• Alarms have been rebuilt: an alarm whose switch is on now always rings at its time. Fixed alarms that failed to ring on time, or rang all at once in the small hours. • An alarm that looked switched on in the previous version but was never actually set now shows as off. Turn it on again to have it ring; the app tells you once if any are found. • "Once" alarms are gone. Leave the weekdays unselected and the alarm rings every day. • iPhone Duo is now supported: closed, open or half-folded, the watch and its icons arrange themselves to suit. • The familiar can now be sent to sleep and woken again. When asked to silence a bell, it now stops only your alarms — never the timer or the Rite of Waking.

• Each launch now opens with a line from the Grimoire. Touch it to go on. • The glass bar at the bottom now takes on the colour of your watch's casing. • On devices without Face ID, the Rite of Visage no longer appears.

• The home buttons now dwell as icons on a bar of glass at the bottom. An icon glows while its work runs. • Turn on "Show labels under icons" in the settings to add each chamber's name beneath its icon.

• The familiar used to answer "I do not know" without ever using its tools. It now reaches for them properly — the time, the bells, the weather and the web. • If it has no name yet, it asks thee for one, then goes by the name thou givest. Its name can be seen and forgotten from the arcane settings. • The instructions handed to the familiar can now be read from the arcane settings. • Fixed the familiar getting stuck repeating one phrase.

• Entering the nightstand view while still holding the watch upright pushed the clock and the calendar off the edges of the screen. Everything now fits.

• When the encounter rite would not start, we only told you to check your connection. If your name is already on the register, the app now says so, and that turning the rite off on your other device frees it.

• Housekeeping only — nothing changes in how the watch looks or works. We made our privacy declaration more precise, to match what the app actually does.

• Fixed the Encounter rite, which had stopped working. You can meet nearby wizards again. • When something goes wrong, the watch now tells you why instead of staying silent — a record it could not read, a permission it still needs. • Fixed text that appeared in Japanese in other languages. • Fixed weekday initials that were cut off in some languages.

You can now speak to it — ask the time or your schedule, and set alarms and timers by voice. We also fixed a problem where an alarm could fail to be saved.

Internal refinements. Nothing changes in how you use it.

Fixed some descriptions that appeared in Japanese instead of your own language. Also includes minor fixes.

Greatly reduced battery use while the watch is open — the dial now redraws only the hands that actually move. Nothing looks different. Also includes minor fixes.

Fixed nearby detection, which was not working. Passing another wizard is now recorded, and the place you met appears on the map. Your records are kept in iCloud, so they survive a new device or a reinstall.

Rebuilt how nearby detection works. It no longer requires an iCloud sign-in, and detection is more reliable. Also includes minor fixes and improvements.

Fixed an issue that could cause the app to quit at launch and improved stability.

Fixed garbled wording that appeared in a few languages. Clock and alarm times now show morning and evening unmistakably in every language.

Refined the wording across all languages, and fixed display glitches and a rare issue in some of them.

Improved alarm continuity for Wake Rite. The system alarm backup now remains available if the app closes during the rite, until the 36-second light challenge is completed. We also improved alarm recovery and localized wording.

Bug fixes and improvements.

• The Rite of Encounter is unsealed. Pass a mage bearing the same Kaikoku, and the dial flashes to tell each of you the other's byname. • New — "Notify even in a pocket": even stowed away, you are told when you pass someone keeping it open before them (nearness by iBeacon; only the byname is drawn from iCloud). • Those you pass remain in the "Record of Encounters" as a codex — with a sigil, a title, and the place and hour you met. • Only the byname and an anonymous mark are exchanged; neither your location nor identity is sent. It does not work while both parties are stowed away.

• New alarm mode: The Rite of Waking. It will not stop until you shine strong light into the camera for 36 seconds. • Try it before bed — see exactly how much light will stop it, and preview alarm sounds right from the list. • It vibrates hard while ringing, and the device alarm wakes you even at volume 0 or with the app closed. • Tap a button on the lock screen and the rite begins right away. • Tap the watch face on Apple Watch and Kaikoku is handed to your iPhone. If Kaikoku is closed, a notification lets you know. • Long-press the home screen icon to jump straight to Tollbell, Hourglass, or the Rite of Waking. • Switching the casing between gold and silver is now reliable, and scheduled alarms take on the new hue as well. • Fixed garbled text in a few languages.

• Give each alarm its own crest — the list is far easier to tell apart at a glance. • Richer alarm sound: use the system alarm tone, try the new "Fanfare of the Fallen" bell, choose which speaker plays, and turn on vibration. • Time is now shown in 24-hour format. Lock the hands so the time won't shift by accident, then unlock to set it. • A confirmation now appears before you save, discard, or delete — and daytime legibility is improved.

• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements throughout.

• In-app language selection is now smooth. Scroll through and pick from every language with ease. • Plus minor fixes and stability improvements throughout.
