March 10, 2024
*mic noises* Akhm, is this still on? Thanks everyone for using Helios over the past few years! This is a major and long overdue complete rewrite of the app. Here's what's new:
- New "Outlook" tab replaces the "Today" screen. It features a beautiful new Sun graphic inspired by the old design, but better in every way. Magic hour times are now shown vertically, show more data, and allow you to dive further into each event.
- new "Places" tab replaces the "Location" screen. It's designed from the ground up, but feels familiar and works exactly as you'd expect.
- The "Tools" tab also features a major redesign. It's more dense, but includes all the tools you're familiar with.
- This release fixes various issues, including weird timezone edge cases, odd behaviours in the Southern Hemisphere, and more.
- Notifications have been rewritten from scratch to consume less energy.
- iPad design has been better optimized for the big screen.
- Apple Watch app has been redone from scratch with a bold new design featuring the familiar Sun graphic and more data.
- New widgets, including a beautiful Sun graphic that looks *soooo* cool, give it a try!
- We bumped up the minimum iOS version to iOS 17, so we can better support new iOS features now and in the future.
