Version 2.4 is a visual release. Nothing about what the app records, stores, or shares has changed; what changed is what sits behind it. • A new backdrop. The brown brain illustration is gone. Every screen now sits on a deep indigo starfield with a faint halo of rings, in the same palette as the app icon. Cards, lists, and sheets were re-tinted to match; the gold accent and the four factor colours are unchanged, and body text still clears the same contrast bar it did before. • The backdrop shows everywhere again. On recent iOS 26 releases the brain had quietly stopped appearing behind the main tabs, leaving plain black behind Today, Journeys, Trends, Inner Work, Settings, and anything opened from them. 2.4 draws the backdrop on each of those screens directly. • The launch screen now matches the app, so opening it no longer flashes white on a light-mode device. • Reduce Transparency still swaps the art for a solid dark colour, so the translucent surfaces stay on an opaque base. No new permissions in this release, backup files remain compatible in both directions, and nothing stored changes shape. This app is a journal, not a therapist. If you are working with difficult material, please involve a qualified clinician.

Version 2.3 is about the app getting out of your way: asking before it starts something, showing where its numbers come from, and finally letting you remove things it used to keep forever. • The MEQ30 is offered, not assumed. Saving a new journey used to drop you straight into the questionnaire. It now asks whether you want to start it or come back to it later — and choosing later costs nothing, because the journey is already saved. You can take the MEQ30 whenever you're ready from the journey's own screen. • Filters on the Journeys tab fold away, so your journeys start at the top of the screen again. The Filters row opens when you want it and says how many filters are narrowing the list, so a closed row never hides one. • Missed check-ins no longer vanish. A commitment's check-in prompt used to leave no trace if you let it pass — the app simply forgot. Prompts that came and went now appear under "Check-ins due" on the Shadow Overview, and on the commitment itself. You can answer one late, or delete it and not be asked again. Because a missed prompt is now visible, it also breaks the quiet streak count; deleting it restores the streak. • Check-ins can be deleted. Open a commitment's check-in history from its Part profile and remove any of them — one recorded by mistake, or one you missed. Deleting a check-in also stops that prompt coming back. • Parts can be deleted. Previously a Part could only be retired or merged, never removed. A Part profile now offers Delete, and asks what should happen to the Shadow Encounters attributed to it: keep them in your journal without a Part attached, or delete them too. The confirmation says exactly how much goes. Commitments and check-ins on that Part always go with it, and any Part you had merged into it goes back to standing on its own with its own history intact. This cannot be undone. • Sources & citations (Settings → About) is now grouped by instrument — MEQ30, CEQ, further reading — and each group says what the app actually took from those papers: which items, which factor map, which scoring rule. • The CEQ now carries its own references. It links the published paper its 26 items, seven factors, response anchors, and scoring rule are taken from (Barrett et al. 2016), along with the survey of challenging experiences the questionnaire was derived from (Carbonaro et al. 2016). No new permissions in this release, and backup files remain compatible in both directions. This app is a journal, not a therapist. If you are working with difficult material, please involve a qualified clinician.

Version 1.1 This update brings a new way to capture reflections, smoother charts, and a more reliable, responsive experience. New • On-device voice memo transcription. Turn your spoken reflections into searchable text with nothing leaving your phone. Opt in anytime from Settings. • Interactive factor-trend charts. Pinch to zoom, scroll across sessions, and double-tap to reset the view. Improved • Faster, smoother performance. Saving entries, building exports, and cloud sync now run in the background, so the app stays responsive even with a large journal. • Steadier sync across your paired devices. • The calendar heatmap now renders your full journey history accurately. Reliability • If the app ever has trouble opening your encrypted journal, you now see a clear recovery screen with a retry option instead of a crash. • Added an erase-and-start-over recovery path on the locked-out screen. Privacy • Added Delete All Data in Settings so you can remove everything from your device whenever you choose. Your journeys stay encrypted on your device. Thank you for using the app.
