We've been smoothing the edges so Fern feels a little gentler every time you open it. Every check-in and log now ends the same calm way — a soft, living gradient and one kind word instead of a busy screen Light mode got a full polish, so everything's easy on the eyes, morning or night More breathing room on your home screen — less to take in, more space to just be New to Fern? You can try it free — start your trial anytime and see if it's a fit, no pressure. Thank you for showing up for yourself. We're honored to be part of it.

What's new in Fern Recovery Wins — a calm new place to save your small victories (a fear food faced, a rest day taken, a moment of self-compassion) and come back to them on the harder days. It's always free. A note from the founder — a short, personal message when you begin, on why Fern exists. Add a photo to a meal moment — optional, and it stays private on your device. A refreshed profile — your space is now easier to read at a glance. Gentler learning visuals — the reading modules have softer, more inviting illustrations. Calmer motion throughout — smoother, quieter animations across the whole app. "Movement" instead of "exercise" — gentler language, and you can now include movement in your exported log. Smoother and steadier — fixed an issue that could cause the app to freeze after logging a few times.

The version currently live on the App Store contains a subscription-enforcement bug. Due to an error in our entitlement logic, users are able to dismiss the paywall and continue accessing premium functionality indefinitely without an active subscription. As a small team, this is causing meaningful, ongoing revenue loss every day it remains live. Version 1.2.0 corrects this by properly enforcing the premium entitlement: the free tier is now limited to basic logging, and all other premium features correctly prompt the subscription. Restore Purchases and the introductory free-trial offer continue to function as configured. Because the issue is actively impacting our revenue while the current version is live, we would be very grateful if this update could be expedited.

Bug fixes and performance improvements, including a fix for the onboarding screen showing on every app launch, and improved subscription flow for new users.
