## What is Habanera?

Habanera is the hands-free walk and care companion for your dog.

Track every walk without holding your phone, start with a tap, capture photos in a single gesture, and let the Live Activity stay on your Lock Screen. When you stop, Habanera remembers the duration, the route, the rating, the dogs you walked with.

But Habanera is more than walks. It's the home for your dog's whole life.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Walks: start in one tap, pause, rate quality (great / good / hard / bad), capture photos that anchor each walk in time
• Health booklet: vaccines, antiparasitics, vet visits, grooming, all in one timeline. Get reminders before they expire.
• Today's pill organizer: log every dose, see what's next, never miss a treatment
• Heat cycles: track each cycle, predict the next one, log behavior notes
• Weight tracking: chart growth and changes over months
• Multiple dogs: switch profiles, walk multiple dogs together, log per-dog

HANDS-FREE BY DESIGN

• Live Activity keeps the active walk visible on Lock Screen
• Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and Control Center
• Siri shortcuts: "Start a walk with Alfie", "Show the next reminder", "Mark vaccine as done"
• Spotlight: search any of your dogs by name or nickname
• Stickers: 13 painted stickers in iMessage to share with your dog people

PRIVACY FIRST

Everything syncs across your devices via your private iCloud. No account, no servers, no analytics. Your dog's data is yours alone.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-06-03

• More reliable iCloud sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac, with clearer sync status and self-healing alerts when iCloud needs attention.
• Backup & Restore: export a full copy of your data (with or without photos) and import it back anytime, from the new "iCloud & data" screen.
• Automatic on-device backups, so your data always has a safety net.
• Share your dog's profile: export a ready-to-print PDF of the health booklet to hand to your vet, family or dog sitter.
• Record your dog's allergies in the health booklet.
• Duplicate review, sharper profile photos, and polish throughout.
    
Thank you for using Habanera.

### 1.4 — 2026-05-29

• Share your dog's health profile with vets, sitters, or boarding in one tap — an automatic PDF with identity, allergies, current and past medications, vaccines, antiparasitics, surgeries, vet visits, nutrition and weight. A short on-device AI summary is added on top when Apple Intelligence is available.

• Record known allergies on each dog's profile with mild / moderate / severe severity and the date of diagnosis.

• New Surgery entry in the health booklet with vet or clinic location. After saving, we offer to schedule the post-op follow-up visit.

• iCloud-restore hint at onboarding so returning users on a new device see how their dogs come back.

• App Shortcuts tiles now match Habanera's caramel and chocolate palette instead of the default system blue.

• Better accessibility: High Contrast color variants, Voice Control aliases on common controls, more consistent Reduce Motion respect.

• Today's walk count treats joint outings as a single session — a 60-minute walk with two dogs reads "1 walk · 60 min" instead of "2 walks · 120 min".

• iCloud sync errors surface as actionable banners in Profile (storage full, sync stuck).

• Memorial improvements: activation now works when you have only one living companion, and the revive flow is softer and harder to trigger by accident.

• Smoother visual feedback when tapping rows in the health booklet.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-22

• A "Monthiversary" banner now celebrates puppies every month during their first year.
• Companions in memory keep the age they were at the day of remembrance.
• Joint walks count as one outing in today's totals.
• Light / Dark / System appearance picker in Profile.
• Lighter to install, smoother photo scrolling, stronger accessibility throughout.

Thanks for using Habanera !!!

### 1.2 — 2026-05-20

Pack walks:
Start one walk for every dog in your household at once. 
Each dog gets its own record, but the session reads as a single row with a stacked avatar in the list.

Pick your icon:
Three alternates to the default: Habanera Good, Alfie Good, and Alfie Wonderful.
Find them in Profile → App icon. 

In Memory:
A soft space to honour a companion who's no longer with you. 
Personal letters, sepia or black-and-white photo styles, quiet birthdays kept apart from the active dogs list. 

Shortcuts & automations:
A new help section explains how to start a walk with Siri, the Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and up), or the Lock Screen widget.
Find it in Profile → Shortcuts. 

Accessibility:
Major pass across VoiceOver, Voice Control, Reduced Motion, Larger Text, and Increase Contrast. Every animation now respects the system setting, on-screen controls clear WCAG 4.5:1, and icon-only buttons have spoken labels.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-01

New today: a friendly birthday banner when one of your dogs has their day.

Walk galleries now cap at 5 photos to stay snappy.

iCloud sync diagnostic added to Profile, with a Force sync action if your dogs aren't appearing on a second device.

Plus a discreet memorial option for owners who want it.
