Maintenance. No changes to how the app works — this release fixes internal reporting so we can tell whether the review prompt is reaching anyone, and updates how Heathen is described on the App Store.

The timer now shows a lotus that opens as your session goes on — a closed bud when you start, fully open when you finish. - Fixed a stutter where one reading could briefly play over the next. - Fixed a bug that could stall the session countdown. - Smoothed the loading animation, which skipped a beat between drips.

Freeze tokens you can restock, before you need them. - Restock from your profile at any time. You no longer have to wait until a streak has already broken to top up. - If you open Pro from a broken streak, you can now buy a Freeze Pack instead: five tokens, one payment, no subscription. Missing a day was never a moral failing. These just make it easier to pick the practice back up.

Freeze tokens you can restock, and a smaller ask at the end of a session. - Freeze Packs are now available: five tokens in one purchase, for repairing a streak when life gets in the way. No subscription required. - After your 3rd, 10th, and 50th sessions, the app may ask what you think of it. Three times at most, always after a session rather than during one. We read every piece of feedback.

A fix for the daily reminder, which had picked up a habit of repeating itself. - Your daily reminder now brings a different quote each day. It had been scheduling one quote and replaying that same one indefinitely — so a Jane Goodall line on Tuesday was a Jane Goodall line every day after that. - The quote on your Today screen now holds steady through the day and turns over at midnight, rather than changing each time you opened the app. - Reminders for your routines vary their wording again instead of settling on one phrase. We read every piece of feedback.

Motion that settles rather than shouts, and a smoother first run. - New onboarding visuals: a quiet field of stars, and stones that stack and balance — motion in the same calm register as the rest of Heathen. - Reduced Motion is now respected everywhere. Turn it on in iOS Settings and animations become gentle fades instead of movement. - Entrances across the app — your day, the session list, your profile and history — now settle in with a lighter, more consistent touch. - You can redeem an offer code from the subscription screen. We read every piece of feedback.

A rebuilt first run, and one palette across the whole app. - Onboarding now looks like the rest of Heathen — the same quiet palette and typography, instead of a separate splash of colour. - It also asks one question: what brings you here? Your answer picks the session you start with, so your first sit is one you actually wanted. - You begin with a real meditation rather than a tour. The offer to subscribe waits until after you've tried the thing. - Reminders are opt-in, asked once, after your first session — framed around the practice you said you wanted, not thrown at you on launch. - Session categories, achievements, moods and soundscapes now draw from one set of muted sage, slate, stone and clay tones, instead of bright accents left over from an earlier design. - Fixed: on lighter session colours, white button labels were hard to read. Labels now pick their own contrast. - Fixed: the app no longer re-opens your first session on every launch, and the completion screen can no longer slip past the reminder prompt. We read every piece of feedback.

This update sharpens the experience and fixes what was rough. - A clearer first-run: a short introduction to what Heathen is (and isn't) before you begin. - Steadier purchases and restores — buying or restoring Heathen Pro now handles a flaky connection gracefully, and tells you plainly when the store is unreachable rather than failing in silence. - Streaks that behave: fixed an edge case around daylight-saving time and streak recovery so your practice count stays honest. - A calmer meditation timer that reliably releases audio and keeps your screen awake only while a session is running. - Removed a half-finished Apple Health integration that never actually recorded anything. It'll return properly in a future update. - Accuracy and polish throughout. We read every piece of feedback.
