Version 1.5.1

August 31, 2026
Added
  • Quick filter chips on the People tab — Main, Favourites, Extended, All — so you can jump straight to the group you want; Extended people are now just a tap away instead of only reachable by search
  • A one-time subscription offer now appears right after onboarding if you added at least one person, styled to match onboarding's warm, personal feel
Fixed
  • Achievement progress bars and percentages toward your next milestone now always show the correct value

Version 1.5

August 24, 2026
Added
  • Onboarding is now interactive — add your first buddy and log a moment together right away, with an option to import from Contacts
  • Onboarding now offers one-tap "Today", "Yesterday", or "This past weekend" options for when you last saw someone, plus a date picker for anything further back
  • The recap screen after each round shows a live preview of your dashboard — people added, moments logged, and a meeting-frequency heatmap — with an option to add another friend
  • A new step lets you tag what you did together (Coffee, Lunch, Drinks, Hang Out, and more) right from onboarding
  • Onboarding now supports Dark Mode
Changed
  • Onboarding has a fresh look throughout — bigger headlines, a step progress bar, and a warm cream background
Fixed
  • Moments logged during onboarding no longer show a confusing "0:00–0:00" time on the Calendar tab — they're now saved as all-day events
  • Fixed the launch screen wordmark being nearly invisible in Dark Mode
Show older releases (11)

Version 1.4

August 24, 2026
Added
  • Tapping a person's profile photo now opens it fullscreen, matching Event Details
  • Events can now have up to 5 photos (1 cover photo + up to 4 more), shown as a scrollable gallery with a swipeable fullscreen viewer
  • Anniversaries (premium) can now also have up to 5 photos, with the same gallery and fullscreen viewer

Version 1.3.1

August 16, 2026
Fixed
  • "Long Time No See" now measures from a multi-day event's end date instead of its start date, so a several-day trip together no longer flags someone as long-time-no-see partway through

Version 1.3.0

August 16, 2026
Added
  • Every person's profile now has real Events, Notes, Quotes, and Anniversaries tabs — browse, search, filter, and edit them directly
  • A real Calendar tab with a month view, event dots, and a day list for birthdays, anniversaries, and events
  • A real Insights tab with detailed stat cards (most/least seen, social reach, meeting frequency, and more) plus an Achievements screen for milestone badges
  • A real Settings screen for managing People, Notifications, Calendar, Appearance, Data & Backup, and Support in one place
  • Address search (for Place of Birth and First Encounter) now uses real map-backed search with suggestions and a map preview
  • PDF and JSON data export from Settings
  • A real subscription paywall with trial pricing and a full feature comparison
  • Language setting in Settings → Appearance — choose English, Español, or Français independently of your device's system language
  • First-launch onboarding carousel introducing People, Moments, and Insights
Changed
  • Every "select people" picker (relationships, event guests, and more) now groups people the same way the main Buddies list does — Favourites first, then alphabetically, with Extended people tucked into their own section
Fixed
  • The Long Time No See widget now shows just a first (or last) name, matching the compact naming used elsewhere in the app
  • An anniversary's "Upcoming: Nth anniversary" now always shows the correct occurrence number
  • The Calendar tab's selected-date highlight now correctly matches the app's brand color
  • Improved VoiceOver labels on several icon-only buttons across the app

Version 1.2.5

July 8, 2026
Changed
  • The "New People Met" insight now explains why the count can be zero — a note clarifies that only people with a First Encounter date are counted, with a prompt to add one from a person's profile
Fixed
  • Fixed a rare issue where default categories (like Dinner, Lunch, or Birthday) could appear duplicated multiple times — any existing duplicates are now automatically merged

Version 1.2.3

July 4, 2026
Changed
  • Onboarding preview widgets (Your People, Moments, Insights) now animate in with a spring pop and slide instead of appearing instantly, with a loading skeleton while each widget loads

  • Person detail menu: "Move to extended" option now available directly from the profile without going into edit mode
Fixed
