ADDED • Daily goal marker on the day strip: a small star appears under each day number when you hit your focus goal that day. On today, the star turns green and replaces the today-dot when the goal is met. • Expandable streak history: tap either the Current Streak or Best Streak card to reveal a horizontally scrollable 30-day timeline. Each day is a cell - filled green for session days, with a white star inside cells where you hit the daily goal. • Run highlights: flame-colored capsule under your current streak run, trophy-colored capsule under your best run within the window. Quick legend underneath. • Custom block screen: when an app is blocked or hits its daily time limit, Acuo now shows a branded shield in place of the generic iOS sheet - so it's always clear Acuo did the blocking, and why. • Chameleon stickers: six unlockable looks of Acuo, earned by extending your best focus streak so the rewards stick even if the current streak resets: -- Zen - default -- Hippie -3-day streak -- Monk - 7-day streak -- Star - 10-day streak -- Hunter - 15-day streak -- Wizard - 20-day streak -- Galaxy - 25-day streak -- Explorer - 30-day streak -- Lightkeeper - 60-day streak Switch the active sticker in Profile > Stickers. Locked stickers show a padlock and the streak required to unlock. The selected sticker appears on the home hero, the active focus-session screen, and the Live Activity / lock-screen / home-screen widget. ### 2.1.1 — 2026-06-24 - App that reached their limit have a visual indicator in the card next to their icon - When press the hour glass, you will have an overview over the limit and actual usage per app. Bugfixing: - Fixed an issue where the limited time was always reset to 30m after restart the app. - Fixed an issue with setting up the reset time. ### 2.1 — 2026-06-24 NEW FEATURE: * Give each app a daily minute budget — it works until the budget runs out, then locks.
