What's New in Scroll Patrol
2.0
October 6, 2026
Scroll Patrol has been entirely rebuilt! EXERCISE DETECTION, REDONE Rep counting no longer uses a third-party service. It now runs entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework — faster, private, and free of any external dependency. Push-ups, squats, jumping jacks and planks are supported, each with a guided setup step so the camera can actually see you before counting starts. SEE YOUR TIME RUNNING DOWN Patrolled apps now show how many minutes they have left, with a warning a minute before they lock. ADDING TIME NOW ADDS Giving an app more time tops up whatever is already there instead of replacing it. The screen shows the sum as you go: what is left, what you are adding, and what the app ends up with. A NEW LOOK Every screen has been redesigned around one idea — your balance is the number that matters. The whole app now supports Dynamic Type, so it finally respects your text size setting. FIXES • Fixed minute accounting that could charge you twice, or not at all • Fixed streaks counting a day you had skipped • Fixed exercise history being lost in some cases • Corrected the plank reward rate display
