# Version 1.0.36: Backup and setup are now free > Backup, restore and adding a device to your smart home are free. The free version keeps 10 codes, ReMatter Pro removes the limit, and testers on Android get Pro free. _Released 2026-10-23 ยท Source: https://rematter.app/releases/1.0.36/_ ## Backup and setup are free Backing up, restoring and adding a device to your smart home cost nothing now. The free version keeps 10 codes. ReMatter Pro, a one-time purchase, removes the limit. Already bought ReMatter Pro? We did not forget about you. There is something for you too. If you test ReMatter on Android, you get a free Pro code. Give it to a friend, or ask for a refund and redeem it yourself (see below). ReMatter counts codes, not devices, so a merged device with two codes counts as two. The free limit does not stop a restore. A backup file with more than 10 codes restores in full. See [The free version and ReMatter Pro](/guides/free-version/). ## See how many free codes are left A ring next to the **Devices** heading shows how many free codes you used. When 3 or fewer are left, the **Scan** button shows the number. When none are left, Scan shows a lock and opens ReMatter Pro. ## Settings A gear at the top of the device list opens **Settings**. It holds **Backup & Restore**, ReMatter Pro and its purchase details, and the legal pages. The Backup & Restore screen now shows the date of the last backup file that you shared. It also shows how many codes you added or changed after that date. See [Back up and restore your codes](/guides/backup-and-restore/). ## Group or merge from one sheet Drop a device on the middle of another device, and a sheet opens with two pages. **Group** shows the new group and suggests a name. **Merge** shows whose details you keep and what changes on the other device. Swipe between the pages, then tap **Group them** or **Merge them**. If the two devices have the same protocol, the sheet offers Group only. The app now says Merge everywhere. Earlier builds called it Combine. See [Group or merge devices](/guides/group-or-merge/). ## A menu on each device The menu (three dots) on a device screen has **Add to group**, **Merge with another device** and **Delete device**. On a merged device, it has **Manage codes**, and the delete item removes only the code on screen. The Group screen is a plain view now. Its menu has **Edit group** and **Delete group**. When you take a device out of a group, a bar gives you 5 seconds to tap **Undo**. ## Arrange your list Drag a device to the top or bottom edge of another device to move it there. It takes the room, floor and group of its new place. Press and hold the top of a group card to move the whole group. A new scan goes to the top of its room. While you drag, the list opens a space where the device will land. Drop a device on a room or floor heading to put it at the top of that section. See [Arrange your device list](/guides/arrange-your-list/). ## Add a device to your smart home **Add to a smart home** opens Android's list of smart home apps right away. ReMatter copies the device's name and room first, so you can paste them in the app. The question about Google Home is gone. See [Add a saved device to your smart home](/guides/add-to-smart-home/). ## Scanning and typing a code The camera shows one short hint, and a caution to scan the device's own sticker. A code shared from another app, such as Google Home or Apple Home, works for a short time only. **Enter code manually** has two tabs, **Matter** and **HomeKit**. The Matter tab knows from the first digit whether the code has 11 or 21 digits. When the code is complete, it says "The code looks right" or "One digit looks wrong. Check the code again." After a scan, ReMatter opens the new device with the form on top of it. The name starts as the maker, or the HomeKit category, when the code names one. Save is at the top of the screen, and Back always lands on the device. The last onboarding page ends with **Scan your first device**, or **Later**. ## A fresh install A new phone with an empty list offers **Restore from a backup** next to **Scan a device**, so your codes come back first. ## ReMatter Pro The ReMatter Pro screen shows the price under its pitch. When the free version is full and you scan or type one more code, it says that this code is not saved yet. The first time you open the list, one device row wiggles to show that you can drag it. ## Free ReMatter Pro for testers If you test ReMatter on Android through the Google Play closed test, Settings offers you a free ReMatter Pro code. Tap the card, get your code, and redeem it in Google Play. If you already bought Pro, you can give the code to a friend or ask for a refund. ## A link to the full notes The note that the app shows after an update now gives the main change only. Tap **All the details** to open these release notes. ## Fixes - When a device row has more labels than fit, it shows the first ones and a **+N** label for the rest. - Devices inside a group show the button that adds them to your smart home. - The app moved to a newer version of Expo, the framework it is built on. The new version fixes a memory problem. - When **Restore purchase** finds nothing, the message names the account that ReMatter checked: the Google account signed in to Google Play, or the Apple Account. If you bought ReMatter Pro with another account, switch to it and try again. - The Android app is smaller to download, because the build removes code that the app does not use.
