• No shiny new features this time. This is a housekeeping release — brooms, screwdrivers, the works. • Everything under the hood got a once-over so future updates land smoothly. • If you notice absolutely nothing different, that's a ten out of ten from us.

A little polish and behind-the-scenes improvements.

A small tidy-up this time: • Squashed a bug where the timer would sulk in the corner when nobody was earning. It's cheerful again. • Gave things a gentle speed polish, so the app wakes up a touch quicker. • Tightened a few wobbly pixels nobody asked about but everyone deserves. Thank you for using Minua.

• Fixed the one that mattered: if your child spent their balance down to zero and then earned more time, the new minutes weren't being counted while they played. They are now. Sorry, parents. • Buying the app no longer politely switched enforcement off until you happened to re-save your settings. Paying customers deserve working locks — bold stance, we know. • If Screen Time permission gets turned off, Minua now shows a big "Protection is off" warning instead of nodding along and pretending everything is fine. • The home screen balance now refreshes when you come back to the app, instead of proudly displaying old news. • New app icon. The old one was so tastefully subtle it was effectively invisible. You can actually see this one.

A few fixes we're a little embarrassed about: • Earned time used to quietly stop counting after about 20 minutes of learning. It now counts all day, like it always promised. • The daily balance sometimes forgot to reset at midnight, so yesterday's leftover minutes snuck into today. Midnight now means midnight. • Changing the learn-to-play ratio or allowed hours updates the balance right away, instead of waiting for the next app to open. • Quiet under-the-hood tidying so the numbers always add up. Thanks for keeping us honest.

Minua now speaks your language. The whole app — every label, every setting, every gentle nudge — is now available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Hindi. There is also a new Language setting, in case you would rather choose for yourself than let your phone decide. Nothing else changed. Your minutes are still yours, and they still stay entirely on your device.

What's new in 1.0.6 • Search-listing tidy: the keyword field used to lead with "screen time" — which is also in the subtitle, which the App Store dedupes, which means we were paying rent on the same word twice. Now it leads with "earn screen time" (the actual mechanic) plus the long-tail phrases parents really type. No change inside the app.

What's new in 1.0.5 • Added a calm review prompt that shows up after the parent has set things up and the system has been running for a few days. No prompt during onboarding. No prompt twice in the same month. The same restraint we apply to nudges.

Quietly improved how the rewards add up. Small humans may demand a recount. Lock screens a touch friendlier. Reward screens a touch more triumphant. Parents still in charge.

Tightened the locks, sweetened the rewards. Your eight-year-old's loophole-hunting is no match for v1.0.3. We tested. They tried. They lost.
