## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 108.10.17 — 2026-10-18

- Prostration detection reworked again: replaced the pace-adaptive segment detector with a gravity-axis peak counter for more consistent counting.
- Settings now shows the detected wrist (left/right); crown orientation is normalized automatically so detection works the same on either wrist.
- Removed the help text promising pace-adaptive detection, since detection is no longer pace-based.
- Added a Calibrate flow on the watch: record a short sample of known prostrations, send it to the phone, and get personalized counting thresholds back.
- Added a Reset calibration option in Settings.
- Added opt-in feedback recording: record a sample on the watch and email it to the developer from phone Settings to help diagnose counting issues.
- The number of prostrations used for calibration and feedback recordings is now configurable in Settings (was fixed at 18).
- Fixed calibration hanging forever on "Sending to iPhone" if the transfer stalled; it now times out after 15 seconds and reports failure.
- The watch's Finish Recording button now responds immediately; saving the recording no longer blocks the UI.
- Tapping Start recording twice, or while the session is still starting, no longer double-starts tracking.
- The first-start hint in the log now points you to calibration and feedback sending if counting doesn't look right.
- Counting during the practice now uses a HealthKit workout session instead of a generic background session, so it keeps sampling motion reliably once the display dims or locks.
- Fixed a race where tapping Start twice, or tapping it while the Health permission prompt was still pending, could start tracking twice and double-count reps.
- Fixed silent failures when the workout session couldn't start or Health access was denied; you now see an explanation instead of tracking silently failing.
- Session tracking now stays in sync if the system ends the workout session unexpectedly.
- Added a confirmation bar when finishing a session, with Resume and Finish options; the manual +/- buttons are hidden while it's shown.
- Renamed the confirmation bar's dismiss button from "Cancel" to "Resume" for clarity, and moved it to the top of the bar.
- Added German translation for the Health permission prompts.
- Finishing a session now saves it to Health as a Mind and Body workout with its duration, so the HealthKit access is also a real fitness feature, not just a background-tracking aid.

### 108.10.07 — 2026-10-07

- Prostration detection reworked: switched to a double-integrated acceleration gate and tuned debounce/thresholds for more reliable counting across different practice speeds
- A prostration now counts at the bottom of the bow (descent), not when you rise back up
- Detection now adapts to your own pace after 5 reps, and that pace carries over into your next session
- Manual +1 taps now also feed into pace detection
- Settings shows the detected pace ("Detection interval"); shows a placeholder until 5 reps are recorded
- Haptic feedback switched to vibration-only (no audible tone)
- Settings split into separate Prostration and App settings screens
- Added a Done button to dismiss the keyboard in Settings

### 108.10.06 — 2026-10-06

- Prostration detection now uses wrist orientation (gravity) instead of acceleration spikes, reducing false positives and missed counts.
- Raised the minimum bow depth required to count a prostration, filtering out shallow movements.
- Added +/- buttons on the Watch to manually correct the count during a session.
- Fixed a bug where manual count corrections were overwritten by motion detection.
- Significantly strengthened haptic feedback, including a triple pulse when a session target is reached.
- Added haptic settings (pulses per count, vibrate-on-target toggle, session target) that sync from iPhone to Watch.
- Added a toggle to opt out of the "support the developer" prompt.
- The donation banner is now hidden when that prompt is disabled.
- Settings moved behind a gear icon; added a help modal.
- Fixed the default goal not defaulting correctly to 111,111.
- Replaced HKWorkoutSession with WKExtendedRuntimeSession for more reliable background tracking on Watch.
- Settings now shows the app version at the bottom.
- Updated App Store screenshots to match the current UI.
