The journal's path comes alive. - Scenery no longer vanishes as you scroll deep into your walking history - Gates now mark real thresholds — vermilion for practice milestones, weathered stone with moss for your first unknowns - Seek walks that found places raise small stone cairns, growing with each finding - The moon shows its true phase from each walk's night, and lanterns glow only for walks that met the dark - The season drifts through: petals in spring, fireflies on summer nights, dragonflies in autumn, snow in winter Walk well.

The unknown now has a door. Seek — a third way of walking. Choose a duration, set an intention, and follow a quiet pulse through fog toward places you didn't choose. Be still when you arrive, and the way continues. Found places glow on your walk's map in the light of the hour you reached them. The journal marks seek walks with their own footprints, and new goshuin seals honor the unknowns you've found. Walk well.

The path settles. A gentler welcome, and a quieter, quicker start. Your spoken reflections stay whole — a passing notification no longer cuts a recording short, and a real call ends it cleanly. Smoother maps, kinder text sizes, and steadier footing on long walks. Walk well.

A starlit appearance, a journey you can tend. Constellation mode is here. A deep indigo path under drifting stars, with a quieter palette and a logo of its own. Set it from Settings → Appearance, or use the new constellation app icon on your home screen. Edit My Journey opens your walks at edit.pilgrimapp.org — tend reflections, archive what's done, bring it all back to your pocket as a single .pilgrim file. Your walks never leave the browser unencrypted; the JSON is injected via the bridge only when you open the page. Smaller refinements: - Archived walks live on as ghost seals in your Goshuin - Transcriptions clamp gracefully with Show more / Show less - A pencil icon now opens the editor, so the new Show more toggle no longer collides with tap-to-edit - Voice recording paths are preserved through edit-and-reimport — your audio is never lost - The sacred-number bell now waits for crossings that happen during your tenure, not the ones the collective already passed before you arrived Every walk is a small pilgrimage. Walk well.

The year is made of four turnings. On solstices and equinoxes, the app now offers a quiet visual touch — a small recognition of the moment you walked through. Walks settle in more gently. Maps fade into place at the start of a walk instead of snapping. Walk share previews unfold in one fluid scroll. Maps quiet themselves during meditation or when the screen is dark, saving battery on long walks. Recordings hold up better through interruptions. Phone calls pause and resume your recording cleanly. Recordings that began and stalled are sanitized in recovery rather than crashing the session. Two new whispers join the Presence catalog — the dynamic catalog grows without app updates. Walk well.

Your photos, pinned to the path. Photos you took during a walk now appear in a quiet carousel on your summary — gathered from Apple Photos, never copied or stored. Long-press one and pin it to the route map. Each becomes a small circular relic anchored to where you stood when you took it. Scroll the carousel and the map follows. Tap a map pin and the carousel scrolls to meet it. Pinned photos also enrich your writing prompts — the app reads them on-device to understand what you saw and weaves it into reflections that feel like they walked with you. Walk well.

The sky remembers where you walked. Share a walk and receive a reading back — one true sentence about the sky at the moment you walked. The supermoon you missed. The equinox you didn't notice. The 14 minutes before sunrise when you set out. Every walk gets one, every reading is true. Meditation sessions now keep the screen lit the whole way through. The whisper catalog is now dynamic — new whispers arrive without updates. Walk well.

Traces on the path. Leave a Whisper — place an ephemeral audio message at your location for other pilgrims to discover. Choose from seven energies: presence, lightness, wonder, gratitude, compassion, courage, stillness. Each whisper is voiced by a different guide and fades after the duration you choose. Place a Stone — start or grow a cairn wherever you walk. Cairns are permanent landmarks that evolve through seven tiers as more pilgrims add their stones, from a faint mark to an eternal cairn of 108 stones. Each tier has its own character, kanji, and visual presence. Walk near a whisper or cairn and it reveals itself — whisper icons in guide colors, cairn icons in moss green, appearing on your map as you approach. Room for the land. The walk screen is quieter now. The map fills the view, with your stats resting at the bottom in a small bar — time, distance, steps, and your intention held beneath. Tap Start and the screen steps back. Swipe up any time to see everything, then let it fold away again. Fits every phone and every text size. Also in this release: - Shared walks now show their expiry status and can be re-shared - Meditation's "None" soundscape stays off when you choose it - Lock screen updates reliably when walks end - Full moon renders as a perfect circle - Smoother map with annotations above the route line Walk well.

More room to breathe. - Every screen now scales gracefully with larger text sizes - Smoother transitions between walk modes - A dark mode logo for those who walk at night Walk well.

Weather awareness and map display now work correctly on all devices. Microphone is optional during setup — grant it when you're ready to record. New in Settings: • Share Pilgrim with friends • Rate Pilgrim on the App Store • Leave a Trail Note (moved for easier access)
