the app's "New user set up in progress" banner can clear itself when a setup on the safe is abandoned or the safe restarts.
- Fixed a bug where opening live view from the mobile app just as the safe's camera was switching itself off was silently ignored. The safe now waits for the camera to finish switching off, then starts it again.
- Fixed a bug where reopening live view from the mobile app within 30 seconds of a dropped connection stayed stuck on "Connecting". The safe now picks the stream straight back up from the camera that is still running.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the exterior lights now turn off by themselves after 45 seconds without a touch on the guest setup and login screens, just like on the normal home and lock screens.
Safe Version 0.4.21 - July 8, 2026
Firmware update:
- Updated the Master Hardware Testing application to v1.16.
- Updated the Individual Hardware Testing application to v1.20.
- Fixed a bug where, if a safe sat unused or switched off for about three months, the system could take away permissions from the updater and the Master Hardware Testing app, which could stop updates and hardware tests from working.
Space OS update: v0.4.21
- Added: in Settings → System, you can now pick any color for the exterior lights by dragging along the color bar. The lights preview the color live as you drag, a magnifier shows the color under your finger, and the color's name appears under the bar.
- Added: the interior light brightness slider in Settings → System now works (10 to 100%, with the level shown as you drag), and the interior light now turns on at your chosen level everywhere it lights up.
- Added: an exterior light brightness slider in Settings → System, so you can set how bright the exterior lights are.
- Changed: on first-generation (rev 1) safes, the exterior lights now run at no more than 40% of full power in everyday use, to protect the battery. Alerts such as lockdown and door left open still light up at full power.
- Changed: the exterior lights and interior light now turn off when the battery falls below 10%, and turn back on once it recovers to 20%, whether or not the safe is plugged in. This replaces older battery rules that could switch the exterior lights off at around 31%.
- Fixed a bug where the exterior lights could stay on instead of turning off after 45 seconds when they were set to a custom color or a brightness below full. Space OS now reads correctly whether the lights are on.
Safe Version 0.4.20 - July 7, 2026
Firmware update:
- Improved: the firmware now lets the updater, the Master Hardware Testing app and the Individual Hardware Testing app hide the system's status and navigation bars, so these apps can run full screen like the main safe screen.
- Added: the firmware can now set the safe's exterior colored lights and its interior lamp to in-between brightness levels instead of only fully on or off, without visible flicker.
Space OS update: v0.4.20
- Changed: on first-generation (rev 1) safes, the fingerprint login screens now dim to 25% brightness after 2 minutes without a touch, to save battery. Your normal brightness comes back at the next touch or fingerprint scan.
Safe Version 0.4.18.2 - July 6, 2026
Space OS update: v0.4.18.2
- Improved: the country list (used when entering a phone number, such as an emergency contact or a Single Entry guest's number) can now be searched by a country's name in many languages, by its own local name, or by dialing code, and ignores accents.
- Fixed: when Settings is opened with a fingerprint plus an authenticator code, the Activity Log now records exactly that. It used to say PIN plus authenticator.
- Added: the Activity Log now shows a "Safe's software updated" entry after the safe's software is updated.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Improved: in the country list, the keyboard now closes when you tap outside it, use the A to Z index, scroll or pick a country, and the list has its own back button. In Single Entry Mode it is titled "Select your country".
- Fixed: on the Single Entry Mode phone number screen, long phone numbers (for example from Brazil or Germany) no longer run past the underline. The line now fits the selected country's number.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, the fingerprint ring now lights up again on the guest login screen when you come back from Settings after deleting a fingerprint.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, the Go to Sleep button now disappears the moment a guest's PIN or fingerprint is accepted, instead of staying on screen while the safe opens.
Safe Version 0.4.17.2 - July 5, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where, if Space OS closed unexpectedly, the safe could drop to a plain default home screen instead of reopening the Space Safe screen. The firmware no longer includes that stock home screen, so the safe goes straight back to Space OS.
Space OS update: v0.4.17.2
- Improved: fingerprint security. Each fingerprint now only works for the person who registered it, so a guest's fingerprint cannot open the owner's Settings.
- Fixed: the welcome astronaut animation at setup could look garbled after a hard reset. It now shows correctly.
- Improved: when the setup screens start up, the safe now shows the "please wait" screen instead of a blank black screen.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed: choosing Single Entry Mode during the safe's first setup now walks you through the full setup (Wi-Fi, PIN and fingerprint) like normal mode, instead of skipping straight to the home screen.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where, after a tap woke the guest login screen from Go to Sleep, the fingerprint reader sometimes did not come back on.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the pulsing 'or scan your finger' hint now pauses while the guest login screen is asleep, so the safe no longer keeps working behind the dark screen, which made it run warm and use more battery.
Safe Version 0.4.16.2 - July 3, 2026
Firmware update:
- Improved: the safe's recovery screen, which only appears in rare repair situations, now shows in landscape and can be used by swiping on the touchscreen, with on-screen instructions for moving and selecting. Before, it showed sideways and needed buttons the safe does not have.
Space OS update: v0.4.16.2
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, a "Go to Sleep" button at the top left of the guest login screen turns the screen black and darkens the fingerprint ring and the exterior lights. Tap the screen to wake it.
Safe Version 0.4.15.2 - July 3, 2026
Space OS update: v0.4.15.2
- Fixed a bug where, on the first start after a software update, Space OS could crash and restart several times while the safe's storage was still getting ready. The camera now waits for storage, and if it still can't start it stays off for that session instead of crashing Space OS.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, guests who registered a fingerprint now always see a gently pulsing "or scan your finger" hint on the login screen. Tapping it restarts the fingerprint sensor straight away and confirms with "Sensor rebooted, try your finger again."
Safe Version 0.4.14.2 - July 2, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where, on the new combined firmware, a plain "Device is starting…" message with a spinner covered the SPACE "Please wait" screen on every start-up.
- Fixed a bug where unplugging the charger and plugging it back in could leave the safe not charging, so the battery kept draining while plugged in until the safe was restarted.
- Fixed: the safe's firmware version now reads as a clean number, for example 0.4.14.2. Before, a long build code could end up stuck to the end of it.
Space OS update: v0.4.14.2
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where a stray back button stayed on the guest's welcome screen (shown after unlocking) after opening the Activity Log and coming back.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6.6
- Fixed a bug where the updater's top bar showed the "no Wi-Fi" icon even though the safe was connected to Wi-Fi.
Safe Version 0.4.13.2 - July 2, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where, on the new combined firmware, the safe showed a "There's an internal problem with your device" message every time it started up.
- Improved: if the safe's software stops responding, the safe now shows its own SPACE-styled message, "The Space OS is not responding.", with Wait and Restart OS buttons, instead of a plain system "isn't responding" box.
- Changed: the safe's built-in system messages now use the SPACE name instead of generic names such as phone or tablet, in every language.
Space OS update: v0.4.13.2
- Fixed a bug where Space OS could crash when the safe's temperature or humidity sensor returned an unreadable value. The safe now keeps using the last good reading.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where the fingerprint reader could stop working after a guest checked out.
Safe Version 0.4.13.1 - June 26, 2026
Firmware update:
- Updated the Master Hardware Testing application to v1.14.
Safe Version 0.4.12.2 - June 26, 2026
Firmware update:
- Added: one firmware now runs on both versions of the safe's main circuit board. When the safe starts, it checks which board it has and uses the matching charger and sensor settings, so charging and the temperature and humidity readings work properly on each.
- Fixed a bug where, on the new combined firmware, the fingerprint reader might not work properly because two parts of the system tried to use it at the same time. Space OS now has the reader to itself, as on earlier firmware.
Space OS update: v0.4.12.2
- Improved: the fingerprint reader now stays lit and ready, and quietly refreshes itself about every 90 seconds (a quick one second blink of the ring), so it is far less likely to get stuck and stop reading after the safe sits idle.
Safe Version 0.4.12.1 - June 24, 2026
Space OS update: v0.4.12.1
- Improved: in Settings → Wi-Fi, reconnecting to a network the safe already knows now happens quietly, without asking for the password again or showing a system popup.
- Improved: on Wi-Fi networks that use several access points under one name (mesh networks), the safe now reuses the password you already saved instead of asking for it again. If saved passwords for that name disagree, it asks you.
- Fixed: tapping Change Password on a saved Wi-Fi network no longer forgets that network straight away. The old setting is only replaced once you actually submit a new password, so an accidental tap or backing out keeps your working connection.
- Added: when you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network that has auto-join on, the safe now asks whether to turn auto-join off or pause it for 5 minutes. During a pause the switch shows a countdown ("On in 4:32"), and if the popup is left unanswered the safe picks the 5 minute pause so it never stays offline by accident.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6.4
- Improved: the battery indicator in the updater's top bar now matches the rest of the safe: the icon and percentage turn green, orange or red with the charge level and switch to a charging symbol while the safe charges.
Safe Version 0.4.11.1 - June 23, 2026
Space OS update: v0.4.11.1
- Fixed a bug where Space OS could close with an error during start-up if the camera system started at an unlucky moment.
- Added: if the fingerprint sensor gets stuck while you are registering a fingerprint, Space OS can now show a "Fingerprint issue? Reboot the stuck sensor." message. Tapping it restarts the sensor and repeats the current scan.
- Improved: if the fingerprint sensor stops answering, Space OS now resets its connection to the sensor after 5 seconds and keeps scanning, instead of staying stuck.
- Improved: on Settings → Users → Timed Access, the current-time line now reaches past the edges of the schedule and shows a "Currently:" label with the time, in your 12 or 24 hour format.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where, after a guest checked out, restarting the safe could bring back the guest login screen instead of the start screen for the next guest.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, if a checked-out guest's fingerprint could not be erased from the sensor right away, the safe now keeps retrying automatically until it is removed.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6.3
- Fixed: when the safe was refused access to an update file, the updater wrongly told you to check your Wi-Fi. It now says you do not have permission to download the file and asks you to contact support.
Safe Version 0.4.10.1 - June 21, 2026
Space OS update: v0.4.10.1
- Fixed a bug in Space OS's built-in browser where pages that took more than 8 seconds to appear, such as our own website, showed an error page even though they were still loading. It now waits up to 25 seconds before showing an error.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where a background camera routine read the safe's hardware about 20 times a second for a feature that was never switched on, which could slow the safe down, make it run warm, drain the battery and cause unexpected restarts. The routine is now off; live camera viewing and tamper detection are not affected.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6.2
- Added: the updater now shows how long your update has been running (for example "Elapsed: 3 min 20 sec") in the bottom-right corner. The clock starts once the download is actually moving and stops when the install finishes.
- Improved: when you tap Reboot Now at the end of an update, its icon now keeps spinning until the safe powers down, so you can see it is working.
- Added: the updater's top bar now shows your Wi-Fi signal strength and the date and time, like the rest of the safe.
- Improved: the Change Wi-Fi button in the updater now opens the safe's own Wi-Fi setup screen instead of the generic Wi-Fi settings.
- Fixed a bug where the updater's no-internet message only appeared once: if you closed it while the safe was still offline (for example after going to change Wi-Fi), it now shows again when you come back.
Safe Version 0.4.9.1 - June 19, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where pages from our website, thespacesafe.com, would not load in the safe's built-in browser and showed a security certificate error instead. We also updated the built-in browser's engine to a much newer version.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6.1
- Improved: when an update fails, the updater now explains the problem in plain English instead of showing a technical error name, and still shows the error number for support. Errors that a restart usually clears now offer a Reboot button instead of Try again.
Safe Version 0.4.8.1 - June 18, 2026
Firmware update:
- Fixed a bug where, after touch detection was added to the fingerprint reader, the safe's temperature and humidity readings could come out wrong or as zero.
- Improved: apps on the safe now open instantly instead of sliding in from the right side of the screen.
- Fixed a bug where the Wi-Fi settings screen could show an empty list of networks on a brand-new safe. Nearby networks now show from the very first start.
- Fixed a bug where forgetting a Wi-Fi network, or disconnecting from one, in Wi-Fi settings sometimes did not work.
Safe Version 0.4.6.1 - June 17, 2026
Firmware update:
- Improved: the fingerprint reader now powers down while the login screen sits idle and wakes up as soon as a finger touches it, to help keep it from getting stuck. If it does get stuck, the safe can now restart just the reader instead of restarting the whole safe.
Space OS update: v0.4.6.1
- Fixed a bug where the safe's screen stopped going dark on its own after you woke it once. The display-off screen now comes back after the usual idle time, every time.
- Improved: if Space OS ever has to restart after an unexpected error, the notice it shows afterward is easier to read, with a clear headline, labeled details and better spacing, and you can now swipe it up to close it.
- Improved: while the safe finishes starting up, Space OS now shows a branded 'please wait' screen instead of a few seconds of black screen.
- Added: after you unlock, the Welcome screen now shows two small timers in the bottom left corner: how long sign-in took ('Authenticated in') and how long the door took to open ('Opened in'). They are not shown when the safe is opened with the physical key.
- Fixed a bug where, after a completed sign-in, leftover PIN digits could be filled in on the Settings PIN screen. Only digits you are typing at that moment carry over when you tap Settings.
- Improved: on safes set up with an authenticator app for two-step sign-in, a fingerprint now takes you straight to the code screen. Before, it showed a 'Fingerprint Authenticated, please enter your PIN' message that did not apply and paused for 3 seconds.
- Fixed a bug where, after scanning your fingerprint and then backing out of the authenticator code screen, the fingerprint sensor would not scan again, so the PIN was the only way to continue.
- Added: a wrong Temporary Guest code now also plays the incorrect attempt sound, like other wrong PIN entries. Before, it only flashed the screen red.
- Fixed: when opening the safe, the authenticator code and backup code screens now put the safe into lockdown after the maximum number of wrong attempts, the same as wrong PINs and fingerprints do.
- Added: when too many wrong attempts start a lockdown, the safe now shows one clear message, 'Maximum attempts reached. Lockdown and alarm has initiated.', whichever sign-in method was used (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, authenticator code or backup code), both when opening the safe and when entering Settings.
- Fixed: if a lockdown starts on the authenticator code or backup code screen, the safe now goes back to the home screen once lockdown is cleared, instead of leaving you on the old code screen.
- Fixed: a typo in the wrong backup code message. It now reads 'Backup code incorrect.'
- Improved: the backup code screen now has its own on-screen number keypad instead of the pop-up keyboard. The code is shown centered in two groups of four, and you tap a round Next button to submit it.
- Added: the backup code screen now tells you the date your backup codes were created ('Enter a backup code that was generated on: <date>'), to help you find the right saved copy.
- Improved: when the safe checks an authenticator code, the 'please wait' spinner now only appears if the check takes longer than about half a second, so it no longer flashes on screen.
- Added: after a wrong backup code, an X button appears at the end of the code line so you can clear the whole code in one tap. The digits you typed stay, so you can also fix just one.
- Improved: on safes set up with an authenticator app for two-step sign-in, your fingerprint now works as the first step when entering Settings, followed by your authenticator code, the same as when opening the safe. Before, a fingerprint at the Settings sign-in only showed a message asking for your PIN.
- Fixed: on safes that use a single sign-in step, entering Settings with your fingerprint no longer flashes a 'Fingerprint Authenticated, please enter your PIN' message; it goes straight into Settings.
- Fixed a bug where opening the live camera view could make Space OS restart. If the safe cannot sign in to the video service, the live view now stops cleanly instead.
- Improved: adding a fingerprint is quicker. Between scans, the sensor's green light now shows for half a second instead of two seconds, and the blue light asking for the next scan comes back sooner.
- Fixed a bug where dropdown alerts at the top of the screen could no longer be swiped up to dismiss once any alert had been shown.
- Fixed a bug where tapping the Back button at the top of the screen several times quickly could freeze Space OS, leaving the home screen showing but not responding to taps.
- Fixed a bug where the Back button at the top of the screen could leave you stuck in the built-in browser. It now goes back a page, and closes the browser when there is nothing left to go back to.
- Fixed a bug where website links written without https:// at the start, such as www.TheSpaceSafe.com, opened a blank page in the built-in browser.
- Fixed a bug where the Back button at the top of the screen stopped responding after the safe was opened, on screens such as Settings, Activity Log and Users.
- Improved: the Settings login screen now shows the list of users instantly after the first time you open it, instead of making you wait for them to load.
- Improved: scrolling through a long Activity Log is now smooth, and the calendar on the right keeps up with the list. Before, scrolling could stall for several seconds and the calendar barely moved.
- Improved: the Security, System, Display and Cameras settings pages now open faster.
- Changed: wrong fingerprint attempts now show in the Activity Log as "Invalid Fingerprint" instead of "Incorrect Fingerprint".
- Fixed: when the safe has more than one user, the Settings login screen no longer picks the owner automatically. It now shows a pulsing "Please Select a User to Access Settings" prompt until you tap a name, which also removes the flicker and delay when the screen opened.
- Fixed a bug where tapping a date in the Activity Log calendar could freeze the screen for up to 20 seconds.
- Fixed a bug where photos from the safe's cameras had the wrong colors: warm colors like gold came out blue-green.
- Fixed a bug where camera photos could sometimes show bright green bands across the picture.
- Improved: the screen now wakes instantly from display-off. Before, it stayed black for 1 to 2 seconds while the brightness slowly came back.
- Fixed a bug where, after display-off, the screen brightness could get stuck at 0% and stop following the brightness slider in Settings → Display.
- Improved: Settings → System → Current Safe Mode now opens much faster, and the safe keeps checking in with the server while that screen is open.
- Improved: the Activity Log now opens almost instantly even with thousands of entries, and loads older entries as you scroll. Before, opening it could take more than 2 seconds.
- Improved: the Activity Log list now sits a little further left, and each entry's description now follows right after the person's name instead of being pinned to the far right.
- Fixed a bug where the fingerprint reader could stop matching fingerprints after sitting idle for several minutes (it stayed lit but did nothing) until the safe was restarted.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where the temperature and battery percentage at the top of the screen were hard to read on the green 'safe open' bar, especially while charging. They now show in white while the safe is open and go back to their usual colors when it closes.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where two messages dropping down from the top of the screen one right after the other covered each other, so the first could vanish almost at once. They now show one at a time, and messages that stay until dismissed, like the checkout photo preview, wait underneath until you swipe them away.
- Fixed a bug where some Activity Log entries that came from our servers could show the wrong time.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Fixed: the Single Entry Mode setup screens now all use the safe's usual back button at the top. The notifications screen had no back button before, and on several screens an extra back arrow pushed the title down.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, the PIN dots and keypad no longer jump to a different position between the create PIN and confirm PIN steps.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, if the guest's confirm PIN does not match, the screen now flashes red, plays the wrong PIN sound and shows 'Incorrect PIN entered. Please create a new PIN and try again.', then starts PIN creation over.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, the fingerprint sensor's blue light now turns off when the guest moves on from the fingerprint step or goes back from it, instead of staying lit.
- Improved: the Single Entry Mode guest fingerprint step has been redesigned. The guest scans one finger twice (the right thumb is suggested), can tap the hand picture to see a short animation of how to place the finger, and the green success light now carries on into the 'fingerprint added' screen.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode guest setup where leaving the second fingerprint scan screen idle for about 10 minutes could leave the fingerprint sensor unresponsive until the safe restarted.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, Back now steps back one screen at a time: from confirm PIN to create PIN, from 'fingerprint added' back to the scan (the fingerprint just added is removed), and from the finished screen back to the phone number screen.
- Fixed a bug where tapping the + button or Back very quickly on the Single Entry Mode home screen could make Space OS restart.
- Added: if a Single Entry Mode guest leaves setup untouched for 30 minutes, the safe returns to the Single Entry Mode home screen.
- Added: Single Entry Mode guest setup now verifies the guest's phone number: the guest picks their country, enters their number, and the safe sends a verification code to that phone, which they enter to continue. If the code cannot be sent, a message asks them to try again.
- Improved: on the Single Entry Mode home screen, the + button is now a smaller circle that lines up with the owner's picture, with its 'Press + to set up a Single Entry Access' caption directly underneath.
- Improved: after you switch between Normal Mode and Single Entry Mode in Settings, the safe now shows a confirmation: 'You've successfully changed your mode to Single Entry Mode' (or Normal Mode).
- Added: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, if the safe is offline when the guest reaches the phone step, it asks them to reconnect to Wi-Fi; if the safe has been offline for 5 minutes or more, the phone step is skipped and the guest sees an offline notice at the end of setup.
- Improved: the Single Entry Mode 'setup finished' screen now shows the Space shield icon, with a roomier layout and the Finished button near the bottom of the screen.
- Added: when a Single Entry Mode guest taps Leave, the safe locks itself, turns on the interior light and takes one photo of the inside of the safe. The photo is sent to our servers (kept on the safe until it can be sent, then deleted from the safe), and the guest's stay is then marked as ended.
- Added: Single Entry Mode now keeps our servers up to date on each guest: the guest is registered when they finish setup (their PIN is not sent), and each time they open the safe or enter a wrong PIN it is reported.
- Added: when a Single Entry Mode guest uses Forgot PIN, the temporary PIN is now also sent to the guest's phone.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode setup where going back from the WhatsApp code screen to the phone number screen kept the number but hid the Next button and the delete key, so the number could not be changed or confirmed.
- Fixed a bug where opening the Single Entry Mode notifications explanation screen crashed Space OS.
- Fixed a bug where a correct guest PIN in Single Entry Mode did not actually open the safe. The safe now opens with the green outside light and the same opening animation as Normal Mode, and choosing Stay closes and locks it again while the guest's PIN keeps working.
- Improved: a wrong PIN or fingerprint on the Single Entry Mode guest login screen now flashes the screen red, plays the wrong-PIN sound, flashes the outside light red and shows a message at the top with the number of wrong tries, replacing the old static error screen.
- Changed: the guest login keypad in Single Entry Mode no longer shows the settings gear button.
- Fixed a bug where no checkout photo was taken when a Single Entry Mode guest tapped Leave, because the interior camera was never switched on. The safe now turns the camera on, waits until it is ready, takes the photo after a short pause so it isn't washed out, then turns the camera off again.
- Improved: each Single Entry Mode guest is now created on the safe itself at the end of setup and numbered (Guest 1, Guest 2 and so on). If the safe is offline at that moment, the guest is registered with our servers automatically once Wi-Fi returns.
- Changed: the Single Entry Mode checkout photo is now only taken when the guest has a verified WhatsApp number to send it to. The safe still locks when the guest taps Leave either way.
- Fixed a bug where a Single Entry Mode guest on a safe without a working interior camera never got the checkout message after tapping Leave; the message now goes out without a photo.
- Fixed a bug where the Skip button on the Single Entry Mode WhatsApp code screen did nothing; it now skips ahead to the end of setup.
- Changed: if no WhatsApp code is entered within 10 minutes during Single Entry Mode setup, the safe now goes back to the phone number screen.
- Added: the website link at the bottom of the Single Entry Mode guest login and welcome screens now opens in the built-in browser, and with no internet it shows a message asking you to connect to Wi-Fi instead.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode the safe now records each guest's activity (opens, closes, wrong PIN or fingerprint attempts, PIN recovery and checkout) in the activity log, and the Activity Log button on the guest login screen shows the guest only their own entries. After checkout the entries stay in the log under the guest's number, such as Guest 3.
- Added: if the safe restarts during a Single Entry Mode guest stay, it now goes straight back to the guest login screen, with a short wait screen instead of a flash of the home screen.
- Improved: when a Single Entry Mode guest taps Leave, the safe now always erases that guest's PIN and profile right away, even if the checkout photo can't be taken, and switching the safe out of Single Entry Mode clears any active guest as well.
- Fixed a bug where quickly double-tapping the last digit while confirming the PIN during Single Entry Mode setup could crash Space OS.
- Fixed a bug where pressing Back on the Single Entry Mode guest login screen could take the guest back into the already finished setup screens.
- Fixed a bug where Forgot PIN on the Single Entry Mode guest login screen seemed broken for guests who skipped WhatsApp notifications; it now tells them notifications were never set up.
- Improved: the WhatsApp verification code message sent to Single Entry Mode guests now uses its own Single Entry Mode wording and can include the safe's name.
- Added: Single Entry Mode guests who add a fingerprint during setup can now open the safe with it on the guest login screen, and that fingerprint stops opening the safe as soon as the guest taps Leave.
- Added: Single Entry Mode guests who skipped WhatsApp notifications during setup can now turn them on later from the Add WhatsApp Notifications card on the screen shown after the safe opens.
- Fixed a bug where the checkout WhatsApp message for a Single Entry Mode guest was turned away by our servers and never sent.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the last screen of a new guest's setup now says "Your safe is ready to use!" and shows how long setup took, for example "Setup completed in 45 secs".
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the Settings → Display switch for showing the owner on the login screen now sits on its own card and uses the same blue switch as the other settings.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, tapping Resend on the phone verification code screen now really sends a new code. Before, it did nothing.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, the one-time temporary PIN a guest gets when they forget their PIN now expires after 10 minutes if it is not used (it was 15 minutes).
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where tapping Leave twice quickly could upload the checkout photo and send the end-of-stay notice twice.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where the green "safe open" bar could stay on the guest login screen after a quick Stay. The bar now turns on the moment the guest is let in and off the moment they tap Stay.
- Fixed: user photos on the home screen no longer flash blank for a moment the first time they appear after the safe restarts, in both Normal Mode and Single Entry Mode.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the safe now sends a guest's own events (safe opened, wrong PIN, opened with the physical key, door left open) marked as the guest's, so those alerts go to the guest instead of the owner.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the checkout photo taken when a guest leaves now waits until the interior light has been on for 3 seconds, so it is no longer washed out. The safe still locks right away.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, a guest looking at their own Activity Log now sees themselves as "Guest" instead of a numbered name like "Guest 3". The owner's full log still shows the numbers.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where a guest's Activity Log, after 45 seconds without a touch, closed to the owner's home screen. It now returns the guest to their own screen.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, the Activity Log button on the guest's unlocked screen did nothing. It now opens the guest's own log.
- Fixed a bug where an old temporary guest invite, including one left behind by a Single Entry Mode guest, could make the owner's PIN login pause on "Please wait" for about a second every time.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, the safe now notices when it is opened with the physical key while the guest login screen is showing. It shows the "Opened with Key" screen, adds it to the Activity Log and reports it.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, the "Opened with Key" screen no longer shows the Settings button. The Activity Log button is still there.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where losing WiFi while checking the phone verification code showed the incorrect code popup even when the code was right. It now says "WiFi dropped. Please try again." and lets the guest try again.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where a guest who skipped phone verification could fail to register with the server, because message alerts were switched on with no number to send them to. Guest alerts are now switched on only when the phone number is verified.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, when a guest leaves the safe open for 5 minutes, a Door Left Open alert now appears with "Lock and Stay" and "Lock and Leave" buttons and a choice to snooze for 5 or 10 minutes. It looks just like the regular Door Left Open alert.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, the door left open style switch in Settings → Security can't be changed; tapping it shows "This setting cannot be changed in Single Entry Mode." Your Normal Mode choice is kept.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, if the safe restarts while a guest has it open, it now returns to the guest's unlocked screen and restarts the door left open timer.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, if the bolts don't fully lock after a guest taps Stay (or Lock and Stay), the screen now shows the door can't lock warning with a "Click to lock" button to try again, instead of moving on as if the safe were locked.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, the safe's cameras now stay off the whole time, with no recording and no live view; the only photo taken is the interior checkout photo when a guest taps Leave. The camera switches in Settings can't be changed in this mode, and your camera settings come back when you switch back to Normal Mode.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, tapping Leave now shows the same locking animation as Stay, with the bolts locking while it plays.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the guest's unlocked screen now shows how fast the safe opened ("Authenticated in" and "Opened in"), like Normal Mode does.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where pressing extra keys after a wrong guest PIN could check it again and count more than one wrong attempt.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode where the interior camera stayed switched on in the background after a guest's checkout photo, until the safe restarted.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the checkout photo is now taken in about 1 second instead of about 7, because the camera starts only what it needs for one photo.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, Settings → Camera could show the camera recording switches as on (for example after a restart) even though the cameras are off in this mode. The recording and status light switches now always show off.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, pressing more keys after a correct 4-digit PIN could refill the PIN dots and play key sounds while the safe was opening. The keypad now pauses during the opening animation and is ready again right away after a wrong PIN.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, the fingerprint reader kept glowing blue after a guest left the PIN screen to open the activity log. The light now turns off.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, tapping the name of the Door Left Open style option in Settings → Security, which is locked in this mode, showed the locked-option alert. The alert now appears only when you tap the switch itself, like other locked options.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, two Settings → Security options about adding guests and users, which do not apply in this mode, could reappear after leaving and returning to the page. They now stay hidden.
- Improved: the Door Left Open popup in Single Entry Mode of Space OS has tidier buttons. Lock and Stay and Lock and Leave are now the same height and sit on one line, Lock and Stay is solid instead of see-through, and the snooze buttons now read 5 min on the left and 10 min on the right.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, the Stay, Leave and Add WhatsApp cards could still be tapped while the locking animation was playing.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, a guest's own activity log could close with an error or show blank rows, so entries like 'Guest created' were missing. The guest's log now shows every entry.
- Improved: the locking animation in Space OS now takes 1.5 seconds instead of 2, in both Normal Mode and Single Entry Mode.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, if the safe restarted while its door was open, the Door Left Open alert waited the full 5 minutes before showing. It now shows right away after the restart, just like in Normal Mode.
- Added: if the safe restarts while it is open, the welcome screen in Space OS now says 'Safe just rebooted' in place of the 'Authenticated in' and 'Opened in' times, which would not be accurate after a restart. This works in both Normal Mode and Single Entry Mode.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, when a guest starts Forgot PIN in Space OS, a green confirmation now appears: 'Forgot PIN initiated. Please wait for your WhatsApp message.' Before, nothing appeared.
- Improved: clearer wording on two Single Entry Mode screens in Space OS. The guest's PIN screen now says 'Please enter your PIN', and if the safe was offline during setup, the message now reads 'Device is offline, setup WhatsApp notifications later.' with the WhatsApp logo.
- Changed: In Single Entry Mode, Lockdown on Tamper in Space OS is now fully off for as long as the safe stays in this mode, even after a restart (before, it was only hidden in Settings and could still lock the safe). Your own setting comes back when you switch to Normal Mode.
- Changed: In Single Entry Mode, the Settings login screen in Space OS now lists only the owner, who is selected automatically. Before, it listed every user and could briefly show a guest who had just checked out.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, the owner's Settings login screen in Space OS now has a Forgot PIN button, so the owner can recover their PIN even when their profile is not shown on the home screen.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, closing the door during a guest stay was not reported to SpaceSafe's servers, so after checkout the safe could keep showing as not closed. Every door close is now reported.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, after signing in to Owner Settings, the owner can now see the checked-in guest's verified phone number in Space OS. The number is stored encrypted on the safe and erased when the guest checks out.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, the owner can now remove a checked-in guest in Space OS. Remove Guest asks you to confirm, shows a 'Removing guest' screen with a countdown of up to 2 minutes while the checkout and the guest's WhatsApp notice are confirmed, then shows 'You have successfully removed the Guest.', and lets you try again if it could not be confirmed.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, if nobody has tried to log in on the guest's PIN screen for 6 hours, an Owner Settings button appears there in Space OS. After the owner signs in, a popup shows that a guest is checked in, with options to view settings or remove the guest.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, starting a hard reset in Space OS while a guest is checked in now asks the owner to remove the guest first. The reset continues only once the guest's checkout is confirmed.
- Changed: In Single Entry Mode, 'Admin Settings' is renamed 'Owner Settings' in Space OS, on the home screen button and the Settings login screen.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where switching from Single Entry Mode back to Normal Mode while a guest was checked in ended the guest's stay without a proper checkout. It now asks you to remove the guest first and switches only after the checkout is confirmed.
- Added: In Single Entry Mode, when the owner opens Settings from the guest's PIN screen during a stay, 'Owner accessed Settings' is now recorded in the guest's own activity log in Space OS.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, in Single Entry Mode, a guest who had checked out could sometimes stay in the Users list.
- Improved: on the Single Entry Mode WhatsApp code screen, the Skip button now appears after 15 seconds instead of 30.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, after a guest taps Try again on the 'Verification Code Error!' popup, the Skip and Resend buttons show straight away instead of after another wait.
- Improved: on the Single Entry Mode WhatsApp code screen, the Resend button can be tapped as soon as it appears, 5 seconds after the screen opens, instead of staying greyed out for another 20 seconds. After a tap it steps aside for 20 seconds while the new code is on its way.
- Improved: on the Single Entry Mode WhatsApp code screen, the digits a guest types now show in blue boxes instead of plain dots, so they can see what they entered.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, the number pad now sits at exactly the same height on the phone number and WhatsApp code screens, so it no longer jumps when the guest moves between them.
- Fixed: in Single Entry Mode, the 'Verification Code Error!' message now opens as a popup over the whole screen, like the safe's other popups. Before, it opened as a separate page under the top bar.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, the green word 'again' on the second fingerprint scan screen ('Place it again') now gently pulses, so guests notice they need to scan the same finger one more time.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode guest setup, the 'Fingerprint enrolled' screen now stays up for about 3 seconds so it can be read, and a touch anywhere on the screen moves on straight away.
- Improved: the Single Entry Mode notifications screen, opened with Explain on the guest phone number screen, has been redesigned with a larger title, bigger example WhatsApp messages, solid Yes and No buttons, and the WhatsApp logo shown properly instead of squashed.
- Fixed: on the Single Entry Mode phone number and WhatsApp code screens, the WhatsApp logo in the title now sits in line with the text at a matching size, instead of looking small or off-center.
- Improved: on the Single Entry Mode guest login screen, the 'Hello,' greeting and 'Please enter your PIN' prompt are now larger and centered, and the website link at the bottom now shows in blue without an underline.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, the Add WiFi button on the guest login and welcome screens now shows a Wi-Fi icon.
- Improved: on the Single Entry Mode welcome screen shown after a guest unlocks, the Stay, Add WhatsApp and Leave buttons now sit in one even row with larger white captions, and the date and time now show at the top of the screen.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, fingerprints left on the reader by earlier guests are now cleared before a new guest enrolls.
Safe Version 0.4.5.1 - June 6, 2026
SpaceUpdater update: v1.6
- The updater's dropdown is now fully working like the rest of the Space OS.
Safe Version 0.4.4.1 - June 5, 2026
Firmware update:
- Major upgrade: Update security hardening (under the hood). OTA updates are now verified against a dedicated SpaceSafe signing key rather than the generic platform default. No visible change during a normal update, but this closes one open vulnerability we had for the safe. Making it more bulletproof.
- Improved experience during boot with our animation. Followed by a clean hand off after the OS finalizes the boot sequence.
- Fixed a bug where an update sent from our new update platform could be refused by the safe and stop with an error instead of installing. The firmware now accepts the platform's download links.
- Fixed: the safe no longer plays a stray notification beep when it is connected to a computer with a USB cable.
- Improved: Space OS and the updater now always stay full screen. Swiping in from the edge of the screen no longer brings up the system bars.
Space OS update: v0.4.5.1
- We've updated to 0.4 because we've added in our Single Entry Mode. This mode is specifically made for hospitality and boutique hotels and is still in Beta mode.
- The 0.4 versions have all been internally tested until now, and they have major firmware upgrades, bug fixes, and improvements. You'll see a number of bug fixes and crashes that were resolved, making this version a very smooth one for users to use. We've also added some extra levels of encryption and security.
- Fixed a bug where, after a restart, the Weather lock screen could show empty forecast cards with no explanation. It now shows the message that weather will appear once the safe connects to the servers, until the forecast arrives.
- Improved: while weather data is still loading, the Weather lock screen's forecast cards are brighter so they're easier to see on the dark background.
- Added: if nothing happens for 20 seconds on the Settings login screen, it now shows the same "Fingerprint issue? Press Back or Reboot to fix." message as the main login screen.
- Improved: after you scan your fingerprint as the first of two login steps, the "Fingerprint Authenticated!" message now appears as a banner at the top of the screen and stays while you enter your PIN, instead of a box or popup over the screen. This works the same on the main login and the Settings login.
- Fixed: with fingerprint plus PIN login, the sensor's green light after a good fingerprint scan now plays through as the safe opens, instead of cutting off early or briefly turning blue.
- Improved: in Settings → Display, the Clock lock screen tile now shows a simple picture of the real clock layout, and long-pressing it shows a live, ticking clock with today's date, so the preview matches the actual lock screen.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, with fingerprint plus PIN login turned on, logging in again after locking the safe could make the fingerprint reader flash red and reject the right finger over and over, with each try counted as a failed attempt.
- Added: in Space OS, choosing the mode your safe is already in on the mode selection screen now shows a message such as "You're already in Normal Mode. Push Back or select another mode" instead of starting setup again.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where pressing PIN digits very quickly at login (more presses than the PIN has digits) could leave the safe stuck on a "Please wait" screen until the screen timed out. A quickly typed wrong PIN is also no longer counted twice.
- Improved: in Space OS, pressing and holding the Clock lock screen in Settings → Display now shows a full-screen preview that looks just like the real Clock lock screen, with the live time and date and the top bar with temperature, battery and Wi-Fi.
- Fixed: in Space OS, Settings → System → Current Safe Mode now shows the mode your safe is really in (Normal or Single Entry). It used to always say Normal.
- Fixed: in Space OS, when logging in with PIN first and then fingerprint, an old "Fingerprint Authenticated" screen and the PIN keypad could flash briefly over the safe-opening animation.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, after your fingerprint was accepted, the fingerprint reader's light could keep pulsing blue over and over, often seen after opening Settings.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, after opening and then closing the safe with the physical key, the green "safe is open" bar stayed at the top of the home screen.
- Improved: in Space OS, with two-step login turned on, the "Fingerprint Authenticated" message now always drops down when your fingerprint is accepted at login or at the Settings login, even if you had already started typing your PIN.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where going back from the fingerprint or authenticator step of the Settings login left you on an empty Settings login with no user selected. Your profile now stays selected and the PIN dots are cleared so you can try again.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where tapping Settings or Activity Log right after unlocking, while the bolts were still opening, could leave the safe in a confused state. The welcome screen now waits until the bolts report fully open, with a backup timer in case the bolt sensor does not answer.
- Fixed: a wrong fingerprint at the Settings login in Space OS used to just flash red with no message. It now shows the same wrong-fingerprint screen as the main login, with the wrong-attempt sound and your attempt count, then returns you to try again.
- Improved: the safe-opening animation in Space OS now lasts about as long as your safe's bolts took to open last time, instead of a fixed 2.5 seconds, so it matches your safe.
- Fixed: the fingerprint reader's green light could stay stuck on while you were in Space OS's Settings if you moved quickly between screens right after your fingerprint was accepted.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where closing the fingerprint help animation on the fingerprint login screen left an empty banner at the top of the screen, which could stay there into Settings.
- Fixed a bug on the Settings login screen where entering the correct PIN and then backing out of the second login step (fingerprint or authenticator) kept your earlier wrong tries counted, so one more typo could put the safe into lockdown.
- Fixed a bug where the Weather lock screen could make Space OS crash and restart, sometimes over and over for hours, when the weather service sent incomplete or damaged forecast data. The safe now skips bad weather data and tries again instead of crashing.
- Fixed: on the Weather lock screen, when the forecast is out of date, the 'Updated: 3 days ago' text no longer runs into the weather icon, and 'Updated:' is now bold and sized to fit.
- Fixed a bug where the Weather lock screen could stop updating because our server had lost the safe's location. The safe now sends its location again by itself and recovers without any help.
- Fixed: swiping down from the top of the screen no longer opens the notification shade over Space OS, and system notification pop-ups, notification icons and the recent apps screen are blocked too.
- Added: if Space OS ever closes unexpectedly, a message with the details now appears at the top of the screen once it comes back, so you can pass them on to our support team.
- Added: a backup way to open the updater from the Settings login screen, so our support team can help you update the safe even when Settings can't be opened.
- Fixed: opening the updater during setup no longer refuses when the safe is plugged in with a full battery. Like the rest of the safe, it now only warns when the safe is unplugged and below 50%, and you can still continue.
- Fixed a bug where turning the physical key once sometimes did not end a lockdown, so a second turn was needed. The safe now catches a single key turn reliably.
- Fixed a bug where a camera start-up problem could crash Space OS on the lock screen. Space OS now keeps running, with the camera off until the next restart.
- Improved: the fingerprint sensor now pauses while the updater is open, and the fingerprint reader on the Settings login screen starts working again as soon as you come back.
- Fixed a bug where the safe's screen could freeze when its connection to our cloud kept dropping and reconnecting. The safe now reconnects without slowing down the screen.
- Fixed a bug where the mode cards on the safe mode screen (in setup and in Settings → System → Current Safe Mode) did not respond to finger taps.
- Added: when you change the safe's mode from Settings, the mode the safe is currently in is now outlined in orange.
Single Entry Mode (Beta)
- Added: the guest side of Single Entry Mode (Beta). A guest creates their own PIN, can add a fingerprint and a phone number for free WhatsApp notifications (which can help with a forgotten PIN), and after unlocking can choose Stay to keep using their PIN or Leave to lock the safe and end their stay.
- Added: Settings → System → Current Safe Mode now opens the mode picker, where the owner can switch the safe to Single Entry Mode (Beta). Before, tapping this row only said the feature wasn't available yet.
- Fixed: in Space OS, the Single Entry Mode card on the mode selection screen now shows at full width and can be tapped anywhere on the card, not just on its text.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode (beta), Space OS's login screen no longer lists the safe's other users, and a large "+" tile in the profile row starts a guest's setup.
- Improved: in Space OS, switching from Single Entry Mode back to Normal Mode in Settings no longer makes you go through the whole setup again, and the screen no longer gets stuck after a mode switch.
- Improved: the Single Entry Mode (beta) guest setup screens in Space OS (create and confirm PIN, fingerprint, phone number and WhatsApp code) were rebuilt to match the look of the rest of Space OS, fixing a PIN title that ran off the screen and a cut-off hand picture.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode (beta), the PIN a guest creates during setup is now stored securely on the safe, checked when the guest logs in, and kept after a restart.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode (beta), the fingerprint step of guest setup now records the guest's fingerprint on the safe's reader.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode (beta), when a guest taps Forgot PIN and the safe has no internet, or notifications were never set up, a clear message now drops down at the top of the screen.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode (beta), the Door Left Open popup is held back while a guest is on the new-PIN screen after a forgotten PIN, so it cannot interrupt the reset.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode (beta), if a guest who is resetting a forgotten PIN leaves the new-PIN screen untouched for 3 minutes, the safe now locks itself and returns to the guest login.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode (beta), the Users button in Space OS's Settings is renamed Owner and opens the owner's profile directly.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, Settings → Cameras now shows a note that the camera will not be active while a guest is logged in.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, Settings → Security shows only the settings that apply while a guest uses the safe. Your Normal Mode security settings are saved and come back exactly as they were when you switch back.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the owner's profile page has a 'Display Owner on Login Screen' switch that chooses whether the owner appears on the login screen, and the login screen now updates as soon as the switch is changed.
- Added: an 'Are you sure?' popup when switching the safe between Normal Mode and Single Entry Mode, explaining what will change before you confirm.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the guest login and welcome screens show an 'Add WiFi' button only while the safe is offline, and tapping it opens Wi-Fi setup.
- Added: during Single Entry Mode fingerprint setup, if no finger is scanned for 20 seconds, the 'Fingerprint issue? Press Back or Reboot to fix.' message now drops down with a Reboot button, the same help normal setup already gives.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode fingerprint setup where going back after the first scan left a half-finished fingerprint on the sensor. Going back now clears it so the scan starts over cleanly.
- Improved: Single Entry Mode PINs and PIN recovery details are now kept inside the safe's encrypted database. Nothing changes in how you use it.
- Improved: the Single Entry Mode setup, guest login and welcome screens were redesigned to match our final designs, with centered titles, PIN pad and fingerprint artwork, a cleaner phone number screen, and larger icons and error messages.
- Added: on the Single Entry Mode WhatsApp code screen, a Skip button now appears after 30 seconds, and a 'Didn't receive the message?' prompt sits above the Resend button.
- Improved: the Single Entry Mode 'You are all set up!' screen now waits 10 minutes (was 5 seconds) before moving on by itself, and any touch restarts the wait. Tapping Finished still moves on right away.
- Added: in Single Entry Mode, the login screen now shows a 'Press + to set up a Single Entry Access' prompt, an 'Admin Settings' button, and Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links.
- Fixed a bug in Single Entry Mode setup where pressing Back on the phone number screen went to the 'fingerprint added' screen, which then jumped forward again by itself. Back now returns to the fingerprint scan.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, Settings → Users lists only the owner and hides adding new users, and the owner is shown as 'Owner' everywhere on the safe, such as Settings, the activity log and the greeting.
- Changed: in Single Entry Mode, the PIN recovery switch in Settings → Security reads 'Allow PIN recovery' instead of 'Allow PIN recovery for all users'.
- Improved: in Single Entry Mode, after a guest taps Forgot PIN and a temporary PIN is sent by WhatsApp, the Forgot PIN button rests for 30 seconds, so a second PIN is not sent by mistake.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.5.2
- Fixed: if a download stalls or the server rejects the update file, the screen now reliably shows a clear error instead of waiting indefinitely.
- Fixed: an update that briefly drops and resumes its download no longer triggers a false "download stalled" error.
- Fixed: a rare crash that could occur if an error message appeared while the updater was closing.
- Update failures now show a clear error with a Retry option instead of getting stuck on the progress screen.
- Fixed the safe repeatedly offering an update it already has. Meaning if you were on v1 and you searched for an update, it would let you install and download v1 again. Now, it correctly shows "No new update available" and blocks a same version download.
- Every screen has estimated times so customer will know how long the entire process will take. While it's still 30 minutes in total per update, now you have a per screen visual. More accurate time-remaining estimates during install, verification, and finalizing (no more wildly inflated or stuck countdowns).
- Previously, if there was an issue trying to get an OTA, the progress-screen would freeze and stay on 0% if it couldn't get the OTA. We've reworked the entire logic behind it. FragmentProgress now detects a terminal OtaUpdate.mReason/mException → shows DialogError + retry (back to check) instead of freezing at a stuck %. Fixes the "403 on the file → frozen at 0%" hang. Added a 90s download stall watchdog as a backstop, this way the updater will never freeze and customers will have full understanding of what is taking place.
- We fixed a silly bug that if the team created an update with a v number or anything else before the version, the update would not be found. Now we've normalized the strings so only the version number is what matters, and not anything else avoiding the mismatch errors and 204 or no update available appearing.
Safe Version 0.3.4.13 - June 1, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.13
- Fixed: The "Current PIN Issue" popup; the one that appears when you set a PIN that reads the same forwards and backwards (like 1111 or 1221) and warns that Panic PIN can't be used, well it no longer disappears on its own. Previously, if you didn't tap a button within about 45 seconds, the settings inactivity timer silently closed the popup and dropped you out of the change-PIN screen, losing your choice. The popup now stays until you pick "Change PIN" or "Skip Panic PIN." Every other screen keeps its normal 45-second auto-exit.
- Improved: The "Current PIN Issue" popup now matches the look of the app's other popups. Its buttons and the back/skip arrow icons were oversized and stretched; they should now be sized and styled consistently with the rest of the dialogs.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.3.1
- Fixed a bug in the updater where the download time remaining could suddenly drop far too low, for example showing 4 seconds when about 25 seconds were left. The estimate now stays steady and leaves a little extra headroom.
- Improved: on the updater's progress screen, the time remaining now reads "… secs remaining" as soon as each step starts, instead of staying blank for the first couple of seconds.
- Added: the updater now shows the safe's battery percentage, with a battery icon, in the top-right corner of the screen.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12O - May 27, 2026
Firmware update:
- We found an annoying bug that would reboot the safe every so often. Most of the engineers told us it was a hardware issue, however, after doing tons of digging, and with the help of one of our customers, one of our developers were able to confirm it was a software issue and not a hardware issue. More specifically, the issue was a timing problem in how the safe's display synchronizes with the operating system. During some quiet periods (between uses, overnight, 4 min, 40 min, 400 min, it didn't matter), there was a small race condition where the display's sync logic could get out of step. When that happened enough times, the safe's built-in protection would restart it as a precaution. The fix was a tiny one, but the good news is it is now fixed. From now on, the display's sync stays running continuously instead of pausing during idle moments. No impact on battery or performance; just eliminates the gap where the timing could drift and force a reboot. A big thanks to our customers who always point out bugs!
- Updated the Individual Hardware Testing application to v1.17.
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12O
- Changed: in Space OS, each user's display name must now be unique on the safe. If you rename, add or import a user with a name another user already shows, the safe asks for a different display name so everyone can be told apart.
- Fixed a bug where the owner or an administrator could be locked out of the safe if two-step login wasn't finished within its 96-hour setup window. They now see a screen that lets them add the second step or switch to a different login method.
- Fixed a bug where a user added after two-step login was turned on could get less than the full 96 hours to set up their second step. Their 96 hours now count from when they were added.
- Improved: the Settings login now asks for the same second step as opening the safe. If your safe uses two-step login, you'll also need your fingerprint or your authenticator app code (or a backup code) before Settings opens.
- Improved: your Panic PIN now also works on the Settings login screen, the same way it does on the main login screen.
- Fixed: Settings now always asks for a user's PIN when the safe was opened with a Temporary Guest code.
- Added: after you sign in with an authenticator backup code, the safe now warns you when you have 3 or fewer codes left and offers to make new ones. If all your codes are used up, it asks you to generate a new set before continuing, or shows a reminder if the safe is offline.
- Fixed: the "access revoked" popup no longer stays on the screen forever. It now closes on its own after 45 seconds and returns to the home screen, like Space OS's other popups.
- Improved: with fingerprint plus PIN login, if you scan your fingerprint on the main login screen and then tap Settings, the Settings login remembers it for that same user, so you only need to enter your PIN.
- Added: when you create or change your PIN or pattern and the confirmation doesn't match, the safe now plays the same incorrect-attempt sound you hear after a wrong PIN at login.
- Changed: a new pattern must now connect at least 2 dots. Drawing just one dot shows "Connect at least 2 dots. Please try again."
- Improved: the screen that confirms deleting a fingerprint now shows the photo and name of the user whose fingerprint you're about to delete.
- Improved: on a user's authenticator settings page, "Remove current connection" and "Generate new backup codes" now check that the safe is online first. If it isn't, the safe says Wi-Fi isn't connected and offers to open the Wi-Fi list.
- Fixed a bug where the new Clock lock screen could crash the safe's display when it came up.
- Added: your fingerprint now works on the Settings login screen, just like on the main login screen. Depending on your login setup it opens Settings or counts as one of your two steps, and wrong fingerprints count toward lockdown as usual.
- Fixed a bug where the system status bar and navigation buttons could show at the top and bottom of the safe's screen. Space OS is full-screen again and hides them again after popups close.
- Improved: when new backup codes are made, Space OS now swaps out the old set in a single step, so an interruption can no longer leave you without backup codes.
- Added: the Activity Log in Space OS now records each time someone opens Settings and how they signed in, for example "Settings accessed with PIN" or "Settings accessed with PIN and Fingerprint".
Safe Version 0.3.4.12N - May 25, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12N
- The safe now reports its own firmware version to the backend on the first heartbeat after each boot. Together with the SpaceSafe-Updater piggyback, this gives the admin portal a live view of which safe is on which firmware.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where the fingerprint reader could flash its lights and stop reading fingers after moving through several screens in a row, for example after visiting Settings.
- Improved: in Space OS, the finger picker you see when adding a fingerprint now has much larger tap areas, so it's easier to choose the finger you want.
- Fixed: in Space OS, error messages on the Panic PIN emergency contact name screen now show the red X icon, and typing past the 20 character limit no longer keeps hidden extra letters in the name.
- Improved: in Space OS, on the fingerprint scanning screen you can now tap anywhere on the instructions, not just the small fingerprint picture, to open the fingerprint help before your first scan.
- Fixed: in Space OS, Settings → About → Connect to App now checks for a working internet connection first and tells you if the safe isn't connected, instead of leaving you on an empty screen when our servers can't be reached.
- Fixed: in Space OS, Settings → Display now opens at the top instead of jumping down the page, and the lock screen picker now scrolls to the lock screen you have selected (before, this only worked when None was selected).
- Added: in Space OS, when the owner's profile is removed and ownership is handed to another user, the activity log now shows who was made the new owner, and a case where the chosen user was not actually made owner is fixed. Removing a user now needs an internet connection, with a clear not connected message if the safe is offline.
- Improved: in Space OS, the page dots on the avatar creation screens are now dark grey with the current one in white, so it's easier to see which option you're on.
- Fixed a bug where long avatar outfit names were cut off. They now wrap onto two lines. Also fixed a rare problem when closing the "access revoked" message.
- Improved: in Space OS, tapping a question in Settings → About → Help now scrolls its answer into view, and a rare crash when opening and closing questions is fixed.
- Added: in Space OS, a Skip option on the "add your Two-Factor Authentication" screen when creating a profile, so you're no longer stuck if you can't install an authenticator app right away. Also: Back no longer steps through every retry when creating a PIN or pattern, the "add another fingerprint" screen no longer has a back arrow (choose Yes or No), and the setup date and time screen refreshes right after you switch automatic time.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where the date on the home screen didn't change at midnight and could show yesterday's date until someone touched the screen. It now also updates right away when the time or time zone is changed.
- Improved: in Space OS, a suspended user who enters their PIN or pattern now sees an access revoked message and the safe stays closed. A correct PIN now also always clears earlier wrong attempts.
- Added: in Space OS, when building your avatar you can now tap the option in the middle to go to the next step, or tap an option at the side to bring it to the middle.
- Improved: in Space OS, Settings → Clock → Change Time now opens at the current time in your chosen 12 or 24 hour format, and a switch between 12 and 24 hour made there is now saved along with the time.
- Improved: in Space OS, Settings → WiFi now shows a please wait spinner while WiFi is turning on or off, and the screen's message and network list always match whether WiFi is on.
- Improved: in Space OS, when someone who isn't an administrator taps an admin-only setting, a short drop-down message now says "Sorry, only administrators can toggle this setting." instead of a popup that had to be closed.
- Improved: in Space OS, when you change or review your lock screen unlock location from Settings → Display, the last screen now has a Save button instead of a Next arrow.
- Improved: in Space OS, the QR code screen for connecting a user to The Space App now shows that user's avatar and name, and the instructions start with their name, so it's clear whose profile is being connected.
- Added: a new Clock lock screen in Space OS. Pick it in Settings → Display to show the live time and date in the middle of the screen.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where the first forecast row on the Weather lock screen could sit on top of the time and date.
- Improved: in Space OS, the Weather lock screen now shows its forecast layout right away, shows a message while it waits for weather data, and fetches the weather by itself when none is saved or the saved forecast is more than 2 hours old.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where switching from the Weather lock screen to the Clock lock screen could leave the weather waiting message on screen.
- Added: in Space OS, the Privacy and Terms screen now shows an inactivity countdown and closes on its own after 3 minutes without a touch, taking you back to the lock screen (or to the start of setup if setup isn't finished).
- Added: in Space OS, the bar at the top of the screen now turns green while the safe is open, including when it was opened with the physical key, and stays green if the safe restarts while still open.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.3
- We've implemented a smarter update delivery. Updates are now requested from the SpaceSafe admin platform instead of fetching from a single fixed manifest file. This lets us roll out updates to specific groups of safes (beta first, then everyone else) and re-target individual safes without redeploying. No visible change during a normal update.
- Cleaner Check For Updates retry. If the safe can't read its own serial number for some reason (extremely rare on production hardware), the Updater now re-enables the Check For Updates button so you can retry. Previously, it would fall back to a generic URL that probably wouldn't have worked either.
- Visual polish and minor consistency cleanup on the download and install screens (carried forward from v1.2 / v1.1 changes; nothing new behavior-wise).
- Improved: the Complete Release Notes screen in the updater now loads the latest release notes from the SpaceSafe server, with each version and date clearly highlighted, instead of only showing notes stored on the safe.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12M - May 22, 2026
SpaceUpdater update: v1.0.3
- We created an entire new OTA system ourselves to ensure that all devices can now have OTA updates. This is an MVP version and there are minor bugs that we have that will be improved over time. Over the next few months we will continue to build out our entire OTA system with more advanced features and reliability.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.2
- At the end of a download and install, users are required to boot their safe to finalize the installation. Previously, the screen would be displayed indefinitely until a user would push the reboot button. We've now added an autoboot. If the finalize step takes longer than 3 minutes and user doesn't push the reboot button, the safe now reboots itself instead of waiting for a manual power-cycle. This recovers stuck installs unattended.
- Previously, if you pushed on the Check for Updates button, it would check and save the version information locally. This meant if you pushed the Check for Updates button again, the information would check locally instead of checking online again. Which meant you would get stale information after every second button push. The only fix before was to reboot the safe. We have fixed this. Now every time you push Check for Updates, a fresh check from the server takes place. The first tap stays clean (no cache-buster) for normal traffic.
- Added: the updater's final "Reboot required" screen now shows a live countdown, for example "Rebooting in 2 min, 30 secs", so you can see when the safe will restart on its own.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12L - May 10, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12L
- Settings slider improvements. You can now see the exact level of every slider in Settings while you adjust it. The Display Brightness slider (Settings → Display) and all four volume sliders under Settings → System → Sounds (Tamper & Lockdown, Door Left Open, Keypad, Two-way Talk Speaker) now show a percentage (0-100%) under the slider that updates in real time as you drag.
- Our browser now opens within our system and not outside (Added in our last update). Now, external links open in a built-in browser. Tapping a link in an FAQ answer (or in Terms / Privacy) now opens the page right inside the app, no more dead taps. A simple Back button returns you to where you previously were.
- Fixed a bug on the Welcome / Safe unlocked screen where the inactivity timer would remain visible (frozen at "45 seconds") after closing the Settings screen. The timer text now clears as soon as you return to a screen that isn't supposed to show it.
- If WiFi was off, and you decide to turn it on, we added a spinner to show that the networks are loading. Previously, you would have no idea it was working after you turned it on. Better UX.
- When you go to Settings → Users → User Profile → Activity Log, the inactivity timer was still being displayed, we removed this.
- If you logged in by entering a PIN rather than fingerprint, the blue light would stay on for 2 seconds. We fixed this. Blue light turns off if you use the correct PIN.
- Temp Guest Access We fixed a big bug: Temporary Guest button no longer disappears after a wrong PIN. Previously, a single mistyped digit would remove the Temporary Guest login option entirely, even after restarting the safe, which means guests would be locked out after only 1 try. Guests can now retry as many times as they need within the 5-minute window.
- Temp Guest Access. We added a live countdown timer. The Temporary Guest login screen now shows a clear countdown ("Login within 4 min, 47 seconds", etc) so guests can see exactly how much time they have left to enter their code before expiration.
- Temp Guest Access. Improved incorrect PIN feedback. Wrong attempts now show a brief red screen flash and a friendly message at the top, replacing the heavier full-screen error view; calmer, clearer, and consistent with the rest of the app.
- Temp Guest Access.Improved on clearer error messages when entering a PIN for Temporary Guest login, and it doesn't gain guest access.
- Door left open issue fixed. Door Left Open alert no longer goes silent after a key-then-PIN sequence. Previously, opening the safe with the physical key, closing it, then later opening with a PIN could leave the safe in a state where Door Left Open never fired again. Now correctly armed every time.
- Door left open issue fixed. Door Left Open timer no longer leaves leftover state after a key-mode lock. When you re-lock the safe with the physical key, the silent 5-minute countdown is now properly cancelled so it doesn't fire wrong alerts later.
- Screen off issue fixed. Inserting the physical key now wakes the screen automatically. Previously, if the screen was in display-off mode, the safe wouldn't notice the key until you tapped the screen first. Now it shows the "Opened with Key" screen immediately, and returns to display-off as soon as you finish. Much better UX.
- Temp Guest Access improved UX. Previously a "Please wait" spinner would appear and flash after a guest would enter their PIN. It now does not appear unless verification is taking longer than expected.
- Temp Guest Access. Fixed a brief red flash that occasionally appeared when entering the CORRECT Temporary Guest PIN (especially right after a wrong attempt). Correct PINs now go straight through cleanly with no flash.
- Temp Guest Access improved UX. Wrong-PIN red flash now pulses four times instead of two, making it more noticeable on the Temporary Guest login screen. Guests can still start typing the next PIN immediately during the first flash.
- Door left open issue fixedf. Door Left Open alert and alarm sound now appear properly over the display-off screen. Previously, if the display went black before the 5-minute DLO timer fired, the alert was hidden behind the black overlay and the alarm sound did not play until you touched the screen.
- New User Invite from Mobiel App UX Improvement. When adding a new user from the mobile app via the temporary-access PIN, the temporary-access button now disappears the moment the new-user setup begins. Previously, the button stayed visible eventhough tapping it did nothing if the PIN was already used.
- New User UX improvment. We added a new confirmation popup when backing out of new-user setup via temporary-access. If you press back during the new-user setup wizard, the safe now asks "Are you sure?" with "Cancel Setup" and "Continue Setup" options, so you don't accidentally lose the setup session since the temporary-access PIN can't be reused once consumed.
- Panic PIN Improvmeents. We added a Panic PIN compatibility check. When you set a PIN that reads the same forwards and backwards (like 1111 or 1221), you'll now see a "Current PIN Issue" popup explaining why Panic PIN can't be used with that PIN. You can either change your PIN or continue without Panic PIN. This same check now also runs when turning on Panic PIN from Settings → Security. Previously, the toggle let you turn the feature on even if your PIN couldn't actually activate it. Even typing it shows us how horrible the UX was, sorry about that! Before this update, the Panic PIN setup screen was silently skipped for these PINs, so some users never knew the feature even existed.
- In Settings → Security, The Panic Pin toggle now has a new per-user stale visualization. If a user is using a PIN that is the same when reversed, a yellow ! icon appears next to the header, the toggle turns yellow, and there is a new inline yellow warning text below 'Change your emergency contact'.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where Settings → About → Software Update told you to connect to power even when the safe was already plugged in and fully charged.
- Improved: In Space OS, the low battery popup in Settings → About → Software Update now only appears when the safe is unplugged and below 50%, and it no longer stops you. Tap OK to go straight to the updater, or plug the safe in and the popup closes by itself and opens the updater.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where, after tapping Change PIN on the "Current PIN Issue" popup, you had to press Back three times to get back to the screen where you choose your PIN type. One press now takes you back.
- Improved: In Space OS, if you try to turn on Panic PIN in Settings → Security and are asked to change your PIN first, the safe now picks up where you left off. Once your new PIN is set, the Panic PIN switch turns on and the emergency contact setup starts, instead of the switch staying off.
- Fixed a bug in Settings → Security in Space OS where the Panic PIN switch could show the wrong on or off position, and where it shifted down when the yellow warning appeared. The switch now shows its real state and stays in place.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.1
- Time remaining during downloads now shows how much longer your update will take (estiamted), smoothed so it doesn't bounce around.
- Smarter Wi-Fi handling. Brief WiFi blips no longer trigger error popups; if the dialog does appear, it auto-dismisses the moment Wi-Fi comes back.
- Power requirement moved to the right step. You can now browse and check for updates anytime regardless of battery power; the safe only needs to be plugged in (or above 50% battery) when you actually start an install.
- "Change Wi-Fi" button on the no-internet dialog opens your Wi-Fi settings directly. Previously, there was no option for this, and user could get stuck in the app without being able to touch anything if there was no internet.
- Back button fix on the Release Notes screen now correctly returns you to whichever screen you came from. Previously, back button would just leave the Updater app.
- Visual polish now has clearer dialog wording. Ex. "Battery too low" instead of "Low charge!", button labels also improved.
- Improved: in the updater, if you tap Install and get the "Battery too low" message, plugging in the charger now closes the message and starts the install for you.
- Added: the Check for Updates button in the updater now shows a spinning icon while the safe checks for a new update, so you can tell it is working.
- Improved: the updater now shows the same walking spaceman animation as Space OS at the bottom of the screen, softly fading into the background, instead of a still picture.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12K - April 29, 2026
In this update we made major network connectivity upgrades.
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12K
- We had a major bug in our hard reset that could have made you wait hours or even days to hard reset your safe. We've completely rebuilt the hard reset process. We have even added a new step-by-step progress screen so you can easily see exactly what's happening, live progress updates, the option to skip optional steps, and smart handling if your WiFi disconnects. Resets are now faster, clearer, and more reliable on every safe, regardless of how long it's been in use.
- Reduced unnecessary network activity. The Security and Camera settings pages no longer send data to our servers when you simply open and close them without making any changes. Previously, every visit to these screens triggered a background sync even if nothing was touched. Now, data is only sent when you actually change a setting.
- Better behavior when offline. On safes with intermittent connectivity, this change prevents a backlog of redundant sync requests from piling up while offline and flooding the network when the connection returns.
- Camera toggle reliability. The interior and exterior camera switches now verify that the change was successfully applied at the hardware level. If the camera system isn't ready, the switch automatically reverts, so what you see on screen always matches the safe's actual state. Previously, toggling the switch may just be a visual thing without actually having turned the hardware on/off.
- Crash on Security settings fixed. We fixed a rare edge case where quickly navigating away from the Security settings page while it was still loading could cause the safe's display to crash.
- Pre-fill PIN when switching to Settings login. If you start entering your PIN on the main login screen and then tap the Settings button, your profile selection and the digits you've already typed now carry over automatically. No need to re-select your profile or re-enter the partial PIN. Switching profiles on the Settings login screen clears the carried-over digits, now works as expected.
- Code cleanup. Removed unused code paths.
- Wi-Fi Settings Bug. Fixed a bug where the available networks list could stop refreshing after navigating away from the Wi-Fi settings page and returning. Networks now refresh reliably every time the page is opened.
- Display Settings Crash: Fixed a rare crash that could occur if the wallpaper preview was still showing when navigating away from the display settings page.
- Software Update & About screens. Fixed the battery status listener not being properly cleaned up when leaving the Software Update page.
- Security & Camera Settings. Settings are no longer pushed to the server when opening and closing these pages without making any changes. This reduces unnecessary network traffic, especially on devices with intermittent connectivity.
- Activity log's calendar now follows the activity list when scrolling past 2+ months; blue selection dot on the right in calendar view stays visible.
- Activity log's calendar (on the right) scroll direction reversed to match activity list. Now both the activity log and the calendar view scroll down for older content. Previously the calendar on the right would scroll the opposite way.
- Nice little feature. In the activity log, we added a slim progress bar under the "Activity Log" title that shows download progress when fetching activity logs from the server. The bar fills 0-100% as pages load, then fades away.
- After we deleted a user, we were accidentally deleting the logs of that user as well. We've fixed this. Activity logs are no longer deleted when a user is removed from the safe. Deleted user's display name is stamped onto their logs as "Name (removed)" so their activity remains identifiable, and the deleted user's avatar is preserved on disk so their photo still appears in the activity log.
- After a successful single-fingerprint deletion, we now show a top-alert dropdown "Your {finger} was successfully removed." with the green-check icon, instead of silently popping back to the fingerprints list.
- After a successful PIN or Pattern change, we now show a top-alert dropdown confirming the change.
- When the safe was offline, it would keep all logs and try to push them to the cloud even if there was no internet connection. This would make the system extremely laggy. We've fixed this bug.
- Added over 40 new dropdown errors to help users understand if there's a problem. This way support can assist if needed.
- When you clicked on Settings → About: scrolling was very laggy during scrolling. This is now smooth.
- Settings → Clock → Change Location: if the location you entered can't be found, the screen now stays open with an error message so you can correct it. Previously, the screen closed, your input was lost, and you would never know.
- Settings → Users → Timed Access: you can now tap outside the "Add a slot" popup to close the popup.
- Settings → Users → Timed Access: error messages now appear above the popup. Previously, error messages were hidden behind popups.
- Settings → Display → Lock Screen review: the Reset button now lets you pick a new unlock location, and if you back out without setting one, a clear "No new unlock location has been set" message is shown. It was slightly confusing for some users before.
- Fixed a issue where the PIN recovery toggle sometimes wouldn't save when tapped right after opening the page. A loading indicator now shows until the page is ready for a better UX.
- Improved error messages when a Wi-Fi network fails to disconnect.
- Fixed an issue where PIN recovery would fail to activate after completing setup. Previously, during setup, if you activated PIN recovery, it wasn't turning on.
- On timed access screen; Settings → Users → Timed Access, we added a visual line to help see what time we currently are at.
- Added additional security layers to our system. (Nothing you will see or feel, but something you should know about, because it's great!)
- Fixed an issue where the brightness slider in Display Settings (Settings → Display) could show an incorrect value after the screen woke from display-off mode. The slider now always reflects your safe's current brightness level.
- Fixed an issue in the Wi-Fi settings screen (Settings → WiFi), where open (password-free) networks incorrectly displayed a lock icon and hid the signal-strength icon (hidden icons were displaying swapped). Open networks now correctly show only the signal strength, and the lock icon appears only on password-protected networks.
- Originally we didn't allow for any outside web access. We've added in-app browser for captive-portal sign-in and any hyperlinks that are in our system.
- Previously, offline mode had some lag issues. We fixed this and it opened pandoras box, and we reworked the entire offline mode. The safe now remains fast and smooth even when WiFi drops. Previously, weak or absent WiFi could make the safe feel sluggish, settings would lag, the user avatar would briefly disappear in Settings, and cloud commands would take time to register. That's all fixed. Big win!
- We added faster recovery when WiFi comes back. When your safe reconnects to the internet, your mobile app sees the safe's current status (locked/unlocked, alarm state, battery, temperature) within about a second. Previously, it would wait for low-level information to be sent first. We've reprioritized everything for a smooth experience.
- Reliable event reporting. Important events like tamper detection, lockdown activation, and access attempts are now guaranteed to reach the cloud, even if your internet is intermittent or the cloud is briefly unavailable. Huge upgrade and fix.
- Smarter response to weak WiFi. The safe now correctly recognizes "fake WiFi" situations like hotel sign-in pages, and won't burn battery trying to reach the cloud through them. As we work on our system, we will continue to make improvements to battery and WiFi.
- Made some updates to Faux Radio, Faux Printer, and Weather lockscreens.
- Changed: Each user can now enroll up to 5 fingers (previously up to 10), because every finger now stores extra scans for better recognition. If you try to add a sixth finger, or the fingerprint sensor's memory is full, Space OS now shows a clear message telling you why.
- Fixed: When adding a Wi-Fi network by typing its name, leaving the name blank now shows 'Please enter a network name to continue.' instead of going back with no network name.
- Added: Settings → About now shows the Space OS build number on its own 'Build Number' line under the version, so support can see exactly which build your safe is running.
- Fixed a bug where the fingerprint sensor restarted itself every few seconds while nobody was touching it, leaving short moments when a finger could be missed. It now only restarts after a real sensor error.
- Fixed a bug where the fingerprint sensor could stop responding after the login screen timed out and went back to the home screen. The sensor now finishes restarting on its own.
- Improved: After a fingerprint is recognized, the green light now stays on for 2 seconds (up from 1.2 seconds), so the confirmation is easier to see.
- Improved: The Display step of the safe's setup now lines up with the Lock Screen and Exterior Lights steps. Its title, text and buttons used to sit noticeably lower than on those screens, and its buttons now match the style used everywhere else.
- Improved: during a hard reset in Space OS, if uploading the diagnostic logs fails, the safe now keeps retrying for up to 20 minutes instead of giving up after three quick tries. The Skip button stays available the whole time.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where the Display step of setup did not highlight the option you picked (screen off after 45 seconds, or always on). Your choice now shows a clear orange outline.
- Improved: the hard reset progress screen in Space OS is easier to read, skips the "Deleting fingerprints" step when no fingerprints are saved, and ends with a "Rebooting in 7…" countdown.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where tapping Done in Settings → Users → User Profile → PIN Recovery did not save, so the switch could show on while PIN recovery stayed off. Done and Back now both save your choice, and a message confirms PIN recovery was turned on or off, or tells you all recovery questions are needed first.
- Improved: clearer messages in Space OS when adding a Timed Access slot, for example "The end time must be after the start time. Please try again." and "The slot must be at least an hour long. Please try again."
- Fixed: in Space OS, the yellow warning icon on messages at the top of the screen was bigger than the red and green icons. It is now the same size.
- Fixed: when a user's photo is changed from the mobile app, Space OS now shows the new photo right away on the home screen, the login screen and in Settings. Previously the old photo stayed until you left the screen and came back.
- Fixed a bug in Space OS where Timed Access slots added from a user's Timed Access row were saved but not switched on, so they did not take effect. Adding a slot now switches Timed Access on automatically, and removing every slot switches it off.
- Improved: the Faux Radio and Faux Printer lockscreens in Space OS now show live temperature, battery and Wi-Fi readings, and the Faux Printer lockscreen shows today's date and time. Previously these were painted into the picture and never changed.
- Improved: dates in Space OS now read naturally without a leading zero, for example "April 6, 2026" instead of "April 06, 2026".
- Improved: the Weather lockscreen in Space OS keeps showing the forecast while the safe is offline, instead of going blank after 8 hours without an update. Today's card now also shows the high and low and when the weather was last updated, for example "Yesterday" or "3 days ago".
- Fixed: on the Picture lockscreen in Space OS, a placeholder animation flashed for about a second each time the screen came back (for example after waking) before your photo appeared. Your photo now shows straight away.
- Fixed: opening Settings → Display in Space OS no longer shows the brightness slider at zero for a moment before it jumps to your current level.
- Improved: the in-app browser in Space OS now shows the walking spaceman while a page loads, and opens plain http links securely instead of showing an error. If a link still can't be opened, you see a simple "This link can't be opened" page asking you to tap Back, instead of a technical error screen.
- Improved: Wi-Fi passwords saved on the safe now get their own layer of encryption.
- Improved: Space OS now sends diagnostic logs to our servers in small batches a couple of minutes apart, so a large backlog gets through in full, and logs saved while the safe was offline are sent shortly after it reconnects.
- Improved: Restart and Shut down now use a more direct, dependable method.
- Improved: when you add a fingerprint, a finger still resting on the reader from the previous touch no longer counts as the next scan, and the first scan is accepted sooner.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12J - April 14, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12J
- Fixed an issue where exterior lights set to "Always On" would flicker when navigating between screens. Lights now remain steady as expected.
- Fixed an issue where the green success light flash was being cut short when lights are set to "Always On". The green LED lights confirmation now displays for the full duration before returning to steady state.
- We improved fingerprint recognition accuracy. Each finger now captures multiple templates during enrollment for more reliable matching across different finger angles and pressures.
- Faster unlock experience. Fingerprint authentication now provides instant feedback, the safe begins unlocking the moment your finger is recognized. In less than 1 second, the fingerprint already authenticates and unlocks the safe. The splash screen takes longer than the actual unlocking.
- Improved fingerprint sensor reliability. Resolved an issue where the fingerprint sensor could become unresponsive and require a device reboot. The sensor now recovers automatically. We hope we fixed it all, and if we didn't, we can with a future OTA update.
- Better visual feedback for fingerprint readings. The green light on successful scan and red light on failed scan are now clearly visible for the full LED duration, even during screen transitions. Previously, they were getting cut almost instantly.
- Sensor troubleshooting prompt. If for any reason, the fingerprint sensor stops responding, the device will now suggest a reboot after 20 seconds of inactivity, available on all fingerprint screens, including enrollment, login, and settings. A reboot will fix any lingering sensor issues.
- Improved fingerprint deletion. Deleting a fingerprint now confirms removal from the sensor hardware before updating the device records, preventing sync issues.
- Volume settings are now properly in sync. Changes made in system are automatically reflected in the Safe OS volume sliders.
- If someone had Lockdown on tamper set to on, previously once you were logged into settings, lockdown could activate. We have fixed this. Now, if a user is logged into settings, tamper-triggered lockdown is properly disabled, preventing false lockdowns during normal use.
- Lockdown via the mobile app continues to work at all times, for added security, lockdown via mobile app even works while a user is in settings.
- Mobile lockdown now correctly cancels an in-progress factory reset countdown, allowing the owner to intervene.
- Once a factory reset begins, lockdown is fully disabled to prevent the device from entering a corrupted state.
- Lockscreen previews! You can now hold down on any lockscreen thumbnail in Display settings to see a fullscreen preview of a lockscreen before selecting it. Once fullscreen preview is up, just tap anywhere to close, or it auto-closes after 10 seconds.
- Previously, avatar images would flicker when navigating between screens. We have now fixed this. Avatars now load smoothly with no visible blank flash.
- Fixed a major system lag. When the device is offline, background tasks would attempt to constantly upload logs, which clogged the system. We have fixed this, and logs no longer attempt to upload without an internet connection, eliminating unnecessary network timeouts.
- Diagnostic logs now upload newest first when connectivity is restored, prioritizing the most recent and relevant data. Before, it would upload the oldest first, which was pointless.
- Cool new feature. When switching from the login screen to settings, if you select a profile and enter any PIN digits in the login screen, they now carry over automatically to the settings login. No need to re-type from scratch or reselect a user.
- The login screen now automatically returns to the home screen after 45 seconds of inactivity. This way lockscreens or display can turn off.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12I - January 28, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12I
- Several months ago we added red light flashing for incorrect PIN, and that worked great. But we dropped the ball and didn't add it for incorrect fingerprint or incorrect authentication code, etc. So now anytime you put an incorrect authentication type, the red lights will always flash.
- If the user puts an incorrect fingerprint, the incorrect fingerprint screen appears for 3 seconds. We added, if you click on the screen, it will remove the screen, this way user does not have to wait for the 3 seconds to elapse.
Firmware update:
- Updated the Individual Hardware Testing application to v1.14.
- Improved: Simpler wording on the setup screens for Normal mode and Quick Setup cards.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12H4 - January 28, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12H4
- Fixed an issue where custom volume settings would carry over after a hard reset. Now, after a hard reset and completing a new setup, all volume levels will properly reset to 100%.
- Improved notification-level restrictions for bad serial numbers. These settings are now properly limited when needed.
- The lowest volume level for alarms and door left open sounds were a little too high. Now it's set to a minimum of 3%.
- Fixed an issue where the alarm previews were not always playing at the correct maximum volume level.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12H3 - January 08, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12H3
- After completing the setup, some people did not know how to use the system. Many did not select the avatar to login. Therefore, after a new setup, we added a tutorial on how to use the safe. If in Settings you later added a new user, that tutorial is now also showing up one time for that new user to get familiar with the safe.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.0.3
- New splash screen on app launch
- "Sync with OTA service" step on every launch and now Updater picks up where you left off if an update was already in progress if you leave and come back in to the app.
- Dedicated Release Notes screen for new updates.
- Cleaner error and timeout dialogs.
- Refreshed visual style across the app.
- Added: the updater now closes by itself and returns to Space OS after 4 minutes without a touch, except while an update is downloading or installing.
- Added: tapping the Automatically update switch in the updater now shows a short message that this feature is still under development.
- Improved: the note in the updater now says the safe needs power during an install, which can take about 30 minutes, and the install progress screen now warns you not to unplug the safe.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12H2 - January 06, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12H2
- When fingerprint enrollment was on the screen, if someone tried place their finger on the screen instead of placing their finger on the sensor, we had a static display come up. It was confusing for some, so we replaced it with GIF tutorial to avoid any confusion.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12H1 - January 04, 2026
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12H1
- If we had tried to install the OS, and the fingerprint modules weren't lining up, then it would cause the system to crash. With this update, if the firmware and OS don't match, then the OS will not crash. This is a safety net.
- Changed: To save battery, when the Door Left Open alert sounds while the safe is on battery below 80% (or on an older safe with power limits), Space OS now holds its volume at a medium level and lowers it further for 30 minutes after every 20 minutes. It never plays louder than your own volume setting.
- Added: groundwork for a new fingerprint system. This is still in testing phase, and not yet active to the public.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12H - December 22, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12H
- We found a bug, that when you enrolled a new fingerprint at a later time, it would replace a previously enrolled fingerprint. This was fixed.
- If the exterior lights were on and you opened the door with the key, after around 60 seconds it would flash the exterior lights on again. This was fixed. Now when you open with the key, it only shows the success lights 1x until it you close the door with the key. The issue was that in the background, the display off was trying to go on at the same time if you didn't touch the display.
- If you opened the safe with key, and the door stayed unlocked with the key for over 2 minutes, once you locked the safe with the key, the safe every so often would flash the exterior lights green as if you had just unlocked the safe with the key again every 60 seconds. This bug was fixed. Now when you open the safe with the key, it will only show the green success lights only one time. The cause was a bug happening in the background with the display off.
- Our "connect app" button in settings, user profile, was being displayed on secondary screens and not just the main screen. We fixed this. Now the "connect app" button only shows up on the main screen of the user profile.
- Used lowercase T in "Allow 1x temporary guest access" for uniformity.
- Renamed "Super Screen Saver" to "Secure Screen Saver". For users to better understand feature.
- Added a hyphen for "Non administrators" for uniformity.
- When you use the key to unlock the safe, we have added a door left open popup that is slightly different than door left open popup that appears when you are using the motor to unlock the safe with a PIN or fingerprint. In addition, the door left open when using the key appears after 5 minutes vs the normal 60 second one. Lights and alarm sounds are the same in both door left opens.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12G - October 29, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12G
- For old devices that have issues with power, we put restrictions in our OS, so customers do not have to make any manual changes on their own. This includes, (A) no yellow light, no mixing of colors, only 1 solid light at a time. (B) Always on feature not allowed for exterior lights. (C) Max volume limits lowered for certain sounds.
- To preserve energy, if you have the old device with bad power, or if you are connected to battery, then when the door left open comes up and stays up for 2 minutes, then the interior lights will turn off. After 5 minutes, the exterior lights will turn off. The door left open music will stay on until the either the 'door left open' screen is closed. On older safes with power limits, you can turn these timers off while the safe is plugged in, in Settings → System → Override my safe's light restrictions. Please keep in mind if you want to do turn on this feature, it will drain your battery.
- Exterior lights "Always on" option is now selectable, however, if you have a safe with power issues, it will not allow you to activate it.
- If you entered an incorrect pin, then the door left open came up, it was playing incorrect pin sound instead of door left open sound. We fixed this bug.
- In settings, system, we added a toggle that overrides the door left open timers for old devices with bad power. We highly recommend leaving this toggled "off", so the battery does not die at a rapid pace. We also placed a descriptive popup.
- Previously when a sound played, it would not end that sound. So sometimes those previously sounded alerts would play again at the wrong time. We have now added new code to end a sound after it completes, this way sounds will play properly on each alert.
- Fixed a bug where the lockdown alarm siren might not start if another sound, such as the wrong PIN sound or the Door Left Open alert, was already playing. The siren now always takes priority.
- Improved: when the safe can't join a Wi-Fi network during setup, it now tells you why in red: the password is wrong, the connection timed out, the network needs a sign-in page, or the router has no internet.
- Added: during setup, tapping a language other than English now shows a short note that only English is available for now.
- Improved: in Settings → Wi-Fi, if a network can't be joined because the password is wrong, or it still hasn't connected after about 25 seconds, the safe now opens the password screen so you can enter it again.
- Fixed: in Settings → Wi-Fi, the Auto-join switch now shows each network's real setting instead of always showing on, and leftover test messages no longer pop up when you change Auto-join, disconnect, or forget a network.
- Added: in Space OS setup, tapping Notify on the Exterior Lights step now shows you what it means: the exterior lights flash red twice, the way they do for an alert such as a wrong PIN.
- Added: the Door Left Open popup has a Click to Lock button, so you can lock the safe straight from the alert instead of only snoozing it.
- Improved: in the Wi-Fi network lists (during setup and in Settings → Wi-Fi), the network the safe is connected to now always shows at the top, followed by the other networks from strongest to weakest signal.
- Changed: after a hard reset, the safe's name goes back to "The Space Safe".
Safe Version 0.3.4.12F4 - October 21, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12F4
- If the door is left open, we have a door left open that comes on the entire screen. We had some feedback that said it was hard to understand that what it was, so we've developed a new door left open pop up as an alternative. Users now have the option to select which door left open that they want. Easily switch between both options by going to Settings, Security, then scroll down to Door left open visual appearance.
- If the safe's display settings were set to turn off after 45 seconds of no use, and the door was left open, previously, the screen would turn off. This was an obvious security issue since the door is open, the display should not turn off. We've resolved this. Now the display will not turn off if the safe is opened.
- If the door was left open, and you were still using the safe, either in the settings or activity log, the door left open would pop up. We've fixed this and added a pause and resume when activity log or settings was gone, the timer for door left open would resume.
- UI change - Changed the red ! alert that appears on incorrect PIN, door left open, etc.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12F3 - October 12, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12F3
- We’ve added special light notifications tied to unique safe activities. The exterior lights now change color to visually indicate specific events and actions that take place: (A) gain access to safe (B) lock safe (C) left door open (D) incorrect pin (E) lockdown enabled.
- For the lights, we added a new option called "Notify" which is for the exterior lights for "Notifications Only". Therefore, we added new UI buttons to be able to select that option. Additions were made to the Exterior Lights in initial setup, and in security settings.
- Made "notify" lights the default exterior lights for quicksetup instead of "always off".
- When you hard reset the safe, there is a countdown timer, which now is joined with flashing red lights.
- Improved Wi-Fi setup behavior. The safe now connects faster, prefers the exact network you selected, and clearly shows which Wi-Fi it joined. If it connects to a different saved network, it will still continue setup but display that network’s name so you know which one it’s using.
- For exterior light selection, if you try to select a color on the rainbow ribbon, it will dropdown feature not yet available. Select red, green, blue only. Previously nothing would happen if you touched the rainbow ribbon.
- If your exterior lights were set to turn off after 45 seconds (default), and you had both a lock screen and Display Off enabled, touching the screen correctly turned the lights back on when showing the lock screen. However, when Display Off reactivated after the 45 seconds, the lights stayed on instead of turning off. This has been fixed. Now, when 'Display Off' activates, the lights now correctly turn off as intended.
- On safe reboot or crash, if the exterior lights were set to default 45 seconds, the lights would not turn off once the system reboots, and the 45 display off turned off. Now they do.
- During Wi-FI Setup, if you click on the Skip button, and you already connected to a Wi-Fi network in the past, it will now autoconnect you to a previously saved Wi-Fi, and display a confirmation page with that SSID.
- During initial Wi-FI setup, if you are already connected to a Wi-FI network, then it will have the network bars filled with the color of the network signal.
- Wi-Fi signal was not showing the right signal in the header as it was in the selecting Wi-Fi and connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
- Added the separation of SSID and BSSID for better connectivity.
- Wi-Fi signal was showing incorrect signals. Medium signals were showing up as low signals.
- Wi-Fi now prioritizes 5ghz instead of 2ghz. Showing stronger signals and boosting efficiency.
- During setup, when you get to the choose mode screen, we had several "coming soon" items. We added a dropdown if someone tries to push one of the other modes.
- In setup mode, if you selected quick setup, then set a Wi-FI and connected, but then decided to go back, the screen got stuck on Wi-FI connected. We fixed this bug.
- In Quick Setup, if you set the pin and now the screen is on "confirm pin", if you clicked back, it went back to Wi-FI setup instead of 'set pin' screen. We fixed this bug. Now if you click on the back button on confirm pin, it will go to "set pin" screen.
- Turn on / off wifi toggle was toggled by connection state rather than by adapter state. This bug was fixed.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12F2 - October 5, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12F2
- Display timeout behavior has been improved. Previously, if you selected "Display off after 45 seconds", it would stay as bright as the screen settings were set to. Now it automatically dims to 1% brightness instead.
- Brightness settings have been adjusted. The minimum level used to be 1%, which made the screen too dark to see. The minimum brightness is now set to 15%, ensuring the display remains visible even at its lowest setting. For adjusting the screen brightness, the system thinks 15% is now 1%.
- Originally, all alarm sounds were grouped in on group. We have now split the alarm sounds into two groups. The original “Alarms” slider has been separated into (A) Tamper and Lockdown and (B) Door Left Open. This allows users to customize volume levels independently for each alert type.
- If a user didn’t set up their mobile app connection to the safe during setup, the only way to setup the mobile app was to go into "Settings → About → Connect to App". This was hard to find, so we’ve now added another button which can be found in "Settings → Users → [user who logged into settings]", then on the top left above the user's avatar. This button is shown as “Connect App” and only appears for the user who is logged into settings since it’s tied to their unique ID.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12F1 - September 25, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12F1
- For features that were not yet completed, we previously used a popup that required pressing “OK” to close. This became annoying over time, so we changed it to a dropdown that automatically disappears after a few seconds. If a user doesn’t want to wait, they can simply swipe it away.
- If you clicked on 'Settings, About, Software Update', we have changed the 'Automatically update' toggle to hardcode as off, since our OTA right now is in beta. In order to update or check for an update, you will have to manually click "Check for update" button to open our OTA software.
Safe Version 0.3.4.12E - September 12, 2025
Firmware update:
- Previously, partition issues were occurring, and OTA updates were not always successfully updating the operating system. This has now been fixed and working 100% of the time.
- Implemented a new OTA system and service; SpaceUpdater.
- Removed Memfault OTA from the operating system.
- Updated the Master Hardware Testing application to v1.12.
- Updated the Individual Hardware Testing application to v1.13.
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12F
- Implemented the new OTA system to our OS. Fully working and testing 100% of the time.
SpaceUpdater update: v1.0
- We created an entire new OTA system ourselves to ensure that all devices can now have OTA updates. This is an MVP version and there are minor bugs that we have that will be improved over time. Over the next few months we will continue to build out our entire OTA system with more advanced features and reliability.
Space OS update: v0.3.4.12F
- Added: the setup Welcome screen now shows the battery icon and battery level at the top of the screen.
- Fixed a bug where bumping or moving the safe while its door was open could, in some cases (such as after the Door Left Open alert had appeared), set off a tamper lockdown. The safe now checks that the door is actually closed and locked before reacting to its tamper sensors.
- Improved: the confirmation popup shown before the safe restarts (for example from Settings → System → Shutdown And Restart Your Device) has a new design, with a new image and evenly sized buttons.
- Improved: the hardware testing menu has a new design. It now describes each test (All-in-One Test Screen, or a Step-by-Step Test of about 10 minutes) and adds Back and Restart buttons, and Restart asks you to confirm first.
Safe Version 0.3.4.11D - June 11 & 12, 2025
Firmware update:
- Added new fingerprint library releasing/occupying.
Space OS update: v0.3.4.11C
- Fixed fingerprint issue that would stop working at times.
- When you entered an incorrect PIN code, the error sound wouldn't always sound. This was fixed.
- Restored audio volume in some places (removed re-definition). This means if you go into settings, then system, you can drag the volume level for the group and it will change all group sound levels.
- Added uptime parameters.
Safe Version 0.3.4.11C - May 21, 2025
Firmware update:
- PMIC battery resetting bug fixed. At times the system was getting stuck in a loop.
- Made adjustments to the system crash window.
- Master hardware testing application at times would get stuck for a long time and would crash. Issue was the fingerprint driver. This was resolved.
Space OS update: v0.3.4.11C
- In the safe settings under "about", we now added a 'system uptime'
- After a new install, the camera would not work unless user rebooted to device. We added a fix that user no longer needs to reboot after an install for camera to work.
Safe Version 0.3.4.11B - May 14, 2025
Firmware update:
- New fingerprint API implementation - Improved speed and quality
- Fixed a charging reboot bug
- Fixed shutdown / reboot operation processing
- Wi-Fi null list size fix
- Space-style crash window with application auto-restart
- Added Master Hardware Test application
- Added Individual Hardware Test application
Space OS update: v0.3.4.11B
- "Open door" sound playback fix
- Playback volume fix
- Camera setting switches fix
- Tampering settings synchronization fix
- Fixed bug; several Lockdown scenarios that didn't properly activate, now it does.
Safe Version 0.3.4.11A - April 16, 2025
Firmware update:
- Added a system crash window
- Fixed WiFi empty list
Safe Version 0.3.4.105 - March 20, 2025
Space OS update: v0.3.4.105
- Integrated a new Camera API, allowing the system to better manage camera behavior, events, and communication with other safe components and mobile app features. Furthermore, if one of the cameras is offline, the mobile app will now detect it and avoid attempting a connection to that camera. If both cameras are offline, an error message will be shown to the user.
- Made updates to the "Door Left Open" behavior.
- After an initial safe setup, the default sensitivity level for Lockdown sensors is now set to 2. This ensures the safe is neither too sensitive nor too unresponsive for most users. Sensitivity can be adjusted at any time to levels 1, 2, or 3 through the Security Settings in either the safe or the mobile app.
- Fixed other bugs and minor stability issues.

A user can send a guest a one-time code from the SPACE mobile app; the guest taps that user's picture on the safe, then Temporary PIN access, and enters the code to open the safe once. Administrators can turn this off, or stop non-administrators from sending guest codes, in Settings → General → Security.
- Improved: the Weather lock screen in Space OS now shows the time and date, the current temperature with wind, humidity and pressure, and a 5-day forecast with each day's high and low. Choosing it without Wi-Fi asks you to connect first.
- Added: the Alarm, Keypad and Two-way Talk Speaker volume sliders in Settings → General → System now play a short sample when you let go, so you can hear the level you picked.
- Improved: the Weather lock screen now works without setup: the first time the safe goes online, Space OS works out the safe's city from its internet connection to get the local forecast, refreshes the forecast every 2 hours, and fills in the safe's location in Settings → General → Clock if you have not entered one.

Those users see a countdown and a prompt each time they sign in; if the time runs out they cannot open the safe until an administrator adds it for them in Settings → Users.
- Added: the incorrect attempt sound now also plays after a wrong PIN or pattern, a wrong authenticator code or a wrong backup code, both when opening the safe and when signing in to Settings.
- Improved: suspending or reactivating a user, or making someone an administrator or a regular user, now takes effect on the safe straight away, even without internet, and Space OS updates the SPACE mobile app in the background. Before, these changes failed if the safe could not reach our servers.
- Added: avatars now stay in step between the safe and the SPACE mobile app: an avatar made on the safe is shared with the SPACE mobile app, an avatar changed in the SPACE mobile app updates the safe, and a user added from the SPACE mobile app by QR code arrives with their avatar.
- Improved: when the safe is opened, Space OS now also tells the SPACE mobile app which sign-in method was used (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, authenticator code or the key), and openings with the key are now reported as well.

- Added: a Security page in Space OS (Settings → General → Security), where an administrator can change how everyone signs in (single factor, local two-factor with fingerprint and PIN, or two-factor with an authenticator app), turn the Panic PIN on or off and change its emergency contact, and turn PIN recovery on or off for all users. Info buttons explain the options, and choosing a less secure sign-in asks you to confirm first.
- Added: each user in Settings → Users now has an Authenticator page that shows whether an authenticator app is paired, where you can remove the connection or generate new backup codes, or pair an app if none is connected.
- Improved: in Settings → Users, a suspended user now shows 'Suspended' in orange under their name.
