### 1.5.0 — 2026-05-23

Pulslab 1.5 — the biggest update yet.

PHOTOS & WORKOUTS ON THE MAP
A live map right on the overview shows your photos AND workout routes
of the day. Tap to open the full map. Tapping a photo cluster zooms in
three clear steps: pan in, all the way, fan photos out (Apple
spiderfier style).

RADIUS SEARCH — RECALL THE PAST
What did you do at this spot before? Pulslab searches your Apple Photos
and Apple Health archive for photos AND workout routes inside a cyan
search circle (100 m – 20 km). Filter by year, "hide today", workout
list with tap-to-detail.

TRIM A WORKOUT
Car drive before the hike ruining your pace? Trim the start or end of
a workout. The original stays untouched; the trimmed part appears as
a new sample in Apple Health — map included. Live preview with dual
slider and ± / ±± steppers.

MET (METABOLIC EQUIVALENTS)
WHO standard activity values (MET-min) on the overview. Trends for
week/month/year with intensity zones (light/moderate/vigorous/hard).

WORKOUT VIDEOS — MAPLIBRE
Second render engine MapLibre + Esri Imagery alongside Mapbox,
switchable per workout project.

VITAL SIGNS PER NIGHT
Heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, SpO₂ per night —
classified against your personal 30-night baseline.

WORKOUT NOTIFICATIONS
Local push when a new workout lands in Apple Health.

Plus: new detail sheets for HRV, VO₂ max, HR zones and splits,
activity and sleep calendars, multi-merge for several workouts at
once, standalone FIT viewer, share card with Mapbox styles,
wellbeing cards in a consistent look, full settings reorganisation,

### 1.4.0 — 2026-05-12

Pulslab 1.4 — the big water and Apple Watch update.

APPLE WATCH APP
• Standalone watchOS app with HRV and Water tabs
• HRV complication in four sizes for your watch face
• Water complication showing current and daily goal
• +/- buttons directly on watch, syncs instantly to iPhone

WATER TRACKING
• Fully integrated with Apple Health (read and write)

• Reminders with quick-action buttons (+100/+250/+500 ml)
• Workout bonus: extra recommendation after intense sessions
• Configurable step size and reminder interval

REFINED SLEEP SCORE
• Duration, regularity and interruptions now use smooth curves instead of hard buckets — no more jumps between 60 and 61 min of deviation
• Values track Apple's own Sleep Score much more closely

MORE ACCURATE VITAL SIGNS
• Heart rate, breathing and SpO₂ are now averaged across the actual sleep window only — no skew from fall-asleep and wake periods
• Wrist temperature shows up more reliably
• Classification less trigger-happy on "High"/"Low" for stable sleepers

WORKOUT DETAIL
• Heart rate values are also pulled from the workout's time range when the recording app didn't attach samples directly (typical for externally imported rides)
• Shared workouts open directly in the detail view after import
• Per-workout water recommendation chip in the overview

WORKOUT VIDEOS
• Elevation chart width now pixel-consistent — no more breathing with highlight count
• Walking/Hiking default playback now 1× — more natural pace for walks
• Terrain exaggeration default back to 1.5 — more realistic on flat routes

Plus many smaller fixes around appearance, water target sync between iPhone and Watch, and energy-level color coding.

Pulslab 1.3 — new map styles, smoother workout videos, honest stress numbers.

WORKOUT VIDEOS
• New map styles Light and Dark — with auto-monochrome pins
• Real shadows on 3D maps (hillshade) — mountains look plastic
• Improved photo timing: image appears right at the pin, camera eases out
• Breathing room at the end: last highlights and photos stay visible
• Route color indicator in the top-right HUD (heart / speedo / mountain / arrow / bolt)
• Better render time prediction and gentler memory use on long tours

WORKOUT DETAIL

• Default range: last 30 days
