## What is Grumpy Sharky?

Doze off on the ride? A very grumpy little shark wakes you before your stop.
Get off on time and it grows and judges you. It also keeps your to-dos, calendar and shift roster, and briefs you every morning.
Nurse, retail or factory shift worker? Fill in your shifts and your alarms follow them.

Grumpy Sharky: an arrival alarm, a pet to raise, to-dos, a calendar and a shift roster in one.

Gets you off at the right stop
- GPS only, no route lookup: buses, subways, trains, coaches and ferries, in the countryside or abroad
- Vibration and sound as you enter your destination's range, earlier when you're moving fast
- Battery friendly: light tracking far away, high accuracy up close, works with the screen off
- Tunnel protection: no GPS? It estimates from your last speed and would rather wake you early
- Your destination gets a little red flag. Ride the same way long enough and little sea creatures show up along it. Tap one: it remembers how often you've passed

Take care of Sharky
- Dismiss alarms on time, get off at your stop, finish your to-dos, and Sharky grows, levels up and changes its mood
- It poops, gets sick, sleeps at night and talks in its sleep
- Six moods and 10,000+ lines, written fresh in five languages, not translated
- 77 accessories: one per level, free in the app only, never sold, odds published
- Pink Shark: a new look at Lv10. Sharp tongue, soft heart, would never admit it
- Play with a friend: scan each other's QR codes and your sharks sit face to face and really chat. Your friend sees your shark's current look

To-dos and calendar
- Dates, reminder times and repeats (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or only on workdays or days off)
- Location reminders when you arrive at or leave a place: documents at work, milk when you leave the store
- Remind me when I ride: no date needed. Start a ride and Sharky tells you what to do on the way
- Countdowns for exams, trips and bills, with Sharky teasing you 7, 3 and 1 day before
- Sticky-note colors for what's urgent, plus notes, phone and address on any to-do
- A month view with a green dot on days you finished everything. Overdue to-dos get stuck on Sharky
- Tap Done or Remind me in 10 min right from the notification
- Back up your to-dos to a file for your next phone. No account needed

Shift roster, made for shift work
- Three ways to work: a regular week (public holidays off), a fixed rotation (like 2-on-2-off) or a monthly roster from your manager
- Fill it like coloring: pick a shift and drag across the days, or fill one day after another
- Doubles: a day shift straight into nights shows as two colors in one box
- Copy last month by date or by weekday, with undo
- Mark vacation, sick, personal and official leave
- Different hours on different days? Change just that day
- Monthly summary: how many of each shift and your total hours
- Add your hourly wage for an estimated paycheck, with shift bonuses, overtime and currency (before tax)
- Share your roster as an image, portrait for phones or landscape for computers, with your to-dos if you like. Showing your pay is up to you
- Alarms and to-dos can ring only on workdays, days off or a certain shift, or "X minutes before work"
- The widget shows today's and tomorrow's shift
- Packed month or empty one, Sharky has something to say

Sharky's briefing
- Each morning Sharky grabs a pointer and briefs you on today's to-dos, what's overdue and what's done
- Save a day's agenda as an image to share with family
- Weekly report: to-dos done, rides taken and distance traveled, charted

Holidays
- Christian holidays like Easter and Christmas, one tap to get reminded

And more
- Home screen widget with Sharky; the large size lists today's to-dos. Start monitoring in one tap
- Daily tarot, whack-a-mole, rock-paper-scissors, tic-tac-toe and gomoku, also as wake-up challenges
- Time alarms, white noise, custom ringtones, headphones mode and quiet hours

Your to-dos, roster and pay stay on your phone and are never uploaded.

Grumpy Sharky is now your life organizer

To-dos and calendar
Dates, reminder times, repeats, and reminders when you arrive at or leave a place. A month view, plus Done and Remind me in 10 min right on the notification.

Remind me when I ride
No date needed. Start a ride and Sharky reminds you what to do on the way.

Countdowns
Exams, trips, bills. See the days left, with Sharky teasing you 7, 3 and 1 day before.

Morning briefing and weekly report
Every morning Sharky briefs you on a whiteboard. Every week it tallies what you finished and how far you rode. Share a day's agenda as an image.

Sticky notes
Color-code what's urgent. Overdue to-dos get stuck on Sharky.

Home screen widget
The large size lists today's to-dos.

Also
- A living deep-sea background and a jellyfish loading animation
- Export your to-dos as a backup
- Fixed an iPad launch issue

### 1.2.5 — 2026-08-04

Fortune, reworked
The card now arrives face down, shivers once, and then turns over. Tap it again for the full reading. Both faces are the same height, so flipping no longer makes the layout jump.

Hand-drawn fruit
Sunshine and Storm fruit are no longer system emoji, so they look identical on every device.

Games now report back
All four mini-games tell you how much EXP you earned, and the fish has a different excuse for every game and every outcome.

Better aim when feeding
Fruit now flies to where the fish actually is, mouth included, instead of the middle of the screen.

It has a name
Whatever you named your fish now shows up in every message, instead of a flat "it".

Also
- Trading fruit asks for confirmation first
- Startup and stability fixes

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-03

76 accessories, all hand-drawn, across head, face, chest and hand. Levelling up now opens a reveal — the fish appears out of a rarity-coloured glow already wearing what you drew.
720 quote lines — 120 per mood, rewritten in all five languages.
Whack-a-fish, playable from the very first launch. No unlock required.
Welcome gift: your first launch grants a level and one accessory.
Reworked fruit: arriving at your stop and dismissing a time alarm now reward separately, and you can trade three spare fruit for one of the other kind.
Ranks up to Lv.100 — from "Salted Fish" all the way to "Still Just a Salted Fish".
