Changelog
What's new in Cadence. Every update, from the latest release back to day one.
1.3.4 5 May 2026 Latest 6 changes
- New Geo-fence reminders (v0) -- opt-in, location-based reminders so a dose can prompt you when you arrive home or somewhere you've chosen, configured in Settings
- New Symptom logging via tap-region body map -- tap a body region to record where a symptom is felt, alongside severity
- New Monthly review prompt and sheet -- a once-a-month nudge to look back over the past month, with a dedicated review sheet
- New "30 days ago you..." lookback card -- Insights surfaces what was happening a month ago so you can see how things have shifted
- New Per-symptom detail -- tap any symptom in Insights to open a focused view of that symptom over time
- Improved Scan Prescription Label promoted -- the label-scan button now sits at the top of the Add Medication form for new entries, so it's the first thing you reach for
1.3.3 1 May 2026 15 changes
- Removed Retired surfaces -- the "Took with food" toggle, the "Daily Check-in" prompt card on Today and the "Quiet mode" setting are gone. Low-energy mode stays
- New Tap the rhythm score for a breakdown -- see how each component (recent adherence, streak, timing, journal) contributes to your number, with the weights and personal scores laid out as bars
- New Per-medication symptom heatmap -- the symptoms-vs-medications chart now gives each medication its own row of daily squares with a vertical line on the start date, so the question "did symptoms appear after this medication" reads off the page
- New Distinct Today states -- in-progress, all-done and missed each get their own hero treatment, with a warm amber recovery tone for missed (never red, never shame) and softer "catch up" copy
- New Evening close moment -- a calm "all set for today" overlay fires once a day the first time every dose is logged. Quiet, not confetti
- New Doctor report prompt -- when you have enough history (14+ days) and an appointment is likely on the horizon, Insights surfaces a card to generate the one-page summary directly, instead of hiding it in Settings
- New "Adapted" badges on dose cards -- when SmartTimingEngine has shifted a reminder to match when you actually take a dose, the chip on Today now spells the offset ("Adapted +6m") so the magic isn't invisible
- New Severity ramp on symptom rows -- five dots show average severity at a glance; "X days, last 5d ago" replaces the gym-set "X x" notation
- Improved Symptoms-vs-meds chart narrates the data -- "First symptoms logged 4 days after starting Paracetamol" replaces the generic "load is steady" headline when the data shows clustering, with a "discuss with your doctor" caveat. Chart zooms to where the data lives instead of 90 days of empty space
- Improved Period comparison only fires when meaningful -- "Down 17 points vs April" replaces "Down 17% from last period", and the comparison stays quiet when the current period is barely started
- Improved Journal section consolidated -- Symptoms, Medication Effects (now Mood Highlights) and the "log more" hint merged into one card. Bottom of the Journal tab is two cards instead of four
- Improved Cross-screen labelling reconciled -- "Avg X mins late" / "most missed" / "X days" wording is consistent on every tab, "Avg mood 3.0" now reads "3.0 / 5", and the cryptic "=" icon is gone in favour of a clean horizontal line
- Improved Trial pill is calmer -- the orange "Pro Trial / Upgrade" banner on Today is now a slim neutral pill so it doesn't compete with the dose action target or share orange with the DUE NOW state
- Improved "Back to Today" no longer overlaps content -- bottom padding bumps when the floating pill is showing
- Improved Mood calendar de-duplicated -- the redundant in-card monthly grid is gone; the 12-week heatmap at the top of Journal carries that story
- Improved SmartTiming explained in Settings -- per-medication detail now shows the actual adapted reminder time and sample count, instead of a generic "your reminders have been adjusted"
- Improved Health tab no longer triple-counts -- positive metric trends (sleep up, HRV up etc) used to render as a top-level factor card AND as a Baseline Changes row AND on the metric's own card. Now lives only on the Health tab where you'd look for it
1.3.2 28 April 2026 19 changes
- New Quick-add wizard -- adding a new medication is now a 4-tap flow for the common case, with the full form one tap away for tapering, intervals and supply
