Latest updates
1.2.7
Your wisdom, everywhere you are: now on your Wrist, in your Browser, and through every Focus or Pomodoro session.
Safari extension (free, built in):
• The whole interface now speaks Portuguese and Spanish, including the Sage's guidance, with a one-tap language switch.
• I rewrote Reveal Wisdom to be faster and steadier, so it surfaces the ideas worth remembering on any page.
• Your collection stays private, right on your device.
Apple Watch:
• A new Ancient World Clock: a hand-crafted mechanical dial in glowing gold, with the live date.
• Three new paths, Affirmations, Gryffindor and Spartan, so all 16 traditions now live on your wrist.
• I redesigned the path picker with luminous, colour-coded orbs, and made the quote view bigger and easier to read.
• Tap the heart to save favourites to your profile.
• Fully offline, with hundreds of new quotes, so wisdom is always one tap away, signal or not.
Focus sessions and Training Camp:
• The timer no longer stops when you lock your phone. Sessions now follow the real clock, so putting the phone down (which is rather the point of a focus session) keeps the count honest.
• Breaks now have their own timer, fully integrated with the Focus Session timer. Pick 5, 10, 15 or 25 minutes and a soft chime tells you when your focus or pomodoro session (and its break) is over. A break keeps running on any screen in the app.
• Three focus modes: Sprint Forge, Balanced March and Deep Ritual. Each has its own colour, and I carried it through the timer, the progress bar and the clock's glow.
• Set any duration you like with the new custom minutes field.
• I gave the two clocks clearer names: Pomodoro Clock and Ancient Pomodoro Clock.
• The Ancient Pomodoro Clock is improved. The countdown speaks for itself, so I dropped the title, framed it with a Greek meander and softened the glow.
• Sound and auto-start breaks are proper settings now, and they remember your choice.
Polish and fixes:
• Spanish and Portuguese translations are fully complete ,including a few remaining app text elements, which still used to appear in English.
• Fixed a countdown that could render blank.
• Improved the Training Camp Screen: a cleaner focus card, a quieter battlefield and optimized screen space overall.
