Longer format articles are now available with additional enhancements for text formatting. Explore the world of Kaura with tips and advice for improving your mindful practice.

We've got another big one for you! We are introducing public profiles! Previously, we allowed the ability to share playlists with the Kaura community. Building on top of shared playlists, public profiles take us one step further to creating a connected, mindful ecosystem. Find a playlist you like? Tap on the author's username within the playlist, view their profile, and discover other playlists they've shared. Profiles will now include both Activity and Shared Playlists. See how others use Kaura! Need to keep your activity private? No problemo. Just disable Share Activity within Settings. The Library has gotten a slight makeover to include new releases! This should keep the Library looking fresh with our weekly album releases. Album artwork is also much bigger! We've added a "Downloaded" section to the Library so you can quickly see what albums are available offline. Also, within the Library, you can now sort albums by title or date released. A bug has been squashed that was preventing Mindful Minutes from being reported to the Apple Health app for some users. Playlist contextual menus now allow you to set the currently loaded playlist as your default. You don't have to go to Settings to choose your default playlist. It ALSO means you can set someone's shared playlist as your default. Woo! We fixed an issue that prevented the ability to have a playlist with only one infinite timer. Speaking of timers, they look much better now with new spacing and animations. A new privacy section has been added to Settings. This ever-growing section will allow you to fine-tune your privacy settings as more features get added. Viewing historical session summaries has improved a lot. The soundscape summaries should be more in line with how they are displayed within a playlist. Background downloads are HERE. Rest assured; a download will finish if you start it and send Kaura to the background. Phew! A contextual menu has been added to the timers in the playlist. This gives you the option to DUPLICATE a timer! Huzzah! You can also delete the timer and jump straight into adding bells. Yowza! That's a lot, but there are even more bug fixes and improvements—trust us. Congrats on making it this far, and see you in the community!

Usernames and profile bios have landed! Come on over and grab your preferred name while ya can! Introducing… INFINITE TIME! By popular demand, timers can now be set to Infinite Time. Let your sessions flow as long as you want. Soundscapes with Infinite Time must be manually skipped or ended.

Drumroll, please! Connecting with the Kaura community is now better than ever with the introduction of shareable playlists! Publish your playlists for others to enjoy and explore those curated by others. You can also favorite your most loved playlists for quick access to often-used soundscapes. Drag-and-drop is here! Easily rearrange your soundscapes within a playlist with added drag-and-drop functionality. Streaming has also received a lot of improvements. Soundscapes now loop much more seamlessly, and transitions between tracks are smooth as butter. How do you use Kaura? We'd love to see your playlists!

Have you been dreaming of streaming? Yeah, us, too. Streaming is here! All albums can now be streamed and no longer require downloading for use in a Playlist. Albums can still be downloaded for offline use. This should be a dramatic improvement for Watch users. Several new performance improvements have been added as well, and we fixed some bugs, including one that would play your last Kaura track when CarPlay is connected. Huzzah!

The tab bar has been redesigned for a cleaner, more spacious feel—so much room for activities. Profiles are here! We've introduced a profile tab that now stores your stats, settings, and activity. You can even upload a fancy photo of yourself. Watch users can now download individual tracks instead of having to download entire albums.
