hi, it's the weirdos. the shield learned to count. statistics has a new card, shield on the round. it shows how many times in 7 and 30 days the shield brought you back to the task, the minutes you spent in shielded rounds and the app it stopped most often. the card comes with plus. we don't doomscroll ourselves, we have paws

hi, it's the weirdos. the home screen got personal. the main task starts a round in one tap and rides on the timer as a seed. under the button: the time the round ends if it starts now. a bison task with no steps offers a 2-minute step. after a couple of days without rounds, the focus button suggests just five minutes. the companion talks about real rounds, the meadow keeps this week's sprouts, and the course picks a lesson for the tasks on the list. the garden has a build mode: done tasks and habit days earn logs and stones for paths, fences and benches. lanterns, a pond and a cottage come with plus. nothing dies in the garden. we checked twice

hi, it's the weirdos. we tidied up the grove and plus, there's less clutter now

hi, it's the weirdos. opora is now an adhd skills course. the course tab: nine lessons in order, from getting started to rest. the incup lever lesson (interest, novelty, challenge, urgency, passion) is half free. the home screen is yours to build: switch blocks on and off and reorder them. new blocks: focus sound and "opora notices". habits grow as a 30-day garden bed. a done day plants a sprout, a missed day stays bare soil and resets nothing. yesterday can still be marked. noise for work rounds: white and pink are free, brown comes with plus. it plays only during a round, and silence is an option too. on an open iphone duo the home screen and habits split into two columns with the fold between them. onboarding now opens with the pear. the hedgehog is fine with it, we asked

yearly plus now starts with a free week. we argued about it for a while and lost the argument to ourselves. the plus screen now shows your minutes from the last two weeks instead of a list of what we can do. newcomers start straight with five minutes

we fixed the shield. without plus, picking "all apps & categories" left it empty, and social apps opened mid-round. we saw it and kept quiet. now the free shield covers up to 3 items: an app, a whole category or a site. pick more and opora will say so

hi, it's the weirdos. we got a shield. shield on the round: the apps you pick stay closed while the round runs. up to three apps for free, the whole list plus categories and sites with plus. the shielded minutes show up in stats and in the monday letter. the "open anyway" button is always there. the first start asks in plain words whether you want a notification at the end of the round, and only then calls the system dialog. on install day the paywall talks about your next round. after a cancelled purchase one tap tells us why not now. we read every answer. an early stop on the first round shows how many minutes are left until the sprout.

hi, it's the weirdos. we reread every line in the app. the copy is calmer and shorter now: fewer dashes, no pats on the back. practice steps read like instructions. the first sprout card shows the actual plant grown in the first round, and the reminder offer fits on it in full. a few labels in widgets and stats stayed in russian in other languages. now they are translated.

hi, it's the weirdos. we tidied up a bit. a round now ends without petals flying at your face. you get the sprout, the sound and a soft buzz. the step you picked in "can't start" now stays under the timer while the round runs. harder to forget why you sat down. if a streak breaks, the grove shows how many active days you have in total. nobody takes those away. with increase contrast on, the timer ring and small text get darker and easier to read. the breathing pacer in practice stays put instead of jumping around. widgets look neater in tinted mode. the plus screen now shows your week: what opens today, what comes during the week and what arrives on monday.

hi, it's the weirdos. we learned to count to five. the first round is now five minutes. stop after five minutes and the round still counts, the sprout still grows. your first sprout gets its own card. you can turn on task reminders right there, no nagging. a new widget shows your next task. the timer now lives on the lock screen too. settings explain how to add them. plus now comes by the year. it costs less than paying month by month.

hi, it's the weirdos. we tidied up and hit the books. we rewrote the cbt summary for adhd. it has eight topics, from "how to start" to rest. each one carries a chart, the steps and the reason the technique works. the first topic is open to everyone. your tasks float over the garden as fluffs. tap a fluff and the task is closed. a buffalo gets a fanfare. we redrew the meadow: more detail in the grass, the stones and the sky. an award arrives as a card over the grove. we re-sang the sounds lower and softer, so your ears survive. your weirdo sits in settings. tap it and pick another one.

hi, it's the weirdos. scratch us. on the timer, poke your weirdo or scratch it for a couple of seconds. it squashes, leans after your finger, blushes and wiggles. we have ten lines and don't repeat one twice in a row. while a work round runs we stay quiet and fidget. walk through the garden: drag the ground any way you like. flowers stand all over the meadow, the far ones smaller. tap the ground and a flower grows under your finger. we dug a day bed in tasks. one sprout per task: close the task and the sprout blooms. a buffalo grows a bush, and the animal itself holds the checkbox.

hi, it's the weirdos. we moved to a meadow and settled in. the grove opens full screen now and you plant the flowers: pick one at the top and tap the ground. every plant takes a pat. bees fly between the flowers, and today's tasks hang in the air on dandelion seeds. the garden and your weirdo's spot travel in the backup. delete the app, restore the backup, and everything stands where you left it. we redrew the awards: they are medallions with plants from your grove now. the award sound got softer. we go to the banya on a break. the scarf fits each of us, and the one-eyed ones got a monocle. plus has two new fidgets: a ratchet and beads. opora unfolds on iphone duo: it fills the big screen, sideways too. we built a notifications section in settings. the plan for the day, golden hours, the timer, the gardener's letter and the decision check each got a switch. turn on "remind me about open tasks" and pick a time. if your list hasn't moved all day, we send one reminder, no guilt. maybe the thing is done and the tick is missing. plant a seed for tomorrow on day one if you like. if your list is empty, write the thing in your own words. a task can have a day now: today, tomorrow or any day from the calendar. on that day it shows up in today by itself.

hi, it's the weirdos. a tiny version, but we learned to keep quiet. your first day with us passes with no request for stars. first we get to know each other, stars can wait. while you are in a practice or looking at a reward, we don't poke you. the request waits for your next win.

hi, it's the weirdos. a small version: we tidied up the tasks and showed the widgets the way. done tasks on the tasks screen sit in two piles, “today” and “earlier”. we wrote on each pile how many tasks it holds. we folded “earlier”. tap it when you feel like being proud. tick a habit and it moves to done and comes back in the morning. the timer widget opens the timer, the tasks widget opens tasks. tap the grove widget and you land with us.

hi, it's the weirdos. they let us into the new version and we moved a few things around. one level for everything. tasks, habits, intervals, practices and plain days when you got something done now add up to one level. untick a task by mistake and the hedgehog pretends it saw nothing. your level stays with you. from level 2 to 20, one of us waits on every step. the picker shows who comes next and at which level. we left the suspense to tv shows. the hedgehog hatches on your first step. one task or interval gets it out of the egg, and the level 2 card marks the day. the name you gave it now belongs to the hedgehog alone. we have our own names and we got used to them. grounding, can’t start, decisions and rest now earn experience, and the gardener's letter notices the days you did them. six items of your own. the app draws a beanie, a headband, a wreath, an antenna, a gnome cap and a crown for you, and your grove neighbor gets different ones. four arrive with levels 3, 6, 9 and 12, the cap and the crown cost acorns, and plus lets you wear all six right away. when an award or a new level lands, one of us jumps around in the popup. the stars and checkmarks retired and nobody missed them. the grove calmed down: if you changed nothing, it doesn't redraw for no reason. been here a while? the grove shows one card with your level and counts how many of us you have. everyone who was with you stayed.

PLUS RIGHT AFTER PAYMENT Plus unlocks as soon as you pay, with no waiting on a gray button. We fixed the “Plus forever” description: one purchase, no auto-renewal. TIMER DIGITS ON SMALL SCREENS On iPhone SE the timer digits ran into the ring. We made them smaller, and now they fit inside. GARDEN TIP In the full-screen garden you can close the tip with the cross. Swipe across the tip and the garden turns. FEWER REDRAWS While you touch the timer, the grove or the garden, the app redraws the screen less often.

YOUR OWN INTERVAL Your own lengths, right on the timer: measure one with the stopwatch or add any length from 5 to 90 minutes in My Intervals. An interrupted interval doesn't reset to zero: the minutes you put in still count. THE GARDENER'S LETTER Every week your companion writes about the week before: which day had the most focus and which interval came up most often. Letters collect in an album. The first one is open to everyone, the rest come with Plus, as a notification every Monday. COMPANIONS AND APPEARANCE You unlock collectible heroes and their personal items through tasks, intervals and runs of days. A timer ring style, a grove sky and a cat on the ring whose fur settles under your finger. Try an appearance before you buy it, in Settings. JOURNAL AND GROUNDING The decision journal replies to what you write, and its reminder now leads straight into the journal. Grounding gained a mode panel, a STOP step and a first-step screen for “Can't start”. SMALL THINGS YOU ASKED FOR If you missed a habit yesterday, mark it with a long press on its checkbox. Backup now carries everything, including the seed and your settings. Acorns count per task: deleting a task doesn't take the reward from the next one. PLUS FOREVER OR BY THE MONTH One purchase or a monthly subscription, your choice. The timer, tasks, the grove and help in a hard moment stay free, as before.

RESTORE FROM FILE The “Restore from file” button opens the file picker again. In 1.8.1 it did nothing. A REWARD FOR THE TASK Instead of a system alert, a finished task with a reward now gets a card: your companion jumps, petals fly, and “Taking it!” sits below. When today's list is done, the companion cheers at the top of the list too. TASKS WITHOUT EMOJI The “Break it down”, “Habit”, “Reward” and “Idea paper” headers use icons in the app's own colors. The placeholder in “What just popped up?” sits centered in its row. WHAT MOVED TO PLUS The Descartes square, the “Look back” decision review and the red-zone breakdown in Week are now fully in Plus. The timebox, the decision journal, the 48-hour check, the week sliders and every technique for a hard moment stay free, as before.

NAVIGATION IN PRACTICE The rows "Can't start", "Too much of everything" and "Getting distracted" open a screen inside Practice with a back arrow, like every other row in the list. Nothing drops you into another tab anymore. The timer row leads to a short step with a "Go to timer" button; the timer never starts on its own. SHORTER ONBOARDING Four cards instead of six: what this is, your own interval, the grove, the practices. Each one carries a single "Why it works" line grounded in CBT and DBT. TWO NEW WEIRDOS Larpochka: elf by calling, not by passport. 3styn: a white cat in a cardigan who is urgently running somewhere. Both live in the "Who lives in the grove?" picker, wear hats from the chest and join the sticker pack. SMALL THINGS The content inside the timer ring is centered. Scruffy got his English name. On English and Spanish phones the app is called Opora, and Spotlight finds it by that name. PLUS In 1.8.0 we wrote that nothing closes for people who had Opora before. We removed that rule: Plus unlocks by purchase, the same for everyone. Techniques for a hard moment, the timer, tasks, the grove and the first pass of the square, the review and the week stay free.

A MEADOW ON THE TIMER The timer screen is redrawn: the sky follows the time of day, and the dark theme brings night with a moon and stars. The grass and the shelf are hand-drawn, and the bead on the ring is now a pebble with notches you want to spin. Nothing moves while work is running. A SEED FOR TOMORROW In the evening you pick one task and a first step shorter than two minutes. In the morning one notification arrives in your own words, the task moves into Today, and the timer opens already loaded. Miss it and the seed lets the morning go. Nothing is counted anywhere. The usual morning reminders stay quiet that day, so you get one notification instead of three. SETTINGS AND THEME Settings are grouped by section, and you can pick a theme: system, light or dark. Onboarding now explains the "Capture a thought" button. WHAT MOVED INTO PLUS Course notes past the first section, the Descartes square past the first one, the decision review past the first one, and the red-zone breakdown in Week a week after your first audit. If you had Opora before this update, nothing closed on you: what was free stays free. Techniques for a hard moment are free for everyone.
