Taking a break no longer costs you your streak. • Days covered by Vacation Mode now always count as paused. Once a vacation ended, those days could be treated as missed the next time you finished a habit — resetting your streak or using up your freezes. Your completion rate in Insights no longer shifts depending on which screen you'd opened, either. • The streak calendar marks vacation days as paused instead of missed. • You can now sign in with Google as well as Apple. If you do, your Google profile photo shows on the Me tab. • Fixed a case where habits and presets could lose the apps you'd chosen after your phone restarted. • Report an Issue now opens an email in whichever mail app you use, not only Apple Mail. If no mail app is set up, it shows you the address to write to. • Long steps when creating a habit or a tag scroll cleanly under the progress dots and the Next button instead of being cut off.

You no longer have to wait for your NFC tags to start. • Set up your first habit the day you install Helpfl, even if your NFC tag hasn't arrived. Your apps lock for real — you finish with a button instead of a scan, for five days. Register your tag when it arrives and it takes over the habit you already built. • If the five days run out first, that habit is paused rather than left locking your apps with no way to unlock them. Your streak is kept, and one tap picks it back up once you register a tag. • Setting up a tag now suggests names for the habit you have in mind — Pill Bottle, Gym Bag, Shoe Rack — with icons to match. • The first-run tour is shorter, and says up front that Helpfl needs an NFC tag, so the hardware isn't a surprise at the end of it. • Reminders, countdowns and the lock screen now agree with each other. If a habit hasn't got a tag yet, nothing tells you to scan one.

Fixes, plus two things that now speak up when they should. • Reinstalling no longer looks like starting from scratch. While your routines sync back from your account, Helpfl tells you they're on the way instead of showing you the first-run screen. • The reminder before a free trial converts to a paid subscription now always arrives. Reopening the app could previously clear it. • If a streak of a week or more ends, Helpfl asks whether something here got in the way — a shield that wouldn't lift, a tag that wouldn't scan. Rarely, and never again once you've answered. It goes straight to the person who reads it. • A couple of reminders if you've installed Helpfl but haven't set up a tag or a routine yet. They stop for good the moment you build one. • "Rate Helpfl" in your profile now opens the App Store review sheet properly.
