1.0.17
September 7, 2026
This release is about trusting what you see. • Your finished labor stays in History. Close out a session and it's still there — viewable, editable and exportable for your care team. • Deleted a contraction by mistake? Tap Undo. • Contractions timed from the Lock Screen or your Apple Watch now reliably reach the app, with their original times intact. • Siri tells you what actually happened — "Saved" only when it really saved. • Partner links you revoke are really switched off. • Fixed a crash on launch. • The Live Activity is yours to control — hide it from the Lock Screen without ending your session, and bring it back whenever you want.
