## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-14

Refresher 1.4.0

• Music guidance — instead of a voice, each phase of your breath can be a single sustained note. Pick voice, music, both or silence at the start of every session, right next to your visualization
• Community — a new tab with a worldwide feed, friends, and a leaderboard among people you actually know. Everything stays opt-in, and you can report or block anyone
• Your public nickname is now yours to see and change, from Settings
• Streak freezes are now something you earn and hold, and one is spent automatically when life gets in the way
• Premium is free in Belarus, where the App Store cannot take payment
• Fixes throughout: blocking now sticks, leaderboards no longer show each other's numbers, and Settings follows the language you picked in the app

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-05

Refresher 1.3.1

• The Community feed is now open to everyone — watch the worldwide feed without joining. Sharing your own sessions still takes one tap, and is still entirely your choice
• Fixed: every leaderboard showed the same score. Weekly Minutes, Weekly Sessions and Monthly Minutes each show their own number again
• Fixed: joining the community from the Friends tab never finished, so those accounts stayed invisible to everyone
• A leaderboard that fails to load now tells you so, instead of quietly leaving another board's result on screen

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-04

Refresher 1.3.0

• Premium is now free to try by use, not by clock: your first sessions include premium voices, visualizations and session customization, and full statistics stay open through your first ten minutes-long sessions
• New Statistics chart: your breathing minutes as a trend line, switchable between the last 12 weeks and the last 12 months
• The completion screen now waits for you — pick up your phone and tap to reveal it, so you actually see the closing animation
• New users start with a premium visualization and voice, so you can hear and see what Premium feels like
• Fixed: the weekly report opened and closed itself in about a second, and could not be reopened for the rest of the week
• Fixed: your theme could be repainted by another device a few seconds after launch
• A quiet notice when a newer version is on the App Store

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-08

Refresher 1.2.0

A big stability and polish release.

• Reliability: fixed a rare cold-launch crash, more dependable iCloud preference sync, and hardened data integrity across services
• Refined breathing session screen
• Smoother onboarding flow
• Achievements & Learn: fixed badges being re-granted after a reset, plus celebration-overlay flicker and scroll jumps
• Settings: Default technique now sits above Experience mode; volume sliders save only when you let go
• German & Portuguese translation fixes throughout
• Broader automated test coverage under the hood

Please test: a full breathing session on each technique, onboarding on a fresh install, the Achievements/Learn tabs, and switching the app language. Share feedback through the in-app form or the TestFlight feedback link. Thanks for testing!

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-29

Refresher 1.1.0

• New Learn section with short breathing basics and visual guidance
• Technique descriptions now include visual guides and unread indicators
• New learning badges for reading articles and technique pages
• Premium preview and statistics paywall placement refinements
• Improved compact-device breathing layout and dark-mode screenshot flow

Thanks for testing! Please share feedback through the in-app form or the TestFlight feedback link.
