What's new in 2.4: • A faster, more honest start — onboarding now gets you to Today sooner. Body details, Apple Health, notifications, and location stay optional, and a new account starts truly empty: no invented activity, streaks, or progress. • Everyday care, one tap away — log your mood, symptoms, water, or a reflection from the first Today screen. Optional setup stays visible without pushing your real wellness guidance out of view. • Guidance that fits your life stage — Explore, Today, forecasts, reminders, and cycle tools now withhold mismatched recommendations. When Hera does not have enough real data, it says so instead of filling the gap with a guess. • A clearer AI choice — limited mode and cloud-powered coaching are explained before you enter them, so you decide when AI features can use the context you share. • Safer privacy and wellbeing flows — account deletion waits for server confirmation, support resources adapt to your region, and the postpartum wellbeing reflection no longer reduces how you feel to a score. • Easier reading and navigation — improved large-text layouts, more reliable deep links and tabs, cleaner milestones, and more varied daily learning for users who have not personalized Hera yet. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 2.3: • Cycle Focus — a calmer home. If you're here mainly for your period, Today can now show just the essentials: your cycle, your calendar, and quick logging. Everything else stays one tab away, and you can switch it on or off anytime in Profile → Customize Today. • A heads-up before it hits — Today now surfaces what your own patterns suggest is coming in the next few days, like cramps, low energy, or a rough night's sleep, along with something you can do about it. • Log from your Lock Screen — reminders now carry buttons. Tap your mood, a glass of water, or "Period started" straight from the notification, without opening the app. • Mood on your Home Screen — the Hera widget now logs how you feel in one tap, alongside water and period. • Hera Wrapped — Your Cycle Season in Review. A story-style recap of your streak, how accurate your predictions have become, and the strongest pattern Hera has found in your data. Every slide is shareable. • Share what you're proud of — turn your prediction accuracy, your current phase, or an earned achievement into a beautiful card. Only what's on the card ever leaves your device. • Invite friends — share your invite code from Settings. When a friend redeems it, they start with a welcome bonus. • A more honest calendar — when your period is late, Hera no longer draws a predicted fertile window it can't stand behind. It tells you it's waiting on you instead. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 2.2: • Log your period right from your Apple Watch — one tap on your wrist, with an optional flow level. It syncs straight to your cycle and to Apple Health. • See your cycle in your body — a new Lab view shows how your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate shift across each phase (like "you sleep less in late luteal"). Patterns from your own data, never guesses. • A more polished Coach — replies are cleanly formatted and follow along as they arrive, your daily chat count is always visible, and support resources stay one tap away when you need them. • Now fully in Spanish and Polish — every feature speaks your language. • Home Screen, Control Center, and Lock Screen fixes — logging a glass or your period from a widget now reliably reaches the app, and the cycle Live Activity works. • Dozens of accuracy and reliability fixes across cycle logging, fertility signals, notifications, and health trends. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 2.1: • Weekly goals that remember — watch your Sleep, Water, and Steps progress build across the week, with a streak that one missed day won't wipe out. • Log from anywhere — add water or your period from a Home Screen widget or Control Center, or just say "Hey Siri, log my period." Your period and water now sync with Apple Health. • A more capable, more caring Coach — it now understands the conditions you've shared and remembers plans you've saved, its answers are better grounded in Hera's cited library, and in hard moments it surfaces real support resources. • More for trying to conceive — log cervical mucus, see your best days this cycle, and confirm ovulation from your own temperature. Always shown with honest confidence, never as contraception. • For your conditions — more reliable PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and thyroid guidance, plus deeper postpartum support, in English, Spanish, and Polish. • Gentler reminders — no more notification pile-ups, week-by-week pregnancy milestones, and nudges timed to when you actually open Hera. • Plus a Lock Screen cycle Live Activity, new body-signal trends, and dozens of refinements. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 2.0: • Your Apple Watch now reads your body — overnight wrist temperature, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability, right on your wrist each morning. It works on its own, even without your phone nearby. • Fertility on your wrist — your fertile window and temperature-confirmed ovulation (always shown with its confidence) appear on your watch glance, matched to your real cycle. For trying-to-conceive support, never a contraceptive method. • A smarter watch face — your complication now shows tomorrow's forecast and rises in your Smart Stack exactly when your period or fertile window is near. Tap it to jump straight into Hera. • A more honest Today — a late period now says so plainly instead of "expected today" forever, cycle views step aside when they don't apply to your life stage, and every phase insight is grounded in your own data — no invented measurements. Plus stronger contrast, a cleaner layout, and dozens of refinements. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.9 — our biggest update yet: • Hera on your wrist — a full Apple Watch app: your cycle day, phase, and next-period countdown at a glance, quick-log water, mood, and symptoms from your watch, and complications for your watch face. • Honest predictions — instead of pretending to know the exact day, Hera now predicts from your real cycle variation: "Period likely Jul 18–21." Tight cycles keep the precise date; varying cycles get a truthful window. Built for real bodies, including irregular ones. • 72 trackable symptoms — 19 new ones, including urinary and vaginal symptoms most apps skip. And symptoms now sync both ways with Apple Health's Cycle Tracking. • Temperature says ovulation happened — if you wear Apple Watch to sleep or log morning BBT, Hera detects the classic temperature shift and estimates when you ovulated. Retrospective and honest — a rear-view mirror, not a crystal ball. • Contraception reminders — pill times, patch days, ring weeks, IUD check dates. Set it once, get gentle nudges. • Tell Hera your conditions — PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, thyroid. Your coach factors them into every answer, and content matches your reality. Never a diagnosis — always your clinician's job. • Your Cycle Report — how accurate Hera's predictions have actually been for you, your trends and patterns, a doctor-ready PDF, and a summary you can share with someone you trust. • Your Data, Plainly — a plain-language map of what Hera stores and where, plus our pledge: what's free stays free. Usage counters are disclosed and have an off switch. • Three new courses — Understanding Perimenopause, TTC Foundations, and The Fourth Trimester, with lessons and knowledge checks. • A fresh look — a soft lavender light mode, richer iPad layouts, adjustable text size, and accessibility improvements throughout. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.8: • Your forecast, from the first minute — onboarding is now half the length, and the moment you enter your last period date, Hera shows your next period and phase calendar right there. No setup marathon before the app starts working for you. • Already using Hera? One quick question — if you set up Hera before this update, a single short screen lets you add your cycle so predictions, the phase calendar, and stage-specific tools come alive. Your logged data is kept, always. • Every log talks back — log a symptom, mood, water, or your period and Hera responds instantly with what it means: an updated prediction, a pattern it recognized ("Cramps in your luteal phase — 3rd cycle in a row"), or a milestone reached. Only ever real insights from your data, never filler. • Prediction milestones — when Hera learns your true cycle length from what you've logged, it tells you: "Your cycle is yours: 31 days." Predictions grounded in your body, not a textbook average. • Today's 3 — a fresh, hand-sized selection of reads, glossary terms, and lessons matched to your cycle day, rotating every day on Today and in Explore. • Gentle check-ins — if you've been away a couple of days, Hera can send one kind nudge (and a second after a week). Easy to switch off, never guilt-tripping. Plus your logging streak now lives at the top of Today. • Also: the cycle forecast notification finally has its own switch in Settings, VoiceOver now works throughout onboarding, and dozens of refinements across Spanish and Polish. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.7: • Predictions tuned to your cycle — Hera now learns your actual cycle length and period duration from what you log, instead of assuming a textbook 28 days. The phase calendar, countdown, and daily guidance all follow your personal pattern — especially meaningful if your cycles are irregular. • Widgets are here — see your cycle day, phase, and wellness score at a glance on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with a countdown to your next period. • Pregnancy tools, live — the kick counter and contraction timer now run as Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can keep counting without keeping the app open. • Courses — a new Learning Hub in Explore with structured lessons and quick knowledge checks, from wellness foundations to energy and timing. • Wellness glossary — browse and search plain-language definitions for the terms that matter. When your coach cites an article, tap the citation to read the full piece. • Your saved library — everything you save now lives in one place, with favorites, and you can finally save articles too. Plus a new search across all of Explore. • Siri and Shortcuts — log a glass of water, a symptom, or your mood by voice, without opening the app. • Make Today yours — Customize Today now controls exactly which sections appear, and a new "Today's one thing" line points to the single thing most worth your attention. • Goals that connect — set your sleep, steps, water, and mindfulness targets once, and see real weekly progress against them on your Profile. • You're in control of the AI — a new screen shows everything your coach remembers about you (delete anything, or everything), and AI consent can now be reviewed and changed anytime in Settings. • Also: three new trackable symptoms (libido changes, vaginal dryness, melasma), Reduce Transparency support, contrast improvements throughout, and expanded Spanish and Polish translations. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.6: • iPad, redesigned — Hera now feels like a real iPad app. A persistent sidebar replaces the floating tab bar on iPad, the detail column adapts so goals, sleep, and the article reader use the room they have, and the coach view gets a dedicated picker rail so switching between Sage, Luna, Aria, Nora, and Nova is one tap. • Your tomorrow, predicted — a new card on Today shows what your body is likely to feel tomorrow — energy, mood, and a short reason ("Based on sleep deficit (5.4h avg)" or your current phase). Tap to log how it actually went; Hera learns from the comparison. • Coach knows your HRT — if you've logged a hormone therapy regimen in Profile (type, route, start date, dose notes), Sage and the other coaches factor it into every reply. Ask about hot flashes, sleep, or mood and the answer accounts for what you're actually taking. • Spanish and Polish library expanded — 10 more legacy articles now ship in español and polski (24 of the 52 originals total). New coverage: irregular periods, cortisol and chronic stress, thyroid and your cycle, estrogen dominance, menopause and heart health, bone health after 50, and a full pregnancy set (first trimester, nutrition by trimester, prenatal vitamins, exercise during pregnancy). • Quieter under the hood — phase guides for regular cycles now ship alongside the irregular/TTC/perimenopause sets, the "Grounded in" coach footer has a 40-term glossary to cite from in all three languages, and a large core file was split into focused modules so future updates land faster. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.5: • Coach replies now show their sources — when a coach grounds an answer in Hera's own glossary or phase-guide content, you'll see a "Grounded in" footer with the exact references under the message. Same kind of trust signal you already see in the Discover article reader. • More Spanish and Polish — five of our most-read articles (the four phases of your cycle, iron deficiency in women, cycle-synced workouts, an 8-sign perimenopause checklist, and an evidence-based supplements guide) now read natively in español and polski instead of falling back to English. • Proactive coach nudges (opt-in) — turn on in Settings → Notifications → Re-engagement and one of your coaches will reach out when sleep, mood, or cycle data shifts. Max 1 per day, off by default. Sage, Luna, Aria, Nora, or Nova — whoever fits the moment. • Quieter under the hood — automated tests now run on every commit, dropped a legacy backend table that wasn't being read, and tightened the article catalog cleanup so Discover loads faster. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.4: • Discover, personalized for you — Hera now reads your life stage and age to surface articles that actually fit your moment, not a generic mix. A small toggle lets you turn personalization off any time. • Editorial trust signals — every article carries an author byline, a last-reviewed date, a plain-language summary at the top, and a sources box with citations from ACOG, NAMS, IOF, NIH, WHO, AASM, and the rest of the public-health bodies the content rests on. • New articles for underserved moments — five long-form, deeply-edited pieces for cohorts that needed Hera most: perimenopause, postmenopause bone health, postmenopause sleep, pregnancy loss, and surgical menopause. Each shipped in English, Spanish, and Polish at the same time. • Bigger Discover library — Hera's wellness article library is now 67 deeply-edited pieces, structured by life stage and age so you can find what fits. • Wellness, not medical — every screen that surfaces a body signal now points at a calm wellness reading of it, with explicit "talk with your provider" framing where it matters. Thank you for using Hera.

What's new in 1.3: • Stage-specific guidance — irregular cycles, trying to conceive, perimenopause, and postpartum each get their own phase-by-phase support. The cycle calendar adapts to where you are, not where the textbook expects you to be. • Smarter coaches — Sage, Luna, Aria, Nora, and Nova now carry your phase, life stage, and recent signals into every reply, draw from a shared library of wellness sources, and remember the thread of your earlier conversations. • Regenerate and refine — every coach-made plan or reading can be re-rolled with an optional edit note ("more strength work", "less dairy") to land the version you actually want. • Pregnancy + postpartum tracking — gestational week, weekly check-ins, kick session baseline, and a postpartum recovery log that pauses the cycle predictor while you're breastfeeding. • Mood across body and mind — separate body and mind tags on the daily check-in, so you can mark "energized but anxious" without forcing one feeling into the other. • Edit your life-stage dates — last period, due date, postpartum start, perimenopause onset. The single source of truth your cycle, fertility, and wellness signals all draw from. • Full Spanish + Polish coverage — hundreds of new translations across the new flows, including the wellness-source citations behind the guidance. • Wellness, not medical — every screen that surfaces a body signal now carries a calm reminder that Hera is supportive guidance, not a diagnosis or a medical device. • Quieter paywall — premium subscribers see plan tiles instead of credits, and the credit store hides packs when they're not relevant. Thank you for using Hera.
