HOME SCREEN 1. Ember Pulse home screen — The Workout tab has a new look: a glowing pulse-bar field showing your recent training volume, a headline greeting (pulled from a large bank of lines, long-press to reroll), and a streak line. The Ember Pulse styling rolls out to every tab. 2. Tappable pulse bars — Tap the pulse field for a training summary (last month / last quarter); long-press a bar to see that day's minutes. 3. Week streak fix — Your week streak now only breaks after a gap of more than 9 days, so shifting your weekly workout day no longer resets it or makes it fluctuate from day to day. 4. Quick duration/warm-up sheet — A small chip under "Create Workout" opens a sheet to change workout duration and warm-up without digging into Settings. 5. Discard a paused workout — A "Discard Workout" link on the paused-workout card, and long-pressing the exit (X) in the workout player, now lets you throw a workout away (with confirmation). ONBOARDING & SETTINGS 6. Quick, skippable onboarding — New users can optionally set sex, birthdate, gear, experience level, and joint protections up front across five short steps, with "Skip setup" always available. 7. Equipment gets its own Settings section — Its gear list is expanded by default, and onboarding gear choices are based on what exercises actually use. 8. Workout Defaults tidy-up — Sections reordered, with Movement expanded by default. 9. Simpler Favorite Boost — The 1–5x slider is replaced by Off / 5x / 10x. Existing settings snap to the nearest level. 10. Mute all audio — A new setting (Quick Settings and Settings > Exercise Library) silences every video clip and the workout timer's beeps, bells, and knocks. It is stored on your device only. 11. Mute button in the workout — A speaker button in the workout header mutes and unmutes instantly without pausing. The header was rebalanced so "Exercise X of N" stays centered. WORKOUT GENERATION 12. Shorter, adjustable rest — Default rest now follows intensity (low 30s, medium 45s, high 60s; previously 90s). The Rest Periods setting adjusts rest from -30s to +30s in 10-second steps. Previously saved reductions carry over. 13. More varied sets — Exercises get 1, 2, or 3 sets (weighted toward 2) with reps that follow the set count, instead of near-identical blocks. Even rep ranges always produce even reps, and exercises that alternate sides always get an even total so neither side gets an extra rep. 14. Better time-fitting — Generation now budgets rest after every set, matching the workout timer, so the workout lands closer to your requested duration. METRICS & RANKINGS 15. Drop Jump — A new Jump metric that computes Reactive Strength Index (rebound height ÷ ground contact time), with a modeled percentile ranking normalized to a standard drop height. Drop height is required; notes explain that manual stopwatch timing is imprecise without a jump-timing app or contact mat. 16. More VO2 Max tests — VO2 Max can now be logged from the Cooper 12-Minute Run, Rockport 1-Mile Walk, or 20m Shuttle Run, all ranked against the 2022 FRIEND treadmill dataset. VO2 Max joins the Rankings summary strip. 17. "How to do this test" — Every metric now has a "?" button explaining how to perform the test and how it's ranked, available before you log anything. 18. Broad Jump in the Rankings strip — Broad Jump now appears in "Your Rankings." SHARING 19. Share card refresh — The share card has a brighter ember-gradient look, a random greeting headline in place of the tagline, and sets × reps per exercise. Long-press Share Workout in History to reroll the greeting. EXERCISE LIBRARY 20. New exercises — 40 exercises added from the October 2026 batch: single-leg plyometrics (single-leg pogos, single-leg box jump variations, Bulgarian split squat jumps, Russian lunges), isometric strength work (overcoming/yielding isometrics, split squat rack iso pulls), bounding and power skips, and quick pogo/hop drills. The library now totals 931 exercises.

RANKINGS 1. More accurate lift Rankings — Squat, Deadlift, Bench, OHP, Row, and Pull-Up Rankings now use a real population model blending trained-lifter and general-population data, replacing an older model with unreachable gaps in the lower percentiles. Every percentile from 1st to 99th is now reachable for any sex/age. 2. Rankings now use your best 1RM — Rankings previously considered only your Epley-estimated 1RM, even when a more accurate Velocity-Based Training estimate was available. It now always uses whichever is higher. 3. Simpler Rankings display — Cards and the summary strip now show a single "Top X%" (or "Bottom N%" below the median) instead of a redundant two-number percentile display. 4. Cooper 12-Minute Run — A new trackable Metrics exercise: log a distance and get an Estimated VO2 Max, ranked against Cooper Institute/ACSM population data. Distance unit (mi/km/m) is a new Settings preference. 5. Percentile-tier chart coloring — Charts for every rankable exercise now color each point by its percentile tier (gold/silver/bronze/no medal), with a legend. 6. Chart time range selector — Metrics charts default to your last quarter instead of your full history, with a Month/Quarter/Year/All toggle (default configurable in Settings). 7. 1RM Multiple chart — A new "Multiple" tab on the six core lifts shows your Est. 1RM as a multiple of bodyweight over time. 8. Vertical Jump ranking update — Squat Jump Height now ranks against the Canadian Health Measures Survey instead of the China National Health Survey, with better coverage at the high end. EXERCISE LIBRARY 9. New exercises — 91 exercises added from the September 2026 batch (leg curl/extension alternatives, plyometric and speed drills, landmine and kettlebell core/rotational work), plus 4 new equipment types (suspension trainer, sliders, rowing machine, GHD machine). 10. Removed unavailable exercises — 288 exercises whose source YouTube videos are no longer available were removed from the library after manual verification, along with a handful of duplicate/mistimed entries from an earlier batch. The library now totals 622 exercises. 11. Shorter, non-wrapping gear labels — Long equipment labels ("Smith Machine," "Grappling Dummy," "Weight Plates") were shortened, and Library filter chips resize to fit instead of wrapping to a second line. SETTINGS 12. Settings moved off the tab bar — Settings now opens from a gear icon on Workout, Library, History, and Metrics instead of taking its own tab, freeing up room for Metrics. 13. Profile split from Metrics — Sex, birthdate, and body weight now live on their own Profile screen; unit preferences moved into Metrics alongside Rankings and Graphs. WORKOUT PREVIEW 14. Workout preview exercise list — The Workout Preview screen now shows a compact, scannable list of your main workout's exercises (name, sets, reps) below the Warm-Up summary. VIDEO 15. Fullscreen fix for Shorts-sourced clips — A handful of clips sourced from YouTube Shorts had no way to go fullscreen. A fullscreen button now always appears on exercise videos in the Library and Workout Player. BUG FIXES 16. Workout generation duration fix — Generating a workout with a narrow exercise filter (or one unlucky long exercise) could stop after just 2-3 exercises, well short of your requested duration. Generation now caps how much time any single exercise can consume and reuses exercises for extra rounds when the filtered pool runs dry. 17. Mid-workout add & history accuracy — Adding an exercise mid-workout now respects your real Settings filters and gives the new exercise its own sets/reps instead of copying whatever you were just doing. History, sharing, and pausing/resuming a workout now reflect exercises and sets you added or removed mid-session, instead of the original plan. 18. Velocity no longer required for Metrics — Logging a lift entry without a bar-speed reading works again. Velocity is optional; charts fall back to Est. 1RM automatically when it's missing.

METRICS 1. Metrics tab — A new tab lets you log performance numbers (weight, reps, distance, time, velocity, and more) against 20 benchmark exercises — squat, deadlift, sprint, vertical jump, dead hang, and others — to measure your strength, power, and plyometric training progress. 2. Velocity-Based Training (VBT) 1RM — For the six core lifts (Squat, Deadlift, Bench, Overhead Press, Row, Pull-Up), log a bar-speed reading alongside weight and reps to get an estimated 1-rep max. Log a Known 1RM once for a more accurate, personally-calibrated estimate. 3. Rankings — See how your logged Metrics stack up against the general population as a percentile, broken out by sex and age group, with a methodology model explanation for each number. The "Your Rankings" summary strip on the Metrics tab shows top-line percentiles for your key lifts. 4. Metrics trend charts — Each lift gets a trend chart with a toggle between Estimated 1RM and Velocity, so you can see progress over time at a glance. SHARE WORKOUT 5. Workout Sharing — Share a branded summary card (workout length, exercises done, calories burned) to Instagram or Facebook Stories, or save it to your camera roll, from the Workout Complete screen or from History. 6. Workout Complete screen — Finishing a workout now shows a recap (duration, exercises, calories) with Share, Done, and Delete options. EXERCISE LIBRARY 7. New exercises — 178 exercises added across the August 2026 batch, bringing the library to over 800 total. This batch adds bodyweight cardio and metabolic circuits, kettlebell strength and power work, and landmine variations. 8. New equipment — Mace, aqua bag, and grappling dummy are now available as equipment filters in the Library. SETTINGS 9. Settings redesign — Settings is now a home screen with Workout, Profile, and About sections, each opening its own focused screen (Workout Defaults, Exercise Library, Body & Units, Rankings, Account) instead of one long scrolling page. 10. Beep Volume control was removed — countdown audio now always plays at full volume. PERFORMANCE 11. Faster History and Metrics tabs — Both tabs now show your data immediately from local storage and sync from the cloud in the background.

1. Warm-Up Generator — Every workout now starts with a tailored warm-up. The warm-up mirrors the movement patterns in your main workout (squats before squat jumps, hip hinges before depth drops, etc.) and scales in length with the workout duration — roughly 2 minutes for a short session, up to 10 minutes for a long one. Warm-up exercises flow continuously with no rest between them. 2. Warm-up duration — Warm-up time is carved from your total requested workout duration instead of added on top. A 20-minute workout request means 20 minutes total, warm-up included. 3. Warm-up exercise icons — Every warm-up exercise displays a clean SVG silhouette icon with motion cues, making each movement immediately recognizable at a glance. 4. Skip warm-up — A "Skip warm-up" button is available at any point during the warm-up phase to jump directly to the main workout. 5. Warm-up toggle — A toggle in Settings lets you disable the warm-up globally. It defaults to on. 6. Next exercise equipment hint — The active and rest screens now show the equipment needed for the upcoming exercise, so you can grab what you need before the rest period ends. 7. Louder countdown beeps — The workout countdown beep has been boosted 3× for easier hearing during high-intensity training. 8. Knocking sound timing fix — The knocking sound that plays near the end of a rest period now correctly fires at 10 seconds remaining. 9. New exercises — 38 exercises added across the July 2026 batch, bringing the library to 643 total. This batch adds slant board hop progressions, sandbag-loaded plyometrics, depth jump and box jump combos, kettlebell and landmine work, and chest power drills (medicine ball, sled, and Smith machine throws). 10. New equipment — Sandbag, slant board, and Smith machine are now available as equipment filters in the Library.

1. New exercises — 52 exercises added in the June 2026 batch, bringing the library to 605 total. This batch adds hurdle drills, depth drop and depth jump combos, broad jump variations, rotational jumps, lunge jump progressions, lateral bounds, agility drills, and more. 2. New equipment — Agility rings and stall bars are now available as equipment filters in the Library. 3. Exercise Pool multi-month filter — The Exercise Pool filter in Settings now supports multi-select: check off multiple months to draw from several batches at once. "All exercises" clears the selection as before. 4. Video clip fix — Watching a clip in fullscreen during a workout no longer exits fullscreen when the clip loops.

1. Gear profiles — Save named equipment configurations (e.g., "Home", "Gym") and switch between them from Settings without re-toggling individual items. 2. New exercises — 8 exercises added from the May 2026 batch, bringing the library to 550+ total. 3. Video clip fix — Exercise video clips now consistently play correctly within their segment. Previously, some clips continued playing past the end of the exercise. 4. Equipment filter fix — Library equipment chips now sort alphabetically by label. Exercises requiring multiple pieces of equipment only appear when all of them are available.

1. New exercises — 200+ exercises added from the April 2026 batch, bringing the library to 500+ total. 2. Add exercise from Workout Player — the + button now adds a random exercise (1–2 sets) directly from the active workout. 3. Layout stability — exercise name, set, and reps no longer shift vertically when the timer changes state or when the exercise name spans one vs. two lines. 4. Workout Player exercise count fix — the "Exercise # of #" counter now counts unique exercises instead of flat sets. 5. Remove exercise fix — removing an exercise from the Workout Player no longer deletes multiple groups of the same exercise.

1. New exercises — A fresh batch of exercises has been added to the library. 2. Library search — Find exercises by name with the new search bar in the Library. 3. Library filter by month — The "New" batch filter in the Library is now grouped and labeled by month, making it easier to find recent additions. 4. Settings month filter — The month filter in Settings now only affects workout generation, not Library browsing. 5. Settings Face ID login — Enable or disable Face ID sign-in from the Settings tab (email/password accounts). 6. Settings beep volume control — Adjust the workout timer beep volume from Settings. 7. Workout add set - An "Add Set" button in the workout player lets you add sets mid-session. 8. Workout rest audio warning — A knocking sound plays 10 seconds before your rest period ends as a heads-up to get ready. 9. Workout add exercise — Add an exercise to your current workout from the Workout Planner. 10. Workout drag to reorder — Rearrange exercises in your workout by dragging from the workout planner screen. 11. Workout exercise favorite & exclude — Add or remove favorites and excludes directly from the workout player, without leaving the workout. 12. History YouTube links - Exercise rows in the weekly and monthly history drill-down now include YouTube buttons.

1. 62 new exercises — A fresh batch of plyometric exercises has been added to the library, sourced from YouTube video analysis. 2. Filter by new exercises — A "New" chip in the Library lets you quickly browse the latest batch of exercises. New additions also appear at the bottom of the Focus filter list under "Added." 3. Sign in with Google and Apple — You can now create an account and sign in using Google or Apple in addition to email/password. 4. Face ID Sign-In — Email/password accounts can now unlock the app with Face ID. Enable it from the Settings tab, or when prompted at sign-in. 5. Watch on YouTube — YouTube buttons now appear throughout the app: on exercise detail pages, in workout summaries, on your most frequent exercises, and in the weekly/monthly history drill-down. 6. History drill-down — Tap the "This Week" or "This Month" stat cards to see a day-by-day breakdown of your workouts and the exercises you did. 7. Remove All Excludes — A new button in the Library lets you clear all excluded exercises at once. 8. Cleaner history view — Older workout history months are collapsed by default to keep your recent activity front and center.
