Release history
v1.4.0 A front door of its own Aug 2026
- 🏠A home pagebricksolvr.com now shows what the app does before you open it, with models to try.
Plus a tidier app now that this page, the contact form and the privacy policy have pages of their own, faster loading all round, and a handful of small fixes.
v1.3.0 Your bricks, your colors Aug 2026
- 🧱Pick the brick sizes you ownThe Brick sizes tab is now a list of what you have, not a list to switch off. Leave it empty and anything goes.
- 🏷️Name your colorsGive any color your own name in the new Color names tab. It shows on the bricks, in the parts list and in the CSV — and you can type it anywhere a color is asked for.
- 🎨A color picker that stays putA picker of our own that remembers whether you like hex, RGB or HSL, with an eyedropper for grabbing a color off the screen.
- ⏳A better waitThe sliders and the demo list work while the page is still loading. If something goes wrong you get a plain message and a Try again button, instead of a logo spinning forever.
- 📱More room on a phone or tabletTurn your device sideways in full screen and the original and the bricks sit side by side. On iPhone and iPad, adding BrickSolvr to your Home Screen gives you more room still.
Plus tidier tabs on small screens, per-size colors in the parts list, and a handful of small fixes.
v1.2.0 A friendlier build guide Jul 2026
- ⬆️Point at a brick, watch it liftIn the build guide, point at a brick — or tap it on a touchscreen — and it floats up off the build instead of just getting a flat outline. Clearer, and a lot more fun.
- 🧭A clearer build guideMissing bricks show as empty cages, and weak or missing parts get a small status chip in the tooltip. A new Focus toggle lets you soften the layers below — or switch it off to see the build so far.
- 🖐️Smoother camera controlsOrbiting tracks your cursor more tightly and coasts to a stop when you let go. The reset button now brings back the full view — zoom, angle and position — in a single tap.
- 🖥️Fullscreen modeA new fullscreen button hands the whole screen to your model. Help and Contact tuck into a tidy menu, and hovering any control shows a friendly label.
- 📱Camera help that fits your deviceThe controls guide now shows the right gestures for your device — mouse, trackpad, phone, or a Quest or Vision Pro headset — and points out the reset-view button.
Plus clearer wording throughout, and a handful of small improvements & fixes.
v1.1.1 See it before you build Jul 2026
- 🎬A video walkthroughThe Getting started guide now opens with a quick video walkthrough that stays in view as you read the steps.
v1.1.0 A hand when it isn't a 3D model Jul 2026
- 🖼️Dropped an image by mistake?Upload a picture instead of a 3D model and BrickSolvr now points you to free models to try right away — and lets you join the waitlist for building from a photo, coming soon.
