What's New in Gentle Ally

1.2.0

June 29, 2026

This update is about finding calm — and the right words — faster. NEW: Caregiver Calm A space just for you. Your own regulated nervous system is the biggest support you can offer your child — so this one comes first. Follow a guided breathing exercise (1, 3, or 5 minutes), lean on grounding scripts and affirmations in the hard moments, and set an optional gentle daily reminder to check in with yourself. NEW: Declarative Phrasebook 57 ready-to-use, PDA-friendly phrases for everyday moments — bedtime, mealtimes, leaving the house, transitions and more. Works completely offline with no daily limit. Browse by situation or by declarative pattern, search, tap to copy, and switch between British and American wording. Plus small fixes and polish throughout. Thank you for being here. — EJ
