Version 1.0.0 build 77 · June 2026
- Your AI coach now knows the date and time. The coach is told the exact current date and time on every message, so it treats today as today — no more answering about "yesterday's" data as if it were still yesterday — and can keep track of timing within a conversation ("this morning" vs "just now").
- Apple Watch: a smoother first run. If you've got an Apple Watch you'll see a one-time "Set up your Apple Watch" card and a tour step covering the single step you do once (open the watch app, allow Health) — after which sessions start on your wrist automatically. The first phone-started session now prompts for Health on the watch itself, so live heart rate works from the very first try.
- The daily AI message count refreshes properly overnight. The "messages left today" indicator now updates as soon as you reopen the coach on a new day, instead of occasionally showing yesterday's number until you sent a message.
Version 1.0.0 build 76 · June 2026
- Reach your goal — and get the choice, not just confetti. When you hit your target weight, Strathlon still celebrates, but now it also asks what's next: lock it in with Maintenance, set a new goal, or keep going. It shows up the moment you hit your goal — whether that's at the end of a plan or partway through — so you're never left quietly dieting past the finish line.
Version 1.0.0 build 75 · June 2026
- Your plan adapts when your time's up but your goal isn't. When a plan reaches the end of its weeks, the finish screen now looks at how you actually did. Hit your goal? It celebrates and points you to Maintenance. Close but not there? It offers to keep going with a fresh block sized to exactly what's left — recalculating your calories and tightening the training. Stalled? It says so honestly and offers to extend and tighten, or to ask your AI coach what to change.
Version 1.0.0 build 74 · June 2026
- Log bodyweight exercises. Moves with no added load — dips, pull-ups, push-ups — can now be saved with a weight of 0. Enter 0 and it's recorded and shown as "bodyweight" rather than "0 kg".
- The "Plan complete" message stops nagging. Once you've dismissed it, it stays dismissed — it won't pop back when you reopen the app or install a new build, and it won't interrupt you mid-set. (It only returns if you genuinely start a new plan.)
- A clearer "clear conversation" in the AI coach. The coach's reset now reads as starting a fresh chat, with a quick confirm so you can't wipe a conversation by accident. Your coach already forgets older messages on its own as you chat.
Version 1.0.0 build 73 · June 2026
- Run your whole workout from your wrist. Once a session is going, your Apple Watch shows the current exercise, your set ("Set 2 of 4") and the rep target with one big button — tap Done and your phone logs the set and starts your rest countdown; a tap during rest skips it. It carries you from warm-up through every set and rest to your HIIT finisher, so you never reach for your phone. (Premium, with an Apple Watch — the app works fully on its own too.)
- Your coach calls out every rep. The voice coach now says the rep target at the start of each exercise and set — "Bench press. Set 1 of 4 — 8 reps" — read live from your plan, so it always matches and updates as your plan progresses.
- Your AI coach now knows your whole plan and your day. The coach reads your real macros eaten and the foods you've logged straight from your Tracker (no more guessing), and it now understands your full programme — every phase, today's actual exercises, and how you're tracking to date. Your weight and body data stay private unless you've shared Health data.
Version 1.0.0 build 72 · June 2026
- Your Apple Watch, free. Start a session on your phone and Strathlon now starts the workout on your Apple Watch automatically — even if the watch app is closed — streaming your live heart rate with no taps on your wrist. Each block (warm-up, strength, HIIT) is logged to the Apple Workout app as its own correctly-titled workout with calories and duration. And it's all free with any Apple Watch — no subscription needed.
- Heart rate you can read at a glance. Your live heart rate is now a bold two-colour cue — red when you're at or above target, bright amber when you're below — the same in warm-up, the gym and HIIT, whether the reading comes from your watch or Apple Health.
- A clearer weight chart. The Daily / Weekly / Monthly control now always matches what the chart is showing (no more opening full-screen on the wrong view), and you can drag sideways to scroll across your timeline.
Version 1.0.0 build 70 · June 2026
- Your voice coach finishes the workout properly — and knows what's next. When you finish your main session, the coach now congratulates you and teas up your HIIT finisher, instead of just saying "choose your next exercise". It's aware of the rest of your day too: if you've got a match, a hard sport session or a long walk later, it suggests easing off the HIIT — or offers a one-tap lighter version to save your legs. And after HIIT, if there's more to come, it nudges you to ask your AI coach about recovery and meals, with a quick button that pre-fills the question (you review and send) and quietly disappears after ten seconds.
- Clearer manual weight entry. The weight box on the manual day-entry screen now has an (i) explaining that weight auto-syncs from Apple Health where available — including for past dates — and that you can just type to override it for that day.
Version 1.0.0 build 69 · June 2026
- Your readiness-check answers stick. In More → Health & Safety, the readiness check now remembers your answers between visits — including when you've answered "No" to everything — so when you reopen it your selections are still there instead of looking blank. Your answers stay on your device only and are never shared with the AI coach.
Version 1.0.0 build 68 · June 2026
- Weight chart opens on your latest data. The chart now opens showing your most recent weigh-ins (you can still scroll back through history), instead of starting on the oldest stretch.
- Your Apple Health weight history comes back. Strathlon now re-imports your weight history from Apple Health, so if your chart was looking sparse it repopulates with your synced weigh-ins — and keeps picking up new ones from your scale automatically. (Read-only, stays on your device.)
Version 1.0.0 build 67 · June 2026
- Health & Safety is now its own section. Your readiness check and the optional "relationship with food" questions now live together under a dedicated Health & Safety entry in the More tab — clearly grouped and easy to find, instead of buried in Settings.
- Fixed: your answers there now save. Answering the "relationship with food" questions (including a deliberate "No") now persists properly — it no longer resets to blank when you leave and come back. Those answers stay private on your device and are never sent anywhere.
Version 1.0.0 build 66 · June 2026
- Today's weight shows on the chart straight away. If Apple Health already has today's weight, it now appears on your weight chart (and in your history) automatically — no need to re-enter or save it first.
- History reads newest-first. In Tracker → History, each month now lists days with the most recent at the top, so today's row is right there.
- Clearer exports. Two export spots, now labelled: Tracker → History → Import / Export is the round-trip for your daily log (export a CSV and import one back), while Profile → Privacy → Export my data is a full one-way copy of everything.
Version 1.0.0 build 65 · June 2026
- Charts: full-screen is now on your terms. Just turning your phone sideways no longer yanks a chart into full-screen on its own (and no more flicker when you rotate while a chart's already open). Now you tap the ⤢ button to go full-screen, and then turning the phone landscape gives you the proper wide view. Close it and the app returns to portrait as normal.
Version 1.0.0 build 64 · June 2026
- Fixed: the Analytics switch wouldn't turn on. On some phones — usually ones that have been through many updates — the Analytics toggle (Settings → Privacy & your data) flipped straight back off, and your training/body analytics stopped recording. The cause was the on-device analytics store failing to upgrade after an app update; Strathlon now repairs it automatically on launch, so the switch turns on and stays on. Your logs, plan and profile were never affected — they're stored separately and backed up.
Version 1.0.0 build 63 · June 2026
- "Export my data" now works — and includes your weight. Fixed a bug where the export button could silently do nothing. Your export now always includes a Tracker CSV with your date, weight, calories in/out and deficit (plus your training, body and sleep data when available) — open it in Excel, Numbers or Sheets. (Profile → Privacy & your data → Export my data.)
- Tidier weight chart. Removed the unlabelled straight trend line (and faint projection) from the chart — it now shows just your actual weight and, on the Tracker, your predicted line. Your weekly rate of change is still shown in the header.
Version 1.0.0 build 62 · June 2026
- Weight chart: your history and small changes are clear again. Fixed a scaling glitch where the predicted line could stretch the chart's vertical axis so far that your actual weight line looked flat — making your history seem to vanish and tiny daily changes (0.2–0.5 kg) hard to spot. The chart now scales tightly to your real weigh-ins, so small movements show clearly. Your weight data was never lost — it's stored on your device and backed up; only the axis scaling was off.
Version 1.0.0 build 61 · June 2026
- Simpler, clearer weight chart. We've stripped the weight chart back to what matters: your actual weight (solid line) and your predicted weight from your tracked calorie deficit (dashed line), clearly labelled. The candlestick view and the confusing colour scheme are gone. Open it full-screen to see a note explaining the prediction is based on your tracked deficit.
- "Explain my gap" is one tap now. When your actual and predicted weight drift apart, tap to ask your coach — confirm a quick "share & explain" prompt (your numbers are used only for that answer and aren't remembered) and it goes straight into the coach, which explains it or asks you a question or two. No typing, no extra send.
Version 1.0.0 build 60 · June 2026
- Cleaner weight chart. The everyday weight chart is now just the clean line view — the Line/Candle toggle has moved to the full-screen view (tap ⤢ or rotate), so the candlestick option is there when you want it without cluttering the at-a-glance card.
Version 1.0.0 build 59 · June 2026
- Your watch now starts itself. When you begin a session (warm-up, workout or HIIT) and you're a premium member with the Strathlon watch app, your Apple Watch starts recording automatically — no need to tap Start on your wrist — and your live heart rate streams in from the off. It records as one continuous workout of the right type (HIIT, strength, warm-up) with calories, not just a duration.
- Avoid double-counting. While Strathlon is recording on your watch, you'll see a reminder not to also start Apple's Workout app — running both would count your calories twice. No watch? Your heart rate still comes from Apple Health where available.
Version 1.0.0 build 58 · June 2026
- Breaks now eat at maintenance — enjoy your time off. When a day is marked "On a break" 🌴, your calories now drop to maintenance (no deficit) and any scheduled sport bonus is no longer counted on that day — so a holiday with a match in your usual schedule no longer inflates your target. Your plan and your normal targets pick straight back up when you're home; nothing to re-set. (Your Tracker still measures what you actually eat and burn, as always.)
Version 1.0.0 build 57 · June 2026
- Smoother weight logging. Your reps now pre-fill from the plan (just confirm or tweak), switching kg ⇄ lb now converts the number you typed, and there's a Done button plus tap-Save to dismiss the keypad — no more fighting the keyboard.
- Clearer heart-rate colours. Heart rate now reads red when you're above your recommended level and amber when below — consistently across workouts and your stats — so a glance tells you if you're in the right zone.
Version 1.0.0 build 56 · June 2026
- A better weight chart on your Tracker — predicted line included. The Tracker's weight chart now has everything the Trends one does: the Line / Candle toggle, landscape full‑screen, pinch‑zoom and the drag crosshair. And your predicted weight (from your logged calorie deficit) is now drawn right on the same chart as a dashed line against your real weigh‑ins — no separate second chart.
- "Explain my gap" now opens a real conversation. When you ask your coach about the gap between predicted and actual weight, it now takes you to the AI Coach chat with your numbers loaded — so if the coach asks a clarifying question first (it won't guess), you can actually answer and keep the conversation going, instead of a one‑off reply with nowhere to respond.
Version 1.0.0 build 55 · June 2026
- Fixed: new installs could get stuck on the final setup screen. On a brand-new install, the last onboarding step ("where are you starting?") could dead-end — picking an option and tapping the button did nothing. Setup now completes properly and takes you into the app. (Only affected fresh installs; existing users were unaffected.)
Version 1.0.0 build 54 · June 2026
- Let the AI coach factor in your cycle — only if you choose. A new, separate switch (off by default, in Settings) lets the AI coach see just a general phase label — like "pre-menstrual" or "mid-cycle" — so its advice can flex with where you are. That's all it ever sees: never your dates, flow, symptoms or history, and nothing about your cycle length. It's its own opt-in, kept deliberately separate from the general Health-data sharing control, and everything else about your cycle stays on your device exactly as before. Leave it off and your coach works exactly as it does today.
Version 1.0.0 build 53 · June 2026
- Cycle-aware nutrition & training. If you track your cycle in Apple Health, Strathlon now adds gentle, evidence-based notes for where you are in it. On the Nutrition tab: around your period and the week before, a friendly reminder that cravings and appetite naturally rise, with simple food tips (iron, hydration, protein + fibre) — plus an optional "ease my targets in my pre-period week" switch that nudges your calorie target up by about 100 kcal so you can stay consistent instead of swinging. On the Plan tab: a note that energy often dips around your period (train by feel — going lighter is fine) while the mid-cycle window is usually a great time to push, with an optional cycle-aware autoregulation hint. Both switches are off by default, female-only, and everything is worked out on your device — your cycle data is never shared.
Version 1.0.0 build 52 · June 2026
- Predicted vs actual weight — and why they differ. Your Tracker now plots the weight your logged calorie deficit predicts (using the ≈7,700 kcal ≈ 1 kg rule) against your real scale weigh-ins, so you can see at a glance when the two drift apart. Honest about the science, too: water and glycogen make real weight drop faster at first, then your body adapts and the prediction runs ahead. When there's a meaningful gap, premium members can tap "Ask your coach to explain this gap" — the coach looks at your real numbers (how many days you logged food, whether your burn is Apple Watch or an estimate, your sleep, your weigh-in consistency) and, rather than guessing, asks you a question or two first before suggesting what's going on. Sharing your Apple Health figures with the coach stays opt-in (the control added in the last update).
Version 1.0.0 build 51 · June 2026
- You decide what the AI Coach sees. Strathlon now asks once — during onboarding, and any time in Settings → Privacy & your data — whether you're happy to share your Apple Health figures (like weight, body‑fat, calories burned, heart rate, cardio‑fitness and sleep) with the AI Coach for more tailored advice. It's off by default: leave it off and your Health data stays on your device and is never sent to our AI provider — the coach simply works from what you type and your in‑app profile. Turn it on for sharper, more personalised coaching, and switch it back off whenever you like. Your cycle information is always kept separate and is never shared with the AI unless you specifically enable cycle‑aware coaching.
Version 1.0.0 build 50 · June 2026
- A better weight chart. Turn your phone sideways for a full‑screen view, pinch to zoom, and drag a crosshair to read any point. Prefer a trading‑style view? Switch to candlesticks — each week or month shows its range and direction (green = weight loss, amber = weight gain) — while everyone else keeps the familiar line by default. The date axis is cleaner too, and your trend, projection and cycle shading all carry over.
Version 1.0.0 build 49 · June 2026
- See today's target at a glance. The Tracker's top row now shows four tiles — Target · Burned · Consumed · Deficit — so your calorie target sits right next to what you've burned, eaten and your deficit. The target updates live as your day changes (add a walk and it adjusts). The "auto‑syncs from Apple Health" notes tucked into tidy ⓘ buttons, clearing two cluttered lines off the screen.
Version 1.0.0 build 48 · June 2026
- Going away? "Away or catching up?" One new button on your Plan, two simple jobs. Taking a break — set the dates and those days show "On a break 🌴", your plan pauses where it is (nothing lost, no "missed day" nagging), with a friendly welcome‑back and a gentle ease‑in after a longer break. Trained while away — tick the days you trained and what you did (gym, sport, a walk, anything), even several at once, and it counts toward your progress on any day. Logged one by mistake? Tap to remove it.
Version 1.0.0 build 47 · June 2026
- Your weights remember themselves. Log a working weight on an exercise once — typed, set‑by‑set, or with the photo — and it auto‑fills next time, so you don't re‑enter it every week (just keep it or nudge it up/down). You can also untick/unsave a weight in a tap, per set or per exercise.
- More accurate targets from body composition. Enter your body‑fat % (or let a smart scale / Apple Health supply it) and Strathlon bases your calories and protein on your lean body mass — more accurate than weight alone. Editable anytime in Settings.
- Readiness‑aware plan. If your readiness answers flag something, Strathlon keeps your plan gentle (no aggressive cut, easier intensity) and recommends medical clearance — with a one‑tap "I've got clearance" to return to your normal plan.
- Spot‑on set counts. Fixed a case where the coaching could mention a different number of sets than your actual workout — it now always matches your plan.
Version 1.0.0 build 46 · June 2026
- Quick fitness‑readiness check. Onboarding now includes a short, optional set of yes/no readiness questions — the kind a personal trainer asks before you start, covering things like heart conditions, chest pain or dizziness. If any answer stands out, Strathlon gently recommends getting medical clearance from your doctor before you begin or push harder. It's a readiness check, not medical advice, and it stays on your device.
Version 1.0.0 build 45 · June 2026
- Health & safety mode — pregnancy, breastfeeding & more. A new private step in onboarding (and in Settings) lets you tell Strathlon if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, note any ongoing health conditions or medications, and — entirely optional — answer two gentle questions about your relationship with food. If you're pregnant, Strathlon clearly recommends you pause the programme and follow your doctor or midwife. If you're breastfeeding, the same applies. Strathlon won't set you a weight‑loss target or a pregnancy training or eating plan, and it never puts you in a calorie deficit — but you can still use the app to log your meals, weight and activity. The optional food questions keep things gentle, with supportive signposting. Everything stays on your device and is editable anytime. This is general information, not medical advice — always follow your healthcare provider.
Version 1.0.0 build 44 · June 2026
- Allergies & foods to avoid. Tell Strathlon your food allergies (the common ones in a tap, plus anything custom) and any supplement ingredients to avoid — during onboarding or anytime in Settings. Your meal plans and the AI coach then treat them as hard, never‑suggest exclusions, and the supplements guide flags anything that clashes. (Strathlon helps you avoid them, but always check labels — it can't guarantee third‑party ingredient data.)
Version 1.0.0 build 43 · June 2026
- Smarter "Add a walk or activity". If you wear an Apple Watch, the activities you actually do are already counted automatically — so you only need to add one here if you don't wear a tracker, or to plan ahead. There's clearer guidance throughout, and best of all: if you add an activity your watch already recorded, Strathlon recognises it and won't count the calories twice — so your targets stay honest.
Version 1.0.0 build 42 · June 2026
- A "recovered" cue between sets. During your rest, once your heart rate has dropped back from the effort, Strathlon shows a quiet "✓ Recovered — ready for your next set" with a gentle tap — a simple readiness hint (nothing auto‑advances). Appears when you have a live heart rate, e.g. your Apple Watch.
- Clearer AI Coach "memory". We renamed the coach's "chat limit" to Coach memory so it's obvious what it is: your coach remembers your most recent ~12 exchanges, and once that's full the oldest just roll off automatically — you can keep chatting as normal (separate from your daily message allowance). Reassuring wording, and you can still start a fresh conversation any time.
Version 1.0.0 build 41 · June 2026
- Rest & recovery insights. Strathlon now learns from your rest between sets. Your review gains a Rest & recovery card that flags when you've rested well past your target — and, if you wear an Apple Watch, tracks how fast your heart rate drops between sets (a sign of improving fitness) with an up/down trend. It even gives you a heads‑up when a long rest means the set's gone cold, so you can keep the training stimulus up.
Version 1.0.0 build 40 · June 2026
- Track the weights you lift. Log your working weight × reps on any exercise — pre‑filled from last time, so it's usually one tap — or tap "Log each set" for set‑by‑set detail. Enter in kg or lb and it's shown in both. Your review then gains a Strength progress section: your heaviest set, an estimated 1‑rep max, total volume‑load, an up/down trend, and a gentle "consider a deload" nudge when a lift stalls. All computed on your device.
- Snap a photo to fill in your weight (Premium). Point your camera at the dumbbell, plate, machine display or your training logbook and Strathlon's AI reads the number and fills in the weight (and reps) for you — it shows what it read, and you just review and tap Save. Nothing is logged automatically.
Version 1.0.0 build 39 · June 2026
- Heart rate now shows while you lift. Your live heart rate appears on the strength session screen too — during each set and the rest countdown between sets — so you can watch it come down before your next set, not just in warm‑ups and HIIT. A ⌚ marks when it's live from your Apple Watch. (Needs a watch or recent Apple Health data.)
- Daily auto‑add works straight away. When you set a food as a daily auto‑add, it's now added to today immediately (if today is one of the days you picked) — no need to reopen the app first.
Version 1.0.0 build 38 · June 2026
- Apple Watch live heart rate. Strathlon now has an Apple Watch app. Start it before a session and your heart rate streams straight to your phone in real time — so the live BPM and zone during warm‑ups and HIIT update beat‑by‑beat from your wrist, instead of the slightly delayed Health reading. A ⌚ shows when it's live from your watch. Premium.
Version 1.0.0 build 37 · June 2026
- Delete photos from Compare. You can now remove a photo straight from the before/after Compare view — tap a date and choose Delete. (Deleting also clears anything stored with that photo.)
Version 1.0.0 build 36 · June 2026
- "Check for updates" works properly. Tapping Check for updates now always pulls the latest tips and content straight away, instead of sometimes showing an older cached version.
- Tidier training‑day guidance. The guidance cards on your plan are now all the same width — neat and aligned.
Version 1.0.0 build 35 · June 2026
- Your AI Coach always has your exact schedule. The coach now reads the same live, up‑to‑date plan you see on the Plan tab — including any changes you make on the fly — so it never gets your training day wrong.
- Live stats lead with heart rate. During a session the live row now shows your heart rate and zone first, then calories.
Version 1.0.0 build 34 · June 2026
- Compare your progress photos. In Progress Photos, tap Compare to see two photos side by side — your oldest vs newest by default — with the days between them and your weight change. Tap either date to swap in any other photo. No AI, nothing leaves your device.
- Photos keep their real date. Add a photo from your library and it's filed by when it was actually taken — and tagged with the weight from that day — so older photos land correctly on your timeline.
Version 1.0.0 build 33 · June 2026
- Progress Photos. Track your body progress with photos, not just the scale — a private gallery (More → Progress Photos), each photo tagged with the day's weight. Stays on your device: never uploaded, never sent to the AI.
- Sharper targets from your body composition. If a smart scale or wearable logs your lean mass to Apple Health, Strathlon automatically fine‑tunes your calorie and protein targets to your real body composition — more accurate than estimates based on weight alone — and you can turn it on or off anytime in Settings. On-device only, never sent to the AI.
- Undo "Mark this session done". Tapped it by mistake? Tap again to undo. Sessions logged automatically — from a guided session or your Apple Watch — stay locked so real training is never removed by accident.
- Set your primary sport. Play more than one sport? Reorder them so the top one is your primary — your gym work is tuned to your top two, while any others still shape your schedule and nutrition.
- Heart rate that stays put. During warm-ups and HIIT your heart rate no longer blanks out between readings — it holds your last value and gently dims when it's a little old.
- Smoother profile photos and tidier sport sessions, plus a few under-the-hood fixes.
Version 1.0.0 build 31 · June 2026
- A cleaner workout screen. Your warm-up, workout and HIIT finisher are now tidy sections you can fold and unfold — warm-up and HIIT start folded so there's less to scroll past, your workout stays open.
- The warm-up stands out. It now has its own bold colour so it's harder to skip.
- A better HIIT finish. No more abrupt ending — you get a proper "well done" with your rounds and an estimated calorie burn, plus a sign-off that knows what's next in your week (back tomorrow, or rest up for the weekend).
- Feature requests in one place. "App roadmap & Feature requests" now live together under More.
