What's New in Haven
1.5.1
October 15, 2026
Haven 1.5.1 — the pill lets go. • Fixed: the break countdown in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen could sit at 0:00 after a break ended while Haven was in the background. It now flips to "Relocked" the moment the break is over, Haven wakes to clear it, and it's gone the next time you open the app. No streaks. No shame. Just the pause.
