more Praise, progress and a fresh look
• Keep the Praise You Get: Save kind words from Slack, email, or a 1:1 as praise in the app, from the share sheet or with Siri. Praise gets its own section in your review packet.
• Your Month in Wins: In the first week of each month, see last month's wins, your best one and your top skill, ready to share.
• Reminders That Show Progress: Your weekly reminder shows the week's wins and the best one. Set your review date, and Tenure counts down at 30, 14, and 3 days, and points out goals that have gone quiet.
• Win of the Week: Put this week's best win on your Lock Screen with the Week in Review widget.
• Your Data, Portable: Back up every entry to a file you can import again, and bring in completed issues from a Jira or Linear export.
• A Fresh Look: Lit icons, calmer colors and smoother motion throughout, a deeper dark mode, and layouts that hold up at the largest text sizes.
3.9 Oct 17
Calmer, faster, and more yours
• A Calmer Look: A quieter background in light and dark mode, one heading style throughout, and layouts that hold up at every text size.
• Your Score, Treated Fairly: Logging a win no longer lowers your Career Score. Quick entries get 48 hours to gain detail, new goals count once you've had time to work on them, and the advice now points to what will move your score most.
• Quicker Logging: Start typing the moment you tap Log, swipe left on an entry to delete it (with Undo), and open past wins in their own editor.
• Your Data, Your Way: Export every entry as a CSV, free, any time, from Settings. Shared briefings and reports no longer carry a disclaimer under your own words, and Recently Deleted has clear Recover and Delete Forever buttons.
• A Gentler Start: No sample entry and no permission pop-ups before you've used the app. Reminders are offered after your first win, with a reason.
• Details That Matter: Metrics keep exactly the number you type, units appear in your language, tags keep their capitalization, and search shows why each result matched.
3.8 Oct 3
Sync that works, and speed that lasts
• Your Wins, on Every Device: iCloud sync now works end to end between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. And if sync ever stops, Tenure tells you why instead of failing quietly.
• Nothing Lost From Your Wrist: A win captured on Apple Watch now reaches your iPhone even if the app was closed or the connection dropped on the way.
• Fast at Five Thousand Wins: The timeline, search, and insights stay quick no matter how long your record gets.
• Refunds Without the Hunt: Ask Apple for a refund, or cancel your subscription, straight from Settings. If Tenure isn't for you, leaving should be as easy as joining.
• Polish, Everywhere: The export screen no longer clips on iPhone, dates read correctly in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, Arabic letters join as they should, and spacing is consistent across every screen.
Opening this version uploads the entries already on your device, so they appear on your other devices for the first time.
3.7 Sep 21
This release is about getting the details right.
• Saving a log no longer raises a false "Edited on Another Device" alert. Tapping Done just saves.
• Settings now tell you when you're not signed in to iCloud, instead of claiming sync is on.
• Importing a CSV keeps the impact scores and dates you wrote, and understands more date formats.
• If GitHub or GitLab rejects your token, the form comes back so you can correct it — instead of leaving you looking connected with a token that doesn't work.
• A careful pass over French, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Japanese and Chinese: spacing, quotation marks and the right level of formality. Siri now recognises as many ways of asking in every language as it does in English.
• Streak messages in weekly mode no longer say "days" when they're counting weeks.
• Smaller fixes: the Monday "Week Ahead" card no longer appears empty, a brand-new entry no longer offers a Delete button, and onboarding keeps Skip available throughout.
3.6 Sep 2
Import from GitLab
Merged merge requests become wins, the same way GitHub already works. Paste a read-only token, and Tenure talks to GitLab directly from your device. Your token stays in the Keychain, and nothing passes through a server of ours because there isn't one.
Your company's GitLab, too
Running GitLab on your own server? Enter its address once, and Tenure imports from there instead of gitlab.com.
One place for Git
GitHub and GitLab now sit together under Import from Git in Settings. Switch between them with a tap; each keeps its own connection.
Fixed: the Progress tab
If Progress was slow to open, or left the app unresponsive when you tried, that is fixed. Tenure was saving to iCloud while drawing the screen, which could stall everything until you force-quit. It opens straight away now.
A fresh look
A redesigned app icon with real depth, a new launch screen for light and dark, and a rebuilt privacy screen — when Tenure sits in the app switcher, it now tells you your entries are hidden, rather than showing a blank page.
Also fixed
Imported entries can no longer be dated in the future, so a mistyped date in a CSV can't quietly inflate your weekly counts or your review packet. German and Dutch now use one consistent form of address throughout the app.

What's New in 3.3
Your 1:1 Briefing is here
Pick any window of your timeline and Tenure groups it into key impact and operational updates, ready to share with your manager. Find it in Prepare, under "Before your next 1:1".
Also new
• Paste a win, turn text on your clipboard into an entry, straight from the Timeline toolbar
• Import merged pull requests from GitHub, now easier to find, with a clear connected status
• Compact dashboard density now condenses your shortcuts into a single row
Privacy
Entries you had marked private could appear in some shared output. LinkedIn posts, manager emails, weekly reflections, review self-assessments, accountability partner updates and your Career Story. They no longer do. Turning on the app lock now also clears entry details from device search immediately, rather than waiting for the next launch. Tenure no longer reads your clipboard when you switch back to the app.
Fixed
• Apple Watch now receives your stats
• Restoring from Recently Deleted no longer loses entries
• Streaks, XP, quests, badges and leagues now update as you log
• CSV files saved on Windows now import correctly
• Entry titles can no longer break the layout of an exported document
• Deleting all data now also clears pending captures and your GitHub token
Every language, everywhere
Onboarding, People and a number of other screens were still showing English outside of English. All sixteen languages are now complete.
Easier to read and tap
Small labels grow with your text size setting, buttons that are unavailable now look it, and tap targets across the app are bigger.
