Original release notes

Vigil now watches farther and runs longer.
• LONGER RANGE — People detection reaches farther by default, so Vigil catches someone approaching from more of the scene.
• RUNS FOR HOURS — New battery and thermal optimizations let Vigil stand guard on long watches without draining or overheating your phone. The screen dims while it watches and lights up instantly on an alarm.
• WATCH ZONE — Draw a rectangle on screen to alarm only on the area that matters and ignore the rest.
• SMOOTHER & STEADIER — A smoother live view, an upright camera on iPad, and reliability fixes throughout.
Point it, arm it, and Vigil keeps watch. A rating genuinely helps a solo developer — thank you.
