What's New in Cadence
1.5.1
October 26, 2026
FIXED — Settings and Plan on the open iPhone Duo now use one full-width column; 1.5 squeezed them into two and the rows wrapped. Thank you for the quick reports. NEW — Made for iPhone Duo. Unfold and the ON/OFF glance stays on the left while the calendar, the planning tools or settings fill the right, with the tabs beside the clock. Fold it and the cover shows the glance and the tab bar as before. NEW — More on screen when there's room: the plan-ahead tools (next free window, vacation days left, pay estimate, share) become a compact list beside the calendar, and the legend sits next to your swaps and overtime. From 1.4: European rotations by name (3/3, Continental, 6-on-4-off, the Norwegian 2-4), ISO week numbers, and sensible defaults outside the US.
