Exercise pages now show real photos first, with the illustrated muscle view one tap away. We fixed drawing and alignment errors in many exercise illustrations, and the exercise page now fits iPad, large text and dark mode better.

Anneal 2.2 adds more ways to train and a calmer start. Long-press Add set to log a drop set, myorep or partial reps; they stay in your history and never change your next weight, and Hevy drop sets now import as drop sets. In the program builder, Vary reps over time lets a lift go lighter to heavier, heavier to lighter, or undulate. Muscle detail now shows your weekly sets and which lifts counted. New lifters get a short first workout for their equipment, and the first sessions hide the jargon. Apple Watch: readable colors, a complication that now gets its data, and a Done button that stays in view on small watches. Also larger-text and contrast fixes, illustrated exercise demos, and a clearer paywall.

Anneal 2.1 is redesigned for iPad. A sidebar keeps Workout, Progress, Body, Forge and You one tap away, and each section now uses the big screen in two columns: today's session beside your week, the recovery map beside the exact numbers, your progress beside your recent bests. History and Settings show the list and the detail side by side, and lists and forms keep a comfortable reading width. With a keyboard, Command 1 to 5 switches sections, Command Y opens History, and Command comma opens Settings. On iPhone, everything works as before.

A small update that refreshes how Anneal looks on the App Store. In case you missed them: the Body tab's recovery map shows which muscles are still sore, and a five-second check-in after a session lets you confirm or correct it, so Anneal learns how fast you recover.

Anneal 2.0 is our biggest update yet. Lifts you add to any workout now progress too. Rate a set's effort and the remaining sets adjust. Build your own program, or save a workout as a routine. Going away? Away mode keeps your streak and Trials fair and quiets notifications, and coming back after a break now ramps your weights in, as it always should have. Plus a weekly engine changelog, reps and weight on Apple Watch, Siri shortcuts, and a new Progress tab. With Pro, rough readiness days reshape the session and an 8-week forecast shows where each lift is headed. New installs get 14 days of full access.

Switching apps? Anneal now imports your history from Hevy and Fitbod as well as Strong: Settings > Data > Import CSV, or the new prompt on the You tab. PR share cards now show your estimated 1RM curve and the rule that moved the weight. The Pro screen leads with your own progress and names the exact date of any first charge. New optional progress recaps on day 18 and day 20 of full access, and a Rate Anneal link in Settings > About.

Refreshed App Store screenshots. No changes to the app itself.

Three weeks of full access for everyone. Every new install now starts with 21 days of every Pro feature unlocked, free, before the app ever shows a paywall. Updating from an earlier version? Your three weeks start now too. Also in this update: - Signing in is now available on every plan. Cloud backup remains part of Pro. - On low-readiness days, the readiness card now shows what auto-regulation would adjust. - Small fixes and copy improvements.

Trials are here. Five fixed arcs from a 28 day starter to two 75 day challenges, judged weekly with rest days counting; one tougher arc is judged daily, by choice. Optional vows add reading, a water target you set, and a weekly photo that stays on your device. Nothing ever resets to day one, and every finish earns a chest. Find Trials on the You tab.

Added illustrated, animated exercise guides for dozens of exercises across strength training -- replacing static stock photos with custom artwork that matches your body-map preference and shows the full movement, not just a single pose. No functional changes in this release.

More custom artwork and a couple of small motion touches: illustrated achievement icons, an illustrated empty state for workout history, and the weekly ring and badge case now animate when they update instead of snapping instantly. No functional changes in this release.

Custom artwork throughout, replacing generic system icons: a launch screen, illustrated badges, home-gym art for profiles without a photo, and a redesigned Pro screen. No functional changes in this release.
