Original release notes
This is a big one. Reminders that never give up, smarter dose timing, supplements, and travel support. Reminders that do not stop. They keep coming until you take your dose, until your next dose is due, or until your bedtime. They start close together and space out, so it feels like persistence instead of hammering. If reminders are ignored, your phone still rings like a call. Over sixty reminder messages. Light when you are a few minutes late, serious when it matters. Pick the voice in Settings: Gentle, Funny, or Tough love. Smarter timing. Your set time is your schedule and it never drifts. Take a dose early and the next reminder comes forward once the full interval has passed. Take one late and you are back on schedule the same day, with a safety gap so two doses can never land too close together. Supplements. Mark vitamins and the like as supplements: they still remind you until you log them, but they never ring your phone, never alert family, and never need a photo. Take them at a fixed time or any time in the day, daily, weekly, or monthly. Travel support. Change time zones and the app notices, keeps your doses on their original times, and offers a gradual shift to local time. Reminders now survive mid-flight clock changes. Family improvements. Remove a family member with a long press, and it sticks. Family now see supplements in their own quiet section, separate from medication. Sound fixes. All reminder tones, the loud alarm, and family alert sounds now play properly, and you can preview each tone in the sound picker. A new setting hides the medication name on your lock screen. Safer editing. Deleting a medication or a dose time now tells you how much history is attached and asks before anything is removed. Your history is kept unless you choose to erase it. Plus many reliability fixes for reminder calls, including calls that rang for the wrong dose or kept ringing after a dose was taken.
