What's New in Fathom

1.1.1

August 22, 2026

Runs cooler and more reliably, with a simpler settings screen. • Fixed the app heating up and draining battery faster during longer Lookout and Live Task sessions. • Fixed VoiceOver sometimes talking over Lookout's narration. • Auto-start on the Home screen is now one clear toggle, so what you set is what actually happens. • Smoother reconnects and fewer interruptions during Live Task. Your safety net — obstacle alerts and haptics — always runs on your device, and it's always free.
