What v1 looked like

Phone and tablet screenshots of the released v1 app (2024), kept as the visual baseline v3 replaces.

Tablet variants (tab_*.png) are in the same folder. Noteworthy v1 traits: the per-circle field checklist (kept in v3 as “What this circle sees”), the notification toggle per circle (kept), favourites at the top of Contacts (kept), a family tree view toggle (dropped), and a Settings screen with only theme, log off and delete account (expanded).
