New in Clock Rings: • Alarms are reliable again. Some alarms could quietly fail to ring, and others could ring three or four times. Background refresh was re-arming your alarms while iOS suspended the app mid-way, leaving some unset and others set twice. That's fixed, and Clock Rings now repairs any alarms left in a bad state — including ones stuck from an earlier version. • More accurate TSP and retirement deductions. A percent-based TSP (or FERS/CSRS) contribution is now taken from your BASE pay, the way your pay stub does it — overtime and premium pay no longer inflate it. This also makes your estimated take-home noticeably more accurate. • The Dynamic Island countdown ticks down again. The compact pill now shows a live count-down to your next event instead of a fixed clock time — and still stays accurate while Clock Rings is closed. • More accurate estimated take-home pay. When you run a report over a long date range that includes time you weren't tracking yet (like the Year view early on), it now estimates your net only for the pay periods you actually worked — so an empty stretch no longer makes your take-home look too low. • Fixed Light Mode looking flat — grouped cards are back on every screen. • Polish: the lunch and break time editors now match the dark-mode theme, and small layout tidy-ups on the Timecard and Alarm editor.

New in Clock Rings: • Your clocks stay accurate outside the app. The countdown on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, CarPlay, and widgets no longer freezes while Clock Rings is closed — it ticks live, and the Dynamic Island now shows your next event's exact time at a glance. A new background refresh keeps everything current and tidies up the "Clocked Out" banner on its own. • "Clocked Out" now reads the same everywhere — the DualClock and Icon widgets say "Clocked Out" off the clock instead of "No Tour." • Begin Tour at a Custom Time can now set an exact time for lunch, breaks, and End Tour right in the preview — not just your start time. • Annual leave on the Retirement card now shows its hours next to the cash-out value, like the sick-leave line. • Apple Watch now shows decimal time on your next event and schedule when Use Decimal Format is on. • A richer, clearer pay report — the PDF and in-app Reports now break out your deductions (mandatory vs. voluntary), show the total, your take-home percentage, and an average per pay period, so gross-to-net is easy to follow.

New in Clock Rings: • New clock faces — Minimal, Bar, Dashboard (a live info face), and a classic Flip clock, on iPhone and Apple Watch. • Operations tracking — clock your tour against TACS operations, "move" between them, and see time per operation for the day, week, and pay period. Now syncs across your devices, and every move can be edited, deleted, or backfilled from a new Move History screen — including an optional note for context ("saw Union Steward," "traveled to Station," etc.). (Optional, off by default — turn it on in Settings → Operations.) • New "Dashboard" widget — the live 6-tile status grid from the Dashboard clock face, in Small, Medium, and Large. The Small size can go on CarPlay too (iOS 26): add it under Settings → General → CarPlay → your car → Widgets, and your tour dashboard rides along in the car. • All-season weather alerts — heat, heat index, cold, wind chill, rain, snow/ice, storms, and wind, each with your own threshold. • How-To videos now update automatically from our YouTube playlist. • New Dashboard polish — clearer columns, day-of-week on Leave and Holiday, and a three-part Retirement card. • Redesigned app icon that adapts to Light, Dark, Tinted, and Clear. • Dark Mode refresh — menus, lists, and sheets now carry the Dashboard's dark-blue tint (and follow your Appearance color) instead of plain grey. • Send Feedback now includes a quick diagnostic summary, plus an expanded FAQ. • New auto-pause toggles for Weather Alerts, Holidays, and Leave Days — alarms (and now weather alerts, on any day you have no shift) quiet themselves automatically, no prompt needed. • Adjust Today's Schedule can now set an exact time for every event of the day — breaks, lunch, End Tour — not just your start time. • Fixed a rare bug where punches could appear duplicated after syncing across iPhone, widget, and Apple Watch. • Clock faces got a big pass — Detailed, Flip, Bar, and Minimal now fully honor your AM/PM, 24-hour, and flash-separator settings, and every face's colors now follow whichever format (Standard or Decimal) you've set as primary — on iPhone, widgets, and Apple Watch. • Dashboard now shows a live clock at the top in its own toggleable "Date & Clock" card, and the Dashboard clock face is the new default (with a matching, polished Apple Watch version). • Fixed alarms that could still ring on a scheduled day off, and a "Resume Now" that didn't always work — plus a new way to re-pause if you resume by mistake. • Fixes and refinements across the Dynamic Island, Live Activity, and more.

Smoothing the rough edges. Day Off Ahead: the prompt that asks whether to pause your alarms for an upcoming day off no longer flickers when you open the app, and once you answer it stays answered. And on a day you've paused for time off, Clock Rings now leaves your normal tour alone — no "Tour Starts Soon" reminder and no pre-shift clock on your Lock Screen for a day you've marked off. Home Screen widgets: the clock face and the punch buttons now render correctly in the Clear and Tinted widget styles — they could show as blank white shapes before. Default and Dark are unchanged. Apple Watch: the Decimal and Standard time complications are larger and easier to read. Questions or a request? Eric@EricRogersTechnology.com — thanks for using Clock Rings!

Overtime, made clear. When you stay clocked in past your scheduled end, Clock Rings now shows your Overtime — a stopwatch counting up from when your tour was set to finish, with End Tour right there. You'll see it the same way on the Live Activity, the Dynamic Island, and your Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets. Before, once your scheduled end passed, the Live Activity could switch to "Begin Tour" and count down to your next shift — as if you'd already clocked out. Now it stays clearly in Overtime until you end your tour yourself. Also: the overtime line on the Clock screen reads "this week so far" once you're past your scheduled end, instead of pointing back at a time that's already gone. Questions or a request?

• Quiet Days — alarms now pause automatically on your days off, approved leave, and holidays instead of going off when you're not working. New "Always Pause on Scheduled Days Off" option skips the weekdays you don't work, no prompt. • Paused alarms now clearly show as paused in your list, so a pause never looks like nothing happened. • Earnings Statement Compare — paste your ePayroll statement and Clock Rings lines its numbers up against the estimate, all on-device with your name and ID masked. • New Lock Screen widgets: decimal & standard clocks plus a Tour Progress ring. • Leave and holidays now appear on the Reports chart. • iPad: the sidebar tucks away after you pick a section so it no longer covers your content. • Full VoiceOver support across widgets and Apple Watch. • Fixes: more reliable Lock Screen punches, iPhone landscape layout, and various polish.
