Trace 1.12 is my biggest update yet: made for iOS 27 and designed to keep your health story visible, useful, and one tap away.
• LIVE ACTIVITY
Turn your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island into a live symptom control center. See every active symptom, change its severity, mark it gone, or jump straight back into Trace. Turn it on in Settings whenever you want it; it stays off until you ask.
• SHORTCUTS & QUICK LOG
New system actions make it easier to build personal tracking automations for symptoms and activities, with severity or amounts requested when needed. Add Quick Log to Control Center, your Lock Screen, or the Action Button for tracking that's always within reach.
• ACTIVE SYMPTOMS, EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK
A new badge on your homepage filters straight to what's active, and the same number now rides on your app icon, your Lock Screen, and your widgets, updating the moment you mark something gone, even without opening Trace. The Active Symptoms Lock Screen widget is free for everyone.
• SHARPER INSIGHTS
Every Insights card (frequency, severity, heatmaps, streaks, time of day, weekday patterns, period comparisons) now reads your diary the same way, so two cards can no longer tell you two different stories. Symptom charts carry your last reading forward instead of quietly trailing off.
• MADE FOR iOS 27
Trace feels at home with Liquid Glass, and keeps every screen reachable when its window changes size, including through iPhone Mirroring on your Mac.
• 5 NEW CONDITIONS, WITH TRACKERS BUILT AROUND THEM
- ADHD: Restlessness and Emotional Overwhelm
- Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA): Hip / Buttock Pain, Tendon / Heel Pain, Rib / Chest Wall Pain, and Injection / Infusion
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Intrusive Memories, Hypervigilance, and Nightmares
- Functional Neurological Disorder (FND): Balance / Unsteadiness
- Herpes (HSV): Swollen Glands and Antiviral Meds
That brings the library to 34 conditions, now grouped by category so yours is easier to find.
• BETTER GUIDANCE
New visual, step-by-step help makes it easier to set up Live Activities, widgets, Apple Health sharing, and notification delivery.
• POLISH THAT MATTERS
Drag and drop reordering works properly again on iOS 27, and your selected conditions show up ticked where they always should have. Your widgets and Live Activity now agree with your homepage about what's active, and follow the language you chose. Condition search is smarter, onboarding is smoother, and active trackers appear exactly when you expect them.
This is a big one. I hope 1.12 makes Trace feel faster, smarter, and more personal every time you check in.
