Build 4 is the last large build before the beta widens. The themes: the record is safer by default, the insights are more honest, and more of your existing data can come in.
Backups
- Automatic backups are on by default. An encrypted backup file is written to your own iCloud Drive on a schedule you can see in Settings → Backup. The passcode is generated by the app and kept in your device’s keychain; reveal it with Face ID when you need it for a restore on a new phone.
- Retention keeps a sensible number of files per device and never touches another device’s backups.
Insights
- Three standings. Every Highlight is now an observation, an early sign or a pattern. Patterns survive a false-discovery check across everything the app compared; early signs are limited to one, with their day count. How it works.
- Four evidence levels in lists. The browsing lists (Moves with it, the weather sheet) show every link that cleared the per-pair bar, with its tier.
- Weather as a factor. Pressure-drop days and rainy days join the insight engine as factors, for a region you type in. Cards end with associations, not causes.
- A symptom’s how often can now be an outcome, not only its intensity.
Apple Health
- Symptoms read from Health. Every symptom type Health offers has a matching preset, so headaches logged elsewhere can sit in the same tracker.
- Save symptoms to Health is a new opt-in switch. Off by default; when on, only the symptoms you log in linked trackers are written.
Import
- Import from Bearable. Settings → Privacy & data → Import from Bearable takes Bearable’s CSV export and shows a review sheet before anything is written.
Measures and logging
- A Number measure type, set on a wheel. The Text measure is gone; notes cover what it did.
- Small control sheets use system glass; whole-control taps everywhere.
- Headache’s triggers measure is now Head triggers; a catalog review tidied the rest.
Journal and photos
- Photo captions name their target; today lists what has not been logged yet.
- The photo viewer shows one photo at a time with a filmstrip timeline, closes with a pull, and in Pro compares two photos side by side.
Pro
- The Pro screen and onboarding were redesigned: a two-line headline, yearly and monthly side by side, lifetime below, and the line your data stays yours spelled out under the plans.
- Internal QA builds use the real App Store products so TestFlight shows the actual paywall.
Brand
- The folded-ribbon mark is now the app icon and the About tile.
- Three more icons join the free set: heart, nose and puzzle.
