Football is here, and it brought a friend. NFL IS LIVE. Heat Check now tracks football play by play. Yards, targets, catches, carries, touchdowns, all of it feeding the Heat Index in real time. Set an alert on your quarterback, your WR2, or the running back your fantasy season quietly depends on, and we'll tell you the moment he starts cooking. Thursday, Sunday, Monday. We don't sleep in September either. KALSHI MARKET DATA. The one we're most excited about. When a market is available, Heat Check now shows the win probability for the game and the hit probability for a player prop, pulled straight from Kalshi market consensus and placed right next to the live stats. Momentum on one side, the market on the other, on one screen. You still make the call. We just made the call a lot easier to make. THE HEATER BOARD SPEAKS FOOTBALL. Sunday means a dozen games at once, so the board had to grow up. Filter by league, by game, or by the full chaos of all of it. Sort by Heat Index and watch the top of the board turn over in real time as the 1pm window goes sideways. LIVE ACTIVITIES, ALL SEASON. Follow any player from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with stats that update as the drive happens. Last season a lot of you told us you never opened the app again. Our analytics team is still choosing to see that as a compliment. ALERTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY YOURS. Thresholds you set, per player, per league. Turn the volume up for the guys you're tracking and all the way down for everyone else. Haptics included, because some streaks deserve to be felt and not just read. SHARE THE HEAT. Player performance cards got a football pass. When your guy goes nuclear in the third quarter, the group chat deserves evidence, not a screenshot of a box score you cropped badly. NBA AND MLB DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE. Hot bats and pitchers dealing straight through October. Shooting streaks and heat-check threes the second the NBA tips off. One Heat Index, three leagues, one language. A BETTER FIRST LOOK. New screenshots, a cleaner path to the Heater Board, and fewer taps between opening the app and finding the hottest player on the planet right now. FASTER, QUIETER, LIGHTER. We spent the offseason on the unglamorous stuff. Quicker cold starts, lighter live updates, better battery behavior during a full slate, and a Heater Board that doesn't stutter when eight games score inside the same ninety seconds. WHAT'S NEXT. More leagues, deeper player history, and a Heat Index that gets sharper every week of the season. The model is learning football in public and it is having a great time. As always: bug fixes, performance improvements, and one unresolved internal debate about whether a 60-yard catch and run counts as a heat check. It does. We're not discussing it further. Thanks for being here early. Set your alerts before kickoff.

This is a big one. Like, "we argued about the changelog order" big. MLB IS HERE. Heat Check now tracks baseball. Hitting streaks, hot bats, pitchers dealing. The Heat Index speaks baseball now. (NBA isn't going anywhere, obviously.) LIVE ACTIVITIES. Follow a player from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with stats that update in real time. You may never actually open the app again, which our analytics team is choosing to see as a compliment. LIQUID GLASS. We rebuilt the entire app in Apple's new Liquid Glass design. It's translucent, it's fluid, and one of us called it "unreasonably pretty" in a meeting. No one disagreed. NFL: AUGUST. Football is coming. We've seen it running internally and we are not okay. Get your alerts set before kickoff. As always: bug fixes, performance improvements, and one heated internal debate we're not ready to talk about yet.

Heat Check – Version 1.3 The marketing team would like you to know this is the most exciting update in Heat Check history. The dev team would like you to know it's three features. Both parties have been asked to move on. Share Player Performance Cards You can now share player performance cards directly from the app. Marketing has been calling this "a cultural moment." Dev has been calling it "a share sheet." A compromise could not be reached, so we're publishing both takes and letting you decide. Updated Analytics The team has made meaningful improvements to how the app tracks performance data under the hood. Marketing wrote four sentences about this. Dev rewrote all four. Marketing rewrote them back. What you're reading now is the third draft and nobody is proud of it. Haptic Feedback Your phone now buzzes when a heat check hits. This was dev's idea. Marketing immediately requested it be "more dramatic." Dev said haptics don't do drama. Marketing disagreed. The current buzz is a direct result of that disagreement and honestly it feels pretty good. Heat Check 1.3. Shipping Apps and unresolved tension since day one.

Mostly cleaning up our own mistakes: - Notification badge should now clear even if not signed in - Some visual tidying for those on smaller screens - Alerts should now bring you to current player details when tapping on them - Marketing team still contributing nothing to this app (out of my hands) Love, Engineering

Heat Check– Version 1.2.1 A Message From the Dev Team - We fixed things. Important things. Things that required real skill and focus and approximately four hours of staring at logs that marketing will never read. You’re welcome. A Message From Marketing - The app is gorgeous. It has always been gorgeous. We just made it more gorgeous. The developers helped. What Actually Changed Player Badge Alignment on Expanded Cards – They were off by a few pixels. Marketing filed a ticket titled “THIS IS BROKEN AND LOOKS BAD.” Dev responded with a five-sentence explanation of why it wasn’t technically broken. It was fixed the next morning. No one apologized. Alert System Now Matches the Expanded View – Alerts were doing their own thing visually. Marketing described this as “a complete disaster.” Dev described it as “a known inconsistency we were monitoring.” Both of these statements appeared in the same Slack thread. It got tense. Backend Efficiency Overhaul – Faster. Leaner. More resilient. Marketing asked if they could say “lightning fast” in the release notes. Dev said no. Marketing asked if they could say “blazing fast.” Dev said also no. We have agreed on “faster.” Everyone is exhausted. Heat Check is built by a team that communicates primarily through passive-aggressive pull request comments and the occasional emoji reaction. The hot hand doesn’t care. Neither should you. Go find your props.
