Bug fixes • If this update were a book, we’d avoid spoilers. Just know we’ve turned the page on something big, with a lot of long-awaited bug fixes and improvements along the way.

Something broke and we fixed it. All good now. Shoutout to Tuğçe for catching it first!

After 9 months of nothing, two updates in two weeks. Don’t get used to it (or maybe do). Just some bug fixes and tweaks this time. The real surprises are still ahead.

Wow. 9 months. Turns out raising newborns and building apps don’t mix so well (especially when both founders became parents… to the same babies). But the lull is over. We’re back and cooking up something new. We have big things coming but for now, enjoy some long-overdue bug fixes and minor improvements. Curious about what's next? Say hi on on Instagram. We might spill the beans.

NEW: Mantra Widget We’re so excited to introduce our new widgets! Now, stay inspired with daily mantras right on your home screen. We hope you enjoy these updates as much as we loved creating them! Your feedback makes Desté better—reach out anytime at hey@thisisdeste.com. Don’t forget to tag us when you're sharing the new widget @thisisdeste

You asked for more, and we heard you loud and clear.  Introducing: Guided Meditations & New Intentions ⁜ Guided Meditations (Premium Feature) Ece's guided meditations are here! We’re thrilled to bring exclusive guided meditations created by Ece, just for Desté. Pick the one that calls your name to let Ece guide you to a moment of peace and reflection. ⁜ New Intentions We’ve expanded our intention selection with 12 powerful new options like Career, Money and Relationship. Let these new intentions inspire you when pulling your cards and set the tone for your journey. ⁜ Improvements & Fixes - Enhanced the some card animations for a smoother experience. - Fixed incorrect page numbers in the card section. - Addressed audio bugs (Thanks, Zeynep, Merve and Buket!). - Refined visuals and added some cute animations. - Updated the soundtrack to a no-vocals version for deeper focus (Thanks, Melisa Tuğçe!). We hope you enjoy these updates as much as we loved creating them! Your suggestions are always welcome at hey@thisisdeste.com—keep them coming, because you make Desté better every day.

This release focuses on the most requested features from our beloved community members. ⁜ Re-read Unlocked Cards (Premium Feature) Aslı, Serra, and Meltem wanted a way to revisit the wisdom of unlocked cards at their leisure, so we’ve introduced a magical ‘Read Again’ button to fulfil this wish. Tap any unlocked card under the Cards tab and follow the sparkles - they're hard to miss. ⁜ Card and Journal Deletion Thanks to Rafaela & Cansu’s fantastic suggestion, you now have the ability to clear out old journal entries and cards. Just long press any item within the Journal tab and a delete button will appear below. Please use it sparingly—once deleted, there's no undo button. Although we're happy to work on adding that too if Desties request it. ⁜ Improved Journal Lock Responding to Katie & Miriam's feedback, we’ve extended the Journal Lock feature to secure the Cards tab as well. Access this enhanced security by tapping your profile picture, navigating to Settings, and activating the “Journal Lock.” ⁜ Bug in Meditation Timer Thanks to Buket and Melisa Tuğçe's reports, we’ve resolved an issue where the Meditation Timer allowed device auto-lock, disrupting your peace. This fix ensures your sessions remain uninterrupted. We’re committed to continually refining the app based on what matters most to our community. If you have suggestions or encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out at hey@thisisdeste.com. Your feedback drives our innovation!
