Changelog.

Fixed

• Watch screens fit at the largest text size. A long exercise name used to lose its first letter to the round edge of the watch, and now it wraps onto a second line.
• The energy check-in asks wherever you start a workout. With the check-in on, adding an exercise from the library, a muscle page or a finished session used to skip the question and leave you where you were.

Changed

• Your challenges get the screen back. The Skills and Journeys cards are one row each now and scroll away with the list, so more of your challenges fit before you scroll. Your road still says how far the next stop is; its walked total is on the road's own page.
• Tapping an exercise in the library opens its details instead of logging it. An Add to workout button in the sheet does what the tap used to do, so a slip while you scroll no longer starts a session.

Added

• Overlay two metrics for one exercise. Both lines share a clear reference point of 100, sparse days stay honest, and scrubbing shows the original values and units. Your chosen pair is remembered for that exercise. Pro.
• See every change you make. Change History keeps readable before-and-after details on your device, including deleted items, with private cycle changes staying in their separate protected store. Free.
• Count steps with no notification. Quiet is the new tracking mode, and the default when you turn phone tracking on for the first time. The phone reads its step counter about every 15 minutes. Flip "Show notification" on the Steps screen for the live count.
• Three roads, three illustrated maps. Hadrian's Wall has bold railway-poster colours, the Tokaido has woodblock mountains, and the Odyssey has an antique sea chart. Routes and stops follow the same geography on the card and the full-page drawn map.
• Walk a famous road with the distance you already cover. Runs, walks and steps move a marker along Hadrian's Wall, the Tokaido or the Odyssey, with a picture at every stop. Free.
• See where a road really runs. Tap the ribbon or the button under it for a full-page map: a drawn one that works with no connection, and a real one on world tiles a toggle away. Free.
• The Odyssey map says how sure it is. Troy is an excavated site, the Strait of Messina has carried the name since antiquity, and Ogygia is a modern guess, so every stop names who placed it there. Free.
• Choose what counts toward a road. Turn runs, walks, steps or gym work on and off for each road, and it says when each source started counting. Free.
• Most of a road's pictures wait for you to reach them. Every stop's name and distance are listed from the start, a road shows four pictures up front, and the rest appear with their stories on the day you get there. Free.
• The road tells you when a picture is waiting. The Challenges card counts the stops you have reached but not looked at, and each one wears the word until you open it. Free.
• A postcard for every stop you reach. The picture, the distance and the day, made on your phone and shared only when you pick an app. Free.
• Your bottom bar is yours on Free. Pick and reorder 3–5 tabs from the full grouped catalog. Paid-only destinations stay visible with a PRO badge, and earned PRO time unlocks them too.
• Search reaches the corners of Kinoku. Built-in and custom scenes, every Help answer, Quick Log, Skill Journeys, themes, settings, and every pinnable destination are discoverable, with useful category-wide results.
• Training form on your home screen. Set the Progress widget to Training form. It shows your form number and whether you are Tired, OK or Fresh. The wider sizes add a dot for each of the last eight days. Free.
• Every built-in exercise now shows the right movement. The 1,321-exercise catalog uses 1,138 audited silhouettes; only equivalent or reviewed aliases share art. Icons appear throughout the app, and existing saved choices still work.
• Exercise rows show you what a move works. A small body sits at the edge of each card in the library and in every exercise picker, with the worked muscles lit in that exercise's own colour.
• Skill Journeys turn a move you cannot do yet into a climb. Choose from seven free journeys, run several beside your normal programs, and progress from completed sets instead of checked-off dates. Free.
• The day you land it, you see how you got there. Real weeks, real sessions, and the dated set you started from. Add a photo if you want one and make a card to share. Nothing you earn is lost unless you delete the session it came from. Free.
• Skill guidance reaches the places you already train. Today, Log, Coach, Challenges, exercise details, Stats, the watch, Help, Search, and Your Story all understand the active journey. Assisted moves record help as help, so less assistance reads as progress. Free.
• The plan asks about the test once a week, and never pushes. It says up front that most people need more than one try, and you can try the move early from any step. Repeat-week, step-back, and load offers change the plan only after you accept. Free.
• Skill Journeys survive a move to a new phone. Kinoku ZIP export and restore preserve the journey, linked routines and plans, graduation photo, and progress state without linking them to unrelated local rows.
• Your climb stays in view on rest days too. A small rung marker sits beside the date on Log. Tap it to open the journey, hold it for the board. It steps aside when the day's session already names the skill.
• Three widgets, one job each. Today helps you decide, Progress keeps one chosen signal in view, and Quick Start opens selected routines or actions. App-icon shortcuts and a Quick Settings tile add Start and Resume from anywhere.
• Private by default on the lock screen. Widgets show a generic Summary unless you opt that individual widget into Full details.
• One card on Today, with its reasoning shown. The label on top says whether the pick came from your plan, your usual day, or the next slot in your rotation.
• "Other options" keeps everything the card did not pick. Your other plans, the rotation you skipped past, your last session, plus rest, browse and log.
• Long-press a number on Today's top bar to pick which ones show and what order they sit in. Score always leads, and you keep at least two.
• A brand-new account now opens on a starter pack matched to the focus chosen during setup. Tapping through shows the routines before anything is added.
• Rotation picks say where you are in the week. When a rotation group has a weekly target you set, the card reads it back: "Main 1 of 3 this week."
• A routine you set to repeat now shows up under "Other options" as its due date comes close.
• The import format, written down. kinoku.app/import-format documents the supported layouts, core columns, examples, and parsing rules. For less-common JSON fields, start from a current Export for AI file. The Import screen links to the guide and copies a ready prompt.
• Two Kinoku-owned import files. A flat Kinoku CSV, and a Kinoku Import JSON that carries history, routines, a calendar plan, custom metrics, and training maxes in one file.
• Re-import without the copies. Give each workout an id in a Kinoku file and a second import skips the ones already brought in.
• Hand your training to an AI app. Settings has an Export for AI row: pick a date range, share a small file. Ask for a plan, then share the reply straight back to Kinoku.
• See how far the workout has come. A thin set bar and a count sit in the workout header, and stay pinned at the top of the full-screen session while you scroll. Past the halfway mark it switches to how many sets are left.
• Scan a routine from a photo. Point at a coach's program or a screenshot and Kinoku reads it into a routine on your phone. Check what it was unsure about, then import. Nothing is uploaded.
• Give one exercise its own rest time. From Edit Exercise, pick a quick preset or your own number, or reset it to the default. Pro.
• Each past session on an exercise's History tab now says which routine it came from, with the routine's own icon and color.
• See how each lift did against your usual. The recap keeps one bar per exercise in view, from typical to your 3-month best.
• Your records are reachable from the card that counts them. Tap "2 records in one session" to open the full list.
• Tap a day on the training form chart. It shows that day's date, your form, and the training load behind it.
• Swims, classes, rowing and mobility sessions feed your training form. Kinoku uses how hard you rated the session, or estimates from the activity when you did not rate it.
• Meridian, a new theme, free for everyone. Warm cream with the teal and blue of the app icon's brush ring.
• Light, dark, or match your phone. A Light/Dark/System switch sits atop the theme picker and in Appearance settings. Flip it and every theme preview re-tints with you.
• A routine target that stopped matching your training now says so. The editor lists the sets whose weight and reps were not in your last few sessions, shows what you actually lifted, and changes both numbers together if you tap. Nothing moves until you do.
• Tap the Scene button on Today and "Log a class" now sits under your scenes. Same sheet as before, one fewer place to remember.
• Want it closer? Set the small button next to LOG EXERCISE to open the class sheet. You will find that choice in Appearance, or in the settings sheet on Today.
• The class sheet now opens on whatever class you logged last. Its usual length and muscles come with it, ready to change.
• A Relative Strength card joins your strength scores. It shows each lift as a multiple of your body weight, and it works with biological sex left unset. Pro.
• Your VO₂max now says where it stands. The run dashboard adds a top-percent line against people of your age group and sex, shown only when you are in the top half. Pro.
• Each run's training dose, in numbers. The Training Load screen lists your last five runs with their TSS and TRIMP scores. Pro.
• Appearance settings open as Customize Kinoku. A line at the top says what the screen is for, and the Theme and Coaching tips rows each say what they hold.
• The per-lift standing from the recap now sits under the routine trend on Stats as well, so you can see how each lift did without finishing a workout first.

Changed

• The step tracking card says what stays on when it is off. It is "Count steps with this phone" now. Turn it off and your watch, Health Connect and tracked walks still count.
• Run maps share one pace color scale now. It comes from your last 90 days of running, so the same color means the same pace on every map, the heatmap included. The legend shows the two paces behind it, and the fastest stop is a proper orange.
• This week, today's sources and your step records are free. No tier check on any of the three now.
• Tap a day on the This week chart. The line underneath gives you that day's steps, how far it got toward the goal, and its brisk and run minutes.
• Step records count the week and month you are in, marked "so far". Your best day still waits for the day to finish, with today shown next to it. The streak, the goal rate and the daily average all read from day one instead of hiding until a full week lands.
• Streak challenges drop the rate cards. Projections, What-If and the pace badge fitted a straight line to a number that steps by one, so they read "0.0 / day" and guessed a finish date. Pro.
• Steps leads with today, this week and meaningful movement. The dashboard keeps history visible when phone tracking is off, charts seven real calendar days, and Analytics grows honestly from two days to ninety.
• The home-screen mark has room to breathe. Ensō now wears its teal-and-bronze artwork, Meridian keeps the green-and-blue mark, and both sit cleanly inside round launcher masks. The first-run look chooser features all four branded looks.
• Progression now learns each set position instead of chasing a universal 8–12 rule. It adds one rep at a time, learns when two works, and counts the same work at lower effort as progress.
• Weight jumps no longer cut a set in half. Until your history shows your usual reset, progression drops only two reps. Successful weight-up, reps-down sets teach what you normally do.
• Workout guidance floats beside the set it means. A hard-set note or next target uses one compact bubble without pushing the set list down. Hard sets now stay at the same target and suggest a little more rest. Pro.
• Today is visual where the data earns it. Rotation and habit rails, compact session facts, a free routine canvas, collapsed exercise ideas, and a clearer workout-complete state make the day's answer faster to scan.
• Each number on Today's top bar is now its own button. Workouts opens the calendar, distance opens your runs. Turn on step tracking and today's steps join the row.
• Exports protect the backup already there. Kinoku finishes the archive before publishing, refuses to overwrite a non-empty file, cleans up interrupted saves, and tells you if an incomplete file still needs deleting.
• Undo now covers large step-history restores. Interrupted restores stay visible, daily totals repair before they are published, and Undo preserves local history plus goals you changed afterward.
• Moving phones no longer leaves a half-restored Skill Journey. Photos keep their real image type, repeated restores do not make copies, and an interrupted restore remains safe to undo.
• Photo files are now your choice when exporting. Their metadata stays portable, while the images themselves start off and the confirmation explains that turning them on includes photos still in Trash.
• Exercise charts now zoom to the range you lift in. The Stats graph no longer starts at zero, so a steady climb is easy to see. Session totals still start at zero.
• The exercise graph gets more room mid-workout. The chart keeps at least 180 dp, the records card steps aside on the Graph tab, and the tab scrolls on small screens.
• Your existing Steps widget becomes the configurable Progress widget without losing its place or changing away from Steps until you choose another lens.
• Cycle phases read as one band on the calendar. Days in the same phase join into a single stripe instead of separate ticks, and a small key under the header names the colors.
• Period days are marked, and you can see which ones you logged. A filled circle is a period you entered. A ring is one Kinoku expects.
• Your next period now shows on the calendar. The header named the date, but the day itself was left blank. It is marked with a ring until you log it.
• Data screens open with a big title that tucks itself into the bar as you scroll.
• Your form number now matches everywhere it appears. The Coach card and the Training Load screen could show two different values for the same day.
• Finish a workout and the form curve moves. It used to wait for an overnight job, so a hard session might not show up until the next day.
• Fresh, OK and Tired are set against your own recent range, so the bands mean something whatever your training volume looks like.
• The form chart gives Fitness and Fatigue their own scale, and shows what you can expect if you rest or keep going.
• Backups now verify every database file. Each backup carries a checksum for all of it, and a restore checks them before touching your data.
• A crash can no longer break a restore. The restore now finishes cleanly or puts your old data back exactly as it was.
• Watch workouts survive app resets. Sets logged on the watch that have not reached your phone yet are kept safe and re-sent.
• Workout finishes now survive crashes and force-stops. Records, achievements, rewards, sync, and your Workout Complete recap are saved with the workout. Anything interrupted is caught up next launch and shown once.
• Cycle-phase history and cycle-derived coaching details now stay in Kinoku's Android-cloud-backup-excluded cycle store; existing training, settings, custom metrics, achievements, and exports are preserved during the privacy upgrade.
• Your cycle settings now live in the private cycle store. Standard exports and imports keep them there, Undo included, and Search and Discover always list Cycle Tracking, which starts with its own private setup.
• The app icon is a clean green-to-blue brush ring with a matte polygon dumbbell, and most themes carry that mark inside the app too.
• The Ensō theme keeps its deep teal and brass. It now shows the same new drawing in its own colors, instead of the green-to-blue one.
• Your numbers are the biggest thing on the card now. Stats, records and totals moved to a display font built for figures, so the number leads and its label sits underneath.
• Cards are calmer. Each one is set off by a thin line or a soft lift, never both at once, and the small filled boxes that used to sit inside cards are gone.
• Scroll a data screen and the title shrinks up into the bar. Routines, Lift Progress, Running Progress and Pro Analytics all do this.
• Section headings got smaller and more spaced out, so they label the numbers instead of competing with them.
• Stats summary cards stack at the largest accessibility text sizes, keeping long totals complete instead of clipping them inside a narrow column.
• Feature icons now carry your theme's colours in Search, Settings, and the side menu.
• Faded numbers come from your last session again. Pulling them from an older session that matches today's sets and reps is now a switch in Settings → Workout, and it starts off.
• Your routine can now follow you down as well as up. Lift the same weight and reps three sessions running and the target moves to match, both numbers together. It is a switch in Settings → Workout that starts off, and Undo is always there.
• A routine now starts with your last session's numbers. Each set opens with what you did the last time you ran that routine. Edit the routine after that session and your edit is used instead.
• An easy-day adjustment now scales what you lifted last time. It used to scale the routine's written number.
• A set you add in the routine editor starts as a copy of the one above it. Same type, same numbers, ready to tweak for a progression or a deload.
• Routine changes wait for your tap. After a workout, weight and rep changes go to a review sheet with increases ticked. Want them saved on their own? Auto-apply is a switch in Settings → Workout.
• "Rearrange tabs" is now "Customize bar". Long-press a tab and the menu opens as a small glass panel over the tab you held. Both rows go where they always did.
• New installs open on Meridian. The theme you already picked stays yours.
• Notifications wear the icon you chose. The rest timer, a gym session, a run and the step counter used to carry one fixed badge. Each now shows your app icon.
• Running Progress is the screen's name now, not "Your progress". Stats, Running Progress, Run Analytics, the Health Dashboard and Pro Analytics each say what they are for behind the ⓘ button.

Improved

• Edit a live workout without leaving Today. Tap weight, reps, distance or time in the set row; values save quietly after you pause, while the check stays the explicit “I did this set” action.
• Exercise art is easier to read. Movement silhouettes fill their tiles, worked muscles are shown close up, and Exercise Info and Edit now give the artwork a large preview.
• Seven unfamiliar screens now explain themselves once, then stay out of the way. Five of them keep that summary behind the ⓘ button, and Rotation Groups also says how it powers Smart Today.
• Your recent runs carry their route. Each card in Run Analytics now shows a faded outline of the path between its stats.
• Maps stay sharp however far you zoom. On the Standard, Light, Dark and Voyager styles, roads and labels are drawn on your phone instead of arriving as fixed pictures, so nothing turns blurry when you pinch in. Topo still uses picture tiles.
• Run maps make speed feel earned. Slower sections begin in slate, then climb through green, blue and violet to gold at your fastest.
• Change your rest time and it saves itself. No need to press start for it to stick.
• The rest timer shows the rest it saved. While the countdown runs you can read the full length under it, so the timer no longer hides what it will use next time.
• Log a class now appears in Discover Kinoku, with a direct path to the class sheet.
• Deleted workouts are easier to find. Trash now sits in the Calendar settings sheet as well as Data settings.
• The watch now hears about every routine edit. Removing, reordering, supersetting, or changing sets used to leave the watch showing an old version until something else synced.
• Wilks and DOTS are easier to find. Search knows them now, and the Strength tab shows the two profile fields the scores wait on, with a button that takes you there. Pro.
• Swipe sideways to move between the Run Analytics tabs. Tapping a tab still works.

Fixed

• Cleared weight, reps and effort stay cleared while you edit a set, including when you immediately mark it incomplete.
• Matching a previous set preserves its exact weight when logging in pounds; later manual edits still take precedence.
• A delayed autosave keeps the set's latest completion state, notes and captured body weight.
• Completing a set no longer pulls you away from a newer selection or updates another exercise's remembered load.
• Skill goals and receipts now follow renamed exercises and later log edits, even after a journey ends. Repeated workout delivery no longer earns extra ladder progress.
• Paused skills still count logged workouts. Their planned sessions and offers pause; resuming moves only unchanged paused dates and keeps your edits.
• Weekly skill counts follow your local calendar and the sessions actually scheduled. Goal receipts show the set and metric that earned the move.
• Progression advice keeps the right set position when earlier sets are unfinished, and changing body weight no longer counts as repeating the same load. Pro.
• Small increments stay exact. Accepted advice preserves fractional weights through unit changes and reopening. Later edits keep the fields you changed, and delayed acceptance cannot undo a completed set. Pro.
• Repeating an equal bodyweight performance no longer earns a false strength record when historical load calculations differ at floating-point precision.
• Undoing an import keeps later sets, routines and measurements that use exercises or metrics the import added.
• A workout resumed or deleted while its recap is being prepared no longer publishes that stale recap.
• Watch route transfers stay available to retry after a temporary phone database failure.
• Turning off photo-scan AI stops its assistance immediately and keeps the text-reader result. Returning to the scanner or Import & Export refreshes model preparation, and failed downloads wait for your retry.
• A Hevy export in pounds imports now. Hevy names its weight column after your unit setting, and Kinoku only knew the kilogram name, so a pound export was refused, and its current date format put workouts on the wrong day.
• Photo-scan AI only appears where it can work. Supported phones can switch it on from the scanner or Import & Export, and model preparation now resumes after an interruption.
• Kinoku could close itself over and over when step tracking was on but had no permission to count your steps. That hit people who switched off Physical activity, and people who moved to a new phone. Tracking now waits quietly, and starts again by itself once you allow it.
• Step counting no longer stops after six hours on Android 15 and newer. It was running under a rule with a daily time limit. When the limit hit, Kinoku could also close itself again and again for the rest of the day.
• Take away Kinoku's location permission in the middle of a run and Kinoku used to close, come back, and close again. Now it stops tracking, and keeps what it recorded for the next time you open a run.
• Swipe the step notification away and it stays away. It used to be back within a minute of walking. On Android 14 and up it now stays hidden until tracking restarts, like after a reboot.
• Step Analytics shows the period you meant. Charts open on the newest date, keep a tapped past bar selected, distinguish missing periods from zero, and sum changing daily goals exactly. Records and brisk trends now show their dates and supporting counts. Pro.
• The Kinoku mark in your status bar is readable again. It was a shrunken copy of the app icon, so it blurred into a smudge. Each icon now has its own small version drawn for that size.
• The cycle calendar swipes sideways now. Months move left and right, so scrolling the page up and down no longer fights the grid. Arrows sit above it if you would rather tap.
• Today keeps its period buttons. Tapping today on the cycle calendar opened a day with no "Log period start" on it. It now offers the same buttons as any other day.
• A bad translation no longer closes the app. The Coach screen crashed in German, Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese, and the routine review sheet in French and Italian. A broken line now falls back to English instead of closing the screen.
• Some German, Spanish and French text had broken accents. Lines like "NÄCHSTES SIGNAL" and "PATRÓN" showed the wrong characters. 21 lines are repaired.
• Starting a run with weather turned on no longer closes the app. Kinoku could not read the weather reply and shut down instead of carrying on without it. Pasting a video link into a routine could fail the same way.
• Your step history adds up again. Days that recorded thousands of steps could show as 0 or a handful, because the daily total was written on a timer that a closing app cancelled. Kinoku repairs those days from what it recorded, once, on the next launch.
• A circuit day counts toward your streak badge everywhere. Timer-run circuits, watch runs and empty saves already showed on Today. Now the badges, the tree and the share card count them too, so the same day is not a training day on one screen and a rest day on another.
• Your Pulse card stops arguing with itself. It showed a streak of four days beside a workout count of zero when those four days were circuits. Both numbers read the same history now.
• A finished challenge keeps the shape it finished with. Opening an old one used to redraw its whole chart from scratch, which could move the line. Streak charts on long histories open faster as well.
• A bench or squat challenge now tracks the bar lift you meant. The strength templates were matching a variation, so the session you just logged never counted. New challenges bind correctly, and the goal screen names the exercise it is watching.
• Change which exercise a challenge follows. Edit a challenge and pick a different lift. The ring and the chart both catch up on the spot.
• "Include all history" works without restarting the app. The switch now sits on the challenge itself, and the ring and the chart update the moment you flip it.
• A weekly streak reads as weeks. "Build the Habit" counts weeks where you hit your goal, but the badge said Sessions. It now says weeks, with a line showing the days you have trained this week.
• Maps are readable again. Four of the five map styles had "API KEY REQUIRED" printed across them, on route maps, the heatmap and share cards. Those four come from a different source now, so they draw clean. Topo was never affected.
• Maps credit their source on screen, and a share card carries the credit its own map style asks for.
• The Quick Start widget preview shows up in the widget picker. It used to say "Couldn't add widget." on some phones.
• Stats gives your charts more room. Its title now sits in the compact top bar, and the extra blank strip above the bottom navigation is gone.
• Screens use the whole space above the bottom bar again. Steps, analytics, and every customizable destination no longer lose a navigation-bar-high strip of content.
• Score history from a v1.2 full export is back. Older scores return to Score story after an upgrade or restore, while forecasts and records continue using only scores backed by the current evidence rules.
• Best Time now means your best time. Timed-exercise graphs showed the latest hold instead of the longest one in the chosen range, and called ordinary active holds projected records. The info button no longer takes a row of its own.
• Years of step history no longer make an export or restore run out of memory. Samples move in small batches while keeping the full history intact.
• A newer Kinoku export can carry an unfamiliar CSV without blocking everything else. The unknown table is checked, skipped, and named in the import notices.
• Editing a completed set no longer risks closing the app while its row and input panel resize together.
• Typing a rest time no longer fights the keyboard. Tapping minutes or seconds selects that part, and the first digit stays put instead of being padded and rejecting the next one.
• Travel no longer moves a planned day in Export for AI. Changing your phone's time zone while Kinoku stayed open could write a scheduled workout as the day before.
• Yesterday's workout stays on yesterday. Reopen a finished session, add a set, tap Finish today: the end time grows by the minutes you spent in it instead of jumping to right now.
• Set a session's start and end, dates included. Tap the times or the duration on a finished card. One editor holds both, shows the length as you go, and warns past twelve hours.
• A class or guided session read "21:41 of activity", which looks like a clock. It now says "22 min of activity", and the big card uses the same words.
• Focus Mode tells you it is on. The toast has a Turn off button, and an empty day carries a small note, so a stray double-tap never looks like a broken screen.
• Browsing back to a finished day no longer greets you with "Great session". The header talks about today only.
• A planned rest day no longer shows a Start button that does nothing. Rest and cross-train days were offered with a live button that led nowhere.
• Your scheduled workout stopped hiding behind a collapsed section. If you had ever collapsed "Today", a session you scheduled went with it.
• A second workout planned for the same day is reachable again. Only the first one was reaching the screen.
• The card could claim you trained more weeks than exist. Two sessions in one day counted twice, and a session logged today counted against weeks that had not finished.
• Today's ideas were secretly alphabetical. Most picks scored the same, and every tie fell to A-to-Z, so the list opened on whatever came first in the alphabet. It now leans on lifts you have actually done, and shuffles the rest daily. Pro.
• Plus and minus work while you rest. They did nothing once the countdown started. A tap now adds or trims ten seconds, and a preset moves the running rest as well.
• The recap stopped quoting a total you could not check. It said "2 of 4 lifts at a new best" on an eight-exercise day; it now names the count alone.
• The Pro description for Tomorrow's focus promised four states, two of which the app never shows. It now names the real ends of the scale.
• Reduced Motion now does what its own description promises. Switching it on used to leave the Pulse orb breathing, every loading shimmer running, and the step screen still crossfading its colours.
• Turkish readers: the wordmark is spelled Kinoku again. It came out as KİNOKU on the splash screen and the bet result card, and a few English labels picked up Turkish dots.
• Small icon buttons told screen readers they were smaller than the area you can actually tap. About fifty of them now report their real size.
• A routine now starts the same from every door. Starting from the routine editor or the calendar used to skip percent-of-max weights, warmups, and program adjustments that the Today tab applied.
• Circuit routines from the calendar now ask for Pro. They used to open a broken plain session from there; every door now uses the same gate. Pro.
• Creating a routine no longer loses your draft. If the save fails or your phone rotates part way, everything you typed is still there, with a clear message and a Retry.
• Finish a run from the Today card and it keeps its analytics. Splits, pace, heart-rate zones and the map used to vanish, and they were gone for good. Finishing from the run screen was never affected.
• A plan you missed is no longer stuck on the calendar. Tap it and the actions open, so you can start it, move it or delete it.
• Some screens quoted the wrong numbers. The app said 21 themes in one place and 22 in another when there are 26, and 1,100 exercises when there are more than 1,300.
• Photo overlay sharing is free, and the FAQ now says so. It listed the feature under Pro, which was wrong.
• The paywall and a few help answers still offered Elite, a tier that merged into Pro. They all say Pro now. Strength bands like the Elite DOTS level keep the word, because there it means a level, not a price.
• Sets you log on the watch now wait for your phone to confirm it has them. The watch used to let go as soon as it handed the set over, so a set could disappear if the phone never wrote it.
• The watch runs one session at a time. Starting a gym workout while a run is tracking, or a run over an open workout, now says which one is already going instead of leaving two live at once.
• A starter pack no longer leaves a workout that looks like it is already running. One of those could stop you starting a run.
• The Scene button in the action bar tells screen readers what it is, and it holds its width at large text sizes instead of shrinking to nothing.
• "Tap row to complete sets" is now honored on the Today card. With that setting off, a tap on a set row there still marked the set done and filled in last session’s weight and reps.
• The muscle map opens on the view you picked. Set the default to Recovery and it opened on Frequency anyway.
• The cycle calendar starts the week on the day you chose in Settings. It used to follow the phone's language.
• Load and Scene sit in the middle of their chips on Today. They used to hug the top with empty space underneath.
• Long-press a muscle on the Today figure and the Start button stays in reach. The recovery block used to push it under the action bar.
• Zone Training weeks are sorted by each run's own date. Old runs had collapsed into the current week. Kinoku regroups them once, on the next launch. Pro.
• The Pulse panel is titled for Longevity mode when that mode is on. It kept the standard title before.
• A cross-train day on Today says "Log Bike ride" now. "Start" promised a session it never opened.

Added

• Your run map now says what its colors mean. A small key sits on the map, and tapping it explains that green is your fastest stretch on that run rather than a fixed pace.
• Log a class in a few taps. Pick the activity, how long, how hard it felt, and the muscles it worked. Yoga, spin, HIIT and barre are all in the list, and the session lands on your calendar and your muscle map.
• Edit an exercise from the workout screen, or save a copy. Change its name, type, gear, or muscles, and pick whether your past workouts come along.
• Three app icons. Ensō as before, plus Volt and Ensō Red. Settings → Appearance → App Icon. It follows your theme unless you pin one.
• Kinoku asks which look you want the first time you open it. Ensō, Volt or Ensō Red. Your pick sets the colors, the home screen icon and the mark inside the app. The other themes are still there, under More themes.
• Android Settings keeps showing the Ensō icon whatever you pick. Android only lets the home screen change.
• Your cycle phases can show on the Training Calendar. A thin colored line under each day, a phase line above the grid, and a legend for the colors.
• Cycle settings sit one tap from the cycle screen. Set your cycle length by hand, or let Kinoku work it out from the periods you have logged.
• Edit the dates of any period, not just the last one. Start, end, or both, from the history list, the calendar, or the buttons under your phase card. The old Adjust end date button did nothing at all.

Changed

• One 1 to 5 scale for every daily symptom, and a picker to set it. Cramps, bloating and flow used to run 0 to 3, and tapping a ring nudged the number. Now every level is on screen.
• Cycle colors follow your theme. They were the same teal and amber on all 23 themes, whatever the rest of the app looked like.
• The cycle calendar shows one month at a time. A scroll now lands on the next month instead of halfway down a week.
• There is one paid plan now, and it is Pro. Elite closed. Everything it held moved into Pro at the price Pro already cost: the analytics hub, Readiness, autoregulation, weight suggestions, Coach patterns, race predictions, ghost run compare.
• Elite Analytics is now called Pro Analytics. Same tabs, same numbers, same place in the menu.
• The whole periodization system moved to free. Only the parts that tune a program for you stay Pro: volume landmarks, RIR autoregulation, readiness.
• Obsidian and Aurora are Pro themes. Six of the 23 themes are Pro; the other 17 stay free.
• Rewards are for free users only. Earning Pro time still works the same way. A paying subscriber has nothing left to earn, so the six Pro-to-Elite rewards are retired.
• The training calendar keeps five Pro shortcuts: drag a plan to another day, pull one to today, repeat a day, move a whole day, and set a workout to repeat. Pro. Copying a day to today stays free.
• The training calendar stopped counting. Free users used to get ten planned workouts, two weeks ahead. Both limits are gone, so you can plan what you want as far out as you want.
• Free users get two Pulse insights a day instead of one. Pro gets five.
• Custom metrics lost their three-at-a-time limit, and every metric type is open. Importing a file no longer trims them either.
• The Circuit Warrior starter pack is free. Its two routines import as normal workouts, so you can start them without Circuit mode. Circuit mode itself is still Pro.
• Free Pulse forecasts reach a day ahead. Pro reaches three days and a week.
• Building a routine starts with the exercises. The list sits at the top of the screen, with name, video and settings tucked into small cards below it. Add Exercise stays pinned at the bottom, so you never scroll to find it.
• Pick several exercises in one go. Tap each one you want, then tap Add. The picker used to shut after every single pick.
• Every exercise you add arrives with three empty sets, ready to fill in. The app does not guess your weights.
• A new routine opens straight on the exercise picker. Creating one only asks for a name. Color and icon moved into the routine itself, where you can see them against it.

Fixed

• A cycle day reads the same wherever you look at it. The calendar could draw a green fertile ring on a day whose sheet said Ovulatory. A day now carries both, the ring and a colored line for the phase, and both screens work them out the same way.
• Fertile rings and the peak-day dot only appear if Trying to conceive is on. They used to show for anyone tracking a cycle, asked for or not.
• During pregnancy the day sheet stops naming a cycle phase. The grid already did, so tapping a day still answered "Luteal phase".
• Search opens search. Tapping Search in the side panel used to drop you back on the last screen you had opened from a result, and it stayed that way until you restarted the app.
• When Kinoku relabels a run as a walk, you can now agree or fix it right there. The Today card says what it did and offers Keep or Change. The old line said "Auto-classified · tap to confirm" and led to a screen with nothing to confirm.
• That prompt now shows on an expanded run card too. It only ever appeared on the collapsed one, and Kinoku opens your latest run expanded, so most people never saw it.
• Undo actually undoes a reclassify. The button was there after you changed a run's type, but tapping it did nothing at all.
• The colored band across the top of every screen is gone. The strip behind the clock and battery was a flat block of color that stopped dead where the page began. The background now runs all the way up.
• Volt's dark background is teal again. It used to go olive green, which is not a Volt color at all.
• Ensō Red no longer turns grey down the middle of the screen. It stays warm from top to bottom.
• Tap a run's header bar to fold the map away. Only the small arrow used to close it, and tapping the bar did nothing.
• The X on the run map's detail cards closes them. Tapping it did nothing at all, on both the point card and the sector card. Tapping bare map was the only way out.
• Step tracking uses far less battery. The motion sensor used to stream to the processor all day and never stop, even sitting on a desk. It now arrives in short bursts instead.
• Leaving the Steps screen open and pressing home used to keep every sensor running at full speed until you closed the app. It winds down when the screen goes away.
• The tracking mode cards describe the real difference. They used to sell live cadence as a Precision perk and deny it to Efficient, when it works in every mode while the Steps screen is open.
• Step counting now reads the sensor's own clock. Your phone saves motion up and hands it over in bursts, and the old check timed a burst by when it arrived rather than when you moved. That could hide real steps, or count a phone sitting on a desk.
• The chips above a routine jump to the right section. Tapping Settings used to scroll you to the video card instead.
• Clearing a routine's name no longer saves it blank. An empty box now reads as a name you are still typing.
• The watch asks for location and sensors before a run. It never used to. On newer watches the missing grant crashed the app the moment you tapped Start Run.
• Heart rate on the watch works now. The app listed the sensor permission but never asked for it, so it stayed off. Android 16 renamed it too, and the app now handles both names.
• Watch text and buttons stay inside the round screen. Titles and pills used to be sliced by the curve near the top and bottom.
• A workout keeps its watch-face indicator if heart rate drops out. Another app grabbing the sensor used to make the whole session disappear from the watch face.
• A workout you finish on the watch arrives finished. With the phone out of range, the watch could hand over its older in-progress copy last, so the phone offered to Resume a session you had already done. On the watch it could disappear.
• The watch-face chip names your session and counts with you. It shows a running stopwatch instead of a frozen line, sits in recent apps like Play asks, and tapping it takes you back to your run.
• The Quick Start tile knows when you are running. It used to say Ready mid-run. It now shows your distance and takes you back to the run.
• Edits you make from now on stay yours. App updates used to put back our gear and bodyweight settings, and on some moves our exercise type. Edits made before this update get overwritten one last time, then they are safe.
• Rename a built-in exercise and the next update used to add it back under the old name. Renames from here on are safe. One you did earlier still leaves a copy behind, once.
• The Subscription screen shows your real plan during a boost. It used to dress you in a giant ELITE badge, hide the Upgrade and Compare buttons, and list the boosted plan as yours. The boost now gets its own labeled chip instead.
• Reward time adds up the way it says. Rewards earned together used to run at the same time, so 336 banked hours could deliver only 168 on the clock. New grants now queue end to end.
• Each reward shows once in Recent activity. Every grant used to appear twice, as "Earned" and again as "Reward granted".
• Rewards arrive a couple at a time. Importing a big history used to fire every earned reward in one dump. The rest still come, spread over your next workouts, and milestones now land before repeatable streak rewards.
• The 1-Year Anniversary reward counts time using the app. It used to count from your oldest workout, so importing old data could claim a year on day one.
• Repeating your best set exactly no longer shows a new PR. It only hit certain weight and rep pairs, which is why it looked random.
• A repeated session no longer wins a volume record it did not set. This hit bodyweight sets. It also hit anyone who logs in pounds, because pounds are saved as kilos and rarely land on a round number.
• This update does not rewrite your saved records. One thing to know: the app rebuilds PR history from scratch when you edit an old workout, restore a backup, import data, or sync your watch. A rebuild uses the new rule.
• The label above the faded numbers used to round your reps up. A session you logged as 19 then 17 showed as "2×19", and it said "Last" for a session that was not your last one. It now names the real range and the date.
• Tapping a set complete now saves the RPE it was showing. The Complete button already did, so whether your effort was kept came down to which one you tapped.
• Your watch no longer clears an RPE you typed on your phone. A set synced from the watch with no RPE used to wipe it.
• An exercise added mid-workout lands where you did it. It used to go to the end of the routine, so opening with a new superset pushed it to the bottom.
• Buttons at the bottom of a dialog no longer hide under the navigation bar. On a small phone, creating a new metric was impossible: Cancel and Create sat below the edge of the screen and nothing would scroll them up.
• The same fix reaches the muscle-activation prompts, the rest timer, the plate calculator, the time picker, and the add-exercise sheet. Long dialogs now scroll, and their buttons stay put at the bottom.
• Open the keyboard in a dialog and the buttons ride above it instead of vanishing behind it.
• A set now moves as a whole. Lift heavier for fewer reps and the routine used to keep the heavier weight against the old rep target, giving you a set nobody had done. Both halves now wait for you together.
• Apply all says what it left alone. Skipped exercises and lower reps are still never applied on their own. What was left alone now shows up on your workout summary, unticked, so you can take any of it or none of it.
• A suggested RPE now looks suggested. It used to draw exactly like a saved rating. A suggestion now shows faded until you touch it or it saves. One case stays solid: when its RIR partner is already saved. Screen readers hear the difference too.
• Mark Incomplete keeps your effort rating. Un-completing a set with an empty RPE field used to erase the rating you had saved.
• The Match chip no longer clears your RPE when last session had none. It also saves what it fills in, instead of showing numbers that were never stored.
• Two sets no longer glow at once. Tap a row while the next-set highlight is still animating and a bright teal outline used to freeze on the wrong set until you left the screen.
• Buttons on an empty screen stack full width, one under the other. A label as long as Browse Starter Packs used to wrap a syllable per line into a tall broken column.
• Paying members can reach Compare plans again. The third button on the Subscription screen sat past the edge of the screen with nothing to scroll, so the door was simply gone.
• The Upgrade card in the side panel stays put while a reward boost runs. Free members who earned a few days of Pro used to lose the way to buy it.
• The Exercise Library dropped the empty strip that sat under its Category and Exercise buttons.
• The body-weight percent box wears a "%" instead of a label that never fit. The words used to wrap across the outline and over your number.

Added

• Save the order you trained in. The after-workout review offers to write your new exercise order back to the routine, and names only what you moved. Free.
• Tap a route on the heatmap to see its runs. Every run on that course lights up and lists below, with the group's total distance. Pro.
• Challenge goals for holds. Pick "Longest Hold" to track your best single wall sit, L-sit, or plank instead of adding the sets up. Free.
• 28 steps toward the big bodyweight moves. Negative pull-ups, active hangs, false grip hangs, wall walks, tuck front levers, and box pistol squats fill the gap between beginner and the pull-up, muscle-up, handstand, front lever, L-sit, and pistol squat. Free.
• Set how much body weight a move lifts. Total Load shows the share it uses, flags when that share is a fallback guess, and lets you change it. Free.

Changed

• The Upgrade screen leads with the price and the buy button. Both plans sit on one page with their own prices, and the buy button stays at the bottom while you read. Free.

Fixed

• One price at a time on the Upgrade screen. Yearly used to show three prices that could not all be true. Each now appears once, in the order you pay it. Free.
• Monthly leads with what you pay today. It showed the full price three times and the cheaper first months once, which did not match Google's purchase sheet. Free.
• The free trial stays on screen. Picking monthly used to make the yearly plan's trial line vanish with no explanation. Free.
• "Choose Pro" says when it is a scheduled switch. That tap does not buy anything today. It changes your plan when the current one ends. Free.
• The set you are editing stays in view. A set near the bottom could hide behind the input panel while you typed into it. Free.
• Your exercise notes survive a routine update. Tapping Update Routine from a workout used to wipe them, and Undo could not bring them back. Free.
• So does the rest of your programming. Rep ranges, target RPE, rest times, and the "% of training max" setting all survive now. Free.
• Supersets stay together when a routine updates. A pair split by another exercise closes ranks instead of quietly pulling the third exercise in. Free.
• Empty sets show up now. A set with no weight or reps was hidden but still blocked the exercise from being done, so there was nothing to tap. Free.
• Supersets stop at the end of the round. Logging the last set sent you back to the first exercise. Kinoku now skips the ones you finished. Free.
• 13 moves log the right thing now. The neck holds and Downward Facing Balance log seconds, Iron Cross logs weight and seconds, the sleds log weight and distance, and the 12-3-30 walk logs distance and time. Five core moves went back to reps. Free.
• Your own log-type picks are kept. If you set the log type yourself in the exercise editor, this change leaves it alone. Free.
• Older sets for those 13 moves may look blank. Nothing is deleted, but a set logged under the old type can show empty in History until you log it again. Free.
• Fewer twins in the exercise library. 20 pairs like "Ring Dip" and "Ring Dips" merge into one history, so your records see all your work. Your watch keeps the old name until the updated watch app syncs your phone's library. Free.
• Dead Bug counts as strength again. It was filed as a stretch, so it added nothing to your muscle map or your weekly volume. Free.
• Pushups sits near the top of the picker again. A duplicate row in our library files carried no sort order and won, dropping it to the bottom. Free.
• Flutter Kicks and Thoracic Rotation split into two moves each. One name was doing two jobs, so the details read as a blend. The second is now Prone Flutter Kicks and Supine Thoracic Rotation. Free.
• Programs open for Pro members again. The library and the builder could send you to the upgrade screen because they read your tier before it had loaded. Pro.
• No lock badges on features you already own. Search results, the Weekly Volume card, and the autoregulation card tagged them as locked. They look at your tier now. Pro and Elite.
• The empty Programs screen has a way forward. With no program running it offers "Browse templates" and "Build your own" instead of only a back button. Pro.
• The program builder says what Activate needs. Activate stays off until a week has a routine, and the reason sits above the button. Pro.
• Ready-made challenges pick the move they name. A template matched any close name, so "30-Second L-Sit" filled in Foot-Supported L-Sit. The exact name wins now. Free.

Added

• Two more languages. Kinoku speaks Bulgarian and Turkish now, on the phone and the watch. Free.
• See how a whole routine is trending. One chart tracks total work and another tracks strength, with each lift measured against its own starting point. Free.
• A look-back after a routine session. On a new best or a milestone, the recap shows today against your usual for the whole routine. Free.
• See how each lift is going. A label says progressing, holding, or slipping, and a shaded band on the chart shows the usual range of your recent sessions. Free.
• Skip a move in progress tracking. One switch in the exercise info sheet keeps warm-ups, stretches, and rehab work from ever getting a stuck flag. Free.
• Ideas for a stuck lift. A card lists a few things lifters try, like one extra set, a lighter week, or a close swap, each with why it might fit. Pro.
• All your lifts at a glance. The Lift Progress screen ranks your lifts with the ones that need a look on top, over a grid of trend charts on one shared scale. Pro.
• A bigger moment for a real record. An all-time best now leads the recap with one gold card, a small burst, and a firm buzz. Free.
• The coach can flag lifts worth a look. A Coach card points out up to three stalled or slipping lifts, with one plain line about why. Pro.
• Scrub through your score history. Drag across the chart to land on any day and read one plain line about what pushed it up or down. Free; the 1-year and all-time views are Pro.
• Re-open your workout recap. Open any past workout and tap "View recap" to see its PRs, muscle map, and score again. Free.
• A lower price to start, for new members. Monthly Pro or Elite at half price for the first 3 months, and the first-year discount on yearly plans now shows next to the price you pay after. No countdown, no pressure.
• Top speed joins the run compare card. Today's peak speed sits next to your usual and your best. Pro.
• Jump between your run pages. The compare card opens Running Progress at the matching distance, and any personal best there opens its run. The card is Pro; the screen is free.
• Your routines can hold a plan for each set. Add a rep range, a target effort, and a rest time, and each set shows its target as a hint you can always override. Free.
• Set a weight as a share of your training max. A set can hold a percent instead of a fixed weight, and every routine keeps up when you change the training max. Free.
• Warm-up sets can build themselves. Switch on auto warm-up for an exercise and Kinoku ramps you up to your first working weight. Free.
• Set a tempo for each exercise. Four boxes hold the seconds for lowering, pausing, lifting, then pausing again, shown as a hint on every set. Free.
• See how your running has grown. Your fastest pace, fastest 5K, top speed, longest run, and biggest climb, each with the day you set it, plus charts over time. Free.
• A home-screen widget. Your Kinoku Score, today's plan, and streak, switching to your live set and rest timer while you train. Two sizes. Free.
• See how two runs stack up, in plain words. The compare card sums it up in one line, like "This run was quicker, mostly in the back half." Elite.
• The compare list finds your best match first. Same-route runs come first, then close distances, then recent runs. Elite.
• A nudge to compare your route. Open a run you have done before and Kinoku offers to line it up against your last one on that route. Elite.
• Four new starter packs. Bodyweight Basics, Home Dumbbell, Glutes & Lower Body, and Hybrid Athlete, and General Fitness is a full three-day week now. Free.
• See how a run compares to your past runs. One plain line leads, then pace, heart rate, and fitness each sit on their own track against your usual, with hill-adjusted pace so different routes stay fair. Pro.
• Pro has a lifetime option now. Buy Pro once and keep it, the same as Elite.
• See what's new after an update. A card on Today sums up the main changes, and a "What's new" row in Settings opens the full changelog. Free.

Changed

• A cleaner Today card. The green "Looks good" tag is gone from normal days, so a tag now means Kinoku adjusted something. Free.
• Run days show your runs. On a run day the Today card swaps the muscle map for a chart of your last few runs. Pro.
• Your Story is fully free now. The Personality and Fun Facts cards no longer ask for Elite.
• Estimated prices say so now. When the Play Store cannot load real prices, the rough US dollar prices are labeled as estimates.
• The Run Studio map is colored by pace now. Same pace colors as the run summary map, with a small key. The ghost run stays flat so the two never mix up. Free.
• The compare picker shows each run's route shape. Each row draws the route next to the run's name and your notes. Elite.
• Tapping a run opens its summary now. Splits, map, and stats first, with Run Studio one tap further. Free.
• "Pro" and "Elite" read as words now. Prompts and buttons use the plain words; the small badge tags stay PRO and ELITE. Free.
• Coach alerts lead the screen. An alert now sits above the fitness curve. Pro.
• Rest today moved into the Today header. It sits next to the section title instead of under the card. Free.
• The "unfinished workout" card makes more sense now. The button says "Review", a new "Keep" leaves the day in your history, and "Discard" still moves it to the Trash. Free.

Improved

• Screen readers can drive the bottom tabs. They say each tab's name and whether it is picked, and the tab menu opens without a long press. Free.
• The set-logging controls are labeled for screen readers. The plus and minus buttons read like "Increase Weight" or "Decrease Reps", so the two pads are easy to tell apart. Free.
• The set checkbox works with a screen reader now. It says its name and whether the set is done, and it has a bigger tap area. Free.
• Screen readers now read the main charts. The Stats activity map and the Running Progress trend chart give a short summary instead of nothing. Free.
• Charts and cards respect your "remove animations" setting. The always-on pulses and shimmers hold still. Free.
• A calmer rest timer. With animations off, it holds a steady color in the last 10 seconds instead of flashing. Free.
• Your lift chart moves under your finger. Drag to slide through your sessions, with a soft tick on each one and a stronger tick on record days. Free.
• Lift charts come alive when they open. The line sweeps in, the dots pop in one after another, and the fill fades in last. Free.
• Your records show right on the lift chart. Record sessions shine as gold dots and your latest session draws a little bigger. Free.
• Your lift trend lines now compare fairly. Each little chart is drawn against its own start, on one shared scale and timeline. Pro.
• The routine charts mark their own baselines. The strength chart draws your starting point and the volume chart your typical session. Free.
• Chart numbers land on even steps now. Side labels read 150, 160, 170 instead of odd numbers like 162 and 174. Free.
• Estimated 1RM reads like the estimate it is. Whole numbers, like 192 instead of 192.9. Your logged weights still show exactly as you typed them. Free.
• A clearer session line in your lift history. Each past session sums up as your top set and estimated 1RM. Free.
• A friendlier empty Exercises tab. Your most-trained lifts show as chips you can tap to jump to a chart. Free.
• Locked previews are easier to read. The note about what you would get sits on its own panel instead of overlapping the preview.
• Ties now read as ties. A tied 5K no longer shows as worse, and a flat week no longer shows as a gain. Free.
• A clearer run compare card when only one run matches. Each stat shows a simple tag like "15s slower" instead of a slider with nowhere to move. Pro.
• Compare colors now match everywhere. Better, worse, same, and new best use the same colors on every screen, a new best is always gold, and heart rate and climb never get a good or bad color. Free.
• Run analytics are easier to find. A Run Analytics card on the Stats tab opens your pace, zones, and fitness. Free.
• Same-route runs line up by distance. The ghost run lines up by how far you had gone, not by the clock, so a hill sits under the same spot on both lines. Elite.
• Quick links to your run screens. The side menu links straight to Run Analytics, Run Studio, Route Heatmap, and Running Progress. Free; Route Heatmap is Pro.
• A record run turns gold. The new-best banner uses the app's record color instead of green. Free.
• Easier to tap. Settings rows, the daily tip's close button, and the tip arrows on Today all meet the standard touch size. Free.
• Your Stats screen makes more sense now. Overview leads with your activity map, info buttons explain each number, and empty parts say so instead of vanishing. Free.
• Gentler recovery notes. Coach notes about deloads, a high resting heart rate, and short sleep read as observations, not orders. Free.
• Locked features look the same everywhere. The PRO and ELITE tags and the locked cards share one look across the app. Free.
• A muscle's numbers, explained. A new info button covers what Volume, Intensity, Status, and Frequency each mean. Free.
• A calmer moment after your workout. Several achievements at once collapse into one note, and a celebration waits until you close the summary. Free.
• Fewer back-to-back tips. The little coaching tips share one small budget, so you will not get a train of them. Free.
• The weekly health digest stays closed. Close it and it stays gone for the week. Free.
• Clearer names, kinder wording. Each feature goes by one name across the app, and more coach tips read as calm suggestions in plainer words. Free.
• The side menu is grouped now. Rows sit under headings like Train, Review, and Insights, and Programs has its own row. Free; Programs is Pro.
• A few small clarity touches. An info button on Recovery Progress, icons on the Settings sections, and the side menu opens from the Insights tab. Free.

Fixed

• Elite strength scores unlock the way they should. DOTS, IPF GL, and Wilks now name the missing biological sex setting, the standard barbell squat counts toward your total, accessories stay out, and FFMI works without a sex setting. Elite.
• The home-screen widget stops nagging about old workouts. A workout only counts as live for its first day, and tapping a live one opens straight to it. Free.
• Clean up a workout you never really started. A card on Today lets you open an empty session again or move it to the trash, with undo. Free.
• "All-time Best" means all time now. The gold best tile used to show only the best inside the time range you picked. Free.
• Chart summary chips stick to your data. High and Low could pick up a guide line's value, like "High 9" on an effort chart you never pushed past 6.5. Free.
• Recap chips read truer. A chip that rounds to 0 no longer carries an up arrow, and the missing space before the weight unit is back. Free.
• One billing message at a time. Only the most important notice shows on your home screen; the rest live on your Subscription screen.
• Run days start a real run now. The Today card's Start button opens the GPS run tracker instead of a plain gym session. Free.
• Streaks and week-based achievements count right around clock changes. Daylight saving days used to break a streak or cost a week-based badge. Free.
• Your Pulse "Training Variety" score reads truer now. It compares muscle groups to muscle groups instead of to your past exercise count, so scores read a bit higher. Free.
• Warm-ups no longer pad your totals. Only working sets count toward stats totals and exercise challenge progress, so a padded challenge may show a lower, truer number. Free.
• Program templates work again. Starting a ready-made program could fail for everyone, even Elite. Pro and Elite.
• Restore can't take your plan away anymore. A restore only confirms or lifts your plan, and the startup check got the same guard.
• A purchase that finishes late counts right away now. Your plan saves the moment the charge lands instead of waiting for a restart.
• "You already own this" now unlocks your plan. The app finds your purchase and turns your plan on instead of showing an error.
• Free trials show up when you qualify. The app picks the best offer you qualify for, and the trial badge matches what you get.
• Your watch keeps up with your plan. Upgrading reaches your watch right away instead of waiting for an unrelated settings change. Free.
• Some moves now count in the right place. Yoga, stretch, and dance no longer add to strength volume, and seated dumbbell moves count again. This fixes itself next launch. Free.
• The run replay buttons are not cut off anymore. On phones with the three-button bar they sat behind it. Pro and Elite.
• Back works right after a run. The back button takes you to Today instead of reopening the finish screen. Free.
• Search stopped showing a retired feature. Searching "garden" pointed to a feature shelved before launch.
• Search finds "flex metrics" again. The screen is called Daily Pulse Metrics now, and the old name still finds it. Free.
• The notification ask stops after a few tries. It asks a few times at most, a day apart, then leaves it to Settings. Free.
• Your step weeks start on the day you picked. The grid, charts, records, and weekly goal follow your app setting, not your phone's, so weekly totals and your best week may change. Grid and goal are free; charts and records are Pro.
• Your streak reads the same everywhere. The Pulse screen could show a smaller number than Today for the same streak. Free.
• A fairer year in review. Wrapped shows your longest streak of the year, and lines your year so far up against the same slice of last year. Free.
• Old records step out of the spotlight. A run from months ago is no longer called a new personal best. Free.
• Cleaner all-time charts. Charts that plot every workout no longer squash into a smear or dip below zero, and they show the year when a chart covers more than one. Free.
• A kinder empty state for metrics. Stats says your metrics look steady instead of asking you to log a few days. Free.
• Cleaner lifetime step stats. The lifetime total no longer shows a 7-day up-or-down badge on a number that only grows. Free.
• Snappier after years of data. Achievements stops flickering its progress bars, and Stats and the calendar do less work behind the scenes. Free.

Removed

• The Heavy Duty starter pack was retired. It was too niche for a starter gallery. Routines you already added stay in your library.
• The "new PR" badge on the Today tab is gone. Your records are safe on each exercise's page and in your workout recap.

Added

Lock screen and Today

• Control your run from the lock screen. Pause, mark a lap, mute the voice cues, or end the run without unlocking. Free.
• Control your gym workout from the lock screen. See your next set, log it as planned or change the numbers first, then finish from there. Free.
• Your latest run leads the Today screen. Your route in pace colors with distance, time, and pace in large type. Free.
• A "This week" line on run weeks. One quiet line with your workout count and total distance. Free.
• A one-tap Run button on the LOG EXERCISE pill. Pick any scene for it in Settings, or turn it off. Free.
• Tomorrow's Focus on Today during run weeks. Elite sees the full call; Free and Pro see what the card does.
• Mark a rest day from Today. Rest counts as kept, so a planned day off does not break your streak, and the Calendar shows a small moon. Free.
• A welcome stack on your first day. Cards to start a workout, track a run, browse starter packs, take a day-one photo, or pick a theme. Free.
• A "New" badge for records since your last open. Tap it for the list, tap a row for that exercise. Free.
• Hold and drag the body figure to inspect any muscle. Half a second of hold enters browse mode; a quick tap still opens the Muscle Map.

Discovery and onboarding

• Discover Kinoku. A side-menu tour of what sets Kinoku apart, each card with a live demo and a one-tap "Try it". Free; program templates are Pro.
• A quick check when you first open the app. Confirm the units, week start, and language Kinoku guessed from your phone. Free.
• A get-ready countdown before timed moves. A 3-2-1 gives you a moment to set up for a plank. Free.

Modes, scenes, and programs

• Longevity Mode. Re-skins Pulse state labels, adds age-graded VO₂max framing, and ships a Longevity Foundations program. On by default at 40+ once you set your date of birth. Free; the program is Pro.
• Flow scene. An eighth scene with 18 curated balance, mobility, and core moves, plus a 4-week Foundations program. Free; the program is Pro.
• Rest Day as a first-class idea. Steps keep recording, but the day is exempt from your step streak and the adaptive goal, and Pulse shifts its training weight to wellness. Free; scheduling ahead is Pro, automatic detection is Elite.
• Periodization overhaul. RIR autoregulation (Elite), volume landmarks with MEV/MAV/MRV (Pro), named programs 5/3/1, GZCLP, and nSuns (Pro), and readiness adaptation from HRV and sleep (Elite).
• Smart fatigue swap on Today. When tomorrow's routine targets recovering muscles, Kinoku offers a fresher one with a 6-second undo, and stays silent inside a program. Elite.
• Cycle-aware training. Opt-in tracking with phase indicator, 13 symptoms, predictions, calendar decoration, and phase-aware coach copy. Free base; predictions and full symptoms Pro, correlations Elite.
• Full fertility and pregnancy tracking. Tactile symptom input, a scrollable multi-month calendar, BBT with thermal-shift detection, mucus, LH and pregnancy tests, multi-method ovulation prediction, TTC mode, and a pregnancy foundation. Free.

• Starter packs can express warmups and supersets. Blueprints can declare set types and group exercises.
• Social Bets can exclude activity types. Opt out of walks, runs, cycling, swimming, or mistracking on a new bet. Pro.

Changed

• The Today tab leads with a recommendation, not a status row. One hero card answers what to do today. Free; Pro adds the body figure and reasoning-led copy, Elite adds a readiness override.
• The Today tab adapts to where you are in your training. Under ten workouts you get a simpler Beginner layout, then it upgrades to Power. Override it in Settings. Free.
• The Today hero is decision-first in both modes. A state pill, coach notes folded in as a chip, time-aware copy, and a compressed weekly ribbon one tap below. Free.
• All four Pulse rings are free. Effort, Consistency, Recovery, and Wellness render for everyone, and the score-history sparkline is unlocked too.
• Auto-start rest timer is free for everyone. Still opt-in and off by default. Per-exercise rest memory stays Pro.
• Stats took the fifth bottom-tab slot. The Score dashboard is still one tap from Today and the side panel, and you can add it back.
• Training Load moved out of the Running hub. It now sits at the top of Analytics → Recovery and in the side panel, since it uses your whole training week.
• The Coach Training Form card is much easier to read. One Form line over Fresh, OK, and Tired bands, with the detail one tap away. Free.
• Sharing got one clean screen. Runs and workouts share the same flow, ready to post the second it opens, with Save, Copy, and Share pinned at the bottom. Free.
• Coach tips no longer pop up during a workout. They live on the Coach screen, where you can read, rate, or hide each one. Free.
• Tracked walks now count toward your daily step total. Existing days recompute once on first launch. Free.
• Run voice cues are now opt-in. Matches every other running app. The heat-stress advisory and haptic cues stay on. Free.
• Rotation Group editor redesigned. A live hero preview answers "how often will this fire?", and every section has an info sheet. Free.
• Archived exercises no longer surface in the muscle filter. Your history with them still counts toward the Muscle Map. Free.
• Daily step goal floor lowered to 500, with numeric input. For anyone rebuilding a walking habit or starting out. Free.
• Data & Storage menu clarity. Backup reads "Restore on another device. Full, lossless." and Export reads "For importing into other fitness apps. Photos not included."
• Timed sets support countdown. Type a target and tap play; the set saves at zero. Leave it empty to count up. Free.
• Default bottom bar surfaces Coach in place of Challenges. Existing customizations are preserved.
• "Start from scratch" is a proper button instead of low-contrast text under the analytics toggle.
• A first-ever set is no longer flagged "New PR". It surfaces as a "First exercise" moment instead.
• Social Bets is taking a short break. Turned off for launch while its cloud sync finishes testing. Your bet data is untouched and you can still leave any bet from Settings.
• Long-press any bottom-bar tab for Rearrange tabs and Hide bottom bar. A chevron pill restores a hidden bar. Free.

Improved

• The upgrade screen leads with the plans now. The choices and a one-tap "keep using Free" come first. Free.
• Share from the top of the screen now. A Share button sits in the top bar of any finished workout or run. Free.
• Timing a move is one tap now. Stopwatch and Timer sit on the time line, and one Start button runs the mode you pick. Free.
• Runs stand out on the calendar. A standalone run shows a run pill instead of a plain dot. Free.
• Starting a routine is faster now. Sets save in one go instead of one at a time, so routines and Today load quicker. Free.
• Ghost values now match your plan. Faded last-time numbers come from your last matching session, with a label saying which day. Free.
• The trash now waits for you. Items purge only when they are past 30 days and you have opened the app since. Free.
• The post-workout summary leads with big, lively stat cards. Volume, sets, and time count up from zero, and a lighter day never gets a punishing red. Free.
• Routines have a one-tap Start button. A big Start pill, a line naming the moves inside, and a clearer stat line. Free.
• Set rows read cleaner while you train. RPE and RIR share one chip, and the last-time hint shows what changed, like ↑5 kg. Free.
• You can open the menu from more screens. Screens that only had a back arrow now carry the menu button too. Free.
• Your routine can update itself now. Turn on automatic updates and only safe changes apply. Skipped exercises and weight drops are always left alone. Free.
• Full Auto never removes anything. It follows your last workout but never drops an exercise or set you skipped. Free.
• Your Pulse score waits until it knows you. It starts at an honest baseline, and rings with no data stay blank. Free.
• Your weekly card shows run distance now. Run distance rides inside the card as its own column. Free.
• Records now count for timed and distance moves. A long hold, a farther run, or a longer ride can earn a personal best. Free.
• Superset indicator refreshed. The active slot expands into a pill with the full exercise name, so you stop glancing at the top bar. Free.
• The Recovery tab adapts to how hard each muscle was hit. A load pill reads Light, Moderate, Heavy, or Extreme against your own 28-day median. Free.
• Manage Metrics search opens from the top bar. Fuzzy matching catches real typos, and an empty state offers to create a custom metric. Free.
• Bodyweight history backfill supports bigger chunks. Apply a weight to one set, the workout, 30 or 90 days, or the exercise's full history. Free.
• The watch knows walk from run from tracking issue. The complication and summary relabel themselves, and the phone's Today card mirrors it with a tap-to-confirm on low-confidence calls. Free.
• Cards and sheets are opaque and crisp now. Drawers, sheets, and dense text cards tint per theme instead of bleeding the screen behind them. Glass stays where it earns its keep. Free.
• The weekly steps chart reads against your goal. Bars warm from grey to green, a dashed line marks the goal, and each bar labels how far above or below it landed. Free.
• Cycle phases on the Calendar are actually visible. A header row, a selected-day phase strip, and a confidence-aware accent that fades honestly on stale projections. Free.
• Reach the side panel from every hub tab. Metrics and Challenges carry a hamburger, and deep-link entries keep a back arrow too. Free.
• Faster paths into your metric trends. The PulseOrb pop-out, the Wellness ring, and the metric editor all land on the same Body Metrics chart. Free.
• The Body Metrics chart centers the chip you tap. The ribbon scrolls the selected chip into view instead of clipping it. Free.
• Active intervals get a hero treatment. The progress ring expands and the cumulative stats demote, so the step state is the focus. Free.
• Intervals launch instantly. The first GPS fix is no longer dropped while the template loads. Free.
• The finish-session prompt adapts to what just happened. Five variants covering a new PR, a streak milestone, your longest or heaviest session, or a plain wrap-up. Free.
• Tomorrow's Focus joined the Coach card family. Same size and typography as its siblings, with a longevity-aware info popup. Free.
• Today's Plan card has a clearer Start button. Start and Skip sit on the card, and rest or cross-train days render without a dead button. Free.
• The Healthspan Goals card narrates to TalkBack. It reads as one merged announcement instead of disjointed fragments. Free.
• The Pulse "Heart fitness" card fits every language. A short band label in the value slot, full text in the subtitle. Free.
• Muscle map polish. Frequency colors follow the active theme, and you can pick a 7, 30, or 90-day or all-time lookback. Free.
• CSV import matches more of your history. "RDL", "OHP", and "BB Row" resolve to the right lift, and European commas, semicolons, and slash-separated sets import cleanly. Free.
• Safer import undo. Undoing an import only rolls back achievements the import triggered. Free.
• Post-workout summary redesigned. Routine sync review and scene insights are inline instead of separate sheets. Free.
• Share system refactored. Cards, stickers, and overlays compose through a single pipeline. Free.

Fixed

• Personal records line up across the whole app. Saved records, the trophy on a set, and the "Personal Best" line all judge a record the same way, and the live "NEW PR!" tag stops flashing when it was not one.
• Your record trophies stay put. A day keeps its trophy after you beat it later, and voice or routine-completed workouts get theirs right away.
• The post-workout summary never claims someone else's PR. The banner is driven only by the workout that just finished.
• Runs with no GPS no longer strand you on a blank screen. The run moves to Trash with a clear message, and the summary tells you which of four states you are in.
• Watch sets no longer disappear when the watch has not synced yet. A stable canonical key keeps phone, watch, and catalog aligned, with a "Tap to identify" pill for anything still unmatched.
• Muscle Map and Volume Landmarks no longer count runs as leg-strength work. Both are resistance-only now, and existing installs recompute their last 26 weeks on first launch.
• A finished set no longer shows an RPE it never saved. The suggestion only appears on unfinished sets, which also closes a path where "Mark Incomplete" wrote it into your history.
• Set types stick to your routines now. A Max, Warmup, or Drop set stays that way whichever way you start the routine.
• Routine sync remembers your set-type changes. Post-workout review and Full Auto no longer flatten them to Working, and undo restores them.
• Superset pairings made mid-workout sync to your routine. They apply as one atomic row so the routine never ends up with a broken 1-member superset.
• Warmups added during a workout land at the start of the routine. The review row tells you where new sets will go before you tap Apply.
• The diff engine no longer double-emits Failure sets. A Max Effort set produced two review rows and a duplicate routine row.
• Workout start time reflects when you tapped Start. Calendar-started workouts used to inherit midnight from the planned date.
• Calendar plans behave the way you'd expect. Starting a plan no longer marks it done, skipping removes it with undo, and a stale "done" dot clears itself.
• Moving a routine between rotation groups no longer reopens your weekly cap. Each workout remembers the group it belonged to when you completed it.
• Heavy routines no longer auto-classify as Accessory. Role reflects what is in the routine, not how recently you logged it.
• Calendar chips and weekly cadence respect routine role edits. Your explicit edit now wins over the role a program stamped at plan time.
• The dashed "past workout" frame no longer flashes mid-workout. It only shows when you really are looking at an old session.
• Editing an old workout no longer leaves a stuck notification. The "tap to add more" notification only fires for a workout you are actually doing.
• Finishing a workout with zero sets does nothing. No post-workout sheet, no muscle-imbalance insight.
• Resumed completed workouts no longer trigger the "Finish session?" prompt. Backed by an explicit ever-completed flag instead of a fragile heuristic.
• The active-session message is generic and translated. It reads "Finish your active workout to start this one" instead of an English-only "Gym Workout Active".
• The weekly card counts bodyweight work now. A week of push-ups and pull-ups no longer shows 0 kg of volume.
• Recovery colors fit every theme and read in the right order. The freshest muscles are the brightest now.
• The muscle-targeting picker stops dropping your taps. Every muscle you pick sticks, the figure itself is tappable, and pinch-to-zoom works.
• The ambient backdrop gradient paints the whole screen. It used to show only on the system bars.
• Run share card text no longer overlaps the logo.
• Running screen fixes. The Form chip stops calling normal training "Fatigued", race predictions show real times, and the route preview always draws.
• Weather conditions translate to your language. The condition is stored as a numeric code and localized at render time, with °F and mph for imperial users.
• Watch-tracked runs attribute mileage to your default shoe. Your overrides on existing rows are never overwritten.
• Imperial users see miles in shoe reminders. The Coach tip body used to hardcode km.
• Follow-along routines build themselves from a video's chapters. It now reads the chapters YouTube generates, not just hand-typed ones.
• The Steps hero no longer flashes impossible cadences. Rates come from hardware timestamps, need three events and a one-second window, and cap at 250 SPM.
• Bumpy car rides stop getting labelled "cycling". A third signal is used, and mixed windows show the honest "Likely vehicle motion" label.
• No more congratulatory buzzes while you are sitting in a car. Milestone haptics are suppressed during a suspected-vehicle window.
• "Personal best: 16 steps" no longer haunts your first week. The chip needs 7 days of history and a 500-step day, and shows the date next to the number.
• Photos survive a rebrand-upgrade restore. Pre-rebrand backups get their stored file paths rewritten instead of showing broken images.
• European decimal values in imports. 22,5 no longer parses as 225, and locale date formats are recognised.
• Ambiguous FitNotes weight columns. The unit is read from the column header instead of defaulting to kg.
• Equipment-aware exercise matching. "DB Bench Press" resolves to the dumbbell variant, not a tie with the barbell one.
• Liftin' CSV exports import now. Previously "unknown file format".
• Post-restore rebuild. Restoring a backup re-runs the achievement evaluator, PR rebuild, and Pulse recompute on next launch.
• Incomplete-restore detection. A restore that crashed mid-way is detected on next launch instead of silently running half-restored.
• Vehicle-motion diagnostic rows no longer ship in backups.

Security

• Cycle and pregnancy data lives in a separate database excluded from Google Auto Backup. "Stays on your device" is now architecturally true, not almost true. Existing users migrate on first launch.
• Photos hide from sibling surfaces when the gallery lock is on. The Calendar timeline, the daily photo strip, and Trash thumbnails all stay empty until you unlock.
• Your Data Rights. One tap to leave every Social Bet on our servers, open the Privacy Policy, or email privacy@kinoku.app, with an accurate count when some fail.
• Policy v3 covers reproductive-health protections. Adds a plain-language summary and a full commitment section, and declares a read-only menstruation permission.
• Guided-routine link handling hardened. Kinoku checks more carefully that a pasted link points to YouTube or Vimeo, and limits how much it downloads.
• YouTube chapter detection is opt-in. The second network call defaults off, behind Settings → Privacy & Data. Policy bumped to v5 to re-fire consent.
• CSV formula-injection defense on export. Cells starting with =, +, -, @, tab, or CR are prefixed so spreadsheets do not execute them.
• SHA-256 required on restore. Pre-checksum backups route through an explicit "Restore anyway?" instead of silently skipping verification.
• Age gate harmonized to 16+ across the website, in-app policy, and Terms of Service.
• Silent-refund analytics. Google-initiated refunds emit an anonymous event so support volume can be correlated.
