## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0.5 — 2026-10-05

Your child checks in on iPad. You see it on your phone.

DayStar connects a child's daily routine with a parent's attention. The child simply finishes tasks and collects stars; the parent watches progress, sends encouragement and handles the exceptions — from their own phone. Each side can use its own Apple Account, and everything syncs through your own iCloud.

For the child
• Daily habits and weekly challenges that earn stars, redeemable for rewards you set
• Today's classes and schedule at a glance
• Mood check-ins and a daily note, with Apple Pencil handwriting
• A celebration when the day is complete, and praise from parents appearing live

Parent Console
• See what's done today and exactly what's left
• Send praise with one tap — it reaches the child's iPad immediately
• Get notified when the day is fully complete, and reply straight from the notification
• Child ill or away? Excuse a task: the day still counts as complete and reminders stay quiet
• Forgot to check in? A parent can record it afterwards, stars included
• Step back through any earlier day and that week's challenges

Timetable and school calendar
• School classes, the yearly school calendar and extracurriculars in one daily view
• Holidays in the calendar automatically suspend that day's classes
• Smart import from timetable PDFs, published timetable links and calendar subscriptions (Pro)

For the whole family
• Parent and child each keep their own Apple Account
• Several parent devices, each with its own view
• Each child gets a separate library, so tasks, stars and timetables never mix (Pro)

Privacy
• No account to create, no ads, no third-party analytics, no behavioural tracking
• Data syncs through your own iCloud between your family's devices; the developer sees none of it
• The parent passcode stays in the device keychain, never synced, set per device

Free and Pro Lifetime
Free includes 4 daily habits, 2 weekly challenges, one child, and multi-device sync on a single Apple Account.
DayStar Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited tasks, multiple children, family sharing across Apple Accounts, and smart timetable import. Apple Family Sharing is supported, so one purchase covers everyone.

### 2.0 — 2026-09-13

DayStar 2.0: the Parent Console is here!
• Brand-new Parent Console (iPhone): watch your child's progress ring, today's check-in timeline and star balance in real time, and send love & praise that pops up on the child's iPad instantly.
• Separate Apple Accounts for parent and child: the library is kept safely in the parent's iCloud, and the child's device joins via an invitation link. Check-ins reach the parent instantly; tasks, skips and rewards stay under parent control. Same-account two-device sync is still supported.
• Multiple children: each child gets an independent library — tasks, stars and timetables never mix — with one-tap switching on the Parent Console (Pro Lifetime feature).
• Care from anywhere: sick day or family trip? Skip today's tasks or mark a rest day right from the parent's phone — excused skips never count against completion, and reminders stay quiet.
• Full timetable on the parent side: school classes, the yearly school calendar and extracurriculars merged into one daily view, with automatic holiday suspension.
• Cloud push makes sync near-instant, and a new sync diagnostics panel makes any issue easy to spot.
• Many refinements and stability improvements throughout.
DayStar Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase with Apple Family Sharing — one purchase unlocks the whole family.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-11

Welcome to DayStar 1.5!
【What's New】

• Celestial App Icons: Unlock exclusive galaxy-themed icons for your Home Screen.
