## What is Worry Stone?

Worry Stone is a tactile pocket ritual for quiet moments. Rub a digital stone, feel haptic texture, choose from crafted stone surfaces, and keep private notes about moments you want to remember.

Version 1.5 adds Settling Curve: after an eight-second hold, the app measures how your thumb motion slowed, when it reached stillness, and which stone settles you first. The read is motion-only. It is not a mood score, a health metric, or a clinical tool.

The app is designed around small, intentional use:
- Settling Curve — on-device motion analysis of each hold, with a curve, time-to-stillness, and a ranking of stones
- A tactile stone surface with haptic feedback and subtle wear that builds over time
- Ritual Planner for choosing a short local plan from your intent, time window, and energy
- Guided breathing patterns with animated stone expansion and optional timers
- Reflections with private moment notes, local trends, streaks, and stone history
- Stone drawer with 20 hand-tuned stones across smooth, glossy, translucent, pitted, and beaded textures
- Lore cards, giftable stone files, share cards, local backup/restore, widgets, and Live Activity support
- Ambient sound options and daily reminders you can enable or leave off

Everything is local-first. Your notes, history, settings, gifts, backups, measured holds, and planner choices stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. The app does not require an account, location, camera, contacts, or a network connection for its main features.

Worry Stone is a lifestyle and reflection tool for personal journaling and tactile interaction, not for clinical or emergency use.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-19

Hold a stone for eight seconds and Worry Stone measures how your thumb motion slowed: a curve, time-to-stillness, steadiness, and which stone settles you first. It measures motion only — never mood, never health. Open Settling Curve from the curve icon on the stone screen, or tap the read that appears after a hold.

Ritual Planner, guided breathing, reflections, gifting, local backup, widgets, and Live Activity remain.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-30

Reflections — a quiet look back at your time with the stones. The moments you've captured are laid out on a simple 14-day chart, alongside a few gentle counts: days with a moment, your current streak, and roughly how long you've settled. You can search your past moments or filter them by stone, and see which stone you reach for most. Nothing is scored or shamed.

Daily reminder — an optional, gentle nudge once a day to take a quiet minute with your stone. Pick the time that suits you. It is a local notification scheduled on your device; nothing is sent from anywhere.

Backup and restore — gather everything Worry Stone keeps on your phone — your sessions, your captured moments, gifted stones, and your settings — into one small file. AirDrop it to a new phone or keep it in Files, then restore it whenever you like. It is plain, readable data that you choose to share. As always, nothing leaves your phone unless you send it.
