What's New in Aethel
2.0.0
September 5, 2026
Aethel 2.0 is the biggest release since the app launched. REDESIGNED FROM SCRATCH Every screen has been redrawn: soft shadows, real depth, careful typography. Same app, completely different feel. APPLE WATCH APP Start a workout on your iPhone and the Watch starts by itself. It records your heart rate throughout and saves it with the workout in Health, where it never showed up before. On your wrist you get heart rate, elapsed time and the rest timer; pause on the Watch and your iPhone follows. READINESS SCORE A single number combining muscle fatigue, recovery and heart rate variability. Enough to tell in thirty seconds whether today is a day to push. WORKOUT SHARING Every workout has a short code. Send it to anyone, they import it in one tap. SESSION RECOVERY If the app closes mid-workout you pick up where you left off: sets, weights and timers all still there. THEME PREVIEW Thirty seconds of free trial on any theme before you decide. EXTENDED CLOUD BACKUP Now includes calisthenics skills and preferences. FIXES - The fatigue model counted sets taken to failure twice when RIR was also logged. Failure sets now carry a consistent recovery cost. - Workouts finished after midnight were recorded on the previous day in the calendar, breaking your streak. - The calendar now marks days as completed even when nothing was scheduled. - The workout count ignored workouts inside folders and stayed at zero. - Workouts deleted from your history are now removed from Apple Health too. - Fixed a crash when the rest timer ran out. - The notes field no longer ends up underneath the keyboard while typing. Thanks to everyone who reported issues and sent ideas: nearly everything in this release came from there. Keep them coming.
