You can now log the animals you meet outside. Open the Encounters tab, tap the plus, and note who you saw, where, and when. Add a photo from your camera or library if you like. The photo is trimmed and cleaned before it is kept, so nothing about your phone or your location rides along with it. The place is only ever the words you type. Any encounter, drawn or seen, can become a field card. It carries the animal, its symbolism, the day, your place, its conservation status, and the group working to protect it. Share it, save it, or keep it to yourself. A small Field Companion widget holds your most recent encounter on the home screen, and shows the Guide of the Day until you have one. Notes on past draws can be edited now. The tab that was called My Draws is called Encounters. Everything stays on your device, as before. A portion of every Gratitude Jar still supports CASA Pinellas.

Twenty five new animals have joined the deck! A wolverine that crosses mountain ranges in winter because going around would take longer. An axolotl that never finishes becoming an adult and is a whole animal anyway. A nautilus that seals every room it outgrows and lets those rooms carry it upward. A musk ox that turns its horns outward and holds the circle. Twenty one more beside them. Each one arrived the way the first hundred did. Its own oracle text, its own natural history checked by hand, its own conservation partner with a working link. The Field Guide holds one hundred and twenty five now. A portion of every Gratitude Jar still supports CASA Pinellas, a domestic violence shelter that welcomes survivors and their animals together, so no one has to choose between their own safety and the companions who kept them safe.

Every guide now opens up about life in the wild. Open any animal to find where it roams, what it eats, who it is kin to, and how it fares in the world today. One hundred animals, each one fact-checked. A portion of every Gratitude Jar still supports CASA Pinellas, a domestic violence shelter that welcomes survivors and their animals together, so no one has to choose between their own safety and the companions who kept them safe.

The animals have been whispering. Each guide now fills the full card so nothing hides at the edges. The button to keep your guide says exactly what it means: "Keep this guide today." The daily draw also grew wiser. A guide you keep becomes yours, and it won't be offered to you again, so each kept animal stays a guide you truly chose. The ones you set aside can still find you another day. Your Field Guide now holds only the animals you have selected, your own quiet gathering rather than every face you have glanced at. Once you have chosen and collected all 100, the familiar ones return with new eyes. A portion of every (completely optional) Gratitude Jar still supports CASA Pinellas, a domestic violence shelter that welcomes survivors and their animals together, so no one has to choose between their own safety and the companions who kept them safe. --Drew aka SillyDroose

A few small fixes the animals filed complaints about. Animal sounds now play even when your phone is on silent. The wolf was hoarse. Tap back and the sound stops too. The owl thanked us. Field Guide revisits now honor what is already in your guide. When you open an animal you have already met, the card remembers when the two of you already crossed paths. In Settings, Gratitude Jars now make it clearer why CASA Pinellas fits an animal app. The donations ledger link is tappable.

The Gratitude Jar grew up. The little flowers that used to mark each tip have given way to a feather, a paw print, a deer, and a bird who showed up because the tulips left and someone has to keep watch over the meadow. The wolf approves. The salmon was nonchalant about the whole thing. Same wolves, same sloths, same one guide a day quietness. The animals just felt strongly about the icons.

The CASA Pinellas section now opens its full name out loud: Community Action Stops Abuse, the Pinellas County, Florida domestic violence center that welcomes companion animals so survivors never have to choose between safety and the ones who kept them safe. The Gratitude Jar carries new transparency too. Tap the new Donation Receipts row in Settings and you go straight to a public ledger that names what Apple's cut and our running costs come out to, what is left for CASA, and which tip becomes the every tenth tip that sends the whole remainder. Same wolves, same sloths, same salmon. A clearer trail back to the real animals at the other end.

Your home screen had been calling us "AnimalGuideOra..." with no spaces, like we were one long awkward creature. Turns out iOS was quietly eating the spaces out of our name. We found a better kind of space to feed it. Now we stand on your home screen the way we were meant to: Animal Guide Oracle, spaces intact, wild and readable.

We safely relocated some bugs to a better habitat. A few stung us on the way out. We suspect this was their way of saying thanks. Also: the Field Guide now refreshes the moment you draw a new guide. And the card detail scrolls all the way down, which is how scrolling was always supposed to work. Oops. My bad.
