Start a routine without opening the app, from Control Center, the Lock Screen, a widget, or by asking Siri. And six starter routines are built in, so a blank screen is never the first thing you meet. Starter routines: begin with Workday Morning, Getting Home, Meds and Food, Daily Reset, Wind Down for Bed, or Focus Sprint, then change anything you like. Nothing is locked. Start from anywhere: a Control Center button, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island controls, and a widget that runs a routine without opening Cuebird. Watch a color drain instead of a ring. The whole screen empties from the top as the step runs, so the time left reads from across the room. Soundscape: rain, brown noise, or waves under a run, sitting behind your steps rather than competing with them. Off unless you turn it on, and it sits out any run where your own music is already playing. On the nightstand: put the phone on a charger in StandBy and a wind-down routine stays near black, with the countdown big enough to read from bed. Focus filters: let a Focus show only the routines that belong to it, and keep finishes calm while it is on. Scheduled alarms still ring either way. Calendar awareness: if a routine would run into a meeting, Cuebird says so before you start. It reads your calendar on the phone and stores nothing. Sleep rhythm: let Cuebird read Health and a scheduled wind-down routine shows the time you usually fall asleep, and how its finish sits against that. It stays on this phone. If a start time slips by, Cuebird can check back once, quietly, twenty minutes later. Off unless you ask for it. After a run you can say how it felt with one tap, and skipping the question costs nothing. Insights notices which times of day tend to go well for you. Double Tap on Apple Watch pauses a run without touching the screen. Setting times got easier: choose a wake alarm or a quiet reminder for each time, see collisions before you save, and watch the out-the-door total as you edit a step.

Households work a new way now, and doing a routine together is the reason. Your household lives in its own shared, end-to-end encrypted space, so linking your people is lighter and a household no longer uses your iCloud storage. Cuebird still has no servers and cannot read any of it. If you shared a household before, it needs setting up once more: start a new one, or ask someone for a fresh code. All of your routines are still here. New in this version: - Do it together: in the same room, run a routine in step. One shared 3, 2, 1 start, and pause, skip or a minute back move for everyone at once, so nobody is left behind. Near each other it is instant. Apart, it stays in sync across your household. - Invite by text: send a link, and your person is in the moment they tap it, even if your phone is closed. Showing a code to scan still works when you are together. - Be in more than one household at once, your own and the one at your mum's, each with its own name and its own people.

Household is here for everyone. Start a routine for your household and the people you live with get a gentle offer to jump in, landing exactly where you are. Join or sit it out, and nobody is told either way. Also new: - Be in several households at once. Your own, and the one at your mum's. Every routine says which one it came from. - Name your household, see who is in it, and add people from one place. - Your Apple Watch can pause, resume and skip. - Skipped something by mistake? Undo it. Running long? Take a minute back. Everything travels through your own iCloud. Cuebird has no servers and cannot read any of it.

Out the door by 7:05? Now Cuebird tells you whether your steps fit. Give a routine a start time and an out-the-door time, and it shows the window, what your steps actually add up to, and one tap to squeeze them in if you are over. Also new: • Your list knows what day it is. Today sorts by time with the next one badged, other days wait their turn, and unscheduled routines sit quietly at the bottom. • Schedule view: everything Cuebird will ring over the next seven days, in one place. • More than one time per routine, each with its own days. Weekdays at 7:00, weekends at 9:00, one routine. • Blocks: build a group of steps once, link it into as many routines as you like, and edit it in one place. • Record your own voice for any step, in your voice or someone else's. Recordings stay on your device. • Quick Timer and Ring Me At, for the times you do not need a whole routine. • Go back a step mid-run, a gentler wake sound, and Save and Add Next while building.

• New here? A built-in 2-minute sample run shows the whole loop before you build anything • Your streak now survives a single missed day. One miss doesn't set a habit back (really, there's research) • Every finish celebrates with fresh words • Share Cuebird and send feedback straight from Settings • Siri's "Start ..." phrases stay current when you rename routines • Send a routine to a family member's phone, and share milestone wins

MADE FOR YOUR MAC Cuebird now runs beautifully on Apple silicon Macs: chimes, voice guidance, and your companion Cue all work, and scheduled routines arrive as notifications you can tap to start. CUEBIRD'S OWN CHIMES New hand-tuned marimba sounds for step changes, wrap-up warnings, and finishes. The same warm sound on iPhone and Mac. Plus small fixes and polish. Thanks to our testers for the sharp ears!

Thanks to our very first testers, three updates in one: VOICE MODE Cuebird can speak each step ("Next: Shower, 10 minutes"), warn you 30 seconds before a step ends, and announce where you land when you skip. Prefer quiet? Chime and Silent modes are right in Settings. CUE KEEPS YOU COMPANY The mascot now hangs out on screen while a routine runs, cheers every step you finish, and sleeps through your wind-down. Bedtime routines run dimmer, too. KINDER, SHARPER DETAILS Delete stray runs from Insights so your real timings stay honest. Undo when you delete a step. Clear a name with one tap. Steadier duration wheels. Warmer words everywhere, and more realistic starter routines for new users.
