• Full-screen clock: the countdown fills the whole screen, easy to read from across the room. Tap the arrows on the countdown card. • Six new clock faces: Pie, Terminal and Hourglass, plus Christmas, Spring Festival and New Year with animated scenes. (Premium) • The flip clock now turns its leaves like a real split-flap board, one number at a time. • Choose DuePal's language in Settings › Language, apart from your iPhone's. • New to DuePal? A short tour on the home screen shows where the clock faces, full screen and the add button are. • The Lock Screen countdown has a slimmer progress bar. • Fixed a crash when the Premium page stayed open for a few hours.

• Every due can have its own sound. Something soft to wake up to, something bolder for meetings: pick it right in the due. • Five new gentle sounds: Marimba, Music Box, Harp, Wind Chimes and Daybreak. They start quietly, so they wake you without making you jump. (Premium) • Or use a sound of your own. A favorite song clip or a voice memo can ring for you too. (Premium) • A due with a start time now shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island from its start time, not all weekend before. Want it sooner? Turn on Show Before Start. • Fixed white streaks that sometimes showed on the Premium page on iOS 26. Thank you to the user who wrote in. These changes came straight from your suggestions.

• Every due can have its own color. Red for work, purple for family, green for sport: tell them apart at a glance. The color follows the due to the home screen, the list, widgets, the Lock Screen, Apple Watch and the Mac. Beyond the 12 presets, pick any color you like. (Some colors and custom colors need Premium) • Swipe the countdown card to see what's due next. Dots beside the title show where you are. To change the clock face, tap the palette button at the top right. • The ring clock now counts down like a countdown should: the ring shrinks as time runs out, and its ticks mark progress instead of looking like minutes. • The Lock Screen countdown is easier to read, whatever your wallpaper. Thank you to the user who wrote in. These changes came straight from your suggestions.

• A fresh glass look. On iOS 26, the home cards and the screens for creating and editing dues and countdowns now use clear Liquid Glass, tinted by your theme color. • Pick any theme color. Beyond the 12 presets, choose any color you like, and it follows you to widgets, the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and Apple Watch. (Premium) • Settings, tidied up. Alerts & Sounds, Calendar & Holidays and Countdowns each have their own page, so what you want to change is easy to find. • Premium now comes as a monthly plan too, if you'd like to try it for a month first. • New in Settings: Request a Feature. Tell us what you'd like in a review. We read every one.

• DuePal is now on iPad. On the big screen your clock and your dues sit side by side, and the clock grows with the screen, upright or sideways. • Ten clock faces. Four are new: Nixie tubes, LED digits, 8-bit pixels and a big stacked clock. The others are redrawn too, and the flip clock now has real flip cards. • Changing faces is easier. Tap the arrows under the clock, or tap its name to see every face running live and pick one. • Your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island now dress in the face you picked, the whole card, not just the numbers. When a due is days away, the Dynamic Island shows hours, minutes and seconds if they fit, and hours and minutes if they don't. • Made for iPhone Duo. Unfolded, your dues sit beside today's timeline; stood half open on a desk, DuePal becomes a big desk clock. • New in Settings: choose the day your week starts on, and keep the screen on while DuePal is open, always or only while charging. Settings now take effect the moment you change them. • Countdowns past 100 hours shrink to fit instead of wrapping onto a second line.

• Dues can now wait for a specific day. Leave the repeat days empty, turn on "On a Date" under the time, and pick the day it should ring. Plan a few days ahead and DuePal reminds you right on time. • Buttons like Delete Due now respond across the whole row, not just the text. • Fixed a crash that could happen at launch after updating from an earlier version. Thank you to the user who wrote in. This feature came straight from your suggestion.

DuePal is now free to download! • The free version gives you one due and two custom countdowns, with the Live Activity and Dynamic Island included. • New DuePal Premium: unlimited dues and countdowns, Ring as Alarm, automatic public-holiday skipping, Apple Watch, and every clock style and color. Subscribe weekly or yearly (the yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial), or buy it once. • Already bought DuePal? Every Premium feature is unlocked for you automatically, for good. You don't need to pay again. Thank you for your support!

A big update: • Dues now hand over on their own: set the times of your day once and lunch, clocking off and bedtime count down one after another. • New Countdowns tab: the weekend, payday, the next public holiday, birthdays and trips. • Public holidays for 20 countries and regions — weekday dues skip them automatically. • A new Apple Watch app with complications, plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center control and Siri. • On iOS 26 and later, dues can ring like a system alarm, even in Silent mode. • Six clock styles, twelve color themes, routine templates and quick timers. • Fixed a countdown that could stall past midnight or over a weekend.
