What’s new (version history)

This is the running history of what changed in CareHaven, newest build first. The current version is Build 78 (1.0), and it lives in the TestFlight beta today. Each build adds a little more — most of it builds on what came before, and your existing data carries forward every time.

A few things to know as you read:

• Most updates are additive. Your profiles and everything you have logged should open exactly as before after you update. The first thing to check after any update is simply that all your data is still there.
• When an update is mostly content or behind-the-scenes work, you may not see much change on screen — that is expected.
• Newly added wording usually leads with English first; Spanish and French follow in a later build.
• If you want the short version, the Full feature catalog lists everything the app does today.

Build 78 (current)

Build 78 is about trust in the two moments that matter most: knowing exactly who can see a person's records, and knowing a backup will bring everything back. Sharing gets a safety overhaul, a reset refuses to erase anything until sharing is truly off, and a backup now carries the whole record.

• Removing a co-caregiver keeps a record. Swiping a co-caregiver's row under Main Menu → Team → Shared with now revokes their access instead of deleting the row. The row stays on your list, marked Revoked with the date, so what you did and when is still there to see weeks later. See Sharing care with others (sync).
• Re-inviting someone starts fresh. If you revoke a co-caregiver and later decide to share with them again, CareHaven sends a completely new invitation rather than reviving the old one. You choose the sections and the permission again, from scratch.
• A new Who has access screen. Main Menu → Team → Shared with → Who has access answers one question plainly: who can open this person's records right now. It reads straight from iCloud rather than only what this iPhone has stored, so it can show access this phone holds no local record of — which happens for ordinary reasons, like reinstalling CareHaven or setting up a new iPhone. When that comes up, the screen says so in plain words — "CareHaven can't match this access on this iPhone" — and leaves the decision to you. It never assumes something is wrong. You remove one person at a time, and the confirmation names exactly who. See Sharing care with others (sync).
• A reset that will not erase until sharing is off. Settings → Privacy & Data → Clear All Data now holds the wipe if CareHaven cannot confirm that every profile you shared was fully un-shared from iCloud first. Nothing on the device is erased until that is proven, and CareHaven tells you so plainly — from there you can Try again, or choose Wipe anyway with the consequence spelled out on screen. See Privacy & security (in depth).
• A backup now carries far more of the record. What travels now: the growth chart including height and head circumference, every detail of every medication, the full cycle history, two entries logged in the same minute, contact cards, each step of a routine, and your files — documents, visit recordings, and scans — which come back as files you can open. About twenty more kinds of record ride along now too: your own reflection work (wins, burnout check-ins, mental-load items, break plans), the medical detail around a visit (immunizations, lab results, questions for the doctor, medication changes, baselines), and the family side (siblings and their check-ins, sensory diet logs, pumping, care profiles, and the things you have asked CareHaven to keep an eye on). See Walkthrough: Back up & restore your data.
• Nothing drops out of sight after a restore. If a restored entry points at something the backup did not include — a tracker, a medication, a food — it now stays visible in its own clearly labeled section instead of quietly disappearing, so you can see exactly what came back with a loose end.
• Restoring the same backup twice no longer doubles anything. If you are not sure a restore worked and you run the same file again, you get one copy of your data, not two.

No schema change from Build 77 — your data opens exactly as before.

Build 77

Build 77 brings five big pieces: a home for one of caregiving's slowest, bravest projects — getting a new food onto the menu — bringing in a person's clinical chart, building a tracker for anything CareHaven doesn't already cover, two-way sharing with your care team, and a calmer, clearer Care to-dos.

• New foods tracker. Introduce a food over weeks without pressure — one page per food, and every attempt logged on a gentle step ladder where every rung counts: in the room, at the table, smelled it, touched it, tasted it, swallowed a bite. Each try can carry how much they had, how they reacted, and their mood, and the food's page shows the furthest step so far — the best moment yet, never a score. Built with ARFID and other feeding differences in mind. Find it under Main Menu → Track → New foods, or start one straight from the + button (New food). See Introduce a new food.
• Graduation into safe foods. When a food genuinely lands, mark it accepted and add it to the person's safe foods — linking to an existing entry if it's already there, so the list never collects duplicates. New-food attempts never touch your feeding log or nutrition totals.
• Chart Import (Apple Health Records). Bring a person's medications, allergies, immunizations, lab results, conditions, and vitals into CareHaven — from a file you download at your patient portal, or, for the phone's owner, straight from Apple Health. Everything lands as read-only evidence from your chart, kept separate from your own records, and you choose item by item what to add. Find it at Main Menu → Medical → "From an imported chart" → Imported records. See Chart Import (Apple Health Records).
• Custom trackers. Build your own tracker for anything the app hasn't thought of yet — a name, an icon, a color, and a shape (count, number, rating, yes/no, free note, or checklist) — and it works like any built-in log from there: it lands on your timeline, it's searchable, and it's part of your recap. Find it under Main Menu → Track → Custom trackers. Creating a new tracker is part of CareHaven Family; logging and viewing trackers you already have — including ones shared with you — stays free on every plan. See Custom trackers.
• Two-way sharing with your care team. A co-caregiver you give edit permission can now add and change records — feedings, behaviors, appointments, whatever sections you've shared — and it flows back to you and out to everyone else you've invited, typically within seconds. Read-only invites are now genuinely enforced, and removing one caregiver's access never affects anyone else's. If you shared with someone before Build 77, look for the Enable two-way updates: re-send invite row to bring their invite up to date. See Sharing care with others (sync).
• Calmer Care to-dos, with list icons. The full to-do composer now opens calm — just the essentials (a title, a note, who it's For, and a plain When) with a single Add details that unfolds the rest only when you want it. Planning is now one plain-language When choice — No date, Due, Must be done by, or Someday — and what used to be called "Deadline" is now Must be done by everywhere. When you open a to-do to read it, you now see only the fields you actually filled in, nothing empty. You can also give a shared Care task list or a Project a curated icon from its rename screen — one of 18 calm, care-themed symbols — so your lists are easy to tell apart at a glance. See Care to-dos.
• Recurring appointments sync whole. A repeating appointment shared with your care team now arrives with its repeat pattern intact, not just the next single occurrence.
• Sync trouble surfaces, not hides. If something goes wrong syncing with a co-caregiver, it now shows up on the Profile access screen instead of failing silently.

Build 76

Build 76 makes it far easier to find your way around the app and turns the in-app help into the full handbook.

• Find anything, faster. Search now reaches the whole app at once — Tips & Tricks, the in-app help screens, and the quick-log actions are all searchable, and a result takes you straight where you need to go.
• The in-app guide is the full handbook now. The Feature Guide and Reference show the complete CareHaven handbook, rendered cleanly and quick to read, with an offline Full Wiki you can open anytime.
• Tap to learn more. Underlined words and cross-references in the guide now respond — a plain-language definition or the related page opens with a tap.
• Clearer profiles, safer sharing. Inviting a co-caregiver is easier to find and has stronger safety checks, and the people/team wording is clearer throughout.
• Easier on the eyes. Reference tables are laid out to read cleanly on a phone, and a few labels were simplified.

These are presentation and search improvements — your profiles and everything you've logged open exactly as before.

Build 75

Build 75 deepens the safety net around the things that matter most: it watches the thresholds you set and surfaces them before they slip past you.

• Care signals. The Medical hub can now show a short Care signals list — calm, plain-language nudges built from what you have logged: a seizure reaching a saved minute-mark, a medication due for a refill, a clinician follow-up or a health check that is overdue. Each one is mechanical, never a guess the app made. They also travel with your handoff. See Safety & crisis plans.
• Safety alert banner. For the most urgent signals — a seizure reaching the emergency-call minute, or a swallowing concern — a calm amber banner now appears at the top of the screen wherever you are, so a red-flag moment is not missed. One tap to dismiss; it returns if the situation is still live. See Safety & crisis plans.
• Seizure-cluster alert. Your seizure plan can now hold a cluster rule — "alert me if there are N or more seizures within H hours" — using the threshold your care team chose. It is off by default, and CareHaven never invents a cluster definition. See Build a crisis plan.
• Four more Care alerts you set yourself. New, off-by-default alerts you can switch on from a per-hub Care alerts section: an out-of-range Vital alert (per vital, with your own low/high bound and an optional top-of-screen safety banner), a Weight-loss alert (a percent drop over a number of days), a Feeding-refusal alert (so many refusals within so many hours), and a Sleep alert for short logged nights. You set every threshold; CareHaven runs the rule and raises the signal, but never invents a cutoff. See Safety & crisis plans.
• Medication reminders, all at once. A single switch in Settings -> Menus & Quick Log -> Features now turns every medication's reminders on or off on this device, without re-entering each schedule. See Set medication reminders.
• More tailoring under the hood. Continued refinements to how your care approach shapes the app's wording and layout, plus accessibility and Spanish/French polish.

Your records carry forward as always — there is nothing you need to do when you update.

Build 74

The biggest build yet: your care approach shapes how the app is organized, on-device AI is free for everyone, and a safety floor keeps the most important sections always in reach.

• Care Stance. For each person and condition, you can now set how you approach care — whether you lean toward supporting how they're wired, building skills, or something in between. The app gently reorders hub sections to match, putting what your family reaches for most a little closer to the top. Safety sections never move. Set it in Main Menu -> Safety -> Passport. See Support tailored to a diagnosis.
• On-device AI for every account. The on-device AI is now free — no subscription needed. Your questions and care records never leave the device. See Smart help.
• Online help for Plus and Pro. If you subscribe, you can turn on Online help in Settings -> AI Help. A consent screen explains what is and is not shared before anything happens. It is off by default. See Smart help.
• 30 hub sections are now always shown. The sections that cover emergencies, medication, critical monitoring, and feeding safety cannot be hidden — they show a lock icon in Settings -> Customize Sections instead of a toggle. If you had previously hidden one of these, a one-time notice lets you know it is staying visible. See Personalize CareHaven.
• Medication status badge. Each medication row in the Medical hub now shows a status badge — Active, Paused, and a handful of specific states — so you can see at a glance whether reminders are reaching you. See Medical.
• A more refined interface. Cleaner empty screens, more consistent cards, and simpler menus throughout.

No schema change from Build 73. Your data opens exactly as before.

Build 73

A small stability update that makes sure CareHaven always opens cleanly after an update.

• A cleaner first launch after an update. Caregivers upgrading with a lot of saved data could occasionally see the app stall on the first launch while it prepared your data behind the scenes. Build 73 moves that work off the launch screen, so the app opens reliably no matter how much you have saved. You may briefly see an "Updating your data" screen the first time — that is expected, and your data is untouched.

No new features, and no change to your data.

Build 72

Care in your own words, gentler decision support, and a calmer Home.

• Your care approach, in your words. Search "care approach" or "how we do things" to set out your family's values, and CareHaven reflects your language back. The safety floor never softens — urgent steps for seizures, choking, medications, and crisis plans stay clear no matter your wording. See How CareHaven thinks.
• A quiet safety check on treatment notes. When something you write in a treatment or approach note matches a well-documented unsafe claim, a calm heads-up appears with one trusted link. It never blocks, edits, or judges your words. See Gentle fact-check.
• Working through a care decision. A new space in Caregiver tools to lay out what you are weighing, with ready-made questions to carry to your care team, school, or insurer. The Decision Log now reads in plain language — what you weighed, who you consulted, decided by, revisit by — and quietly resurfaces a decision when it is time to look again. See Working through a care decision and Decision log.
• "Around you right now" and a Navigator summary. A gentle Home card draws your active goals, recent milestones, and life changes into one short snapshot. A new on-device summary — built only from your own records, with sensitive sections off by default — gives a care navigator what they need. See Navigator summary.
• New advocacy guides. Plain-language walk-throughs for the Part C to Part B (IEP) transition around age 3, and for insurance prior authorization and appeals. See Advocacy & goals.

No schema change from Build 71. These features are schema-free, so your data opens exactly as before.

Build 71

Care to-dos arrive — the one-off things, finally in one place — and they can be shared.

• Care to-dos. Capture what needs doing in a tap — type it in plain words, add a due date, a note, or check-off steps with one level of sub-steps. To-dos with a date appear on your calendar, and the list groups by urgency (Overdue, Today, Upcoming, Anytime) with safety to-dos floated to the top. See Care to-dos.
• Make a to-do from anywhere. Doctor-visit follow-ups, communication-log action items, goals, routines, medication refills, crisis plans, and documents each have a "Make a to-do" button, and the to-do links back to where it came from.
• Shared lists for co-caregivers. Person-specific to-dos and shared lists keep in sync across the people caring together, near-instantly and with equal authority. Mark a to-do "General" — like "renew family insurance" — for the things that are not about one person. See Shared care task lists.
• Private reminders. Turn on a per-to-do reminder that nudges only you, never your co-caregivers, and respects Focus. "Needs doing" and "Done since last handoff" can also ride along in the sitter brief.

Build 71 adds additive schema changes for to-dos and shared lists (V63 to V65). Your existing profiles, schedules, and logs migrate forward.

Build 70

See everyone's day at once, with stronger privacy guardrails.

• Care Day. Tap your profile pill and choose Care Day to view all the people you care for together — Home, the Day view, and Schedule show them side by side, each entry tagged with who it is for. Choose all profiles or pick specific people; "Active only" returns to a single person. See The Home screen and Appointments & calendar.
• Logging stays on the active profile. New logs, Siri, Apple Watch, widgets, and Health export still go only to the one active profile, so seeing everyone at once never logs to the wrong person.
• Your calendar, your choice. Pick exactly which people appear on the Schedule calendar; the setting follows you between Care Day and the calendar.
• Stronger privacy on reset and sharing. "Reset CareHaven" now erases every app-owned photo and document along with your data, and Handoff and Care-Card sharing links were hardened so the encryption key is never carried where it could be logged. See Privacy & security.

No schema change from Build 69. Your profiles, schedules, and logs open unchanged.

Build 69

Sharing and calendar handoff are clearer. Build 69 keeps the Build 68 visual polish and focuses on trust-critical Apple technology hardening.

• Handoff is more robust. Handoff links route to the right place, QR sharing is clearer, nearby handoff confirms the receiving device or falls back to the share sheet, and you can print or share a Handoff PDF with the brief, issue time, and expiration time. See Create a handoff for a sitter.
• Apple Calendar sync is clearer. Calendar settings now explain sync health and issues in plain language, and appointment review/edit flows make it clearer what will happen before anything changes. See Appointments & calendar.
• Watch and widget quick logging are hardened. Quick logs sent from Apple Watch or widgets are less likely to duplicate or disappear.
• Subscriptions use Apple's native purchase sheet. The paywall now uses the standard Apple subscription UI.

No schema change from Build 67. Your profiles, Schedule data, Memory Care episode details, visual preferences, and custom themes should carry forward.

Build 68

CareHaven should feel easier to read and easier to use one-handed.

• Less wasted space. Home, Schedule, the bottom controls, and menus were tightened so the interface does not leave large blank panels where controls should be.
• Clearer controls. The week-strip chevrons, compact quick-log button, menu back/forward controls, and quick-log customization were polished.
• Schedule is denser. Day, Week, Month, and Agenda views keep their controls visible and reduce the empty space that could appear in Build 67.
• Behavior Insights reads more clearly. Titles use clearer language, and chart descriptions explain what is being counted.
• More flexible visual choices. Profile colors and custom themes are easier to edit, and saved themes stay readable in light and dark mode.

No schema change from Build 67. This build changes presentation and local preferences only.

Build 67

Memory Care episodes now help you close the loop.

• What Helped. When you log agitation, sundowning, wandering, or another dementia behavior episode, you can mark likely triggers, what you tried, and whether it helped. Free text still stays available. See Dementia & elder care.
• Follow-up nudges. If an episode is still open, CareHaven can remind you later to answer whether it passed and what helped. These are local care nudges.
• Pattern insights. After several structured episodes, CareHaven can surface simple, honest patterns such as common triggers or what usually helped, with the counts behind the statement.
• A 60-second reset after a hard episode. After a high-intensity moment, CareHaven can offer a short calm timer for you.
• Additional hardening. This build also included iPad logging parity, lock-screen emergency-info access, App Intent privacy hardening, recurring schedule counts, and App Store URL updates.

Build 67 added an additive Memory Care schema change. Existing profiles, calendar data, logs, and older Memory Care episodes migrate forward.

Build 66

Schedule is now a full calendar.

• Day, Week, Month, and Agenda. Open Schedule to see appointments, medication times, routines, coverage shifts, fasting windows, and recent care history in one place. See Appointments & calendar.
• The old appointment list is still reachable. If you prefer the list, it lives in the + menu in the calendar toolbar (choose Appointments list).
• Calendar-file sharing. Share one appointment as a calendar file using the iOS share sheet.
• Review-gated imports. Import events from a calendar file or Apple Calendar source, review the list, and save only when you confirm.
• Reference database auto-updates. CareHaven can now check a small public manifest and download only changed reference JSON files, such as state resources, help topics, crisis resources, and tips. Care data is not part of this system. See Privacy & security.

Build 66 added additive calendar/schedule schema changes. Profiles, appointments, dose times, routines, logs, and shared care data migrate forward.

Build 65

Memory Care, real crisis numbers, and honest paywalls.

• Community is now real support. The old simulated Community area was replaced with a support directory of real helplines and verified organizations. Older local Community posts move into your private journal with a one-time notice.
• Memory Care capture improved. You can log dementia behavior moments more directly, including by voice through Siri or quick-log paths, and add a familiar face with a photo.
• Crisis resources match your region better. Crisis lines, first-aid steps, and emergency numbers were updated for region and language, including Spanish and French.
• Navigation is easier to back out of. Swipe-back and the back chevron better remember where you came from.
• Subscription wording is more precise. Critical dementia assessments and trust-sensitive surfaces are described more honestly across tiers.

No schema change from Build 64.

Build 64

The headline is a new guided onboarding. Setting up a person is now a warm, step-by-step flow instead of one long form — one calm screen at a time, with only the name required. Birthday, sex, and diagnoses are each optional, each has a Back button, and skipping one writes nothing.

• The app teaches itself as you go. A self-teaching coach tour points out the + button, the menus, and search the first time each one matters, then ends back on Home. See Setting up for the first time.
• Choose your path. After the basics, the app asks what you would like help with next — a guided tour of the app, or filling out more profile detail in a walked-through editor.
• A recovery card. Anything you skip during setup quietly shows up on a card on the Home screen, so you can finish it later.
• Replay the walkthrough anytime. From Settings, then Help, then Walkthrough, you can re-run the live coach tour, re-watch the basics (read-only), or step through Choose your path again. Replaying never changes anything you have saved.

No change to your data this build. Clean builds also got much faster, but that is a behind-the-scenes change with nothing for you to see.

Build 63

This update is mostly about how the app feels. Scrolling and the menu should be noticeably smoother, with the same look you already know.

• Smoother Home, quicker menu. The Home screen now scrolls cleanly, and the soft, frosted menu background snaps into place instead of slowly animating. The translucent look is fully preserved.
• Smaller speed-ups under the hood. Search waits a beat while you type instead of re-searching on every keystroke, food and recipe calorie lookups remember their work, and a calendar sync hiccup for some iCloud accounts is cleared up.
• New, secondary: plain-language Parkinson’s and swallowing (dysphagia) lenses, plus a Mobility & Swallowing guide that can be raised in attention and then carries into the handoff brief so a sitter knows. A new Body Care card and Search both point you to them. See Support tailored to a diagnosis.

No change to your data this build.

Build 62

This update makes three things the app already tracks a little wiser. It reads what you already log and gently points out what matters — all on your device.

• What to watch for, for epilepsy. A new card in the Medical area gathers gentle, cited signs a care team keeps an eye on, with practical tips on tracking, everyday triggers, and keeping rescue meds ready. It links straight to the seizure first-aid steps and never diagnoses. See Medical.
• Skill Routine coaching. When you teach a skill step by step, the app now reads the practice history and offers a gentle nudge at the right moment — ready to ease up, one step needs a new angle, or more help than usual. Skill routines now also ride along in the handoff brief, a new developmental/therapy visit brief, and your backups.
• Behavior and sensory. Behavior Insights now shows quiet, observational notes from your own logs, and the sensory profile (what calms, what overwhelms) now actually rides along in the handoff sheet so a sitter knows.

No change to your data this build.

Build 61

This update adds five things that all do the same job: pull in trustworthy, free, public information so you do not have to look it up — and keep it on your device.

• Plain-language explainers for meds and conditions. Tap a medication or a diagnosis for an everyday-language explainer. Only a standard code is looked up (never a name or personal detail), and the answer is saved for offline use.
• Add a doctor or therapist from the directory. Search the free U.S. provider directory by name (plus an optional city or state) and pre-fill a verified name, phone, address, and specialty.
• Growth percentiles. From measurements you already track, see percentiles and z-scores worked out right on the device, fully offline, with an honest note that some conditions track differently.
• Allergen warnings plus nutrition. Set a person’s food allergens once (there is a quick-add for the common nine), and a barcode scan that matches shows a clear warning. A food’s detail also shows a per-serving nutrient readout.
• Health Signals from Apple Health. A read-only readout — for the phone owner’s profile only — of last night’s sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate, blood oxygen, breathing rate, and cycle day. It stays on the device. See Medical.

Your existing profiles, appointments, and medications are untouched.

Build 60

This update adds two things.

• Care Nudges. Gentle notification versions of the four Home cards — Time for a break, a little time with a sibling, Mealtime worth a closer look, and Someone seems off baseline — so a worth-a-look moment can reach you even when the app is closed. Each fires only if its feature is set up, shares the same per-person snooze as the Home cards, and cancels itself when the situation clears. You can turn it off in Settings. See Caregiver tools.
• Two-way Apple Calendar sync. Keep CareHaven appointments and your calendars in step. You pick which calendars to sync; CareHaven appointments appear on those calendars automatically, and events from outside come in when you review them under "Review events to add." Google and Outlook calendars work too, through the accounts already on your iPhone — CareHaven never holds those passwords. See Appointments & calendar.

Your existing appointments are untouched.

Build 59

This update brings four features you already have up to the top of your Home screen as gentle “worth a look” cards, in the same briefing area you use now.

They appear only when something needs your eyes, you see at most two at a time (most important first), and tapping one opens that feature: Mealtime worth a closer look, Off baseline, Time for a break, and a little time with a sibling. A small x snoozes a card for that one profile. See The Home screen.

This was a content and look-and-feel update, so your data opens exactly as before.

Build 58

This update adds two features that build on Baseline & Change Watch.

• Could it be medical? When someone who can’t easily say “I hurt” acts different, this walks you through hidden physical causes — a tooth, an ear, constipation, an infection — and makes a doctor note. Check the body first. See Medical.
• Mealtime Watch. A quick meal log (ate well / picked / refused) plus swallowing-trouble signs that quietly flag “worth mentioning to the doctor” when patterns build up. See Daily tracking.

Your data is untouched.

Build 57

This update adds Take a break — a Break Plan that names a trusted backup, briefs them with your Handoff so they actually know what to do, and tracks the break time you take against a small goal. Respite is one of the most protective things a caregiver can do, and the hard part is often “no one’s briefed enough,” which the Handoff already solves. See Caregiver tools.

Your data is untouched.

Build 56

This update adds Baseline & Change Watch — write down what’s typical for the person you care for, do a quick daily “vs usual” check, and the app builds a doctor-ready summary of what changed from normal. It’s the antidote to a new symptom being missed or waved off as “just the disability.” It includes a pain signature and optional pain cues; two or more signals off at once flags worth a closer look. See Medical.

Your data is untouched.

Build 55

This update adds the Mealtime Safety Card and a gentle “back in your window?” check after a breathing reset.

• Mealtime Safety Card. A pull-up-before-serving check anyone can read: the safe textures in plain words, an at-home thickness and texture test for this person’s exact levels, and the stop-the-meal warning signs. It reads the diet order you already set. See Daily tracking.
• “How are you now?” in Calm Tools. After a breathing cycle, a gentle button offers three honest options — steadier, still stretched (which opens Share the Load), or not okay (which reaches 988). See Caregiver tools.

This was a content update, with no change to your data.

Build 54

This update adds Sibling Spotlight — a gentle way to care for the siblings of the child you care for (the “glass children”), who are easy to overlook. Add a light profile for each sibling, keep a one-on-one-time nudge and a feelings check on the radar, and find plain-language words for the hard questions. See Support tailored to a diagnosis.

Your data is untouched.

Build 53

This update adds the Letter of Intent — a gentle, guided way to answer the hardest caregiving question: “what happens to them if something happens to me?” It’s a fill-over-time document with eight guided sections plus a prioritized list of who should step in, with a plain-text export that carries a clear note that it is not a legal document. It’s kept private, like the Passport and crisis plans. See Safety & crisis plans.

Your data is untouched.

Build 52

This update adds Share the Load — a private place to get the invisible mental load out of your head and, with one tap, hand a single task off to someone who can help. List the recurring jobs you carry, then tap share on any one and the app writes a warm, specific, ready-to-send ask for that task. It’s private to you and never syncs to a sitter or co-caregiver. See Caregiver tools.

Your data is untouched.

Build 51

This update adds Health Watch — the recommended recurring health checks for the person you care for, kept in one calm place so nothing quietly lapses. The list is matched to their age and recorded needs, and it nudges what’s coming up rather than showing a red overdue wall. You can mark a check done, snooze it, mark one not relevant, or add your own. These are plain-language reminders, not medical advice — your own clinician sets the right schedule. See Medical.

Your data is untouched.

Build 50

This update brought two new feature sets — Skill Routines and Crisis Plans. (Crisis Plans had been in the previous build, which never reached testers, so it arrived new here.)

• Skill Routines. Teach a skill or therapy step by step, run it together in a calm full-screen mode with each step read aloud, and watch how much help fades over time. A quick, private check-in after each run tracks how much help each step needed. See Care plans and routines.
• Crisis Plans. Calm “do this now” plans you build ahead of time for the highest-stakes moments. Five kinds: a seizure plan with a live timer that speaks and buzzes the next step, if-they-go-missing, calm-down, a safety plan, and a crisis card. They are kept off the iPhone’s own search so a sensitive plan stays private. See Safety & crisis plans.

Both were additive, so your data is untouched.

Build 49

Crisis Plans were first introduced here — typed action plans for wandering, a seizure-rescue plan with a live timer, calm-down, a safety plan, and a crisis card. This build never reached testers because it failed to build, so its Crisis Plans shipped folded into Build 50 instead.

Build 48

This update adds the Passport — one durable place that explains how to care for a person, that you build once and hand to anyone new. It pulls together what you’ve already entered (diagnoses, cues, medications, and the emergency contacts you’ve linked to this person) and adds the things only you know. It has a turn-the-phone reader mode with big text, and when you share it you pick exactly which sections to include first. See Caregiver tools.

This build also restored the Developer section at the bottom of Settings. Your data is untouched.

Build 47 (hotfix)

A quick hotfix that restored the Developer section at the bottom of Settings, which had gone missing on TestFlight builds. That section is where you switch tier and reach a connection test; the beta still defaults to the tier with every feature unlocked. Everything from Build 46 was unchanged.

Build 46

This update added in-app support for the hard moments, organized by what you’re actually facing. Everything here reads your own data or is on-device reference — nothing new syncs, and nothing leaves the phone.

• What to say. Calm say-this / skip-this / why cards for meltdowns, a loved one with dementia asking to go home or repeating a question, a panic attack, an OCD reassurance demand, and how to be specific on a 911 or 988 call.
• Kind words. Self-compassion and guilt-reframe cards for when the voice in your head gets harsh.
• First aid. Calm steps for choking (child and infant), aspiration, and the recovery position after a seizure — each leads with when to call 911.
• Where to start. A steadying companion for a new diagnosis, with one tap to turn on the app sections that help most for that diagnosis.
• Down syndrome milestones. Developmental ranges specific to Down syndrome, shown next to the general-population ranges.
• Visit briefs. One-tap, read-aloud summaries built from what you’ve logged — Neurology, Psychiatry, What’s changed, and Mealtime wins.

See Caregiver tools and Advocacy & goals. No change to your data’s format from Build 45.

Build 45

This update built on the Build 44 sharing fix with a nicer way to share access and quieter background sync.

• Invite someone from your Contacts. When you invite someone, you now pick them from your iPhone Contacts, pulling their name, phone, email, and address into a linked entry. People you shared with on an earlier build need to be revoked and re-invited to get a linked contact.
• More reliable background updates, so a co-caregiver’s later edits keep arriving in the background.

See Sharing care with others (sync).

Build 44 (hotfix)

A hotfix for multi-caregiver sharing, which was broken in Build 43. Inviting, accepting, and receiving a shared profile now work end to end — including when the receiving app was fully closed before tapping the link — and the receiver gets the full history on first sync. This build also added an “invite sent” confirmation, stopped a profile shared to you from showing as its own Shared-with entry, and let real names fill in on their own. See Sharing care with others (sync).

Build 43

The headline was multi-caregiver sync plus a new Team hub. Several caregivers can now keep the same care log in sync even when they never see each other.

• Team hub. The new home for everyone involved in a person’s care — Handoff, Shared with, and co-caregiver activity all live here now.
• Faster invites. Tap Invite someone, tap a role, and send the link by Messages or Mail; when the other person accepts, the shared profile pulls in and opens by itself.
• On-device smart help (on a supported device): a Handoff Brief drafted from your logs, Quick Capture that turns one sentence into a structured note, and a Check-in Companion that reflects your wellbeing entry back. All on-device. See Smart help (Apple Intelligence).

A launch hang on cold start was fixed, and the new wording was translated to Spanish and French. See Sharing care with others (sync).
