Fixed: the daily generation counter could show yesterday's usage on a new day, blocking generation until the app was used another way. Counts now reset properly on open.

The biggest Top Block update yet — built for eval season. NEW: CLOSEOUT PACKET BUILDER Pick a Soldier and Top Block assembles the whole review: their saved bullets fill the DA Form 2166-9 worksheet, AI writes the Support Form (duty description + performance objectives), and one tap exports the complete packet PDF. Find it first in the Library tab. NEW: HOME SCREEN WIDGETS A countdown to your next NCOER due date and your writing streak — right on your Home Screen and lock screen. NEW: DICTATION Tap the mic next to Rough Notes and just talk. Recognition runs on-device whenever your hardware supports it. NEW: SIRI, SHORTCUTS & ACTION BUTTON "Top Block write a bullet" — rough notes in, polished bullet out, without even opening the app. NEW: RUNS ON YOUR MAC Top Block is now a native Mac app, with keyboard shortcuts (⌘N new generation, ⇧⌘P build packet, ⌘L bullet bank). NEW: EVALUATION REMINDERS Set each Soldier's NCOER due date and get a heads-up at 45, 30, 14, and 7 days out, so closeouts never sneak up on you. AND A WHOLE LOT OF POLISH: Renaming a Soldier no longer detaches their bullet history Bullet drafts are restored if you swipe away mid-composition Purchase problems now explain themselves instead of failing silently Buttons and banners are readable in every theme Sharing from iPad no longer crashes A rare bug that cut short bullets containing brackets (like "[CQ]") is fixed Word/Pages exports no longer garble quotation marks and dashes Rate bullets with a quick thumbs up/down to help tune AI quality "Generate All Attributes" is faster and respects your daily limit fairly PRIVACY, AS ALWAYS: Your rough notes are never used to train AI. A new anonymous-usage toggle (Settings → Privacy) sends basic usage events to my own server — no third-party trackers, ever. Turn it off anytime. If Top Block saves you time during closeout season, a rating or a quick review genuinely helps a solo dev Soldier out. Top Block is not an official DoD or U.S. Army product.
