What's New in Satoru

1.2

August 10, 2026

Fixes throughout, from two full reviews of the app: one across the whole codebase, and one focused on the Apple Watch and widgets. Apple Watch • A check-in made after you switch accounts now lands in the account you are signed into, rather than the one you signed out of. • Check-ins for days you had not opened in a while are no longer lost. • The watch refreshes when you raise your wrist instead of showing an older value. • Breathing sessions now mark the day as Meditated, the same way meditation does. Everywhere else • Creating an account, signing back in, and restoring an encrypted backup are all more reliable. • Journal sessions and meditations land on today rather than on a day you were browsing. • Guide conversations survive a lost connection instead of disappearing. • The check-in sheet follows along as you fill it in, and closes itself when you are done. • Your mood stays hidden on the lock screen widget until you unlock. • History and Insights keep up as you add entries.

Daily Game Changer

I've added Satoru into my morning coffee and nightly wind-down routines. Honestly, it’s a total game-changer.

Instead of staring at a blank screen trying to figure out what to write, I get to actually chat through my day with AI guides modeled after Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, or a CBT coach. Sitting down with a "Morning Intention" really locks in my mindset for the day, and doing an "Evening Reflection" before sleep is the best way to clear my head. It’s private, zero pressure, and has hands-down become the favorite part of my daily routine.
