What's New in kairos outdoor

1.2

August 21, 2026

Notifications now arrive. Windows are scheduled ahead as well as checked in the background, so an alert no longer depends on iOS granting the app a moment to run. If 1.1 went quiet for you, this is the fix. Share an activity or a spot. Send your setup for an activity — the conditions, and any spots you choose — as a link. A shared spot carries its own settings and river gauge, so it works the same on the other phone. Accepting a link never overwrites settings you've already made: shared spots are added alongside your own, and you see everything in the link before anything is added. One permission at a time. Location, notifications, and calendar are now asked for separately, each explained first, along with what still works if you decline. Calendar offers a read-only choice. A short introduction on first launch, before anything is asked of you. What kairos is doing — a new screen showing whether background checks are running, when the last one was, when the last alert was sent, and what's queued next. Surf — both swell trains are now charted as Open-Meteo defines them, primary and secondary, for height, period, and direction. Scoring reads both rather than picking one: their heights combine the way their energy does, so two swells running together make the bigger sea they actually make, while period and direction are weighted by how much of the swell each one carries. A cleanliness figure is charted alongside the match — chop's share of the energy, and a penalty when the two swells run at each other instead of together. Air quality is charted for activities it counts toward. River flow — a level outside the range you set now counts against a window more strictly, and a range set to a single figure no longer scores as a match. Fixes — the widget no longer suggests activities you can't reach in time. Stargazing after midnight is filed under the night it belongs to. Committing to an hour moves other activities to their next best time instead of dropping them. Beachcombing and tidepooling show their match chart and time picker. Past events no longer read as "peak in -3 days". Ski conditions report snow at the spot's own elevation. A pinned spot can also keep scoring where you are.
