## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.32.0 — 2026-08-23

Find someone at a glance

Birthdays and hazkarot are now grouped by when they fall: Today, This week, This month, then month by month. The heading stays on screen as you scroll, and each row shows on the right how much time is left — “in 3 d” rather than a date to work out in your head.

• Search by first name, and by relationship for birthdays: “son” brings up all your children.
• Today's birthday or azcara stands out in colour.
• Every row carries the first letter of the name, in Hebrew as in Latin script.

The relationship is now picked from a list — son, daughter, grandfather, friend… — translated into all three languages of the app. Anything you typed in by hand is kept.

And the First name field opens straight onto the Hebrew keyboard, so the name verse works out without any fiddling.

### 1.24.2 — 2026-08-18

Groundwork

A chain's invitation links now carry an extra piece of information, which will soon be used to better protect access to your chains.

Nothing changes in how you use the app: you share and join exactly as before, and links you've already sent keep working.

### 1.23.2 — 2026-08-18

See what's coming at a glance

On the Home screen, the Tehilim chain, Hazkara (119) and Birthday cards now show a badge when something needs your attention.

• Birthdays and azkarot falling within the next seven days.
• Chains still in progress.

It isn't an inventory: the badge doesn't count what you've saved, it flags what's coming up. Nothing to flag, no badge — Home stays quiet.

Those seven days are the same window as the app's reminders: what the badge announces, the notification will repeat.

### 1.22.0 — 2026-08-11

Every reading setting in one place

A single “Aa” icon at the top of the screen now gathers everything that shapes the text:

• Text size.
• Hebrew or phonetic, in one tap.
• Translation.
• Commentaries (Rashi, Metzudat David).

Until now these were split between two toolbar buttons and the Settings screen, two screens away from your reading.

Translation now stays on. It used to switch itself off as soon as you moved to the next Tehilim — the setting only applied to the open page. It now follows you from one Tehilim to the next, and from one session to the next.

### 1.21.0 — 2026-08-11

How long it takes

Reading time now appears while you're choosing, not only once a Tehilim is open.

• In the lists: each Tehilim's length next to its verse count — “28 verses · ~2 min”.
• In the Books tab: the length of a whole book — “Book 1 · 1–41 · ~44 min”.
• In Today: the day's total at the top of “On the schedule”, plus the length of each Tehilim.

The total follows your reading mode. That's where it helps most: in the monthly cycle, day 25 holds a single Tehilim — but it's 119, and it takes about 9 minutes. The count alone never said so.

Fix: on a chain's screen, the participant list no longer makes the screen slide sideways.
