A SMOOTHER FIRST RITUAL Your first guided ritual is now a free playground. Pick any pause length and any number of reps while you are in it. Nothing is locked and nothing interrupts you. Your usual settings return when you finish. FIXES - Pause playback on purpose and it stays paused, even after a phone call. - Requests to rate the app now arrive only after a completed session, never mid-practice. Futurecast helps you become what you repeatedly picture yourself being. See it, hear it, live it daily.

HELP, RIGHT WHERE YOU GET STUCK Look for the question mark in the corner of a screen. Tap it and a short guide to that exact feature opens inside the app. You will find it on playback, sound and timers, repeat and reps, reflection pauses, voice, reminders, sharing a board, People & Pets, and your progress. Don't want it on a screen? Hide it from the same menu. Restore them all later from Profile. A HELP CENTER IN THE APP Profile now has a Help Center that covers the whole app: building boards, writing futures, recording your voice, creating images, membership, backup, and privacy. It opens without sending you to a browser, so you never lose your place. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT People & Pets lets you add the people and pets you love and feature them in the images you create. Find it in Profile. Futurecast helps you become what you repeatedly picture yourself being. See it, hear it, live it daily.

YOUR COLORS, EVERYWHERE Text futures now carry their artwork colors onto your Home and Lock Screen widgets and shared boards. Same future, same colors, on every surface. The art print library also grows by 150 new prints, for 500 in all. CALLS, HANDLED When a phone call comes in, playback pauses right away and picks back up the moment you hang up. FASTER BOARDS Generating new futures on a board is now even faster. FIXES - Free reflection pauses up to 5 seconds now work without an upgrade prompt. - Visions now finish reliably even if you leave the app mid-generation. - Fixed a rare crash shortly after launch. - Futurecast+ subscribers are no longer asked to re-pick their Active Boards. Futurecast helps you become what you repeatedly picture yourself being. See it, hear it, live it daily.

MEET PEOPLE & PETS Your future has people in it. Now your futures can too. Add the people and pets you love, then feature them in the images you create - up to two per image. - Add a person or pet in Profile > People & Pets with a few photos - Feature them when you create a new future, or keep a scene to yourself - Boards suggest the right person when your intention mentions them - Delete someone and their photos are removed everywhere, including our servers A NEW LOOK FOR TEXT FUTURES Futures without a photo now wear their own artwork: a finely dithered art print in a color family that stays consistent on every screen and every device. During playback, the artwork gently breathes. SMARTER BOARDS Board-generated futures now vary their scenes instead of repeating one moment, so every image reinforces your goal from a fresh angle. SOUND, POLISHED Background sounds no longer restart moments after they begin, and voice playback now survives an ignored phone call. Futurecast helps you become what you repeatedly picture yourself being. See it, hear it, live it daily.

This update makes Futurecast faster and steadier. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Playback now survives interruptions - calls, other apps taking over audio, even the app being closed in the background. Reopen Futurecast, or press play from your Lock Screen, and your ritual continues right where it stopped. Take off your AirPods and playback pauses; put them back on and it resumes on its own. INSTANT BACKGROUND SOUNDS Background sounds now start the moment you tap them, even ones you have never played before. SMOOTHER EVERY DAY Fixed the brief freezes when returning to the app or opening a board. Everything feels quicker. MORE RELIABLE VISIONS Visions now keep generating even if you switch apps or lose connection partway. Generation recovers automatically from more hiccups, your likeness blends more naturally into each scene, and regenerating a vision keeps your board's setting and companions. YOUR VOICE, DELIVERED Voice audio now finishes even when your connection hiccups. Your audio is held safely until your phone picks it up, and if something didn't finish you'll see it right away, with a one-tap retry. FRAME YOUR PHOTOS When you add your own photo, you now crop it with a live preview of exactly how it will look. Saved images match the feed, edge to edge. STEADIER SYNC iCloud sync reports its status more honestly and recovers on its own more often. And if you ever need help, the support email now includes the details we need to fix it fast. Plus a refined typeface across widgets and boards, a fix for an issue where a cancelled purchase could briefly look like it went through, and stability improvements throughout.

MY IMAGES Every vision you generate is now saved. Browse your full history by month, bring back a previous look for any future, or reuse a saved image anywhere. CREATE FROM AN IMAGE Start with a photo and build your future around it. Pick the image first, then add your words. WRITING STYLES Choose how a board's futures are written: "I am" affirmations, mantras, haiku, prayers, scripture, notes from future you, and more. Or describe your own style in your own words. GENTLER SLEEP TIMER Audio now fades out softly over ten seconds instead of stopping cold. Plus faster image delivery, steadier audio through interruptions and headphone switches, and stability fixes throughout.
