Lumen now runs on Claude Haiku 4.5 + Sonnet 4.6. Faster answers; deeper responses on harder theological questions. Mac fixes — the Choose Passage book picker now opens at the right size, and the translucent bar that was overlapping verses while scrolling is gone. Reading plans pay out every day. 3 Manna for marking each day complete, plus the existing 25-Manna bonus when you finish a plan. If Lumen ever hits a rate limit, your AI credit refunds automatically. Clearer error messages when something on the AI side goes wrong. Share cards now render as actual image cards — the kind you can post to Instagram. The plain-text share is gone. Reduce Motion is honored across launch, onboarding, and the rest of the app. If you've turned it on in Accessibility, the app stays calm. Better contrast on Vespers and onboarding screens. Bug fixes: a memory-pressure crash on older devices, a race that could lose progress when you completed two lessons within seconds, and a few drawer / sheet glitches when you tapped quickly. Removed the Leaderboard. The standings were generated on-device, which wasn't honest about what they were. Your weekly Manna stat stays on the Path screen as a personal tracker. Privacy: AI requests now route through a small server we run, so the Anthropic key isn't shipped in the app binary. Your conversations still stay on your device — Anthropic doesn't train on them.

Version 4.0 — a year of quiet polish, shipped. The big one: every single lesson now has a real teaching card before the quiz. Torah, Gospels, Epistles, Psalms — all 114 units, explained in warm prose before you're tested. No more surprise terminology. Elsewhere, we rewired the app for everyone: • Dynamic Type — reads cleanly at every size, from Small to Accessibility XXXL. • Reduce Motion respected — pulses, particles, and transitions calm down when you ask them to. • Dark Mode, done right — the whole Renaissance palette inverts cleanly, no more bright patches at midnight. • Mac app leveled up — right-click sidebar menus, quick-actions toolbar, keyboard shortcuts throughout. • Tradition-aware answers where Protestant and Catholic canons differ. • Faster launch, tighter layouts, and hundreds of small refinements you'll feel more than see. Thank you for reading with us.
