## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-06-02

Clear your airways with confidence. A brand-new Airway Clearance section guides you through the Active Cycle of
  Breathing (ACBT) — the technique respiratory physiotherapists teach to help shift phlegm from the lungs. Step-by-step
  screens walk you through breathing control, deep breathing, and gentle huffs at your own pace. Built-in safety guide
  included.

  A calmer, simpler exercise library.
  - Diaphragmatic Breathing (formerly Belly Breathing) has a cleaner inhale → exhale → rest rhythm.
  - Gentle Box Breathing has been retired to keep the lineup focused.
  - Custom Exercise on iPhone and Apple Watch now fully supports breath holds — set inhale, hold, exhale, rest, and
  rounds exactly how you like them.

  Less notification fatigue.
  - New Notifications on/off switch in Settings — pause every reminder with one tap, no trip to iOS Settings.
  - Recommended Reminders now suggests a gentler 3 times a day (8 am, 1 pm, 6 pm) instead of 5.
  - Reminders are now shown in time order with a clearer enable/disable toggle and a handy "Send Test Notification"
  button.

  Fresh first impression. New launch screen: BreathWorx — Breathe Better.

  Quality of life fixes.
  - Apple Health sync working again on devices where it had stopped.
  - Backup & Restore opens reliably with clearer error messages.
  - Apple Watch: fixed a layout glitch on the daily progress card; the Custom Exercise editor is now tidier.

  Thanks for breathing with us.
