Release Notes
1.2.3
True Black Dark Mode is now free for everyone. No subscription needed for that pure-black, easy-on-the-eyes look in a dim studio.
This update also brings a full accessibility pass: VoiceOver now reads your pieces, ratings, and stats clearly instead of a jumble of icons and separators; the app respects Reduce Motion; and every screen (Journal, Firings, Materials, Insights) holds up properly at larger text sizes.
Plus some polish: filtering your Journal to zero results now tells you what happened (and gets you back), firing sessions edit in place instead of opening a separate form, and various small layout fixes throughout.
1.2.2
iCloud sync indicator.
1.2.1
Title is now directly editable. Credit to Chaz for that idea!
