What's New in Oru
1.4.1
October 13, 2026
This update is about a gentler first week with Oru. • A shorter welcome. New users see a few short cards, and Oru explains why it would like Health access before asking. Calendar and Location are asked for only when you open the part of the app that uses them. • Your first insight, sooner. If you're new, Oru writes your first insight after your second journal entry (or one longer entry) instead of waiting for the end of the week. A short check-in follows a few days later, when you write again. This uses Oru's AI features, which you can turn off in Profile. • Daily reminders, if you want them. One gentle nudge a day, at a time you choose. No streaks. Change the time or turn them off anytime in Profile. • Fewer stuck screens. Saving waits for your photos to finish uploading, journal analysis and the daily briefing no longer spin forever, and Diary tasks, goals and timers are more reliable, with Retry when something goes wrong.
