## What is Kudost?

EARN POINTS & REWARDS
Every completed task earns points based on effort and difficulty. Build streaks, unlock badges, and climb the weekly leaderboard. Your hard work finally gets the recognition it deserves.

• Works on phone, tablet, and web

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create or join a household
2. Add tasks to the shared pool
3. Pick tasks you want to do and earn points
4. Set weekly targets and track your progress
5. Celebrate achievements together!

NO MORE NAGGING
Tasks speak for themselves: no awkward reminders or passive-aggressive notes needed. Everyone contributes at their own pace.

Clearer, Faster, More Personal

The biggest polish update since the level system launched: a completely re-sorted Overview, clearer cards for Series, Badges and History, plus dozens of detail improvements around tasks, bonus points and push notifications.

New
•	Redesigned Overview — The stats tab is conceptually reorganized
•	Badges & Rewards — A new horizontal journey across all 7 ranks shows at a glance where you are, what's next, and which rewards are configured per rank.
•	Weekly History — Up to 12 weeks as a stacked bar chart: base points up to your goal plus bonus points beyond it, with a goal marker line.
•	Bonus Points Ranking — A dedicated card ranking all household members by accumulated bonus points.
•	Release a task (Unclaim) — Claimed a task but can't do it? The new "Release" button gives it back to the household instantly.
•	Sticky task tabs — The "Mine / Available / Done" tabs stay visible while scrolling; tapping a tab scrolls back to the top.
•	Bonus points in the header — Your accumulated bonus points now appear right next to the streak widget.
•	Level in the Leaderboard — Your level (e.g., L3) is now shown next to your rank icon, colored to match your rank.
•	Improved push opt-in — Soft dashboard nudge for new users, an onboarding step explaining the benefits, an iOS pre-permission dialog before the system prompt, and clear guidance when notifications are blocked in Settings.

Improvements
•	Faster app start: splash screen hides immediately after first render, native preferences are cached.

Bug Fixes
•	iOS push notifications work reliably again (FCM token is now sent instead of the raw APNs token).
•	Current-week points are split correctly across multi-assignee tasks.
•	Next badge is shown correctly in the Weekly Recap again.
•	Recurring tasks: the recurrence pattern is preserved when a task is deleted.
•	Insights: "weeks until next badge" calculation fixed.

Levels, Streaks, Goals & More – the Biggest Update Yet                                           
                                                                                                   
  Levels & Ranks                                                                                   
  Your progress is now reflected in 7 ranks — from Neuling to Legende. Hit your weekly point goal 4
   weeks in a row to level up and rise through the ranks. Your current rank is shown on the        
  leaderboard and your profile.                                                                    
                                                                                                   
  Weekly Goals & Bonus Points                                                                      
  Each household member can have a personal weekly point goal. Exceed it and earn bonus points that
   accumulate over time. The new Bonus tab shows your history across the last 12 weeks.            
                                                            
  Vacation Mode: Pause Goals
  Admins can pause goals for the whole household or individual members — for vacation or illness.  
  While paused, your streak is frozen: no progress, but no reset either.
                                                                                                   
  Unclaim a Task                                            
  Claimed a task but can't do it after all? Tap the new "Release" button to give it back — it
  becomes available for others right away.    
                                          
  Flexible Recurring Tasks
  Daily tasks without a due date stay flexible: no overdue indicator, no reminder. Only tasks with 
  a due date have a hard deadline.            
                                                                                                   
  More Improvements                                         
  - Show/hide password toggle on the login form                                                    
  - Long task descriptions collapse in the task card
  - Redesigned Overview, Profile, and Streak card                                                  
  - Goals & Rewards (admin): set weekly goals and level rewards per member, mark rewards as
  redeemed
  - Various bug fixes and performance improvements

### 1.1.3 — 2026-03-27

New:
- Unified Leaderboard: The household leaderboard now combines weekly and all-time rankings in a single toggleable view, making it easier to compare progress over time.
- Smarter Recurring Tasks: Daily recurring tasks now support flexible scheduling: tasks with a set due date are recreated on the same weekday, while tasks without a due date are always scheduled for the next day.
                                                                    
Bug fixes & improvements:
- Fixed a visual glitch where the status bar area was offset twice on certain iOS devices, causing content to appear too low.
- Fixed an issue where cancelling Sign in with Apple triggered an unnecessary error message. The app now returns cleanly to the login screen.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-03-21
