FINAL STRETCH On the last night before homecoming, a card offers to put the countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Date-driven, no pushes, gone on the day itself. THE BOARD IS ALREADY THERE Your board is on screen the moment you open the app, read from the device, before iCloud has said a word. Sync settles up behind it. No blank grid, no half-second of squares that were never yours. A true first load — fresh install, invite just accepted — says RECEIVING TRANSMISSION instead of faking a board. VAGUE MODE A Lock Screen is a public surface. Turn vague mode on and the widgets stop broadcasting the day count and the operation name to whoever glances at yours — SOON and board progress instead. Exact counts stay in the app. Per device. FINAL STRETCH is the exception by design, and turning vague mode on retires a running one. ALSO IN 1.3 • An archived operation offers to start the next one — name and year pre-filled, same iCloud share, no re-invite. • Two new square packs for the deployed side: MID-TOUR SLUMP and REINTEGRATION — the long middle, and the duffel still packed weeks later. • Separate switches for partner activity and milestones, plus quiet hours: a 0300 mark waits for morning. URGENT still gets through. • The VoiceOver rotor jumps to unmarked, urgent or unread squares, each with named actions — and it finally speaks French. • OPSEC mode scrubs dates from the journal, After-Action Report and Word export; day numbers stay. The AI story too — it used to let the operation name slip. • COMMS CHECK in Settings: sync state in plain language, and what is still waiting to go out. • The theme picker is a gallery now — nine miniature boards on their own screen, so you choose by what your card will look like. • The HQ Print Kit deals four pocket-size cards per page — cut guides, icons on every square, write-in name and date lines (laminate them), and a sharper pool. • F-O-Y-E-R columns in French, lighter photo uploads, a legible StandBy widget, wider Reduce Motion support, clearer marks for colour-blind readers.

HOMECOMING DAY, EVERYWHERE On the day itself, every theme — and the widget — now says HOMECOMING DAY instead of counting down to zero. The one day of the deployment most worth photographing finally looks like it. THE MENU BECAME A DOSSIER Numbered sections, your operations filed as stamped case files with their own day counters, and the OPERATION ORDER finally sealed the way it deserves. FOR THE DEPLOYED SIDE: BINGO WHERE PHONES CAN'T GO The HQ Print Kit. One pool of 24 meeting squares — hot mic, slide 47 of a 12-slide deck, a fresh task for LEGAD — dealt onto as many printable cards as the VTC has players. Same squares, different layout on every card, first line wins. Reword any square, keep separate named pools for separate meetings, and share the whole kit as a PDF. Devices stay in the lockers outside; the bingo doesn't. ALSO ON THIS ROTATION • Every modern theme's top bar now speaks its own dialect — Night Ops runs a terminal rail • Celebrations honour Reduce Motion without losing the moment • The campfire theme burns less battery • The CERTIFIED CHAOS stamp knows which side of the deployment you're on • Field-reported bug fixes throughout

1.1 — THE LONG HAUL COUNTDOWN TO HOMECOMING Set a return date and the day counter turns around: no longer Day 96, but 184 days to go. On the board, on your widget, on your lock screen. Kept off your share cards. FIVE OBJECTIVES, NOT ONE A line was never the whole story. Now there's the double line, four corners, the X, and the blackout — each one harder, each one celebrated harder, in the style of whichever theme you're wearing. THE DEPLOYMENT JOURNAL Every square you marked, every note, every photo, every message — assembled into a day-by-day record you never had to keep. Apple Intelligence can write the story of it in a comedy-drama voice that has no business being this good. Export it as a themed PDF or a Word document, or copy it and send it to whoever needs to read it. TERMS OF VICTORY Name a prize for each objective. One of you proposes, the other signs. Six months of holding everything together should be worth more than a nice dinner. Running this solo? Set them as personal rewards — signed, sealed, yours. MILESTONES THAT FIND YOU Day 100. Over the hump. One week out. Homecoming day. The moments that matter get a notification and a small ceremony instead of slipping past unremarked. PICK YOUR PACK Choose the squares your deployment deserves — Deep Freeze, Appliance Mutiny, Murphy's Law, Down Range and more — or let the app surprise you. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Woodland Night's embers rise like real firelight • Every theme's panels stay readable, not just the light ones • Sync errors now speak French, like the rest of the app • The homecoming date and the countdown reach both phones properly • Fixes throughout for boards, journals, and everything in between
