New: Nestria Pro Lifetime — pay once, keep Pro for good. Monthly and yearly plans are still available, and everything you already have stays the same.

Small refinements to keep your daily check-ins calm and reliable.

Adding loved ones works again, with clear guidance if iCloud needs attention. Loved ones now shows both directions — who hears from you and who you hear from — and you can ask someone to add you. New care card: medicines, pets, spare key and doctor, ready to send to family. Nestria Pro adds each person's 30-day rhythm.

Nestria can now ask what you think of it — and it asks only where and when that is fair. The question appears on the family screen, never on the check-in screen. That screen is one large button with no streaks, no points and nothing to celebrate, and a pop-up does not belong there. It also appears only on a day when news has arrived, after news has arrived on at least five days in the past month. On a day with no news yet, it stays quiet: that is the moment a family worries, and worry is not something to sell against. Nothing else changed.

Nestria could crash at launch on some devices before the first screen appeared. The cause was a single call made while the app was still setting up: it asked for the iCloud container before the app knew whether iCloud was available, and that is not a question that can be asked early. It now asks at the moment it needs the answer, and an unavailable container is handled as a state rather than a stop. If Nestria closed on you immediately after tapping the icon, this is the version that fixes it. Nothing you had saved was lost — check-ins live on your device and in your own iCloud.

• Give and receive check-ins in one app, with separate tabs for your check-in and your loved ones. • Clearer invitations between different iCloud accounts. • Better notification setup checks and retry for pending uploads. • Local and Watch check-ins stay separate from other people's records.

When they tap, your phone now hears it even while Nestria is closed — so the “no word today” notice is cancelled the moment word arrives, instead of waiting for you to open the app. Their phone now reminds them each day, gently, with an “I’m okay” button right on the lock screen. If you live in a different time zone, the notice now follows their day, not yours.

The family screen now shows, in one calm line, how far ahead the quiet "no word today" notice stands — you never have to take it on faith. Plus a clearer message when the App Store can't load purchases.

A new app icon, drawn from scratch. Nestria asks one question, once a day, and the icon now says that instead of a bowl and an egg. Some screens still showed English words to people using the app in another language. Those gaps are closed. On a watch that had just been set up, the purchase options sometimes came back empty. Nestria now gives the App Store up to 15 seconds to answer instead of 1.6.
