Thanks for using TimeBarX! ### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-14 What’s New • Maintenance release with under-the-hood stability and performance improvements. • Added support for iOS X 27. • Control your timer from anywhere: Add TimeBarX to Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button to start, stop, pause, and resume your countdown with a single tap. Requires iOS 18. • Widgets: Widget buttons now work directly in place without opening the app. Requires iOS 17. • Never miss the end: “Time’s up” alerts can now break through Focus and Do Not Disturb. • Apple Watch: Running timers now appear automatically in the Smart Stack. • Double Tap: On Apple Watch, Double Tap now does the obvious thing on every screen — start, pause, resume, or begin the next Pomodoro phase. Thanks for using TimeBarX! ### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-11 What’s New • Apple Watch: Choose a full-screen progress fill (left-to-right or bottom-up) instead of the ring, and turn the Snooze button and count-up timer on or off in Settings. The completion screen no longer clips its buttons, the progress ring now respects Reduce Motion, and the Apple Watch app is fully translated in all supported languages. Thanks for using TimeBarX! ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-08 What’s New TimeBarX now works on your Apple Watch. • Apple Watch app: Start a timer right from your wrist using the Digital Crown, choose from your presets, and watch your progress ring fill. Add a complication to your favorite watch face for quick access and launch the app with a tap. • Everything stays in sync: Start a timer on your iPhone or Mac and it automatically appears on your Apple Watch. Pause, resume, and stop actions stay in sync across your devices. • Pro is shared across all your devices: If you already own TimeBarX Pro on your Mac or iPhone, it’s automatically unlocked on your Apple Watch too - no extra purchase needed. Thanks for using TimeBarX! ### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-07 What’s New Overtime - see how far past zero you’ve run. • When a timer ends, TimeBarX now keeps counting up on the completion screen instead of stopping. Finish what you’re doing and still see how much extra time you’ve taken. Overtime is also saved to your Focus History. • Completion sounds now play reliably when a timer finishes. • The Home Screen widget now stays in sync with the app. • Auto-Pause now works as expected - when enabled, the timer pauses when your iPhone is face-down or idle. • Every screen is now fully translated in all supported languages, including Siri responses, Lock Screen actions, and VoiceOver labels.
