Original release notes
Your week, before it happens. - Plan ahead opens on your week: who's expected where, and how each day went. - Mark a day off, early release or late start. Everyone sees it; nobody is alerted. - Link a school or team calendar and days off fill themselves in. - Scan a schedule from the camera (iPhones with Apple Intelligence). - A calmer Pulse, with one Live now block and just your pinned check-ins. - Fixes for offline schedule sync and deleted places. Core safety (SOS, check-ins and the live map) is free for everyone. Always will be.
