Daybreak is ready for iPhone Duo. Also in this update: stat tiles keep their numbers on one line on narrower screens, the completion ceremony sits in a readable column on iPad, holding a reflection lifts the card with its own rounded corners, and the Palette row in Settings opens from anywhere along the row.

Small behind-the-scenes improvements. Everything works just as it did.

Small fixes and a little polish

Apple Health now counts your minutes. A workout task with a duration fills as the day's exercise adds up, and completes only once you've reached it — a short walk no longer stands in for a full session. New challenges start their workout tasks with a 45-minute goal, and a tap on the home-screen widget marks a task done the same way the app does.

A steadiness update. Every screen — the calendar, your stats, the widget, even exports — now reads from the same authoritative copy of each day, so a task you log always shows up everywhere at once. Small in appearance, sturdy underneath.

A small, sturdy update for your data's peace of mind. If a sync hiccup ever disconnects a brand-new challenge's tasks, Daybreak now reconnects them on its own — even before you've checked anything off. And leftover odds and ends from old sync interruptions quietly tidy themselves away, while every real day you've logged stays exactly where it belongs.

Daybreak now speaks fluently to everyone. Every screen follows your preferred text size, reads clearly with VoiceOver, honors Reduce Motion, and stays legible in the small places that matter. Also in this update: tasks checked off from the widget land on the day you actually did them, syncing is steadier from the very first launch, and starting a fresh challenge now stays perfectly in step across all your devices.

Syncing between your devices is dependable again. Daybreak now double-checks that every day, task, and photo is connected to the challenge it belongs to — and reconnects anything a sync hiccup left adrift. Your history is safe, and nothing about your challenge changes.

A maintenance update. Nothing has changed in your challenge — it's exactly where you left it.

When a buddy invite can't be created, Daybreak now tells you why and what will help.

A little housekeeping under the hood. Nothing about your day changes — your tasks, streaks, and photos are all just as you left them.

A few quiet improvements, shaped by your feedback. Once you've checked a task off for the day, its reminders rest until tomorrow — no more nudges for something you've already done. Your Today photo card now opens on the photo you've set as your primary. And you can look back through finished challenges one day at a time — the tasks, the photos, and the reflections you wrote along the way are all still here.

A polish + correctness release. • Today's photos are swipable. When there's more than one for the day, swipe across the photo card to flip through. Take a fresh one and it lands at the front automatically. • Tap a day on the Stats calendar and that day's photos show up alongside the task list. • Photo comparison can pair any two photos now, not just the first and last day — the picker keeps them in Before → After order regardless of tap order. The slider also fits portrait shots properly. • Save a progress photo to your Camera Roll. Open any photo and tap "Save to Photos" to keep a copy outside Daybreak. • Dark mode is more readable across every palette — buddy stats, Today's-tasks pills, the completion ring, the deeper analytics cards, and a few smaller spots that were quietly cream-on-cream. • Small fixes: tapping a buddy on the Connect rail scrolls to their row again, the buddy encouragement timer survives a backward clock change, and Apple Health authorization is detected correctly when you first opt in.

A redesigned Connect, a wider circle of friends, and four bolder themes to match how your mornings feel. What's new: • A redesigned Connect tab. Your buddies list opens compact now — name, day count, today's percent, and a small status mark for who's on a streak, who's finished today, or just getting started. A today's-activities rail at the top shows everyone at a glance; tap an avatar to expand their detail. Sort by name, today's progress, streak, or who's been active most recently. • Connect with up to ten friends. The buddies cap rises from five to ten. Send a friendly wave to your whole circle with one tap — anyone on cooldown is gracefully skipped. • Encouragements every six hours, not twelve. Twice the chance to lift a friend's day. • Four new Pro themes. Slate (charcoal and steel-blue), Carbon (true black with a safety-orange edge), Iron (gunmetal warmed with bronze), and Storm (navy with a sharp red) - bolder palettes beyond Dawn, Dusk, Forest, and Ember. Your home-screen widget mirrors your selected palette now too. • Today, at a glance. The day count on the Today screen is wrapped in a thin progress ring filled to today's task-completion percentage. A small percent reads softly under the day number. • Tap-to-read on charts. The completion-trend, weekday, and body-measurement charts respond to a swipe, Apple Health style — the exact value at any day or date follows your finger. • Buddy cheers actually arrive. We tightened up notification delivery so the encouragements your friends send reach your lock screen reliably. The in-app banner names every sender now — "Alex and Jordan cheered you on" — instead of an anonymous count. • Quieter task reminders. Reminders carry the task name now, instead of a brand tagline. Cleaner on the lock screen.

A quieter, warmer Connect. This release is mostly about the friends you walk with — how you see them, how they see you. What's new • Set the name buddies see for you, at the top of Connect. • Give your buddies local nicknames and profile photos — just for your view. • A small celebration after you accept an invite: "You're walking together now." • See and cancel pending invites from a single place. • A soft prompt to allow notifications, so you don't miss a friend's encouragement. • Pull down on Connect to pick up updates anytime. Fixes • Buddies stuck as "Buddy" now heal to their real name automatically. • In-app encouragements arrive as a real banner instead of a silent badge. • If a buddy stops sharing, you'll see a soft note and they're removed from your list. • Friendlier messages when an invite can't go through.

Buddy invites now connect both sides reliably. Tapping a buddy invite from Messages — even when Daybreak isn't running — pairs the two of you and you'll both see each other in the Connect tab within a few seconds.

Fixes a critical bug where buddy invites cannot be accepted by recipients on the latest version of the app, blocking the entire buddy/social feature. One-line Info.plist fix; no schema or feature changes.

Track your body. Log weight, body fat, waist, chest, hips, arms, and thighs. See trend charts in the Stats tab — 30 days, your current challenge, or all time. Read and write weight, body fat, and waist with Apple Health when you opt in. (Pro) More room for your photos. Take more than one progress photo a day on Today. Multiple shots stack into a quiet preview, newest in front. Built-in cropping for everything you capture or pick. (Multi-photo is Pro.) A smarter widget. The medium home-screen widget now shows your top three tasks. Tap a circle to mark it done — no app launch, no detour. New circular, rectangular, and inline lock-screen accessories. Spread reminders. For tasks like drinking water, opt in to four reminders across the day instead of just one. Capped at three tasks at a time so it stays gentle. A few quieter improvements: • Type the challenge length directly when building a custom one • Universal keyboard dismiss anywhere there's text input • Photo cadence picker is clearer about what each option does • Onboarding hero refresh: "75 days. Today is a new you." • Wider device support — Daybreak now runs on iOS 17, so iPhone XS and iPhone SE (2nd gen) are welcome Today is the start of a new you.

Fixes a sync issue where opening daybreak on a new device could replace your existing challenge before iCloud finished restoring your data. • Your data now waits for iCloud to fully restore before showing the empty state on a new device. • Starting a fresh challenge no longer retires a challenge synced from another device. • If you've lost a challenge to this issue, your data is still there — open Settings → Past challenges, tap the affected challenge, and choose "Restore as active challenge" to bring it back.
