Improved sitting continuity when locking and unlocking your iPhone.

A little more clarity, with the same room to slow down. - A warmer welcome to your first sitting. Start with two minutes, whenever you're ready. - Choose “not now” when asked to sign in, and STARE will remember. - Clearer descriptions of STARE Pro and its prices, with an option to try again if prices don't load.

Moving or picking up your phone no longer pauses a sitting. This fixes a timer that could appear frozen while STARE was open.

Your diary now has a quieter contact sheet, short notes for every photograph, and new ways to turn a month of stares into a print. Leaving a moment for a friend and sitting together are easier to find. This update also improves text legibility and accessibility throughout.

Add a short note to each photograph and revisit it in your diary. Create beautiful diary prints with warm or night paper, flexible layouts, and PDF export. Friends and Stare Together are easier to find, with improved text legibility and accessibility throughout.

Leave a moment for a friend. They can sit whenever they are ready; when they keep their photograph, your two views become one paired memory. The paired reveal has a new look. The diary now offers a contact-sheet view, and a paired moment can become a portrait film to share when both people agree.

A sitting you discard now stays discarded. It could be written into the diary after its photograph had already been deleted, leaving an entry with nothing in it. VoiceOver can leave the diary and the feed. Both could trap a screen reader on the page with no way back. The return key works on the sign-in screen. Secondary text is a little lighter so it holds up in daylight, and the diary's month heading now lines up on its own left edge.
