Hatch With Me is now a companion for any animal you hatch, not just chickens — and it doesn't stop on hatch day. REPTILES Leopard gecko, crested gecko, bearded dragon, ball python, corn snake, box turtle and Russian tortoise. Reptile eggs aren't bird eggs with different numbers, so the app now knows the difference: it never tells you to turn them, there's no lockdown phase, humidity is given as a substrate ratio, hatch dates are shown as realistic windows, and for the species with temperature-dependent sex you can pick your target and get the incubation temperature for it. EGG WEIGHT LOSS The way serious hatchers actually manage humidity. Log a set weight and weigh as you go — you get an actual-vs-target chart and a plain answer: "at this rate you'll finish at 8% instead of 13%, try lowering humidity to around 45%." BROODER MODE The six weeks after hatch day, which nobody else covers. Weekly temperature targets with reminders, chick counts and losses, and a milestone checklist. Reptile hatchlings get a stable warm-end/cool-end setup instead, because ramping one down would be wrong. SOMETHING LOOKS WRONG A troubleshooter covering 13 things that actually go wrong — clear eggs, blood rings, early pipping, shrink-wrapping, splayed legs — each with the most likely causes in order and what to do. Works offline. HATCH REPORT CARD A shareable image of your results when a hatch finishes. ALSO NEW • iCloud sync, so your records survive a new phone • Dark mode • Redesigned throughout, with new artwork for every species • A Settings screen with support, sharing and restore purchases • The AI assistant now runs on Claude FIXED • Turning reminders no longer repeat forever — they now stop at lockdown, at hatch, and when a hatch is archived • Lockdown and hatch-day alerts fired at midnight; now 8am • Notification permission is asked when it's relevant, not at first launch • The "failed eggs" stepper did nothing • Notes with photos made the app slow to save • Per-species hatch rates were skewed by small hatches
