What’s New in Orion 1.9.1 Smoother everyday routines, clearer thoughts, and a more immersive adventure on Xi. - A refreshed survival adventure: Updated cards, inventory, controls, and detail panels, with more item and camp illustrations. Improved readability and fixed a gray-screen issue when starting a new expedition. - Smoother Starchains: Improved step editing, ordering, deferral, and repeat cycles while preserving completed progress. Active chains restore more reliably after relaunch, and completion messages no longer linger. - Tasks and thoughts, easier to find: Redesigned both collections with clearer organization, improved search and filtering, and full-length thought reading. A thought can stay a thought, without becoming another task. - A refreshed Focus Engine: Updated timer, pause, and closing screens, with improved duration controls, ambient sounds, and remembered preferences. Ending early is okay, and won’t mark your task as complete. - Clearer financial reports: Improved income and expense charts, cumulative net figures, spending breakdowns, responsive layouts, and report image exports. - Better Watch connectivity: Improved offline use, startup refresh, and reconnection syncing, with a manual sync option. Also includes refinements for larger text and low-stimulus mode.

A little more Orion, a little less friction. APPLE WATCH Keep a breathing companion close, capture a thought or task, and find it again in On Watch. Browse thoughts and tasks separately, read longer entries, and take a short focus session with room to pause or stop. Choose from nine companion skins, including Mei, Zack and the crew. FINANCIAL CORE A clearer ledger, easier search and filtering, improved monthly details, and more convenient recurring-bill and budget editing. Choose spending, income or net as your main number. Export and import local JSON financial backups. YOUR SHIP, YOUR SPACE New in-app captain avatars, a refreshed Captain's Quarters and badge collection, and a clearer Functional Cabins menu. The Aid Kit is easier to navigate when you need a moment. XI SURVIVAL Refined inventory cards, crafting and action panels, clearer environmental information, and fixes to world-event and mental-state interactions. We also improved local-data safeguards and photo handling when updating the app. A thought doesn't have to become a task. Sometimes, keeping it is enough.

Orion v1.4.0 — What's New Smarter, calmer, more rewarding. This update focuses on making every screen in Orion more ADHD-friendly — less noise, more clarity, and a lot more celebration when you're doing great. Reduced cognitive overload. Key sections like the finance jar dashboard and report metrics now start collapsed, showing only what matters most. Tap to expand when you're ready for details. Mission cards have been streamlined to remove redundant information, so you can scan your task list without feeling overwhelmed. Clear guidance on what to do next. A new Focus Card on the Starchain screen highlights your current mission and next step at a glance. Pending task nodes are now labeled with a "Next" badge, so you always know where to pick up. The Mental Garden and Protocol Center also feature warm onboarding guidance whenyou're just getting started. More celebration, more motivation. Completing a Starchain node, finishing a full mission chain, planting in your garden, or hitting a 30%+ savings rate — Orion now rewards each milestone with satisfying animations and encouraging messages. Small wins deserve recognition. Less friction, faster input. Quick-amount chips let you log expenses with a single tap. Invalid entries now get instant visual feedback instead of silent failure. Jar selectors include helpful descriptions so you always know where your money is going. Non-intrusive insights. Financial insights have been moved from disruptive pop-up dialogs to gentle floating banners that auto-dismiss, so your workflow stays uninterrupted.

We fixed several task-flow consistency issues. Completed tasks in the task list now stay fully in sync with the home orb, so once a task is marked complete it no longer keeps showing up on the home screen. We also unified task completion behavior across the home orb and focus engine, so they now follow the same “mark as completed” flow instead of mixing completion and deletion. On top of that, we fixed two UI regressions: the task complete celebration screen no longer gets stuck when returning from the task list, and the purple completion prompt in the task list now dismisses automatically instead of staying on screen until manual undo. We also optimized and refreshed several major screens. The focus engine was reworked for better performance with lighter rebuilds, a custom reactor-style progress core, and a less expensive countdown overlay. The Aid Kit received a visual and structural upgrade with a cleaner hierarchy and lighter background rendering. The Mission Board and Starchain editor were improved with faster loading, reduced repaint cost, clearer overview panels, and a more polished route-control visual style.

What a nice day! We now have a brand new vision of 'brain dump' screen and 'functional cabin' screen, Orion and you are getting better!
