What's New in How Long

1.5

June 27, 2026

Stats tab — fully rebuilt Headline summary at the top: "You spent X hours across N places this [month]" with month-over-month comparison ("Up 11.5 days from last month") and your most-active day. Insights cards — auto-generated nuggets like "Longest visit ever: 14h at Cabin (Aug 12)", "Tuesdays are your busiest", "Streak alert: 2 more visits to Gym this week", and anniversary milestones (1m / 6m / 1y / 2y). Goal dashboard card showing "X of Y goals on track this week" with per-place mini progress bars. Charts — fully rebuilt Replaced the 3-tab picker with a scrolling dashboard of 5 charts, all driven by one period selector (30D / 90D / Year / All). NEW: Day × Hour heatmap — see exactly when you visit places, by day-of-week and hour. Tap a cell to see "Tuesday at 3pm — 8 visits, mostly Coffee Shop." NEW: Category donut — hours by category for the chosen period, with a percent breakdown when you tap a slice. Hours per week is now a stacked chart — see composition by category (or top 5 places + "Other") so you can tell where your week went, not just the total. Press-and-hold a week for 0.5 s to "pin" its breakdown so it stays after you lift your finger. Hours by place is now period-bound and shows visit count alongside hours. By day of week has a Visits ↔ Hours toggle. Photos & videos at a place New "View photos here" option in the map's pin callout. New per-visit swipe action / context menu in a place's visit history to see photos taken during that specific visit. Backed by the Photos library on your device — nothing uploaded, ever. Videos are included with a play-icon + duration badge, and play full-screen in the gallery. Pro feature. Map pin callout Tapping a pin on the Places map now shows a small bottom sheet with three options: View photos here (Pro) View stats — opens the place's visit history + streaks Open place — goes to edit Friends New "Share visit history" master toggle per friend: turn on once, pick 7 days / 30 days / all, and every existing + future share inherits the setting. After flipping it on, you're prompted to share past visits too so the friend's history starts complete instead of empty. Auto-share now correctly enables for newly-added places when the master toggle is on. (Bug fix.) "Notify me for all locations" intent is now inherited by newly-added places. (Bug fix.) Renaming a shared place now syncs to the friend's view. (Bug fix.) If you share a place while you're currently inside it, the friend immediately sees you're there — no need to leave and come back. (Bug fix.) Feature board Tap any feature request to see the full detail and a thread of developer replies. New "Implemented" section at the bottom of the Browse list, with a green checkmark, showcasing ideas that have shipped. Suggested places Swipe left on a suggested place to reveal Ignore. Ignoring now opens a map preview with a live radius slider (in meters or feet, matching your preference) so you can see exactly how big an area you're muting before confirming. Bug fixes False "you left a place" events: fixed two cases where the app would close an active visit even though you hadn't moved or disconnected from Wi-Fi. When iOS briefly couldn't report the connected Wi-Fi SSID (common in the background), we used to treat that as "you left." Now we only mark you as having left when we know you're on a different network. When GPS drifted a few meters outside a tight geofence radius, the exit fired even with you still on the place's Wi-Fi. Now Wi-Fi presence overrides geofence drift and vetoes the false exit. Map "go to my location" button didn't actually go to your location — it only zoomed to a saved place or fit-all. Now it pans to your GPS when you're not inside a saved place.
