## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-09-15

Introducing MindAnchor Pro — a one-time unlock (no subscription) for voice dictation in Brain Dump, the full ambient sound library, print & export, and more than one repeating MIT or Planner block at a time. Everything else stays free, forever.

Also in this update:
• Simpler navigation: four tabs (Today, Planner, MITs, Brain Dump) plus a new More menu for Check-ins, Re-center, and Settings.
• Brain Dump is less cluttered — tap the pencil to write a new note instead of an always-open composer.
• A refreshed app icon.
• Small fixes and polish throughout.

### 2.0 — 2026-09-10

MindAnchor is a focus app built for ADHD brains — the ones that lose
the thread between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Most planners assume you'll remember to check them. MindAnchor assumes
you won't.

TODAY SHOWS YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW
Open the app and you see one thing: what you're in the middle of, with
a timer running, and the single thing that comes after it. Not a wall
of tasks. Stretch a block by five minutes when you need it, or stop
early and carry the leftover time forward.

THREE TASKS, NOT THIRTY
Pick up to three Most Important Tasks a day. Give one a start time and
it reminds you, on your phone and your Apple Watch. Make it repeat
daily, every other day, or on the days you choose, and it comes back
on its own at the same time. Each day starts fresh — anything
unfinished returns as a suggestion instead of quietly piling up.

BRAIN DUMP NOW, SORT IT LATER
Get it out of your head first and decide what it is second. Capture by
typing or dictating, tag as Work, Home or Later, and turn any note
into a task or a planner block with one tap. Deleted something you
needed? It's recoverable. Print or export just the notes you're
looking at.

PLAN A WEEK AT A TIME
Build focus blocks with a start time and a length, repeat them across
the week, and sync them to your real calendar if you want them there.
Blocks alert you when they start, with a heads-up beforehand. Snooze
ten minutes or skip, straight from your wrist.

CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF
Three quick check-ins a day, answered Good, OK or Rough in a single
tap — from your watch, without unlocking your phone. See how the week
has gone at a glance.

RE-CENTER WHEN IT GETS LOUD
A breathing exercise with a real in, hold, out rhythm, and ambient
sound if you want it. Pick a length and let it run.

IT WORKS ON YOUR APPLE WATCH
There's no separate watch app to install. Reminders and check-ins
arrive on your wrist, and you can answer them there.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
MindAnchor keeps everything locally. Calendar access is optional, you
choose which calendars it reads, and you see exactly what it does
before iOS asks for permission.
