Sofa: Downtime Organizer

Hey gang, I hope you're ready for some goodies! ============================ WHAT'S NEW ============================ - You can now add a note to any session. Tap a session in History (or use Edit Details) and jot down what happened: "Beat the first boss", "Read on the train". The note shows right under the session's date in History. It works for Simple Counter and Quick Log sessions, and when you stop a timer or log a past session. - Group and list sort order on the Lists tab now syncs across all your devices. - Search now marks things you already have with a small checkmark on the artwork and shows where they are ("In 'Movies'", "In Enjoying", "Following"). Nothing is hidden, so you can still add them to another list. ============================ CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS ============================ CARPLAY - There's now a speed button on the far left of the Now Playing screen. Each tap moves to the next speed: 1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, 1.8x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x. If you listen at a speed that isn't on that list, it's included too, so you can always get back to it. If a show has its own speed setting, the change goes to that show. - The CarPlay toggle now updates a show's own Voice Boost setting instead of the global one, and the icon stays accurate when you change Voice Boost on your phone. ============================ BUG FIXES ============================ - Podcasts you don't follow could show up more than once in Unfollowed Podcasts. This happened if you opened a show from Search more than once and played, queued or logged its episodes. If you already have duplicates, long-press the extras and choose Delete Permanently. - The podcast player's artwork briefly jumping in size when opening it on iPhone Duo's outer display. - Fixed the Lock Screen and Control Center sometimes showing "Loading…" with no artwork while a podcast was playing. - Fixed resuming a podcast after a long pause sometimes playing the first second or two of the episode before jumping back to your spot. - Fixed TV episodes showing up out of order or missing after a show renumbers its episodes. Affected shows fix themselves the next time they refresh. ============================ NEW IN v5.4 ============================ IPHONE DUO Sofa is ready with full support for iPhone Duo. PODCAST PLAYER REDESIGN The podcast player has a fresh new look. It morphs open from the mini player, takes its colors from the episode's artwork, and keeps Up Next, Chapters and Notes right inside. Playback is smarter about what comes next, Voice Boost is improved, and feeds refresh and download overnight while charging. PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS Read along with your podcasts. If a show publishes a transcript, it's right there in the player. If it doesn't, Sofa can make one itself, entirely on your device: tap Generate, or let it quietly transcribe your downloaded episodes overnight while your phone charges. Either way, a live highlight follows along word by word as you listen, so you never lose your place. SESSIONS Ever wonder how long that book really took you, or how many hours you've sunk into a game? Now Sofa can tell you. Each time you log progress, add how long you spent and how far you got, in pages, chapters or whatever fits, and Sofa keeps a running total for every item. If you'd rather not estimate, start a timer when you sit down and stop it when you're done. It stays in view across the app, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so pausing for a snack is one tap. STATS & LOGBOOK Your sessions now show up in Stats and the Logbook. Books, Games, Music and Custom Category Stats get a Sessions section with time spent, totals for each unit and a weekly chart, and Logbook rows show session totals at a glance. ============================ As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback.
