April 14, 2026
This release introduces a new adaptive home screen, now set as the default tab when you open the app. The full orders list remains available under the Browse tab. The home screen's hero section switches between three modes based on recent activity: Breaking for newly issued high-impact orders, This Week for a summary of the current week's orders, and Perspective for longer-term context during quieter periods. Also on the home screen: • Activity Pulse sparkline showing executive order volume over the year, with per-week impact markers and a running total • Topic Trend treemap showing the distribution of topic clusters over the last 30 days; tap any topic to browse orders in that area • Condensed order cards for weeks with 3+ orders per day to reduce vertical space Other changes: • Bottom sheets now account for the home indicator on iPhone 16 Pro and newer • Updated filter cluster icons for better visual distinction
