## What is Nigh?

Nigh is the GPS-based departure planner that makes sure you're never late again.

Tell Nigh where you're going and when you need to be there. It handles the rest — calculating travel time from your current location, factoring in your get-ready routine, and accounting for real-time traffic conditions.

FEATURES

• Smart Departure Pipeline — Nigh builds a personalized timeline: head home → get ready → leave → arrive. Each stage is tracked in real time.

• Live Activity & Dynamic Island — See your departure countdown right on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Watch the progress bar fill through each stage without opening the app.

• GPS-Aware — Nigh knows if you're at home, away, or already ready. It automatically adjusts your departure timeline based on where you are.

• Real-Time Traffic Updates — Travel time estimates update continuously using Apple Maps traffic data. If conditions change, your timeline shifts instantly.

• Smart Notifications — Get alerts at key milestones: 1 hour, 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes. A live countdown with seconds appears when it's almost time to leave.

• One-Tap Navigation — Launch Apple Maps directions to home or your destination directly from the Live Activity.

• On-Time Metrics — Track your departure history. See your on-time percentage by category, identify patterns, and get smart suggestions to improve.

• Traffic Insights — Nigh detects when your routes have unpredictable traffic and suggests buffer adjustments.

• Calendar Import — Pull events from your iOS calendar with one tap. Locations and times are pre-filled.

• Event Categories — Work, school, appointments, social, fitness — each with custom icons and tracking.

• Arrive-Early Buffer — Set per-event buffers (5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes) for events where being early matters.

• CloudKit Sync — Your events and settings sync across all your devices.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-04-21

What's new in 1.0.8?
- Critical fix that doesn't allow ads to be played or free users to claim rewards to gain premium features.
- While AdMob acclimates, retries to get ad rewards should result in partial reward without needing to get the ad to load.
- Address picker now has interactive map view.
- Trip portions of events now use direct MapKit trip data rather than predetermined trip with periodic data refresh.
- New API controlled feature toggles (Developer facing control systems to help with feature rollout and troubleshooting)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-04-20

Nigh 1.0.7 — What's New

Smarter departure pipeline

Per-leg transport modes: pick driving, walking, transit, or cycling for the head-home vs. trip-to-event segments independently
Progress bar now glides smoothly between ETA polls instead of stepping, with rubber-band tension as your leave time approaches
The departure card prioritizes the event whose prep window is actually live — if something is still in progress, it no longer blocks the countdown for your next commitment
Recurring events, done right

Visibility, Live Activity auto-dismiss, and the home card all respect each occurrence's actual end time — long meetings no longer disappear mid-session and one-off late events correctly roll to the next scheduled occurrence
"Keep events for X min after they end" slider in Settings now behaves exactly as described, on every surface
Metrics & unlocks

Watching a rewarded ad for Metrics, Live Activity, Advanced Scheduler, or Calendar Import now flips access instantly — no app restart
Unlock-status cards render at a uniform height; remaining time is baked into the action button
Location permission recovery

Denied location previously showed a cryptic status string. Now: a tappable "Fix GPS" chip that jumps straight into your iOS Settings page for Nigh
Home layout

Tighter vertical spacing: the subscribe upgrade CTA now sits inline with the Up Next / A-Z picker, freeing room for more events and the ad surfaces below
Plus tier sees "Remove ads — from $6.99"; Free sees "Subscribe — from $3.99"; Premium sees neither
Ads (Free & Plus tiers)

Native ad cards properly bind the required main-media view — validator-clean and serving full inventory
Headline and body text now wrap instead of truncating
Bottom banner added to the Metrics tab (uses a dedicated ad unit so Home vs. Metrics performance reports independently)
Fixes

Alert popup no longer renders as a stray speech bubble anchored to a random event row
Event-edit dismiss no longer smooths progress for 30 seconds
Time-sensitive notifications now respect the proper entitlement
Lock screen timer rendering stabilized on AOD (always-on display) states

### 1.0.6 — 2026-04-18

What's New in 1.0.6

Critical fixes:
• Fixed ETA not reflecting your chosen transport mode (walking,
  transit, cycling) on the home card and Live Activity — background
  ETA refreshes were silently reverting to driving times
• Live Activity and Dynamic Island now refresh correctly when a
  recurring event rolls over to its next occurrence — previously
  they could stay stuck showing stale times indefinitely
• Fixed Live Activity countdowns showing the wrong (driving-time)
  value after switching transport modes mid-event
• "Running behind" and "Late" timers now update in real time as
  traffic changes — they were previously frozen at the value
  computed when the trip started
• Dismiss button now actually ends the event and advances to your
  next upcoming event (or next occurrence for recurring events)
• Event visibility setting (Settings → "Keep event after end") now
  works correctly in the background too — long meetings no longer
  auto-dismiss mid-event
• Fixed a rare launch crash that affected some users after upgrading
• Lock-screen Live Activity timers no longer freeze during Always-On
  Display — refresh every minute reliably even if a push is deferred
• Widget no longer shows a blank card on narrow Dynamic Island
  layouts
• Corrected the "Arriving in / Head home in" label so it matches
  your actual stage during an active drive
• Fixed truncated text in the "Update available" notice

New in this version:
• Pick a transport mode for each event — driving, walking, transit,
  or cycling. Set different modes for the ride home vs the trip
  to your destination
• Smoother, steadier progress bar that tracks real driving motion
• Redesigned home screen: active trip card stays pinned while
  upcoming events scroll below
• At-a-glance status pills show rewarded-unlock time remaining on
  each premium feature
• New Rewards hub — watch a rewarded ad to unlock premium features
  for 24 hours, or (on Plus) go ad-free for a few hours
• Past one-time events automatically appear in Previous Events so
  you can re-fire them without recreating from scratch
• Update prompts let you know when a new version is available
• Tap an empty "No upcoming events" card to jump straight into
  creating one
• Polish and stability fixes across the dashboard, Live Activity,
  settings, and paywall screens

### 1.0.5 — 2026-04-17

Big reliability + accuracy update:

• ETA now stays consistent between the Live Activity and the in-app card. No more different times on the lock screen vs the app.
• "Late" and "Early" numbers freeze the moment you arrive — no more wrong numbers ticking up after you're already there.
• "You're late" reminders stop firing the instant you arrive so you don't get a false alert after the arrival confirmation.
• Mid-trip timing is steadier — reroutes at intersections no longer jerk the countdown backward.
• Dynamic Island and CarPlay show the right icon for what you're doing: house when heading home, car when driving, flag on arrival.
• New "Unusual Arrival" review in Metrics lets you keep or skip outliers in your on-time average.
• Smoother Plus / Premium feature handling — recurring events you made on a paid plan stay safely on file if your access ever pauses and come right back when it resumes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-04-16

- Added previous events feature to quickly produce old event entries again. (benefits free tier users so they do not need to manually enter events fully to create a repeat)
- Fixed timing bugs with live activity launches not appearing.
- Added ability to dismiss any event if triggered. (choose to let it log to metrics or not)
- Added active tags to currently presented events.
- Known issues are multiple event notifications if editing an event within its current event window. (workaround by creating an event correctly or editing well outside of its active window)
