What’s new in 2.0.1
Gently now has cleaner tone categories, improved tone names, and a more polished interface. This update adds Fix Grammar, improves free and Pro tone organization, refines upgrade prompts for limits and locked features, removes distracting hover tooltips, and includes general bug fixes and compatibility improvements.

The main UI and UX updates
include the addition of hover text for locked tools,
indicating that they are part of the Pro feature upgrade.
A click-activated popup now appears for locked tools, offering options such as "Unlock with Gently Pro,"
"Try Pro free for 30 days and unlock premium tones like this one," with the ability to cancel at any time. Buttons include "Start Free Trial," "Not now," and options to differentiate between free and Pro features.

The free version now offers English and French at no cost, with Wit unlocked for free. Pro features are now more prominently displayed within the menu for clarity. Visual improvements include enhanced contrast in tool descriptions and menu text, as well as improved readability of washed-out text on certain monitors and in Microsoft Edge.
Lock display functionality has been optimized for reliability across Chrome and Edge browsers. The upgrade and subscription process has been refined, including renaming "Restore" to "Activate" or "Activate Pro" in some versions, while maintaining the 30-day free trial positioning and PayPal-based Pro flow.
