Anila 1.9 — rounds that build themselves. • Built your rounds by hand, one segment per round? The Builder now notices segments that repeat the same breath and offers to merge them into one segment with its rounds set. The session plays exactly the same — and one edit then reaches every round. • Every segment now shows its rounds at a glance ("7 phases · 10 rounds · 4 min"), so the number that multiplies your cycle is never out of sight. • The guide says it in one line: segments are for different parts — breathing, then stillness — and rounds do the repeating. • Minutes everywhere you choose a practice: quick breaths and "pick up where you left off" now show their length before you tap. • Locking your phone simply pauses the breath — your place is kept, the paused screen now says so, and the guide explains it (with a pointer to the Watch app for phone-down practice). As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

Anila 1.8.3 — the Builder grows up. • Slot a new phase anywhere in a cycle: tap the ⋯ next to a phase and choose Add below. Add a hold after an inhale once, and it repeats in every round — no per-round editing. • Finer timing control: phase lengths now step by a tenth of a second under two seconds, down to half a second, so the quick top-up breaths some practices use are yours to tune. And you can Duplicate your own sequence to make a variant. • Four built-in programs the guide mentions — Wind-Down, Morning Spark, Focus Block, Midday Reset — now appear under Programs in the Library. • Ending a session now asks first and says what will be kept. The spoken voice recovers after an alarm or Siri interrupts, and speaks the moments that matter with your eyes closed — the open hold, the finish, what's next. • Honest little things: clearer messages when a reminder can't be scheduled or a backup only partly imports, editing your own sequence keeps its daily-practice pin, and the help text now matches every button it names. As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

Anila 1.8.2 — cycles that explain themselves. • The Builder now shows each phase's note ("Breathe easy", "Hold · soft and empty"), so a practice you copied explains why its cycle has the shape it has — and what to remove if you want a different one. • The guide spells out how rounds work: every phase in the cycle plays, in order, every round. Trim the cycle to exactly the breath you want, then set your rounds. • The spoken voice now plays even when the ringer is muted — tapping Voice answers out loud right away. And the Builder's name field finally looks like one: tap anywhere on it to name your sequence. As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

Anila 1.8.1 — your sequences, safe. • Back up everything you've built: Settings → Your data → "Export your sequences" saves a file you keep; "Import sequences" brings it back — on this phone or a new one. (Your data lives only on your device; deleting the app deletes it, so export before you ever reinstall.) • The You tab's "Your sequences" now opens the Library showing just yours — no more hunting. • Honest help: the FAQ now says plainly that there's no between-device sync yet, and to use Update (never delete-and-reinstall) when a new version arrives.

Anila 1.7.1 — your copies, truly yours. From a user report, fixed with care: • Copies now keep the original practice's name, wear a small "Yours" mark, and appear right in the feeling section you chose — Calm, Energize, Sleep — alongside the originals. • Rename and re-file any of your practices: touch and hold → Rename or Move to, or use the ⓘ details page. • Building is easier: start the Builder from any library practice, see the total length as you edit, drop in a classic shape (box, 4-7-8, coherent) in one tap, and pin a fresh save as a daily practice right from the confirmation.

Anila 1.7 answers the two questions you actually asked us. • "How do I do this one?" Every practice with real mechanics — pursed lips, the humming bee, the tongue-curl of Sheetali, alternate nostrils, the bellows breaths, the ladders — now teaches itself: step-by-step instructions before your first session, and always readable from the practice's ⓘ page. • "Can I change the timings?" You always could — now you can find it. Every technique's details page has "Adjust timings": it opens the Builder with that practice filled in, as your own copy. Change any count, save, and your version lives beside the original. • Create from the Breathe tab. The Builder now has a door right on the home screen — breath, meditation, or both, at your own timings. • Gentler, clearer sessions. While Anila is new to you, Pause and End stay on screen the whole session; a paused breath now says "Paused"; open holds explain themselves; and the reflection afterward counts exactly what you practiced — never more.

Anila 1.5 makes the whole app breathe. • A living session. The orb is now drawn by the graphics engine behind the opening — a nebula of light that moves inside the body of the orb, stills itself while you hold, and glows at the rim to say "steady, keep holding." • A new opening. The app is born out of darkness: one spark unfurls into the full aurora, stars arrive one by one, and the occasional meteor crosses the sky. Three quotes on the breath settle in, one at a time, written word by word. One tap begins whenever you're ready. • Every screen breathes. Backgrounds drift on the same slow rhythm as your practice, the grain moves like film, and the glass bar holds a pool of light. • The Breathing Room. Nine long-form essays in Learn — from The First Five Minutes to A Short History of Pranayama — with drawn diagrams, honest reading times, and a quiet checkmark when you've read one. After a session, the afterglow offers you one you haven't read yet. • On Apple Watch. The wrist orb has real depth now — a hot center, an edge lit from above — and releases small embers as you breathe out. Plus a Library search field that's there when you need it, and reference pages that now share one source of truth with the practice library. As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

A small polish to the new look: the glass tab bar now settles into the bottom of the screen properly — content fades gently into the dark beneath it instead of showing through around the bar. As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

Anila 1.3 is a new face and a sharper mind: finding the right practice quickly, being trusted with what you've done — and an opening worth watching. • A living opening. Anila now begins with its aurora: the orb breathing in a field of drifting light and quiet stars, with a new line each day. Stay as long as you like — one tap begins. • Find your pace. A new tool that breathes with you: slide to the rate that feels easy, watch the orb follow it, then practise at exactly that rhythm. • A calmer start to every session — a short "settle in" beat before the first breath, so you arrive instead of being thrown in. • A Library you can scan. Practices are grouped, cards stay short, and every card has an ⓘ for the full picture — timing, level, tradition, and the shape of one whole breath cycle. • A luminous new look: glowing orb buttons wherever a practice begins, and a glass tab bar where a soft pool of light breathes behind the selected tab. • Your rhythm, honestly kept. A session you end after a few seconds no longer counts toward your streak or ticks off your daily routine. • Cautions that respect your memory: full safety guidance the first time you start a practice, a one-tap confirmation after. • A gentle daily reminder, if you'd like one — off unless you turn it on. • Take your history with you: export your practice log from Settings. • On Apple Watch: your rhythm on the wrist, "Once more" when you finish, a suggestion when nothing is pinned, and holds that feel different from each other. Plus a "Recent" list in You, a preview when you choose haptic strength, and refinements throughout. As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

Your daily routine, fully in your hands. • Pin any practice or sequence as a daily practice — from its card, anywhere in the app. Home then leads you through your routine in order, and your Apple Watch keeps it at the top. • See it at a glance: practices in your routine wear a small sun, favorites a star — on every card, in every list. • Manage it where it lives: tap Edit next to "Your rituals" on the Home screen to reorder or remove practices in place, or long-press any ritual card. • Your routine also appears at the top of the Library, above Favorites. Plus small refinements throughout. As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.

Anila 1.1 brings the full Kriya sequence — the complete traditional practice, from seat to stillness, in four guided parts: • Kriya I · Preparation — settle, balance the channels, build warmth • Kriya II · Channel & Chakra — the inner map, and the navel practices • Kriya III · Kriya Pranayama — the spinal-breath family • Kriya IV · Seals & Absorption — the seals, and rest Each part fits comfortably in one sitting — and finishes on Apple Watch. Take one part on a short morning, or move through all four across the day. Also new: • Eleven practices from the sequence, each available on its own — vase breathing, Navi Kriya, Breath of Light, Shambhavi Mudra, and more. • Make it your daily routine in one tap. Home then leads you through the parts in order, and your watch keeps them at the top. • Sequence cards now carry each practice's own hue on the Home screen. The advanced practices open from Settings, ask you to confirm you're set up safely before they begin, and are paced for practitioners familiar with these teachings.
