 # Changelog
 
+## 0.0.10-alpha - 2026-09-21
+
+Version code 10.
+
+- **No Google Play, no lock.** On a device where the Google Play app is not
+  installed or is turned off, the app is free and complete. There is no way
+  to buy there, so there is nothing to lock. The licence screen says "Free on
+  this device". A bought licence still comes first. Tests: `LicenseDecideTest`.
+- The build for direct install has a tip link on the Licence screen
+  (ko-fi.com/truex). A tip unlocks nothing. The Google Play build has no such
+  link, because Google Play does not allow it.
+- The reasons in the allow step are hints of three to seven words. The app
+  says "double tap" for Power too.
