Sebastian gets a cleaner Today, smarter reminders, a new calendar, and a big widget update. • Today: calmer, easier-to-scan lists, plus banners for when to leave, weather that affects your plans, how tomorrow looks, and what's changed. • Calendar: a new Day view with an hour grid (drag, resize, touch and hold to create), type events in plain English, a new event page with Join, directions and weather, Time to Leave alerts, more repeat options, forecasts in Week and Month, and multi-day bars. • Reminders: subtasks, flags, deadlines, sections and manual ordering, type reminders in plain English, Upcoming and Completed views, persistent alerts, and a pinned list on Today. • Threads: "Catch me up" writes a quick summary of a person before you meet, right on your iPhone. • Widgets: Day view in the Calendar widget, tick off checklists and reminders, Join and Go buttons, rain warnings, tinted Home Screen and StandBy support, and new Lock Screen widgets for timers, reminders, time to leave and rain. • Live Activities: +1 min and Restart for timers, Snooze for reminders, Skip for alarms, leave-time countdowns for events, and support for Apple Watch and CarPlay. • Control Center: new controls to start a timer, switch an alarm on or off, dictate a note, open Up Next, or run an action. • A simpler new app icon, a redesigned Actions editor, and more reliable syncing of notes. • Lots of fixes and speed improvements throughout.

Bug Fixes, UI, and Navigation Enhancements.

Medication Refill reminder Completion Bug Fix

Threads, rebuilt around the people they are about • Contact photos, drag to reorder, and category chips for events, reminders, medications, notes, comments, alarms and timers. • Filter a thread down to one kind of entry, then share exactly that as text or as a formatted PDF. • New tips and guidance for linking calendars, reminder lists, alarms, timers and notes to a person, so Threads has something to build from. Medications • Medication refills now have their own category, their own filter chip and the medication icon in Threads. • Finished a course? Archive it. The record and its history stay, due dates and repeats stop, and you choose which list it moves to. Fasting • A fast now keeps running past its target and shows "Over Target", so you can see how long you actually fasted rather than just that you passed the line. Contacts and groups • Create, rename, reorder and manage contact groups, with undo on anything destructive. • Contacts that appeared twice in Threads are now merged automatically. Your day, in your order • Rearrange the Today tab from the Today tab. • Redesigned launcher widgets with clearer cards, and buttons that act without opening the app. Sync • Links, contact groups, alarms, linked calendars and lists, and your refill and fasting history now follow you across your devices. Export • Save a complete copy of everything Sebastian keeps, whenever you want it. Free and Plus • Every calendar and reminder list is now visible on the Free plan. Nothing is hidden any more. Free lets you add to and edit any three of each, and you can tick off or delete a reminder wherever it lives. • Severe weather alerts are now free for everyone. • The Plus trial is now 30 days, and you get a clear notice before it ends that says exactly what changes. Fixes • Fixed a crash that could happen after deleting a reminder. • Repeating events no longer show up duplicated in lists. • Smaller fixes to linking, calendar filters and reminder editing.

What's New Sync improvements and a fix More of Sebastian now follows you between devices. Your alarms, medication refill history, fasting history, contact groups, and the calendar overlaps you've marked as fine all sync now — so the record you built on your iPhone is there on your iPad. We also fixed a bug where the same person could show up twice in Threads, with half their history under each. They're back to one entry, with everything in one place. Launcher widget updates The Two and Four Card launchers have a cleaner, flatter look that's easier to read at a glance. Better still, they now do things. Pause a running timer, start your eating window, tick off your next reminder, or switch off tomorrow's alarm — straight from the Home Screen, without opening the app. The Two Card launcher makes proper use of its space, showing what's coming next rather than just a bigger version of the four-card view. And it's now available on the Lock Screen. Threads improvements Contact photos appear beside the people in your threads, and you can drag to put the ones you check most at the top. You can also add a thread straight to an appointment, so a medication history is already on the calendar entry when you arrive. More help getting started Threads is genuinely useful once things are linked to a person — but it wasn't obvious how to set that up. There's now a step-by-step guide in Settings → About → How Linking Works, and gentle tips along the way that point out the quickest route: linking a whole calendar or reminder list at once, rather than one item at a time.

Everything you connect — notes, reminders, events, calendars, lists — now syncs across your devices. Threads got useful * Open a thread straight from any reminder, note, or event * Add a note or reminder that's already linked to the person you're reading about * Filter a busy thread by type * Share a thread as text or a PDF — handy for a doctor's appointment * The list now only shows people and things you've actually linked * Alarms and timers can belong to someone * Link "Mum's 8am tablets" to Mum, and it shows up in her thread. Day Rehearsal fixes things now * Every problem it finds comes with a button: reschedule, move to tomorrow, or start Drive Mode * It notices when you have far more due than you usually get through, and offers to move the least urgent * Rain plus a drive now means one warning that tells you to leave earlier — not two that don't talk to each other Smaller things * Running timers no longer take up Today's Focus — they're already right above it * Your pinned people now appear in Threads straight away instead of after a detour
