What's New in Automatic
1.2
September 5, 2026
Every book now has its own cover. All 201 books are drawn by hand - no two alike. The 50 newest ones were the last still sharing a generic motif, and now they aren't. Deeper lessons. Books used to start out distinct and end up sounding alike, because every lesson closed the same way. Over 900 lessons now carry a section on what that book actually argues in its own world - the studies it rests on, the objections it answers, who it is arguing against - alongside the part that brings it back to you. There are about 370 new lessons on top of that. The listening fixes that mattered most: - Books no longer stop mid-play. A question you skipped by pressing play could leave the book paused for good; it can't now. - The spoken heads-up plays in full, in the narrator's own voice, and the bell no longer talks over its opening words. - The second question in a lesson is no longer swallowed, and its answers are no longer cut off mid-sentence. - Pausing during an announcement actually pauses. Search runs off the main thread, so typing in Grow doesn't stutter. Plans are available in the app for the first time. Start with a week of Gold on us, then keep it free with ads, or choose a plan. Blocking the apps that pull you away is built and waiting on Apple's approval of the permission it needs. It is not in this version, and the Focus screen says so plainly rather than pretending otherwise.
