A new look for RotaMate, and new ways to plan, book and share your shifts. • Pick your top 3 before release: mark the shifts you want 1 · 2 · 3, and they wait at the top of the cycle, so you book them first when it opens. • Ten new widget styles for your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Live Activity, plus new widgets for your day, your month, swaps and attendance. Pick a style in More → Widgets. • Share your shift to your story: your live shift card, straight to Instagram, WhatsApp or Snapchat. • Coordinators: describe a cycle in a few words and AI drafts it for you, then checks it before you release it. Also new: • Home shows today first. • Answer a swap request from your Lock Screen: Accept, See or Decline. • Friends: see who's on shift today and this week, ask a friend to swap, or get reminded of their shift. • Choose when you're reminded before every shift, and set each alert to On, Quiet or Off. • Ask AI about a cycle and open it in one tap. • Apple Watch: your next shifts, a ring that fills as your shift goes, and swap requests you can accept from your wrist. • Hold the RotaMate icon for quick actions, and add RotaMate buttons to Control Center. • Coordinators: edit a shift in one tap, and copy roles from another unit you run or from your templates.

AI is now in RotaMate. • Ask AI about your unit: your points, your shifts, who's on. Type or speak, in English or Arabic. A beta helper, 20 questions a day. • AI in the Duties Hub: write your question and it finds the right guide. • Import the office's sheet: pick the Excel sheet, or paste a month from your notes, and your month fills itself. The file stays on your phone. • Coordinators: find a template with AI. Type a unit name and start from a week another unit uses. Also new: • Your month, shared: your friends see it, and one switch shares it with your unit's coordinators. • Friends on your shift: 30 minutes before, see who's on with you. • Friends' birthdays: a cake beside their name, and a wish ready to send. • Links that open the app: share a unit, your card, a group or a template. A tap or a QR scan opens it. • RotaMate has a website: every feature and the download, at rotamate.net. • Four new home-screen widgets: Small or Medium, Light or Dark. • Face ID or fingerprint turns on by itself when you sign in with your password. • RotaMate on Apple Watch: today's shift, swap requests and your friend code. • Coordinators: collect the unit's attendance in one sheet and remind only who you pick. Public holidays are built into a cycle, and release times are ones you tap.

What's New in RotaMate 1.1.1 A polish release that builds on 1.1.0 - faster booking, a more reliable lock-screen countdown, and more insight behind the scenes. For everyone - Booking opens faster. We reworked how cycle-open reminders are sent, so the app stays snappy right at release time when everyone books at once. You now get a single heads-up 10 minutes before a cycle opens. - Your live countdown, more reliable. The lock-screen and Dynamic Island shift widget flips to "on shift" cleanly and disappears on its own the moment your shift ends, even if you never reopen the app. For coordinators - Undo a cycle date change. Accidentally shrank a cycle's dates and lost bookings? You can now restore them from the Cycles Dashboard. Every affected booking comes back, with no duplicates or clashes. - Accurate points everywhere. Fractional points like 4.5 now show and export correctly across shifts, totals, and Excel.

What's New (v1.0.6) ## For All Users ### Booking at Cycle Release (much smoother) - **Slots show "Full" instantly.** The moment a slot fills — before you tap, as you tap, or even while you're waiting — it flips to "Full" right away instead of leaving you spinning. ### Performance & Stability - **Smoother on budget phones.** Heavy visual effects now gracefully scale back on lower-RAM devices, fixing crashes on some Infinix/Tecno models. ### New: Calendar Sync - **Your shifts, in your phone's calendar.** Flip one switch (More → Calendar) and every confirmed shift is mirrored into your device calendar with a 12-hour reminder — in Egypt time, overnight shifts handled correctly. Cancel or swap a shift and the calendar event disappears on its own. No per-booking prompts, ever. ### New: Group Chat Replies - **Swipe to reply** — New-style. Swipe any message right (or long-press → Reply) to quote it; the sent bubble shows a tappable quote card that jumps back to the original. ### New: Duties Hub Upgrades - **AI Duty Assistant** — ask in Arabic or English ("how do i bring blood?") and it points you at the best published guide(s). Dictate with the mic or type. Reached from the Duties Hub or the AI chip on the home card. - **Offline Library** — download the entire guide library (text + images) for reading with zero signal; it silently updates itself when you're back online. - **Hospital map** — a zoomable Kasr Al-Ainy map, shareable as PDF (KA students only). ### Fresh Look - **Each area now has its own color identity** — My Shifts in ocean blue, Friends in rose, Study in marigold, Duties in clay — while Home keeps the signature teal. Same app, easier to know where you are at a glance. - **Live release banner** — the cycle countdown morphs in place into a "booking open" banner the second the cycle opens. - **Calmer notification list** — color is reserved for genuine good/bad news; everything else stays neutral so the list is easier to scan. ### Everyday Polish - **Fresh on open** — screens quietly refresh their data each time you open them, with no spinner flash. - **No popup ever covers the whole screen** — every bottom sheet now leaves the page peeking through the top and scrolls inside if the content is tall. - **Quieter notifications** — content-free "You have a new notification" buzzes are suppressed; you only get pushes that actually have something to say. --- ## For Coordinators - **Decimal points fixed** — you can now enter values like `1.5` in the weekly template points field even when your keyboard hides the decimal separator. - **Auto-applied weekly templates** now show a clear banner explaining what was filled in, so you know it can be edited or cleared. - **Shift transfers stay accurate** — after a transfer or swap is accepted, the Members section updates immediately instead of showing the old booker.
