What's New in 1.6.1 A polish update: Undo where you need it, a smarter new-event form, and Life Patterns that measures your time as well as your events. Undo and clearer feedback Changing an event's category or unwatching an event now offers Undo, and Undo puts back exactly what was there before. Event details tell you when a change didn't save, and deleting a category asks first and tells you how many events it affects. Getting around - A Today pill takes you back to today when you've scrolled far down the list - Search also matches calendar names - The month view tells you when a search is filtering it, with a button to clear it - Once today's events are done, the Today card shows tomorrow's first event - iPhone: tap the briefing button to reopen the page you last viewed, or press and hold to choose Daily, Weekly or Life Patterns - iPad: Settings is in the toolbar, where it is on iPhone New events New events start on the next hour or half hour, and moving the start keeps the length. The calendar follows the category to the calendar you last used for it. After saving, tap View to open the new event. Life Patterns Switch between Events and Hours to see where your time goes. When there's enough history, Life Patterns compares the period with the one before it. A new Busy and Quiet card shows your busiest streak and quietest week, and you can tap them to see the events.

What's New in 1.6.0 Horizon's biggest update yet. It has a look of its own, it reaches you beyond the app, and it fixes a long list of things you told us about. A new look Horizon now opens on the sky. The dashboard leads with a Today card: the date, the weather, and what's happening now or next. Rows are calmer, headers stay put as you scroll, and events grow out of the list when tapped. Eight category colors moved apart so they're easier to tell apart. On iOS 26, controls use Liquid Glass. Siri and Shortcuts Ask "What's on my Horizon today", "When am I free this week in Horizon" or "Add an event to Horizon". Watch an event or change its category by voice. Eight actions are ready in Shortcuts. On your Lock Screen and Home Screen - Live Activity: a watched event counts down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. - Controls for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button. - Widgets: a small Briefing widget, an extra-large Event widget for iPad, and a Watchlist widget with a progress bar while an event runs. Widgets stay current without opening the app. - Spotlight finds your categories and watched-event countdowns. - Focus filters: choose which categories show during a Focus. Editing and creating Editing an event opens Apple's editor, so you can change its calendar, invitees, alerts and repeat. Horizon's new-event form gains alerts, a URL and Save and Invite People. Deleting shows Undo. More - Set the hours Find Free Time and briefings look at (Settings › Free Time) - A Conflicts list in the briefings showing every overlapping pair - The daily briefing now tells you the shape of your day, and its free slots start a new event with one tap - Life Patterns lets you change the period on the spot and opens any event you tap - A redesigned Quick Categorize with the event as a card and your best matches as buttons - A redesigned month view: each day shows a color bar of what's on it, and the grid folds to the current week as you scroll - Multi-day events appear on every day they cover, in the list, the briefings and widgets too - Change any event's category from its details, with suggestions right in the press-and-hold menu - Keywords show which events they'll match, and warn when another category already has them - A refreshed Watchlist: a spotlight card for what's happening now or next, a still "Now" pill, a progress bar instead of blinking dots, and a tap to open the event - Watch a recurring event every time it comes round, and the Watchlist suggests trips, birthdays and holidays to count down to - Milestones a month, a week and three days out, the day before and the morning of - Skip Horizon's reminder for events that already have a Calendar alert, and set reminders for a single event - Briefing notifications describe the day they arrive on, with your first event and the forecast; the weekly one previews the week ahead - Swipe between the Daily, Weekly and Patterns briefings - iPad: events open in a side column instead of a sheet - Apple Watch: a refreshed look that matches the iPhone app, with the Watchlist on your wrist - Better VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support Fixes - Importing your calendar is much faster and no longer freezes the screen - Duplicate categories after a reinstall are merged right away - Events a few weeks out were filed under "On the Horizon" instead of "Coming Up" - Editing a recurring event from the list could change the wrong occurrence - Editing an event no longer clears its URL - "Today" and the Briefing widget now roll over at midnight - Reminder notifications word their countdown correctly - Watched all-day events no longer read "Happening now" for an extra day - Re-watching an event you watched long ago works again - Weather appears on first launch; all-day events no longer count as "to go" - Moving one occurrence of a recurring event to another day no longer makes it vanish - Watchlist widgets and the Live Activity open the event you tap

What's New in 1.5.6 Life Patterns improvements Tap any stat card in Life Patterns to drill into a detailed breakdown — see your weekly event history charted over time or explore a full per-category count. A new Events list lets you browse every event on a selected day directly from the heatmap. The Insights section now surfaces richer analysis of your patterns. A new Life Patterns settings page (Settings → Life Patterns) lets you control exactly how much history is analyzed and whether upcoming events are included. Sync window control A new Sync Window settings page (Settings → Calendars → Sync Window) lets you choose how far back and how far forward Horizon stores events locally — helpful if you want more history or are managing storage on your device. Open event locations in Maps Events with a physical address now include an "Open in Maps" option in the long-press context menu. Performance & reliability Widget updates are now batched so bulk changes (like a full sync) trigger a single refresh instead of stacking them — this noticeably reduces background work after large syncs. Startup and app-foreground transitions are faster: calendar seeding, CloudKit import checks, and tracker maintenance now run off the main thread so the dashboard loads without waiting on them. Bug fixes - Fixed a bug where the animated dot on Journey Progress would cut straight across the trail instead of following the curve during progress updates - Fixed multi-account calendar display in the event editor — accounts now group correctly when you have more than one calendar provider connected - Several fixes to the data migration pipeline for reliability on first launch

What's New — v1.5.5 Widgets, redesigned • Countdown widgets feature a new winding-path visual that shows your journey toward what's next, now in a Large size that displays up to 5 tracked events at once. • Pick exactly which tracked event to feature in your Countdown widget, or let Horizon automatically feature the closest upcoming one. • Event widgets can now be filtered by category, and your choice sticks even if you rename the category later. • Refreshed typography, spacing, and color across every widget for a cleaner, more consistent look. • The Daily Briefing widget shows colored category icons in its summary so you can read the day at a glance. • Long event titles now scale gracefully at larger text sizes. • Briefing widgets refresh their weather automatically whenever you reopen Horizon. Apple Watch • Complications now carry your category color on every face style. • Fixed rendering of the large rectangular complication. Sync & reliability • Horizon now detects when you switch iCloud accounts and walks you through a clean restart so your data stays separated. • Faster sync between your iPhone and iPad for pinned events and manual category corrections. • Smarter background updates and improved sync stability throughout. Fixes & polish • Numerous stability and design-consistency improvements.

Bug Fixes: - 1.5.3 had a sync issue that could leave iCloud data duplicated across devices. 1.5.4 fixes the underlying race and automatically cleans up any duplicates on next launch. If iCloud still seems stuck after updating, open Settings → iCloud & Sync → Re-download from iCloud for a faster recovery.

What's New in v1.5.3 Smarter Notifications Horizon no longer duplicates your calendar app's reminders. Event notifications are now off by default for new users. You can still enable per-category reminders anytime in Settings > Notifications. Countdown Milestones for Watched Events Track events that matter most and get milestone updates as they approach. Horizon sends countdown notifications at various milestones, and a morning-of reminder. Toggle milestones on or off in Settings or during onboarding. Refreshed Onboarding A streamlined setup experience highlights Watched Events, lets you know you can create custom categories, and puts notification controls front and center.

Horizon v1.5.2 Release Notes Watchlist - Journey progress trail -- Watched event cards now show a winding path that visualizes how far along you are from when you started watching to the event date, with milestone markers at 25%, 50%, and 75%. The traveler dot glows with increasing intensity as the event approaches. - Redesigned empty state -- The Watchlist empty state is cleaner with a decorative animated trail and simplified messaging. Calendar Hints - Direct Mapping mode -- Calendar Hints now supports two modes. Hint (the default) influences categorization while still allowing AI to make the final call. Direct bypasses AI entirely and always assigns the chosen category at full confidence. Both modes are available from a new mode picker in the calendar hint sheet. - Recategorization on change -- When you change a calendar's hint or mapping, Horizon now asks whether to recategorize existing events from that calendar. Only affected events are processed, and manually categorized events are always preserved. General - Consistent terminology -- "Categorize" and "recurring" are now used consistently throughout the app, replacing the previous mix of "classify" and "repeating." - Accessibility improvements -- Animations throughout the app now respect the Reduce Motion accessibility setting. Confidence badges and countdown timers include VoiceOver labels. - Design consistency -- Spacing, navigation titles, and confirmation dialogs have been standardized across all settings pages. Bug Fixes - Fixed frozen countdown badges -- Time-relative badges (e.g., "in 5 hours", "3 days ago") were computed once and never refreshed, so they would display stale values until the view was fully reloaded. They now update every 60 seconds. - Fixed locale mismatch in timeline grid -- The midnight hour label was hardcoded as "12 AM" instead of using the system formatter, causing a format mismatch for users in 24-hour locales.

What's New in v1.5.1 Onboarding: - New reassurance banner on the calendar selection step clarifying that Horizon only reads your calendars and never creates, edits, moves, or deletes events without your direct action. Calendar selection (onboarding and Settings > Calendars): - Calendars within each account are now sorted alphabetically. - Added per-account Select All / Deselect All for quick bulk toggling when you have many calendars in one account. Event detail - Classification section: - The "Looks good" confirmation (previously "Looks right") no longer pops up a series scope dialog for recurring events. One tap now dismisses the review row, teaches Horizon that the current category is correct, and leaves the original source label (AI classifier, Apple Intelligence, etc.) intact instead of overwriting it with "You set this". - Simplified the classification info display so technical identifiers no longer leak into the UI. - Added mlModelRenormalized to the friendly-label mapping so it renders as "AI classifier" instead of falling back to "Auto-classified".

Whats New: - Support for iOS 18. This version works the same as the iOS26 version without the foundational model capabilities the iOS 26 introduces.
