What's New in Tempo
1.1.3
September 8, 2026
A quiet one — no new visualizations this time, just fixes and polish throughout. Tempo also picks better moments to ask how you are getting on: after a timer finishes, or once you have spent a while watching one of the automatic scales. It will not interrupt you while something else is already open.
