Changelog.

Added

• First 5K, a new free skill for new runners: nine steps of run and walk sessions, from 1-minute runs to 5 km in one run at any pace. The run screen tells you when to run and when to walk, and a step opens after three runs in a row reach its time.
• Both sides, for a hold you do one side at a time like a side plank. Turn it on under the time, and the timer runs one side, a short break to switch, then the other side, all as one set.
• A Both sides set logs your shorter side, and shows both times when they differ. Total time counts it twice, while your best time and average stay per side.
• A Left and right chart on the exercise Graph tab, with your best hold on each side per session.
• Importing a file with no weight unit, such as an older Strong export, now asks "Kilograms or pounds?" first, with your own unit picked. Kinoku used to read those weights as kilograms.
• Workouts you already logged in Kinoku on the same day, with the same exercises, are skipped when you import another app's file. Untick the box on the preview to bring them in too.
• If you change the match for an imported exercise, Kinoku keeps your pick. The next file from the same app gets the same match, marked "Your earlier pick".
• When you first open Kinoku, it asks how you like to log sets. Pick plain rows, pills or a grid from live samples, and turn on RPE (how hard a set felt) or reps in reserve (RIR) if you track them.
• "Coming from another app?" now lists JEFIT, Fitbod, Boostcamp and Alpha Progression. Boostcamp and Alpha Progression can set up your logging to match. If you have a JEFIT or Fitbod CSV file, tap "I already have the file" on the import screen.
• Send to AI, on the workout recap and in a finished session's menu: your workout as text, with each exercise's last session, to copy or share into ChatGPT, Gemini or a notes app. Pick Review it, Plan next or Data only.
• "How did it go?" sits on the workout recap now, also when you reopen it from History. Drag to rate the effort from 1 to 10, or tap Note to write about the session. The separate effort popup no longer opens after the recap.
• A card to share how often you train: the days you trained in the last 12 weeks or 12 months, plus your weeks in a row. Open it from Training activity on Stats, or tap the week streak on Today.
• Warm-up sets can get their own rest. Turn on Warm-up rest in Workout settings and pick a time, or No timer. It runs on Smart Rest Timer, which the setting can turn on for you. A rest your routine gives that set still wins.
• Your Story plays like a story now. A month is about six cards, a year about a dozen, and each card moves on by itself. Hold to pause, or tap left or right to move between cards.
• A shelf for Your Story, with a cover for each month and year you trained.
• Every session in Your Story is a star on a night sky. The same stars light up one by one, write your session count, race in lanes and take the shape of your body as the cards move on.
• The stars in Your Story move now: a big bang opens the story, your best-ever lift plays its real movement from the Exercise Galaxy, the body turns in 3D, and the last card shows your earlier months or years as small galaxies.
• Each story's cover is a galaxy of its own. It grows an arm for each main kind of training you did, and its core glows brighter the more you trained.
• Your lifting, weighed in elephants or blue whales and drawn in stars.
• The Runs card in Your Story shows your runs on one glowing map, with your walks faint beside them and a scale bar, then flies through them at light speed. A shared story never shows the map.
• A year story has a Steps card: your year as a ridge of stars, with your best day in gold.
• In a year with one clear top lift, the records card asks you to guess which lift set the most records, then shows it in gold.
• In the first week of a month, Today offers last month's story when you trained 4 times or more. In early January it offers the year. Close it with the X.
• A "Story ready" notification for the same moment, off until you turn it on under Reminders.
• Share a story as a picture or as a highlight video of up to 17 seconds, with your stars, your runs at light speed, your record and your totals. The picture adds your best moment.
• Each story picks its best moments, like a new all-time record, the first exercise that stuck, a comeback after three weeks or more off, or your best month in a while.
• A Training shape card weighs strength against endurance on a balance made of stars, tipped toward the side that took more of your time, with your sessions a week. It takes the place of the six personality types.
• A "Last time" line in Exercise info, under the exercise name: your sets, your top set and how long ago.
• Share a video from YouTube within 30 minutes of a search from Exercise info, and Kinoku offers to save it to that exercise first.

Changed

• The First 5K challenge template is now called 5 km in Total, because First 5K is now a skill. Challenges you made from it keep their name.
• The streak on Today counts weeks in a row now, the same number as the consistency card, and a tap opens that card. A rest day never breaks it.
• A workout card shows its effort as ten small bars in place of a plain number, on Today and in Session detail. Today shows it for every rated workout.
• Set rows on Today fit on one line more often. RPE and RIR share one cell, "8 / 2", and the grid drops its Previous column when space is short. The "Last" line under plain and pill rows is gone. Blank cells still show last time as faded numbers.
• Pro Lifetime is now the third plan on the Upgrade screen, under Yearly and Monthly, with its price in the row. It used to sit behind a "Prefer a one-time purchase?" link.
• Last month's and last year's stories are now free, along with the ones in progress. Older months and years stay Pro.
• Your Story counts the weeks you reached your weekly goal in place of a daily streak, so a rest day never breaks it.
• Runs and walks now show in Your Story, with the distance and your longest one.
• The record cards in Your Story show all-time records, not gains over the period before.
• The last card of a story no longer closes it on a tap. It offers Replay, Share and Done.
• A month with no workouts no longer plays a full story of empty cards.
• A Hevy, Strong or FitNotes file you import after picking that app now skips the "Format detected" step and opens its preview, and so does a Kinoku backup. "Not right? Choose manually" on the preview leads back to the step.
• The screen after an import shows tiles for what came in. A Strava history opens Running in place of Muscle Map. A plan with no workouts skips See your history and offers Routines, plus Calendar when it has planned days.
• Undo import now sits under Details on that screen, and the last button reads Done every time, no longer Later.
• Exercise info now has its buttons in two rows at the top, with YouTube search and your saved video among them.
• Paste link is now Save video. It saves a copied YouTube link in one tap, and it lights up when you come back from YouTube with a link copied.

Improved

• A skill step can count an equal exercise. The assisted pull-up machine counts on the band-assisted pull-up step, a pistol squat on suspension straps (TRX) on the assisted pistol step, and chair dips on the bench dips step.
• The screen stays awake while a timed set's timer runs.
• Names in Hevy and FitNotes files now find the right exercise in your library more often. When Kinoku is not sure, it counts the name as a "Similar match" that you can change before you import. Incline Bench Press never lands on plain Bench Press on its own.
• Before you import a file, the preview counts the exercise names that need a look. A tap lists those names first, with the exact matches folded into one row.
• The Hevy, Strong, FitNotes and Strava guides show your last import from that app, with its date and workout count, so you know a newer export adds only what is new.
• A Kinoku export's preview now warns you when its workouts start at the same time as ones you have.
• The app you pick on the import screen now stays picked for a day while you export, up from two hours. Strava keeps its week.
• TalkBack reads an import's progress once, as "45 of 142", with no second reading of the percent.
• Sent a body measurements file by mistake? Kinoku now says so, and after a Hevy, Strong or FitNotes pick it names the export that holds your workouts.

Fixed

• A file with one workout no longer reads "Imported 1 workouts" after the import.
• Undo no longer takes back an old import when a new one adds nothing, like a backup you had restored.
• Undo in the import review no longer swaps your own pick back to Kinoku's first guess after a swipe.
• Tapping Cancel on the preview of a Kinoku export no longer closes the app.
• A swipe in the import review no longer brings back data you unticked, like your settings. A category you changed there stays changed too.
• A second import of the same Hevy, Strong, FitNotes or Strava file adds only the workouts that are new, even when the first import came before this update. It used to add every workout again.
• Distances in files from other apps now import in kilometres. A 1 km Hevy run used to land as 1,000 km, and workouts you imported before this update keep their old distance.
• Leaving the Import screen no longer throws away an import in progress. It keeps going, and the screen shows where it got to when you come back.
• More Strava archives now import, also big ones and ones from a watch that saved its runs as .fit files. Those runs bring their distance and time, but no route map yet.
• Empty set rows in another app's file are left out of the import, and so is a workout made only of them.
• A Hevy file no longer adds an empty "Uncategorized" category when all of its exercises are already in your library.
• Pro Analytics no longer crashes when the lift you pick has no sets in the weeks the volume chart shows. Pro.
• The Share button on challenge, skill and Journeys share cards is easier to read on light themes.
• Tapping Complete while a timed set's timer runs no longer marks a set you had already finished as not done. It stays complete, with the new time.
• A tap on Complete just as the get-ready count ends no longer logs a 0-second set.
• During the get-ready count, the Complete button under the timer now reads Cancel. A tap there stops the timer.
• The button under a running timer no longer has hard-to-read white text on Performance and several light themes. The Delete button beside it and the ticks on Today's set rows are easier to read too.
• TalkBack now reads the interval run ring in your language, and the "Next" line under it is in your language too.
• With pounds on, the Rep Maxes and Total Load readouts and the live one-rep max projection now show the right weight, so a 70 kg best reads 154.3 lbs, not 340.2. Total Load's Relative view shows the bodyweight ratio, not a weight. The same fix lands on the Pro Volume chart.
• A note typed in Exercise info is no longer lost when you tap the skill under "Part of a skill".
• Change a note in Exercise info, open a link, change it again: the second change now stays when you close.

Added

• Pinned notes on the exercise screen. Your exercise note, the routine's note and last session's set notes sit above your sets, and a tap opens them to read or edit.
• "Weight is per hand", a switch in the exercise editor for dumbbells, kettlebells and cables. Log the weight of one and volume counts it twice, in volume records too, while weight records and your one-rep max keep the weight you log. Older sets keep their volume.
• On the watch, the set screen shows your exercise or routine note. Tap it to read both in full.
• Keep Screen On During Workouts, a new switch on the phone's Watch Companion screen. The watch stays awake on your workout screens and sleeps after 10 minutes without a tap. Off by default, because it uses more battery.
• When a rest ends, the watch lights up its screen. If Kinoku is not in front, a Rest over note opens your next set. On by default: Wake Watch When Rest Ends on the phone's Watch Companion screen turns it off.
• During a rest, the watch shows the time left in a notification, with +30s and Skip, like the phone's rest timer.
• Correct a wrong step count on the Steps screen: tap Fix steps for today, or Correct on a day in the week card, and type the count the day should show. Undo and Change History cover each edit, and Health Connect and your watch never get the correction.
• The same sheet lists the day's tracked walks and runs with estimated steps. Remove takes a walk's estimate off your count, and Add back returns it.
• Gym sets logged on the watch now save their average and peak heart rate. History shows both under each finished set, such as "Average heart rate 141 bpm, peak 163 bpm", and the watch's workout summary shows the session's average and max.
• A free trial now comes with a reminder 2 days before it ends, with the date. The trial button says so when notifications are on.
• Compare two runs in Run Studio. A Lead chart shows the seconds you were ahead or behind along the route and marks the 500 m where the gap changed most when that beats GPS noise, and the readout shows both runs. Pick Last time, Your best or any run. Pro.
• When you compare, the Run Studio map colors the route by who was ahead or draws the other run as the next lane, and a hollow ring marks the other runner at the same moment. Pro.
• Similar Runs has a Compare on the map row, with a strip of where you led, that opens Run Studio on your last run of that route. Pro.
• Turn your phone sideways in Run Studio, or tap the expand icon on a chart, for one big chart with a small map beside it.
• A Run Studio button on the run summary's map.
• A heart rate line in the run summary's Time in Zones card, over shaded zone bands, with your average and max above it. Tap or drag along it to read your heart rate at that moment. Pro, with Enrich runs with Health Connect heart rate on.
• Locked Pro features now open a short preview before the plans: Similar Runs and Advanced on the run summary, and compare and replay in Run Studio. With two runs on one route, the Compare preview races your own.
• Without Pro, the strength recap can show one preview row, for next-session weights or weekly sets per muscle. Its × hides it, and the Show Pro previews switch in Tips & coaching settings turns them all off.
• Two new log types, Weight, Distance & Time and Weight, Reps & Time, let a sled push or a set of wall balls save a time. A set needs the weight plus one of the other two boxes.
• Best times on the exercise Graph tab: your fastest time at each effort you repeat, like a 50 m sled push at 152 kg or a 2,000 m row. A set that beats it shows New best in gold.
• Rowing machine and ski erg sets now show your split per 500 m, as the machine's own screen does, whatever units you use. The Graph tab and Stats chart it as 500 m Split in place of Pace.
• For Time, EMOM (every minute on the minute) and AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) timers. Pick one in the routine editor, or tap Start a timer in the Scene panel on Today. Round done ticks off the round's sets, and saves a split or, in EMOM, marks the round on time.
• After a timer session, the result shows on the session, the Today card and the recap, like "6 rounds + 9 reps" or "14 of 16 on time". Cues keep playing with the phone locked.
• The Exercise Galaxy has a row in the side menu now, and a card in Discover.
• On the Muscle Map, the galaxy button is a small glossy gem now. It twinkles and sends out sparkles when there is something new to see, and a move you try for the first time counts.
• After a workout with a new move, a card on Today can take you to its star in the galaxy.
• Fitness Race Prep, a new starter pack: a station strength day, 40 minutes of runs and stations for time, and a 16-minute EMOM of ski erg sprints, wall balls, kettlebell swings and burpee broad jumps.
• With voice cues on, the coach says so when you set a new best km or mile, 5K or 10K during a run. With run haptics on, the phone also buzzes twice.
• Import now asks which app you are coming from. Hevy, Strong, FitNotes and Strava each get short steps to get the export out and back into Kinoku. Strava's steps say up front that watch files are not read yet.
• A new first-run question, "Coming from another app?", points Quick Start and the Today import card at the app you name.
• After an import, Kinoku can offer to log sets the way your old app did, such as grid rows or an effort score (RPE). It lists each change, and nothing changes until you tap Apply.
• The import finish screen shows how many workouts came over and since when, with See your history and links to the Muscle Map, Stats and Records.
• Stair Climber, Stairmaster and Step Mill now log steps and time. An exercise you have already logged keeps its log type.
• A Count picker in the exercise editor sets what a cardio exercise counts: reps, steps or floors.
• Steps you log on a stair machine with a time now add to your daily steps and move a road. When your phone or watch counted the climb too, the larger number counts, not both. The Steps screen lists them as Logged on a machine.
• The watch shows steps or floors on a stair machine set.

Changed

• Workout Settings: Apply all is now called Apply safe, because it never saved lower targets, skipped exercises or added warmup sets. The card after a workout says why those changes wait.
• Full Auto's description no longer claims your routine matches your last workout exactly. A skipped exercise or set stays in the routine.
• A cardio set you finish from now on adds no weight to your volume, records or roads. Past workouts keep their numbers.
• Steps and floors never count as reps, so they leave rep records, achievements and challenges alone.
• After 3 hours without a new set, a gym workout open on the watch stops tracking and posts one quiet "Tracking paused" notice. Your workout stays open, and Resume or a tap on the notice turns tracking back on.
• Exercise Galaxy cards name the move's own top muscles, so Plank reads "Abs and lower back" where it said "Hamstrings and lower back". The website galaxy matches.
• A new exercise can no longer take a name you already use. The editor says so, as Save as new does, and the name of an exercise you deleted stays free.
• The rating prompt can now come after 5 workouts and a week, down from 10 workouts and two weeks. It can also follow a circuit, a class you log from Today, or the first time you open a run your watch recorded.
• The upgrade screen's headline now fits where you came from, such as your runs, your themes or a metric chart.
• Run Studio's charts are taller, with a one-word label and an ⓘ each, and faster pace now sits higher. The map shrinks to a strip as you scroll, and Linear, Log and Relative moved into Chart options.
• Run Studio's range card shows the whole run until you select a stretch.
• Sled Push, Sled Pull, Wall Ball and Sandbag Lunge now take a time as well, even if you have logged them before. Past sets keep every number, and a log type you picked yourself stays.

Improved

• The rest timer shows the whole rest next to the time left, such as 00:42 / 01:30, in the rest bar and the notification. The watch shows it under the countdown.
• The set note box shows last session's note for the same set as a hint.
• Muscle Map: the Intensity view's help now says what it measures, the volume each muscle took from weight, reps and effort. Search finds it as "muscle split" too.
• Body view in the Exercise Galaxy now plays 569 moves, up from one squat, with the same sketches as the website. In held stretches and poses the worked muscles breathe slowly, and the camera keeps the moving figure clear of the controls.
• The website's Exercise Galaxy can sketch 569 of 1,321 exercises, now with held stretches and yoga poses, where the worked muscles breathe slowly.
• Sharing the Route Heatmap now keeps the map you set up: the same map style, route colours, zoom and place. Pro.
• Tap the Estimated badge on the Steps screen to read why some steps were estimated, with a link to the step estimate setting.
• Time in Zones on a run now lists all five heart rate zones, each with its bpm range and its share of the time. Its info button names the max and resting heart rate behind the ranges. Pro.
• When a run paused for a minute or more, the summary's Time shows the elapsed clock under your moving time.
• The cadence card on a run summary shows about how many steps you took.
• Replace on an exercise now lists similar moves by muscle match, with a bar and a percent for each. Equipment chips narrow the list, for when the bench is taken.
• Ticking off a set now gives a light buzz, and the check mark pops in.
• On Today, your streak rolls up by one when a workout adds a day.
• Dragging across a run's heart rate chart now ticks under your finger at each reading, and the elevation chart ticks at each km or mile.
• The fitness and fatigue chart in Pro Analytics ticks once per day as you drag. Pro.
• The run summary now lists every distance you beat, not only the first. A new best on the run you just finished also gets a gold burst and a strong buzz.
• With reduced motion on, the run countdown no longer zooms each number.

Fixed

• A missed last set in nSuns no longer raises the training max. The program read the first set, which uses the same weight, and now scores the last one. GZCLP (a beginner barbell program) now scores its last set too.
• Run Studio's range stats no longer count a pause. Time is moving time, and pace is that time over the distance.
• Stats no longer crashes when one of your routines has a gradient color.
• In a workout, an exercise card now folds shut once you tick its last set in the row. Its arrow no longer ignores your taps.
• Search no longer crashes on some Korean and Japanese results. The bold part of each result title now lines up with what you typed.
• "Log body weight" in Search now opens a box to type your weight, where it used to drop you on Pulse with nowhere to enter it.
• The clear button in the search box now sits level with your text and the mic.
• After a free trial, the Subscription screen no longer shows your next charge 14 days early. The opt-in renewal reminder uses the corrected date too.
• Strong 6.2.4 CSV exports now import with their weights, distances and workout lengths. Strong's rest-timer rows no longer arrive as empty sets.
• Strava exports with dates like "Jan 13, 2025" now import your activities. They used to bring in none.
• Undo on an import now also takes back the day notes, rest days, Pulse scores, programs and other records it added. A day the import changed gets your old entry back, and a day note or rest day you edited since stays.
• A run no longer saves thousands of extra kilometres when the phone's first GPS fix is out of date. One test run of about 1.1 km had saved as 4,127 km. Runs you already saved stay as they are.
• Metrics: the schedule line under each one, such as Daily or Every 3 days, now shows in your language.
• Broken characters are gone from seven translations, in the effort scale ranges, recovery times and streak titles. German quotes close properly, and the GZCLP (a strength program) timeline shows 85% where it showed 85%%.
• "Show in galaxy" on your own exercise no longer opens an empty galaxy when the move has no star yet. A message says why: no set logged yet, or no muscles set.
• The Steps and Kinoku Rings widgets now catch up within a minute when steps come in from a watch, Health Connect or by hand.
• A tracked walk or run with a pause no longer gets estimated steps for the paused minutes. Walks saved before the update keep their estimates.
• The Steps screen's help now says what each ring measures and how steps from your watch, phone and Health Connect add up.
• A workout you finish on the watch no longer reopens and loses the sets that had not reached the phone yet.
• Sets completed on one device no longer flip back to not done when the other device sends an older copy.
• A slow Bluetooth link or a large exercise library no longer keeps your exercises and routines off the watch.
• Archiving an exercise that a routine uses no longer stops routine changes from reaching the watch.
• Deleting your last routine on the phone now removes it from the watch too.
• Changes you make on the phone now reach the watch sooner. Logging a set while they sync no longer drops some of them.
• Tapping Start Run during a run now opens the live run, instead of resetting it to zero and losing the rest.
• A finished run no longer goes missing when you swipe its summary away, or appears twice after a fast double tap on Done.
• Runs in miles: the watch now buzzes each mile, and the summary's splits are real miles.
• When the watch cannot start a workout, save a set or finish, it now shows a message and stays open instead of closing.
• On a watch with no speech service, the mic now shows a message instead of closing the app. Pro.
• Taking the watch off mid-workout no longer leaves the last heart rate on screen as if it were live.
• Declining heart rate once no longer stops the watch from asking at your next gym start.
• The watch's rest buzz no longer needs the screen on. It comes 10 and 5 seconds before a rest ends and again at the end, with the screen off too.
• Auto-Advance Exercise now reaches the watch as soon as you change it, without Sync Now.
• Set counts on watch-face complications now update after each set, and Active Workout shows a live run's distance and opens the run.
• Tile and complication names, complication text and both workout summaries on the watch now show in your language. Bulgarian and Turkish join the watch app's language list.
• Scanning a routine from a photo no longer closes the app on some phones. When the photo reader cannot start, the screen says so and offers to paste the text.
• Turning the phone in Run Studio no longer clears your place on the chart or stops a playing replay.
• In the exercise editor, Auto time format now names the format your sets use. On Weight & Time, Reps & Time and Time Only it said Auto (Seconds), while the sets showed minutes and seconds.
• FitNotes exports in pounds no longer import at less than half the weight. A 60 kg set used to land as 27.2 kg.
• Warm-up sets in a Strong export now arrive as warm-ups, and drop and failure sets keep their type too.

Added

• Every GPS run can now become a woodblock-style poster, from Print next to Share Run or in the run's share screen. Share, copy or save it as a poster, a 4:5 post or a story, with a day or night sky, the water and buildings around the route, and the run's number in the corner.
• A run print keeps its map on the phone after the first download, and a wide route asks before it downloads its buildings.
• Shared route images can now leave out where you start and finish: run share cards and run prints, plus the Route Heatmap image and Run Studio videos on Pro. Pick 200 m, 500 m or 1 km in Settings > Import & Export. Off by default.
• Copy plan prompt on the Import screen. Your AI assistant asks a few questions, then writes routines and dated calendar days that Kinoku imports. The old button is now Copy log prompt.
• A new card on the recap and the run summary marks your 10th, 25th and 50th workout, every 100th up to 1,000, then every 250th. It counts the workouts, personal records and runs you have logged since you installed Kinoku.
• Exercise Galaxy shows every exercise as a star, placed near the moves that work the same muscles. Open it from the Exercise Library, from an exercise's info sheet, or from Search.
• Body view turns the galaxy into a figure of lights, with two poses and a squat you can play.
• Your moves lights up the exercises you have trained: by how often, by how recently, or just the ones you have done. Runs from your watch and circuit sessions count too.
• In Your moves, your own exercises appear as ringed stars beside the catalog moves with the most similar muscles, and as lights on the body. Each one needs logged sets and muscles set.
• On the body, Your moves lights the moves you did, or each muscle by how much you train it.
• A timelapse replays your training star by star, and a coverage panel counts the moves you have trained in each muscle group.
• Share your galaxy from the angle you are looking at: a feed post or a story, a picture or a video. Pick Night sky, Star chart or Neon, each with a print version. Your top moves are named and linked into constellations.
• Pinch on a spot in the galaxy to fly toward it, and keep pinching to pass through the stars. Two fingers slide the view, and a double-tap on the sky flies closer. TalkBack gets Zoom in, Zoom out and Reset the view.
• Tap View, then turn off Names to hide the group names over the galaxy and the muscle names on the body.
• Train today, on a star's card: adds the move to the workout open today, or starts one. It reads Add to workout while a workout is open.
• Add to list on a star's card collects moves. From the list, start a workout or save a routine. The list stays until you use it or clear it.
• The galaxy video builds your galaxy month by month: the month and your move count tick up while a few of each month's top moves pop in, skipping months with no new moves. A Speed slider sets the seconds per month. If every move began in one month, it plays the timelapse.
• The galaxy share sheet plays the video as a live preview before you share or save it. Tap it to pause.
• In Your moves, glowing lines join the moves you have trained into your own constellations, one for each group of stars. They draw out from each group's brightest star, and your trained stars shine. View has a switch to hide them.
• See a routine as a constellation in the galaxy: its moves' stars joined in the order you do them, the rest dimmed. Your own moves with no star yet show as faint ringed stars.
• Share a lit routine's constellation from the galaxy. The card reads "My Push Day", numbers each move beside its star and lists the moves under the stats. As a video it draws the routine move by move and names each move as it lights up.
• From the Muscle Map, the galaxy button breaks your map into stars that fly onto the galaxy's body. The galaxy's Muscle Map button flies them back.
• With run weather on, the run screen now shows the temperature and sky at the top, before Start and during the run. Tap it for feels-like, wind and air quality.
• Reach a Journeys stop, and the next time you open the road, the covered picture of the newest stop you reached lifts off to show its print. With reduced motion on, the print shows at once.
• Guided logging, a new switch in Workout settings: after each set, the next one is picked for you, with − and + buttons and Complete in a panel at the bottom of Today and the full session view. Supersets take turns, with no rest timer until the round ends. Off by default.
• With Guided logging on, each set keeps to one line when it fits, and a finished set fills in color, as it does on the exercise screen.
• Make your own class with New class in the Log a class sheet: a name, a class type, an icon and color, its usual length and the muscles it works. Manage classes edits any class, archives the ones you made and hides built-in ones you never take.
• Studio and instructor fields when you log a class. Both show on the session, and the session's menu lets you change them later.
• Classes you log now move you along your Journeys road, about as far as a walk or run of the same length and effort would. Their distance shows on its own line.
• A new road counts classes unless you switch them off on the Start sheet. On a road you started earlier, turn on Classes under What counts; classes before that stay out.
• Saving a class now says how far it counts on your road.
• Search is now one tap from Today: a magnifier sits next to the gear at the top.
• When a search finds nothing, Tell us what you were looking for opens an email draft with your search in it. Nothing is sent unless you send it.
• Twelve new help answers, such as what each ⋮ menu holds and how to change what an exercise tracks. Search finds them by the words on a menu item or in the exercise editor.

Changed

• On the website, Exercise Galaxy now links studies for common gym moves and names the gaps. The muscle figures stay estimates.
• New sets use the catalog's muscle figures. Completed sets keep their old credit, while your own muscle edits still win.
• On the website, Exercise Galaxy has 25 hand-made move sketches for gym moves. Cards offer Play where a sketch fits; reduced motion shows a still pose.
• The rating prompt now waits until you have used Kinoku for two weeks and logged 10 workouts. It can follow a finished run as well as a gym workout.
• With Help improve Kinoku on, reports now also name the screens you open and the screen open during a crash. Log a class, Quick Log and the journey, skill, galaxy and challenge share sheets count as screens. The cycle, health dashboard and progress photo screens are left out.
• Opt-in reports now name the journey you start and note each milestone and finish you see. A skill start is counted without the skill's name. Both need Help improve Kinoku on.
• With Applying changes set to Apply all or Auto-apply, the workout summary says in one line when it updated your routine. Review shows the changes it kept back, and Settings opens the routine options.
• Opening a run share no longer sends your route's exact first point to your phone's place-name service, which is Google's on most phones. Among the share looks, only Passport asks, when you pick it, with a point rounded to about 1 km.
• A card in Stops you reached now opens its print full screen, where you can zoom and swipe along the road. Open this stop leads on to the stop's page.
• Stops you reached runs in road order and opens at your newest stop. Part of the next card stays in view, so you can tell the row scrolls.
• Your road's page now shows how far along the road you are, like "66 of 492 km", with a thin bar.
• The next stop gets its own row, with its covered picture and a bar for the way there. Tap it for that stop's page.
• On a road's map, a stop's card now reads "Stop 4 of 55 · 27 km", so you can see where it sits on the road.
• A tick on a set in Today's list now saves the faded numbers it shows, such as last time's weight and reps and the suggested effort (RPE). To save only what you type, turn off Tick saves faded numbers in Workout settings.
• The faded effort (RPE) in Today's list now uses the same rule as the exercise screen.
• Classes now go to Health Connect as their own activity, such as yoga, stationary biking or boxing, rather than strength training. Classes logged before this update keep the old type.
• Menu rows now carry the name of the screen they open: Charts & Trends is Stats, Step tracker is Steps, Skills is Skill Board, and Appearance & Layout in Settings is Customize Kinoku. The Body tab is now Muscles, short for Muscle Map. Search still finds the old names.
• Screen titles now match the menu too. The score's screen and your workout recap say Kinoku Score, not Pulse or Fitness Score, and Import's paste screen is Smart Import, not Paste a plan.

Improved

• Smart Import reads a whole pasted AI reply, with the words around its code block, not only the code block.
• Today scrolls more smoothly with a long workout open, and the top buttons no longer shrink as you scroll.
• In a superset, each chip now shows the exercise's icon in place of two letters, and the personal best card has a faint copy behind it. Two exercises with the same icon keep their letters.
• A rebuilt Health Connect screen: whether it is connected, when it last synced, one list of what Kinoku reads with today's values, and a link to the Health Dashboard.
• Health Dashboard leads with a trend chart you can switch between metrics. Pull down to sync, and each empty state names the one step that fills it.
• A small corner icon marks the Journeys prints you can open full screen, on a map's stop card and in Stops you reached.
• On the Tōkaidō's real map, the straight line between stations fades out sooner as you zoom in.
• On the calendar and the Today card, a class now shows its own icon and color, and its calendar day card shows how long it lasted. Classes logged before this update look as they did.
• Search finds settings by the words printed on them, then opens the screen with that row in view and glowing. A row that appears only after another switch is on, or only on phones that support it, opens its screen without the glow, and so do Health Connect's settings.
• Voice Quick Log also has a switch in Settings > Workout Experience now, not only in the settings sheet during a workout. Pro.

Fixed

• The Pulse orb no longer disappears while the Today card is on screen.
• Adding a watch set no longer crashes after phone sync removes its workout or changes its exercise.
• The chart now uses a normal screen fade from Lift Progress to Stats while we address a crash when lists redraw.
• Connecting Health Connect now brings in your last 30 days, or up to a year where Health Connect allows your full history. Before, only today came in.
• Health Connect values for a day no longer stop at that day's first sync.
• With Auto-sync on, Health Connect data now refreshes when you open Kinoku, up to once an hour. The 6-hour background sync needs Health Connect's background permission, and the Health Connect screen asks for it.
• Data types you allowed in the Health Connect app are now read without a second switch in Kinoku.
• Steps from a phone and a watch no longer count twice on the Health Dashboard.
• Manage permissions now works on Android 14 and later, where the button was greyed out. There it opens Kinoku's app info page; on older phones it opens Health Connect.
• Run weather no longer goes missing when your phone had no recent location as the run screen opened. The first GPS fix of the run fetches it instead.
• If you reopen Kinoku during a run and then stop it, the run no longer saves without its weather.
• Air quality now shows with run weather when you turn it on. Before, the app asked the wrong Open-Meteo address and never got a reading.
• Text shared to Kinoku from an AI app now opens in Import: a plan goes to its preview, and other text fills the paste box. Before, the paste box opened empty.
• With no workout open, starting a move from the Muscle Map or a skill's Log the attempt no longer adds a second blank set, and one back press now leaves the set editor.
• With Tap row to complete on, last time's assistance is no longer saved as weight on the bar, or the reverse, when an exercise has switched between the two.
• Tapping a calendar day now opens it even when a session that day uses an exercise you archived.
• Tabs and menu rows now open their own screen. Before, a tab could bring back a screen you had left, like Steps on the Coach tab, and the menu's Today row could open on Coach.
• Help's feature cards open their screen, and Back returns to Help. Before, Back skipped Help.
• Coach no longer shows a back arrow when you open it from its tab.
• The Steps screen's title is now translated. It showed in English in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese and Korean.
• The superset help answer now points to the exercise's ⋮ menu for Link and Unlink, not a long-press.
• Routine Changes no longer turns working sets into warmups on a routine with a warmup scheme. Before, Apply could leave a lift with only warmups.
• Last time's numbers now line up by set type, so a warmup shows last time's warmup, not your working weight.
• On phones whose graphics chip is too old for maps, Start Run, Share Run and the other map screens no longer crash. A plain panel takes the map's place.
• Delete Workout now says the workout goes to Trash, where you can restore it for 30 days. It used to say the action cannot be undone.
• An imported challenge with a steps goal no longer crashes the Challenges screen. It shows no progress there, since only Bets count steps.
• In Stats and Pro Analytics, the strength gauge names the level its needle points at. A 2.0× bodyweight deadlift used to read Elite inside the Advanced band. Pro.
• The Form chart no longer paints a normal training day Tired when your Form usually runs high. The Tired line now sits at the same level for everyone.
• Health Dashboard steps now match the Steps screen.
• Today's Snapshot on the Health Dashboard shows only today's readings, or No reading today. Before, it could show yesterday's.
• The Body Recomposition, sleep timing and blood pressure charts on the Health Dashboard now show their legends in full. Pro.
• Phones without Wear OS support no longer retry the watch over and over in the background, which used battery.
• With the side menu open, Back closes the menu, not the screen behind it. From a menu screen that is not one of your tabs, Back returns to the tab you came from rather than Today.
• The Passport share look numbers a run by its place among yours, like #180 for your 180th run, not by a long internal ID. Gym sessions leave the number out.
• Added weight on a bodyweight exercise logged by reps no longer shows an empty box beside Reps. The × that removes it now sits next to the field's name.

Changed

• Today's top line reads in words: "After Full lower 2", "Again · 5 days ago" or "Easy day · slept 5h 12m". Tap it to open the preview.
• Weekly progress on Today reads "This week", with a bar that fills as you train. A program reads "Week 3 of 8".
• Each muscle on Today's body now shows its full recovery colour, from Fatigued to Fresh, and each muscle group is named once. Pro.
• On Free, the body fills in your theme's colour, deeper where the workout does more, with a Some to Most key.
• Easy day: the Start and Keep buttons are the same size, and the preview names the workout it replaced. Pro.
• Run days label the newest bar "Last 5.20 km", and the preview draws your recent runs larger. A planned run's button says Start run.
• Other options adds up to two more routines from the Rotation Group that picked today's workout, marked "In your group".
• After you mark a rest day, Undo now shows on the Today card too. The header button reads Mark rest day.
• What's New and setup tips moved below the Today card, and the Pulse orb fades out while it would cover the card.

Improved

• The watch app is much smaller: about 3 megabytes to install, with nothing taken out.
• Long exercise and routine names fit better on round watches at large text sizes.
• Today's small icons and words are easier to read on every theme, and the skill ring on the date strip is labelled Skill.
• A long workout name on Today now keeps its arrow.
• TalkBack reads the Today card in fewer words; its preview keeps the full description.
• While Today loads, a placeholder the card's size holds its spot, then the card fades in.
• Larger tap targets and screen reader labels in the rest timer, the effort rating help, the workout summary, search, route maps and the set steppers.
• On short screens, the personal best banner steps aside while you log, so the set row stays in view.

Fixed

• Steps from other apps in Health Connect no longer grow with every sync. Days that counted them more than once before this update keep the extra steps.
• Opening Kinoku now restarts phone step counting when Android has stopped it, as can happen after an update. Before, it could stay off until you switched it off and on.
• The Steps card says when the phone stopped counting, and one tap starts it.
• The PRO tag on the Progress Gallery Timeline tab no longer breaks in half on small phones.
• On Android 8 to 13, the Form curve and Training Load stayed empty or out of date. They now update after every workout.
• A second file shared into Kinoku while the import screen is open now gets its own review. Before, it was dropped.
• If saving workouts fails partway through an import, the summary no longer counts the sets that were not saved.
• Photo import reads "225 Ib" as 225 lb when the camera mistakes the l for a capital I.
• AI help for photo scan no longer closes the app when its model download ends.
• The strength gauge for the lift you picked in Pro Analytics now updates when you change your body weight. Pro.
• The push and pull balance tip reads fully in your language, and a pull-heavy week no longer shows a ratio below 1.
• Weekly Recap labels are now translated in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean.
• After you leave a skill, its screen clears and offers the skill picker, instead of still showing the skill you left.
• The Undo import dialog scrolls when your text size is large.

Added

• Journeys: walk Hadrian's Wall (135 km), the Tōkaidō (492 km) or the Odyssey (2,400 km) with the runs, walks and steps you track from the day you start, on drawn maps that work offline.
• Reach a stop to open its picture and story; names, distances and four previews show from the start.
• All 55 Tōkaidō stops carry Hiroshige's print and a short account of the place and scene.
• The Odyssey map tells apart known sites, ancient traditions and later proposals; its distance is a chosen length.
• Postcards: make one from the stop you reached or the road you finished, then share it where you like.
• What counts: switches for runs, walks, steps and optional gym work. Lifted distance shows apart, and steps inside tracked sessions count once.
• Pause a road and pick it up later, or walk a finished one again from the start. The earlier finish stays in your record.
• Sandstone Relief edition of Hadrian's Wall, with its own map and stop art. Pro. Walks started with Pro stay finishable after Pro ends.
• Open your road from Steps, Running, Discover, Today's glance bar or the free Road view in the Progress widget.
• First-run setup now offers a Walking focus, phone step counting and Walking, Running or Lifting bottom-tab presets.
• Setup on a new install has a Journeys choice. Pick it and Quick Start leads with Start a journey, with step counting offered just above.
• Clean Inline, Compact Pills and Tabular Grid share one inline editor on Today and the full session screen. Pick one in Settings → Workout, or turn inline editing off.
• Optional RPE (effort) and RIR (reps in reserve) fields beside weight and reps, still shown after the set.
• Program finder: give it your experience, goal, gear and days; it explains its pick, the trade-off and two alternatives.
• Ten more programs, 25 in all, including Classic 5×5, Reddit PPL, a Greyskull-style progression, PHAT (Power Hypertrophy Adaptive Training), more nSuns, and dumbbell or bodyweight plans.
• Programs like 5/3/1 and Classic 5x5 now have a Program settings screen: training days, lift maxes, weight jump size, and a start date you can move before they begin.
• PHUL (Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower) can progress its four power lifts from your training maxes. Programs starting later show their first date and upcoming sessions.
• Health Connect import brings in runs, walks and rides other apps saved there, treadmill runs and indoor rides included. Turn on Import Workouts and allow exercise and distance access; what arrives depends on the recording app.
• Kinoku Rings widget: score, daily steps and weekly workouts. With no goal set, it shows the number, not a missed target.
• Muscle Map widget: muscles trained in the past seven days; recovery colours are Pro. Both widgets: five sizes, full details hidden on the lock screen until enabled.
• Share a YouTube video to Kinoku and pick its exercise; it joins that exercise's form videos.
• Exercise info: Paste link saves a copied video link in one tap. With "Fetch video metadata" on, its title fills in from YouTube.
• Between sets, the exercise's form video sits under your personal best on the workout screen, one tap away.
• Assisted bodyweight moves, a training max in the exercise editor, and form cues, common mistakes and typical rep ranges for built-in moves.
• Skill Journey steps now form a ladder you can tap, with each step's purpose and your best logged effort.
• You can now swipe Today ahead to read a later day's program, skill and calendar sessions. You start each one on the day.
• Rest from Today now offers Undo, and Undo clears only the rest day that tap marked.
• A Getting started list on Today for your first two weeks: five steps, from a plan or a road to a home-screen widget, ticked off from what you have already done. One tap hides it.
• Coming from Hevy or FitNotes? Until your first workout, Quick Start and Today offer to bring your history in. Close the offer once and it stays gone.

Changed

• Redrawn Today card on Free and Pro, with a preview that shows the full reason and every exercise.
• On Free, Today now follows the Rotation Groups you build, with the weekly count, due routines, run bars and the offer to group routines you rotate. Only Pro's easy day can pick differently.
• The exercise count, first exercise names and your place in an ordered rotation moved from the Today card into its preview.
• Today's body now colors only the muscles this workout trains, the same way the Muscle Map does. Pro.
• Rest today sits in the header only while the section is collapsed, or after you mark rest.
• Leaving a Skill Journey now shows what stays before you confirm.
• Journeys and Skills take less room on Challenges, and New Challenge moves aside while you scroll.
• Library: tap an exercise to edit it; the row menu still opens details, and the editor and details sheet now link to each other.
• The program suggestion after your 15th workout is free and opens the finder. Recommendations show reasons, not a match percentage.
• The training calendar explains its phase band; single-phase programs show the week count, not a repeated phase name.
• Widgets follow Kinoku's light or dark setting.

Improved

• More room for the map on the run screen. Pull up the stats strip for detail and splits; the map above still pans and zooms.
• Numbers that match last time now show in grey, and set rows stop repeating last session's set beside them.
• An exercise now holds any number of saved links, where it used to stop at ten.
• Set up on a Today suggestion now opens that starter pack, not the whole list. When you apply a pack from Today, you land back on Today instead of the Calendar.
• Before your first workout, Today suggests your plan's first session rather than another starter pack. Start today moves that one session to today.
• Help improve Kinoku now sits at the top of Quick Start on a new install, with an info button that lists what it sends. It stays off unless you turn it on.
• Setup on a new install is redrawn: each choice has its own colour, a small picture and a check when picked. Quick check previews your units and week start, and Quick Start shows a picture of the start your picks lead to.

Fixed

• The run map no longer zooms out on pause. My location brings you back; the route button shows the whole run.
• Opening the app no longer flashes your last workout on the Today card before the day's pick. A placeholder holds its spot until the pick is ready.
• Bottom-of-screen buttons no longer hide under a three-button navigation bar, including Create Custom on Daily Pulse Metrics, Create Routine and the last rows in Settings.
• Today no longer hides every remaining plan for half an hour after your first planned session.
• Editing a set near the end of Today's list no longer hides the row under the keyboard.
• On busy calendar days the first routine now keeps the main spot, and later logs join its "+1" badge.
• Walks, rides, hikes and swims logged without a routine get their own calendar icon, not a running figure.
• Like Today, the full session screen now shows last time's numbers.
• The exercise editor asks before discarding changes and keeps them when you open the rest timer. Per-exercise rest presets are Pro.
• Saving an exercise with no category says what's missing; switching between Most used and A–Z jumps to the top.
• Energy check-ins work from the library, muscle pages, finished sessions and Focus Mode and survive Android closing the app; finished sessions show your answers.
• The What's new card no longer waits for a workout after an update, but keeps the short post-workout pause.
• The four Quick Start widget buttons fit properly at 2×2.
• Effort ratings are easier to read on light themes.
• Screen readers now say which option is chosen in segmented settings, such as how a routine updates after a workout.
• Overhead press, rows and chin-ups get the smaller upper-body step each cycle in programs you start from now on.
• Today's Weekly Health Recap no longer goes missing, and shows weight change in pounds if you use them.
• The program screen marks today's finished session as done and stops offering Start Workout.
• Program builder: saving no longer wipes notes or end date. Template programs no longer show a code under their name; their Description now starts empty.
• Tapping a later plan in the Calendar no longer starts a workout dated that day. It opens the plan's menu, where Start today moves it to today and starts it.
• Set rows no longer show pound weights like 132.2772: a 60 kg program set now reads 132.28 lbs.
• Starting a program while another one runs now asks first and names the program that pauses.
• An exercise opened from search now stays read-only and no longer shows a set editor with no workout to log into.
• Japanese and Korean now say Kinoku in the video notes, the health note and one backup error.
• With Help improve Kinoku on, the app no longer stops sending its own usage events after a restart.
• The notification permission prompt now names what Kinoku notifies you about. It no longer promises streak and session reminders, which Kinoku doesn't send.
• Correction: the 1.2 release notes said 23 themes, 17 free. Kinoku 1.2 had 25 themes, and 19 of them were free.
• A Rotation Group set to Free pool no longer suggests the same routine every day. On a tie, Today picks the one done longest ago.

Removed

• The "Great session / Recovery starts now" card that sat on Today for half an hour after a workout. It showed no numbers of its own.

Added

• You can now overlay two metrics for one exercise, on a shared reference point of 100. Scrubbing shows real values; the pair is remembered. Pro.
• Change History keeps every change you make on your device, before and after, deleted items included. Cycle changes stay in the separate private cycle store.
• Quiet step mode: no notification, updates about every 15 minutes, first-time default. "Show notification" on Steps gives a live count.

• Search reaches scenes, all Help answers, Quick Log, Skill Journeys, themes, settings and every pinnable screen.
• The Progress widget can show Training form: your number and Tired, OK or Fresh, plus the last eight days as dots at wider sizes.
• Every built-in exercise now shows the right movement, with 1,138 silhouettes across 1,321 exercises, used throughout the app. Choices you saved before still work.
• Library and picker cards show a small body with the muscles each exercise works lit up.
• Skill Journeys: you can run several of the seven free journeys beside your programs. Completed sets move you up, not checked-off dates.
• Landing a skill shows the weeks, sessions and starting set behind it, plus an optional photo and share card. Earned skills stay unless you delete their session.
• Today, Log, Coach, Challenges, exercise details, Stats, the watch, Help, Search and Your Story follow your skill journey. Less assistance reads as progress.
• The skill plan asks about the test once a week. You can test early from any step, and repeat-week, step-back and load offers apply only if you accept.
• Skill Journeys survive a phone move through ZIP export and restore, with linked routines, plans, graduation photo and progress.
• A rung marker by the date on Log shows your climb, even on rest days, and steps aside when the session names the skill. Tap for the journey, hold for the board.
• Three widgets, one job each: Today helps you decide, Progress shows a signal you pick, Quick Start opens what you pick. App-icon shortcuts and a Quick Settings tile add Start and Resume.
• Lock-screen widgets are private by default, showing a Summary unless you switch that widget to Full details.
• Today's lead card says if its pick came from your plan, usual day or rotation. "Other options" holds other plans, the skipped rotation, your last session, rest, browse and log.
• Long-press Today's top bar to choose its numbers and their order. Score always leads, and at least two stay.
• A new account now opens on a starter pack for your setup focus, showing its routines before adding anything.
• Rotation picks show your place in the week against a target you set: "Main 1 of 3 this week."
• Routines set to repeat now appear under "Other options" as their due date nears.
• Import format guide at kinoku.app/import-format. The Import screen links to it and copies a ready prompt.
• Two Kinoku import files: a flat Kinoku CSV, and a Kinoku Import JSON with history, routines, a calendar plan, custom metrics and training maxes. Re-imports skip workouts whose ids came in before.
• Export for AI in Settings: you pick a date range and share a small file with an AI app, and can share its plan back to Kinoku.
• A pinned set bar and count in the workout header track progress. Past halfway, it counts sets left.
• Photo or screenshot to routine, read on your phone with nothing uploaded. You check unsure parts, then import.

• An exercise's History tab now names each session's routine, with its icon and color.
• The recap shows each lift on a bar from typical to your 3-month best, also under the routine trend on Stats.
• Tapping a records count, such as "2 records in one session", opens the full list.
• Swims, classes, rowing and mobility feed training form, from your effort rating or an estimate. A tapped day shows its date, form and load.
• Meridian: a new theme, free for everyone, in warm cream with the icon's teal and blue.
• A Light/Dark/System switch in the theme picker and Appearance, and previews re-tint as you flip it.
• The routine editor flags targets that stopped matching your recent sessions, shows what you lifted, and updates both numbers on a tap.
• "Log a class" now sits under your scenes in the sheet Today's Scene button opens. The small button next to LOG EXERCISE can open it too, set in Appearance or Today's settings.
• The class sheet now opens on your last class, with its usual length and muscles filled in.
• A new Relative Strength card joins your strength scores, showing each lift as a multiple of body weight, even with biological sex unset. Pro.

• Training Load lists your last five runs with TSS (training stress score) and TRIMP (training impulse). Pro.
• Appearance opens as Customize Kinoku, and the screen and its Theme and Coaching tips rows say what they hold.

Changed

• The step card is "Count steps with this phone" now, and says your watch, Health Connect and tracked walks still count when it is off.
• Run maps share one pace color scale now, from your last 90 days, heatmap included. The legend shows its two paces.
• This week, today's sources and step records are free now. Tapping a day on the This week chart shows its steps, goal progress, and brisk and run minutes.
• Step records now include this week and month, marked "so far", while best day waits for today to end. Streak, goal rate and daily average show from day one, not after a full week.
• Streak challenges no longer show Projections, What-If or the pace badge. Pro.
• Steps leads with today and this week, keeps history with tracking off, charts seven calendar days and grows Analytics from two days to ninety.
• Launcher icons now fit round masks: Ensō in teal and bronze, Meridian in green and blue. The first-run chooser shows all four looks.
• Progression now learns each set position, not a universal 8–12 rule. It adds a rep at a time, learns when two works, and counts easier repeats as progress.
• Weight jumps no longer cut a set in half. Progression drops only two reps until it learns your usual reset.
• Workout guidance sits in a bubble beside its set. Hard sets now keep their target and suggest more rest. Pro.
• Today adds rotation and habit rails, compact session facts, a free routine canvas, collapsed exercise ideas and a clearer done state.
• Today's top bar numbers are now buttons: Workouts opens the calendar, distance your runs. Steps join with tracking on.
• Exports protect the backup already there: no overwriting a non-empty file, and a note if an incomplete file needs deleting.
• Undo now covers large step-history restores, keeping your local history and goals you changed afterward.
• Moving phones no longer leaves a half-restored Skill Journey. Repeat restores make no copies, and an interrupted one can be undone.
• Photo files are now optional in exports and start off, while photo details still go along. Turning files on includes photos in Trash.
• Exercise charts on Stats now zoom to your range, not zero. Session totals still start at zero.
• Mid-workout, the exercise graph gets more room: at least 180 dp, no records card on the Graph tab, and scrolling on small screens.
• Your Steps widget becomes the Progress widget in place, staying on Steps until you pick another lens.
• Cycle phases show as one band on the calendar, not separate ticks, with a color key under the header.
• Period days are marked on the calendar: a filled circle if logged, a ring if expected. Your next period now shows, where its day was blank.
• Data screens like Routines, Lift Progress, Running Progress and Pro Analytics open with a big title that tucks into the bar on scroll.
• Your form number now matches everywhere, where the Coach card and the Training Load screen could show two values for one day.
• The form curve now updates when you finish a workout, where it used to wait overnight.
• Fresh, OK and Tired follow your own recent range. Fitness and Fatigue get their own scale, with a rest-or-keep-going outlook.
• Backups now verify every database file, and a restore checks them first. A crash can no longer break a restore: it finishes or puts your old data back.
• Watch sets not yet on your phone survive app resets and are re-sent.
• Workout finishes now survive crashes and force-stops. Records, achievements, rewards, sync and the recap catch up on the next launch.
• Cycle-phase history and cycle-based coaching now stay in the private cycle store, out of Android cloud backup. Your training, settings, custom metrics, achievements and exports carry over.
• Cycle settings now live in the private cycle store, and standard exports, imports and Undo keep them there. Search and Discover always list Cycle Tracking, with its own private setup.
• New app icon: a green-to-blue brush ring with a polygon dumbbell, also inside most themes. Ensō now shows it in teal and brass.
• Stats, records and totals lead their cards now, in a font built for figures with the label below.
• Calmer cards: a thin line or a soft lift, never both, and the filled boxes inside are gone. Section headings are smaller and spaced out.
• Stats summary cards stack at the largest text sizes instead of clipping long totals.
• Feature icons in Search, Settings and the side menu now carry your theme's colours.

• A routine now starts with your last session's numbers, unless you edited it since.
• Easy-day adjustments now scale what you lifted last time, not the routine's written number.
• New sets in the routine editor copy the one above, type and numbers included.
• Routine changes wait for your tap on a review sheet after each workout, increases ticked. Auto-apply is in Settings → Workout.
• "Rearrange tabs" is now "Customize bar", and a long-press on a tab opens a small glass menu over it.
• New installs open on Meridian, and the theme you already picked stays yours.
• Rest timer, gym, run and step notifications now show the app icon you chose, not one fixed badge.
• "Your progress" is now Running Progress. Stats, Running Progress, Run Analytics, Health Dashboard and Pro Analytics explain themselves behind ⓘ.

Improved

• A live workout can be edited without leaving Today. Tapped weight, reps, distance or time save when you pause; the check still marks a set done.
• Exercise art fills its tiles, with worked muscles close up. Exercise Info and Edit now show a large preview.
• Seven unfamiliar screens now explain themselves once, and five keep the summary behind ⓘ.
• Run Analytics cards now show a faded outline of each run's route.
• Maps stay sharp however far you zoom on Standard, Light, Dark and Voyager. Topo still uses picture tiles.

• Trash now sits in the Calendar settings sheet as well as Data settings.
• Every routine edit now reaches the watch: removing, reordering, supersetting or changing sets.
• Wilks and DOTS (body-weight strength scores) are now in Search, and the Strength tab links to the two profile fields they need. Pro.
• Run Analytics tabs swipe sideways, and tapping a tab still works.

Fixed

• Cleared weight, reps and effort stay cleared as you edit a set, even if you mark it incomplete. Autosave keeps its done state, notes and body weight.
• Matching a previous set in pounds keeps its exact weight. Completing a set no longer jumps from a newer selection or changes another exercise's load.
• Skill goals and receipts now follow renamed exercises and log edits. A workout delivered more than once no longer earns extra progress.
• Paused skills still count logged workouts, and resuming moves only the paused dates you did not edit.
• Weekly skill counts follow your local calendar and scheduled sessions, and receipts show the set and metric that earned the move.
• Progression advice keeps its set position past unfinished sets, and a body-weight change no longer counts as the same load. Pro.
• Small increments stay exact through unit changes and reopening; late accepts cannot undo a done set. Pro.
• Repeating an equal bodyweight performance no longer earns a false strength record.
• Undoing an import keeps later sets, routines and measurements that use what it added.
• Resuming or deleting a workout while its recap is prepared no longer shows that stale recap.
• Watch routes stay ready to retry after a temporary database failure on the phone.
• Turning off photo-scan AI stops it at once and keeps the text-reader result. Failed downloads wait for a retry.
• A Hevy export in pounds imports now, and its workouts no longer land on the wrong day.
• Photo-scan AI shows only on supported phones, which can switch it on from the scanner or Import & Export. Model setup now resumes after interruptions.
• Step tracking without permission, as with Physical activity off or after a phone move, no longer closes Kinoku over and over. It restarts once you allow it.
• Step counting no longer stops after six hours on Android 15 and newer, or keeps closing Kinoku for the rest of the day.
• Removing location permission mid-run no longer closes Kinoku over and over. Tracking stops and keeps what it recorded for the next time you open a run.
• A swiped-away step notification no longer returns within a minute. On Android 14 and up it stays hidden until tracking restarts.
• Step Analytics opens on the newest date, keeps a tapped bar, tells gaps from zero and sums changing goals. Records and brisk trends show dates. Pro.
• The Kinoku mark in your status bar is readable again, with a small version drawn for each icon.
• The cycle calendar swipes sideways by month now, and page scrolling no longer fights it. Arrows sit above.
• Today on the cycle calendar now has "Log period start", like any other day.
• A bad translation no longer closes the app: Coach in German, Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese, routine review in French and Italian. Broken lines now show in English.
• Broken accents fixed in 21 lines of German, Spanish and French, such as "NÄCHSTES SIGNAL" and "PATRÓN".
• Starting a run with weather on, or pasting a video link into a routine, no longer closes the app.
• Your step history adds up again. Days that recorded thousands of steps but showed 0 or a handful are repaired from what was recorded, once, on the next launch.
• Timer-run circuits, watch runs and empty saves now count in streak badges, the tree and the share card.
• The Pulse card no longer shows a four-day circuit streak beside zero workouts.
• A finished challenge no longer redraws its chart when opened. Long streak charts open faster.
• New bench and squat challenges now track the bar lift you meant, named on the goal screen.
• Editing a challenge can switch its exercise, and "Include all history" now sits on it and needs no restart.
• The "Build the Habit" badge now says weeks, not Sessions, with this week's trained days below.
• Maps are readable again: no "API KEY REQUIRED" on four of five styles, on route maps, the heatmap or share cards. Topo was never affected.
• Maps credit their source on screen, and share cards carry the credit their map style asks for.
• The Quick Start widget preview shows in the widget picker, where some phones said "Couldn't add widget."
• Stats charts get more room: the title moves to the top bar, and the blank strip above the bottom nav is gone.
• Steps, analytics and every customizable screen use the full space above the bottom bar again.
• Score history from a v1.2 full export is back in Score story after an upgrade or restore. Forecasts and records use only scores under the current rules.
• Best Time now means your best time: the longest hold in range, not the latest, and no false projected records. The info button no longer takes its own row.
• Years of step history no longer make an export or restore run out of memory, and the full history still comes along.
• An unfamiliar CSV in a newer Kinoku export is skipped and named in import notices, not blocking the rest.
• Editing a completed set no longer risks closing the app.
• Typing a rest time no longer fights the keyboard: a tap selects minutes or seconds, and the first digit stays put.
• Travel no longer moves a planned workout to the day before in Export for AI.
• Yesterday's workout stays on yesterday: adding a set later extends its end by the minutes spent.
• Tap the times or duration on a finished card to set start and end, dates included. Warns past twelve hours.
• Class and guided sessions now say "22 min of activity", not "21:41 of activity", on the big card too.
• Focus Mode says it is on, with a Turn off button in its toast and a note on an empty day.
• Finished days you browse back to no longer say "Great session".
• Planned rest and cross-train days no longer show a Start button that does nothing.
• A scheduled workout no longer hides under a collapsed "Today", and a second plan that day is reachable again.
• The card no longer claims more trained weeks than exist.
• Today's ideas are no longer alphabetical: they lean on lifts you have done and shuffle the rest daily. Pro.
• Plus and minus now work during the rest countdown, ten seconds a tap, and presets move it too.
• The recap now names the new-best count alone, not "2 of 4 lifts at a new best" on an eight-exercise day.
• The Pro description for Tomorrow's focus no longer promises four states; it names the real ends of the scale.
• Reduced Motion now does what it says: no breathing Pulse orb, loading shimmers or step screen crossfades.
• In Turkish, the wordmark reads Kinoku again, not KİNOKU, on the splash screen and bet result card. English labels lose stray Turkish dots.
• About fifty small icon buttons now report their real tap size to screen readers.
• A routine now starts the same from every door: the editor and calendar apply percent-of-max, warmups and program changes, as Today does.
• Circuit routines from the calendar now ask for Pro instead of opening a broken plain session. Pro.
• Creating a routine no longer loses your draft if the save fails or the phone rotates, with a Retry.
• Finishing a run from the Today card now keeps its splits, pace, heart-rate zones and map. The run screen was never affected.
• A missed plan is no longer stuck on the calendar: a tap offers start, move or delete.
• Some screens now say 26 themes, not 21 or 22, and more than 1,300 exercises, not 1,100.
• Photo overlay sharing is free, and the FAQ, which listed it under Pro, now says so.
• The paywall and help answers say Pro now, not Elite. Strength levels like Elite DOTS keep the word.
• Watch sets now wait for the phone to confirm them, so a set no longer vanishes if the phone misses it.
• The watch runs one session at a time, and now names the one already going if you start another.
• A starter pack no longer leaves a workout that looks live, which could block starting a run.
• The Scene button tells screen readers what it is and keeps its width at large text. Load and Scene now sit centered in their Today chips.
• The Today card now honors "Tap row to complete sets" when that setting is off.
• Muscle map defaults now stick: a Recovery default no longer opens on Frequency.
• The cycle calendar now starts the week on your Settings day, not the phone's language.
• Long-pressing a muscle on the Today figure no longer pushes Start under the action bar.
• Zone Training no longer lumps old runs into the current week; they regroup once on the next launch. Pro.
• With Longevity mode on, the Pulse panel now carries that mode's title.
• A cross-train day on Today says "Log Bike ride" now, not a "Start" that opened nothing.

Added

• A color key on the run map. Tap it: green is your fastest stretch on that run, not a fixed pace.
• Log a class in a few taps, such as yoga, spin, HIIT or barre, with its length, effort and muscles. It lands on your calendar and muscle map.
• From the workout screen you can now edit an exercise or save a copy: name, type, gear, muscles. You pick if past workouts follow.
• First launch asks for a look: Ensō, Volt or Ensō Red. It sets the colors, home screen icon and in-app mark; other themes sit under More themes.
• Three app icons under Settings → Appearance → App Icon: Ensō, Volt and Ensō Red. The icon follows your theme unless you pin one. Android Settings still shows Ensō.
• The Training Calendar can show cycle phases: a colored line per day, a phase line above the grid, a legend.
• Cycle settings sit one tap from the cycle screen. Set cycle length by hand, or let Kinoku work it out.
• Any period's dates are now editable, not just the last one's, from history, the calendar or the phase card buttons. The old Adjust end date button did nothing.

Changed

• Every daily symptom now uses one 1 to 5 scale, with a picker showing every level. Cramps, bloating and flow used to run 0 to 3, and a tap on a ring nudged the number.
• Cycle colors now follow your theme instead of one teal and amber on all 23 themes.
• The cycle calendar shows one month at a time; a scroll lands on the next month, not halfway down a week.
• Pro is now the only paid plan, and all of Elite moved in at Pro's price: analytics hub, Readiness, autoregulation, weight suggestions, Coach patterns, race predictions, ghost run compare.
• Elite Analytics is now called Pro Analytics, with the same tabs and numbers in the same menu spot.
• The whole periodization system is now free. Only the tuning layers stay Pro: volume landmarks, RIR (reps in reserve) autoregulation and readiness.
• Obsidian and Aurora are Pro themes. Six of the 23 themes are Pro; the other 17 stay free.
• Rewards are now for free users only; earning Pro time is unchanged. The six Pro-to-Elite rewards are retired.
• Five calendar shortcuts stay Pro: dragging a plan to another day, pulling one to today, repeating a day, moving a whole day and setting a workout to repeat. Copying a day to today stays free.
• Both free calendar limits are gone: ten planned workouts, two weeks ahead at most.
• Pulse: free users get two insights a day instead of one, Pro five. Free forecasts reach a day ahead, Pro three days and a week.
• Custom metrics no longer stop at three at a time, every type is open, and imports no longer trim them.
• The Circuit Warrior starter pack is free; its two routines import as normal workouts you can start without Circuit mode, which is still Pro.
• Building a routine starts with the exercises, at the top, with name, video and settings in small cards below. Add Exercise stays pinned at the bottom.
• You can now pick several exercises at once: tap each, then Add. The picker used to close after every pick. Each added exercise arrives with three empty sets, no guessed weights.
• A new routine opens on the exercise picker and asks only for a name. Color and icon moved into the routine.

Fixed

• A cycle day now reads the same everywhere: fertile ring plus a colored phase line. The calendar could show a green fertile ring while the sheet said Ovulatory.
• Fertile rings and the peak-day dot now show only with Trying to conceive on, not for every cycle tracker.
• During pregnancy the day sheet stops naming a cycle phase. Tapping a day used to answer "Luteal phase".
• Search in the side panel opens search now, not the last screen you opened from a result.
• When Kinoku relabels a run as a walk, the Today card now says so, with Keep or Change. The old "tap to confirm" had nothing to confirm.
• That prompt now shows on an expanded run card too, not only a collapsed one.
• Undo after changing a run's type now works; it used to do nothing.
• The colored band at the top of every screen is gone. The background now runs all the way up.
• Volt's dark background is teal again, not olive. Ensō Red stays warm top to bottom, no grey mid-screen.
• A run's header bar now folds the map away, and the X on the map's point and sector cards closes them.
• Step tracking now uses far less battery.
• Pressing home on the Steps screen no longer leaves every sensor at full speed until you close the app.
• Tracking mode cards no longer sell live cadence as Precision-only; it works in every mode with the Steps screen open.
• Step counting now uses the sensor's clock. The old timing could hide real steps or count a phone on a desk.
• The chips above a routine now jump to the right section; Settings used to land on the video card.
• Clearing a routine's name no longer saves it blank.
• The watch now asks for location and sensor access before a run; on newer watches, Start Run used to crash.
• Heart rate on the watch works now, with both the old and the Android 16 permission name.
• Text and buttons now stay inside the round watch screen instead of being sliced by its curve.
• Your workout keeps its watch-face indicator when heart rate drops out, where the whole session used to vanish from the watch face.
• A workout you finish on the watch arrives finished. Out of range, the phone could offer to Resume it, and the watch could lose it.
• The watch-face chip now names your session and runs a stopwatch, not a frozen line. Tapping it returns to your run, and it shows in recent apps.
• Mid-run, the Quick Start tile now shows your distance and opens the run, instead of saying Ready.
• App updates no longer put our gear, bodyweight setting or (on some moves) exercise type back over your edits. Edits made before this update get overwritten one last time, then stay yours.
• Renaming a built-in exercise is safe from here on; updates used to add it back under the old name. An earlier rename still leaves a copy behind, once.
• During a boost, the Subscription screen now shows your real plan with a boost chip. No more giant Elite badge or hidden Upgrade and Compare buttons.
• Reward time adds up now. Rewards earned together used to overlap, so 336 banked hours could give only 168. New grants queue end to end.
• Each reward now shows once in Recent activity, not twice as "Earned" and "Reward granted".
• After a big import, rewards now come a couple at a time over your next workouts, milestones before streak rewards.
• The 1-Year Anniversary reward now counts your time in the app, not from your oldest workout.
• Repeating your best set exactly no longer shows a new PR (personal record).
• A repeated session no longer wins a volume record it did not set (bodyweight sets, or logging in pounds).
• Your saved records stay as they are after this update. Editing an old workout, a backup restore, an import or a watch sync rebuilds PR history with the new rule.
• The label above the faded numbers now names the real range and date. It used to show 19 then 17 as "2×19" and call an older session "Last".
• Tapping a set complete now saves the RPE (rate of perceived exertion) shown, as the Complete button already did.
• Your watch no longer clears an RPE you typed on your phone.
• An exercise added mid-workout lands where you added it, not at the end of the routine.
• Dialog buttons no longer hide under the navigation bar. A small phone could not create a new metric.
• Same fix for the muscle-activation prompts, rest timer, plate calculator, time picker and add-exercise sheet.
• Long dialogs now scroll with buttons kept at the bottom, and dialog buttons ride above the keyboard.
• A set now moves as a whole: weight and reps wait for you together. The routine used to pair a heavier weight with the old rep target.
• Apply all still leaves skipped exercises and lower reps alone, now listed unticked on your workout summary.
• A suggested RPE now shows faded until you touch it or it saves, unless its RIR partner is already saved. Screen readers hear the difference too.
• Mark Incomplete now keeps your saved RPE. The Match chip no longer clears it when last session had none, and now saves what it fills in instead of showing unsaved numbers.
• Two sets no longer glow at once; a teal outline used to stick on the wrong set.
• Empty-screen buttons now stack full width; Browse Starter Packs no longer wraps a syllable per line.
• Paying members can reach Compare plans again. The button sat off the Subscription screen's edge.
• The side panel's Upgrade card stays put during a reward boost. Boosted free members used to lose it.
• An empty strip under the Exercise Library's Category and Exercise buttons is gone.
• The body-weight percent box shows a "%" instead of a label that wrapped over your number.

Added

• After-workout review: save your new exercise order to the routine. It names only what you moved.
• Route heatmap: tap a route to light up every run on that course, listed below with the group's total distance. Pro.
• "Longest Hold" challenge goal: your best single wall sit, L-sit or plank, not the sum of your sets.
• 28 steps now bridge beginner and the pull-up, muscle-up, handstand, front lever, L-sit and pistol squat, including false grip hangs and tuck front levers.
• Total Load shows the share of body weight a move lifts, flags a fallback guess, and lets you change it.

Changed

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

Fixed

• Yearly on the Upgrade screen shows each price once now, in the order you pay it, not three that could not all be true.
• Monthly now leads with today's price. It showed the full price three times and the cheaper first months once.
• Picking monthly no longer hides the yearly plan's free trial line.
• "Choose Pro" now says when it is a scheduled switch, which changes your plan when the current one ends.
• The set you are editing stays in view now, instead of hiding behind the input panel.
• Update Routine from a workout no longer wipes notes, and keeps rep ranges, target RPE, rest times and "% of training max".
• Supersets stay together when a routine updates: a split pair closes ranks instead of pulling in a third exercise.
• Empty sets show up now. A hidden one used to block the exercise with nothing to tap.
• Supersets now stop at the end of the round and skip what you finished, not loop back to the first exercise.
• 13 moves now log the right thing: the neck holds and Downward Facing Balance log seconds, and five core moves are back on reps.
• Iron Cross now logs weight and seconds, the sleds weight and distance, and the 12-3-30 walk distance and time.
• A log type you set yourself stays. For those 13 moves nothing is deleted, but older sets can show empty in History until you log them again.
• 20 twin pairs like "Ring Dip" and "Ring Dips" now share one history. Your watch keeps the old name until its updated app syncs your phone's library.
• Dead Bug counts as strength again, so it adds to your muscle map and weekly volume.
• Pushups sits near the top of the picker again.
• Flutter Kicks and Thoracic Rotation each split in two, adding Prone Flutter Kicks and Supine Thoracic Rotation.
• The program library and builder open for Pro members again, instead of the upgrade screen. Pro.
• Features you own no longer show lock badges in search, the Weekly Volume card or the autoregulation card. Pro and Elite.
• Empty Programs screen: "Browse templates" and "Build your own" now, not just a back button. Pro.
• Program builder: Activate stays off until a week has a routine, with the reason shown above it. Pro.
• Ready-made challenges now pick the move they name, so "30-Second L-Sit" no longer fills in Foot-Supported L-Sit.

Added

• Two more languages, Bulgarian and Turkish, on the phone and the watch.
• Whole-routine trends: one chart for total work, one for strength, each lift measured from its own start.
• Routine recap: on a new best or milestone, today against your usual for the whole routine.
• Each lift gets a progressing, holding or slipping label, and its chart shades the usual range of your recent sessions.
• A switch in the exercise info sheet keeps a move out of progress tracking, handy for warm-ups, stretches and rehab.
• Stuck lift? A card lists things lifters try, like one extra set, a lighter week or a close swap, each with why it might fit. Pro.
• The Lift Progress screen ranks your lifts, the ones that need a look on top, over a grid of trend charts on one shared scale. Pro.
• An all-time best now leads the recap with one gold card, a small burst and a firm buzz.
• Coach card: up to three stalled or slipping lifts worth a look, with one plain line about why. Pro.
• Drag the score history chart to any day and read one line on what pushed it up or down. The 1-year and all-time views are Pro.
• "View recap" on any past workout brings back its personal records (PRs), muscle map and score.
• New members can start monthly Pro or Elite at half price for the first 3 months, no countdown. Yearly now shows the first-year discount beside the price you pay after.
• The run compare card now shows today's top speed beside your usual and your best. Pro.
• The compare card opens Running Progress at the matching distance, and a personal best there opens its run. The card is Pro; the screen is free.
• Per-set plans in routines: a rep range, target effort and rest time, shown as a hint you can always override.
• A set can hold a percent of your training max instead of a fixed weight, and every routine follows when the max changes.
• Auto warm-up: switch it on for an exercise and Kinoku builds warm-up sets up to your first working weight.
• Tempo per exercise, in four boxes: seconds to lower, pause, lift and pause again, shown as a hint on every set.
• Your fastest pace, fastest 5K, top speed, longest run and biggest climb, each with the day you set it, plus charts over time.
• The home-screen widget, in two sizes, shows your Kinoku Score, today's plan and streak, then your live set and rest timer as you train.
• One line on the compare card sums up two runs, like "This run was quicker, mostly in the back half." Elite.
• The compare list now ranks same-route runs first, then close distances, then recent ones. On a repeat route, Kinoku offers to line it up against your last one. Elite.
• Four new starter packs: Bodyweight Basics, Home Dumbbell, Glutes & Lower Body and Hybrid Athlete. General Fitness is now a full three-day week.
• Runs now compare to your past runs: one plain line, then pace, heart rate and fitness against your usual, with hill-adjusted pace. Pro.
• Pro has a lifetime option now, like Elite, so you can buy it once and keep it.
• After an update, a Today card sums up the main changes, and a "What's new" row in Settings opens the full changelog.

Changed

• The Today card drops the green "Looks good" tag on normal days. A tag now means Kinoku adjusted something.
• 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.
• Rough US dollar prices are now labeled as estimates when the Play Store cannot load real ones.
• The Run Studio map is colored by pace now, matching the run summary map, with a small key. The ghost run stays flat.
• Compare picker rows now draw each run's route shape beside its name and your notes. Elite.
• Tapping a run now opens its summary first (splits, map, stats), with Run Studio one tap further.
• Prompts and buttons now say "Pro" and "Elite" as words; the small badge tags stay PRO and ELITE.
• Coach alerts lead the screen now, above the fitness curve. Pro.
• Rest today moved into the Today header, beside the section title instead of under the card.
• "Unfinished workout" card: the button says "Review", a new "Keep" leaves the day in your history, and "Discard" still moves it to the Trash.

Improved

• Bottom tabs work with screen readers: each says its name and whether it is picked, and the tab menu opens without a long press.
• Set logging for screen readers: plus and minus read like "Increase Weight" or "Decrease Reps", and the set checkbox says if the set is done, with a bigger tap area.
• The Stats activity map and the Running Progress trend chart now give screen readers a short summary.
• With "remove animations" on, pulses and shimmers on charts and cards hold still, and the rest timer stops flashing in its last 10 seconds.
• The lift chart follows your finger through your sessions, with a soft tick on each and a stronger one on record days.
• Lift charts sweep in the line, pop in the dots, then fade in the fill. Record sessions are gold dots, and your latest draws a little bigger.
• Each little lift trend chart is now drawn against its own start, on one shared scale and timeline. Pro.
• Routine charts mark their baselines: your starting point on strength, your typical session on volume.
• Chart side labels land on even steps now: 150, 160, 170, not 162 and 174.
• Estimated one-rep max (1RM) shows whole numbers, like 192 instead of 192.9. Logged weights still show as you typed them.
• Lift history sums up each past session as your top set and estimated 1RM.
• An empty Exercises tab now shows your most-trained lifts as chips that jump to a chart.
• Locked features look the same everywhere, with one style of PRO and ELITE tags and cards. A locked preview's note sits on its own panel, not over it.
• Ties now read as ties: a tied 5K no longer shows as worse, or a flat week as a gain.
• With one matching run, the compare card shows simple tags like "15s slower" instead of a slider with nowhere to move. Pro.
• Better, worse, same and new best use one color set on every screen now. New bests are always gold, even the once-green record banner. Heart rate and climb get no good or bad color.
• A Run Analytics card on Stats opens pace, zones and fitness. The side menu links Run Analytics, Run Studio, Route Heatmap and Running Progress. Route Heatmap is Pro.
• On same-route runs, the ghost run lines up by distance, not by the clock. Elite.
• Settings rows, the daily tip's close button and the tip arrows on Today meet the standard touch size now.
• Stats: Overview leads with your activity map, info buttons explain each number, and empty parts say so instead of vanishing.
• Coach notes on deloads, a high resting heart rate and short sleep now read as observations, not orders.
• New info button: what a muscle's Volume, Intensity, Status and Frequency numbers each mean.
• After a workout, several achievements collapse into one note, and a celebration waits until you close the summary.
• Fewer back-to-back coaching tips: they share one small budget.
• A closed weekly health digest stays gone for the week.
• One name per feature across the app, and more coach tips read as calm suggestions.
• The side menu is grouped now, under headings like Train, Review and Insights. Programs has its own row and is Pro.
• Small touches: an info button on Recovery Progress, icons on the Settings sections, and the side menu opens from the Insights tab.

Fixed

• Elite strength scores show up now: DOTS, IPF GL and Wilks name a missing Biological sex setting, the standard barbell squat counts in your total, accessories stay out, FFMI works without it. Elite.
• The home-screen widget stops nagging about old workouts: a workout is live only on its first day, and tapping a live one opens it.
• A Today card cleans up a workout you never really started: reopen the empty session, or move it to the trash with undo.
• The gold "All-time Best" tile means all time now, not just the time range you picked.
• Chart High and Low chips stick to your data now, not a guide line's value like "High 9" on an effort chart you never pushed past 6.5.
• Recap: a chip that rounds to 0 no longer shows an up arrow, and the space before the weight unit is back.
• Only the top billing notice shows on your home screen now; the rest live on your Subscription screen.
• On run days, the Today card's Start button opens the GPS run tracker now, not a gym session.
• Daylight saving no longer breaks a streak or costs a week-based badge.
• Pulse "Training Variety" scores read truer now, and a bit higher.
• Warm-ups no longer pad stats totals or exercise challenge progress. A padded challenge may show a lower number.
• Program templates work again. Starting one could fail for everyone, even on Elite. Pro and Elite.
• A restore can't take your plan away anymore, and neither can the startup check.
• A late purchase now counts right away, not after a restart. "You already own this" now turns your plan on instead of showing an error.
• Free trials show up when you qualify, and the trial badge matches what you get.
• An upgrade reaches your watch right away, not at the next unrelated settings change.
• Yoga, stretch and dance no longer add to strength volume, and seated dumbbell moves count again. The fix applies itself the next time you open the app.
• Run replay buttons no longer hide behind the three-button bar. Pro and Elite.
• After a run, back goes to Today instead of reopening the finish screen.
• Searching "garden" no longer points to a feature shelved before launch.
• Search finds "flex metrics" again; the screen is now Daily Pulse Metrics.
• The notification ask stops after a few tries, a day apart, then leaves it to Settings.
• Step grid, charts, records and weekly goal start weeks on the day you picked in Kinoku, not your phone's. Weekly totals and best week may change. Grid and goal are free; charts and records are Pro.
• Your streak reads the same everywhere now, where Pulse could show a smaller number than Today.
• Wrapped, your year in review, shows your year's longest streak and compares your year so far with the same slice of last year.
• A run from months ago is no longer called a new personal best.
• Charts of every workout no longer smear or dip below zero, and show the year when they span more than one.
• Stats' empty metrics state says your metrics look steady instead of asking you to log a few days.
• The lifetime step total no longer shows a 7-day up-or-down badge.
• Achievements stops flickering its progress bars, and Stats and the calendar feel snappier after years of data.

Removed

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

Added

Lock screen and Today

• The lock screen now controls runs (pause, lap, mute cues, end) and gym workouts (next set, log as planned or edit first, finish).
• Your latest run leads Today: route in pace colors, distance, time and pace in large type. Run weeks add a "This week" line with workout count and total distance.
• One-tap Run button on the LOG EXERCISE pill. Settings can swap in any scene or turn it off.
• Tomorrow's Focus on Today in run weeks. Full call on Elite; Free and Pro see what the card does.

• A first-day welcome stack: start a workout, track a run, browse starter packs, take a day-one photo or pick a theme.
• A "New" badge marks records since your last visit. Tap for the list; a row opens its exercise.
• Hold the body figure half a second to browse muscles by dragging; a quick tap still opens the Muscle Map.

Discovery and onboarding

• First-launch check: confirm the units, week start and language guessed from your phone.
• A 3-2-1 get-ready countdown before timed moves.
• Rating prompt only at a good moment, never after a crash, and off for good from a Settings switch.

Look and feel

• Achievement badges are now ink-marked paper discs with a red seal when earned. New paper share card: your stat in ink on cream.
• Kamon theme: cream paper, ink and a red seal accent. Pro.
• Emerald Foil (glossy green to near-black, lime accent), Ironwood (forest green, brass) and Sakura (plum, rose gold) themes. All Pro.

Exercises and routines

• 65 new exercises: strongman, Olympic lifts, powerlifting, HYROX, mace, calisthenics, yoga, Pilates, animal flow. Filters: sled, sandbag, rings, landmine, mace, foam roller, plyo box, cardio machines.
• A YouTube or Vimeo link makes a routine a follow-along, each exercise pinned to a moment. If the video has chapters, Kinoku offers to build the list from them.
• In a follow-along, the active card shows a big video thumbnail, a play chip per pinned exercise and an offer to log time watched.
• The rest timer now follows you everywhere: a compact bar above the bottom nav with pause, +10s and skip.
• Charts for every exercise type: holds (best, total, average time), reps (best, total), distance (best, total). A button by the time range opens it in Stats.
• Untagged custom exercises: after a set, Kinoku asks once per workout to fill in the muscles.
• Guided, follow-along and cardio sessions can now carry muscle tags, for the recovery overlay only, never volume, landmarks or records.
• Rotation Groups for A/B/C splits: Smart Today picks your next workout within a weekly cap.
• Routine roles (Main, Accessory, Run, or HIIT for high-intensity intervals), each with a target frequency the Coach card tracks. Schedules: weekly, every N days after the last, or none.
• New routines link past workouts with a similar exercise mix.

Runs

• Run Studio, a one-run deep dive: pace, heart-rate and elevation panes that zoom together, a crosshair mirrored on the map, nine charts. Studio free, replay Pro, ghost compare Elite.
• In Run Studio: colored notes you pin, a tile-free map for unlimited zoom and 10-second MP4 export. Elite.
• You can rate a run's feel: Easy, Moderate, Hard or Max. Kinoku notes when the numbers disagree with your rating, without overruling you.
• Live cadence in a chip on every run and a stat card after, with a "try a quicker cadence" note on slow ones.
• Run audio coaching adds cadence and hill cues and a one-time heat advisory, each with its own switch.
• Grade-Adjusted Pace and Normalized Graded Pace give your hilly pace as flat-ground effort. Pace durability shows how well you held it.
• Stride length (average, in meters) and stride consistency through the run.
• Running power now counts headwind and tailwind; elevation blends in the barometer on phones that have one.
• Opt-in run heart rate from Health Connect: average, peak, zones, a refined VO2max and heart-rate drift between halves of long runs. Pro.
• Running form from your phone's motion sensors: vertical bounce, ground contact time, gait symmetry, form score. On-device; raw samples never saved. Pro.
• Run weather, off by default: temperature, wind, conditions and optional air quality. It limits how often it fetches data. Heat-stress pace estimate is Pro.
• Shoe mileage per pair with a replacement target and a Coach tip at 80% and 100%. The "Worn shoe" row on the run summary reassigns a run, and both shoes update.
• Training Load and Race Predictions: 90 days of the Banister fitness-fatigue model, plus VDOT and Riegel race times with confidence bands. Elite.
• Tomorrow's Focus on Coach: a daily suggestion from your fitness and fatigue balance, reason included. Elite.
• Coach suggests a matching interval template on fresh days; intervals get a spoken 5-4-3-2-1 and pace-band cues.
• Watch-synced and imported runs now get the "New best 1 km" personal record (PR) moment on the post-workout sheet.

Coach and analytics

• Coach now leads with the Form Curve: 8 weeks of fitness and fatigue, annotated, with a state pill and explainer. Chart free; forecast tails and sleep overlay Pro; AI read Elite.
• Sleep, stress, soreness, joint pain and heart rate variability (HRV) now show as Form Curve chips, read against your baseline and apart from the score. Elite.
• After 14 days of training with no wellness logs, one card explains those chips and links to Metrics.
• Form band tracking: nightly fitness (CTL), fatigue (ATL) and form (TSB) from gym, run and brisk-step load. Elite.
• Forecasts 1 to 3 days out: overreach risk, rest debt, cycle-phase changes. Pro; the overreach forecast is Elite.
• One synthesis card replaces three when several signals agree. Elite.
• Strength standards: DOTS, IPF GL, Wilks, FFMI, a percentile chip and opposing-muscle ratios like hamstring to quad and push to pull. Elite.
• Plateau flags for lifts stalled 4 to 6 weeks, with swaps; your e1RM (estimated one-rep max) slope and days to the next milestone; an alert when top-set RPE (effort) climbs at a flat weight. Elite.
• Frequency and balance now count lifts, runs and step-goal days as one number per muscle. Runners no longer see an under-trained posterior chain. Elite.
• Cycle analytics tab: volume, RPE and PR rate by phase, plus how much each exercise is affected. Pro and Elite.
• Every Coach card now has evidence chips and a why-it-surfaced sheet, all worked out on your phone. Pro and Elite add a "Why?" panel: inputs, confidence, source engine.
• Hide or snooze Coach tips by type, exercise, activity or all at once, with a Settings section and restore screen. Cycle-tip mutes stay in the private cycle database.
• Optional biological sex and body fat on your profile, for DOTS and FFMI. Both default to unspecified and are stored on the device.

Body, muscle, and bodyweight

• Bodyweight moves now count real load: pull-ups, push-ups and dips use research-backed coefficients. Each set keeps its own value; future updates never rewrite it.
• Total Load chart per session: (bodyweight × coefficient + added weight) × reps, with an Absolute/Relative toggle, formula tooltip and dashed bodyweight overlay.
• Every bodyweight number now shows its source and age, turning to warning tones past 14 and 60 days.
• Long-press a past set to enter that day's bodyweight. A stored one shows where it came from.
• A Profile switch turns off bodyweight recording; past sets keep theirs.
• Bodyweight nudges: a Today card after 60 days, and after 2 weeks a per-session confirm that fixes the set you just logged.
• Coefficient table grown from 73 to 488 entries, now covering every bodyweight exercise, with no silent 0.70 default.
• Gravity Defier achievement: Bronze, Silver and Gold at 1.0×, 1.5× and 2.0× bodyweight. Its share preset stays honest about a stale weight.
• Post-workout muscle impact: a body silhouette coloured by effort, naming the top three contributors.
• Muscle Map info sheets per mode (formula, worked example, edge cases) and an inline tooltip on every metric.

Steps

• The step count now ticks up live, with a cadence zone readout and milestone haptics. Four battery profiles: Precision, Balanced, Efficient, Minimal.
• Likely car, cycling or train stretches now show as a card to remove or keep.
• Off-body walks and runs get steps estimated from cadence, only for minutes with no sensor data.
• Step history now survives a reinstall: a one-tap Restore card finds your past Kinoku records in Health Connect, up to a year back. CSV and ZIP backups restore samples, rollups and goal history.
• Step analytics: lifetime stats, monthly and weekly trends, a consistency heatmap. Pro.
• Your daily step goal now syncs to the watch; its Step tile shows progress and a checkmark when hit.

Calendar

• One Calendar in the bottom nav for planning: source badges, drag to move, a "Move to date" menu for screen readers. Free: 10 plans up to 14 days ahead; unlimited is Pro.
• Recurring schedules: weekly, custom days or every N weeks, until a date or with no end. Pro.
• Editing one date of a series asks: this occurrence, this and following, or the whole series.
• Pair a logged workout with one of that day's plans by long-pressing it.
• AI suggestions show as dashed ghost cards with a one-tap "Plan this". Kinoku never adds one on its own.
• An "Off plan" chip marks a program day you edit away, and Revert to program takes you back.
• Footer: "This week: N/7 planned · M/N logged". Busy days get a "+N" pill; tap a day to plan a routine or copy its plans; an info sheet explains every dot.

Watch

• Watch GPS runs now reach the phone with full splits, pace, elevation, heart rate and route, and can recover from a mid-run crash.
• The watch picker now leads with your 8 most-used exercises, with voice, keyboard or scribble search.
• Two watch-face complications, Today's Steps and Last Run, open the watch app on tap.

Subscription and data

• Subscription Dashboard: plan status (eleven states), every billing action, the full rewards stack, a 30-day activity log and an opt-in renewal reminder.
• Billing banners now explain a payment retry, a pending downgrade, status over 5 days old, a retry after a refund and ended promo access.
• Search Kinoku finds settings, screens, themes, FAQs, exercises, routines and records, with inline actions and undo.
• Now imports Strava (activities.csv and every GPX track), alongside FitNotes, Strong, Hevy, Jefit, RepCount, Liftin and Fitbod.
• Progress Gallery: take, choose or import up to 20 photos; a camera that ghosts your last shot; one-tap compares like "Same pose, biggest gap"; notes, an editable date and body weight per photo.
• Deleted workouts and progress photos now wait 30 days in one Trash, restorable, with undo on workouts. Trashed workouts leave every stat and chart until restored.
• Optional Progress Gallery biometric lock, off by default, that also hides photos on every other screen.
• Backups show a progress ring. Older ones that can't be verified ask first; damaged files get specific errors.

Modes, scenes, and programs

• Longevity Mode renames Pulse states, frames VO₂max by age and adds a Longevity Foundations program (Pro). On by default at 40+ once your date of birth is set.
• Flow, an eighth scene: 18 balance, mobility and core moves. Its 4-week Foundations program is Pro.
• Rest days now work app-wide: steps still record, but the day is exempt from your step streak and adaptive goal, and Pulse leans on wellness. Scheduling rest ahead is Pro; auto-detection is Elite.
• Periodization overhaul: RIR autoregulation (Elite), MEV/MAV/MRV volume landmarks (Pro), 5/3/1, GZCLP and nSuns (Pro), readiness adaptation from HRV and sleep (Elite).
• Smart fatigue swap on Today: a fresher routine when tomorrow's hits recovering muscles, with a 6-second undo. Silent inside a program. Elite.
• Cycle-aware training, opt-in: phase indicator, 13 symptoms, predictions, calendar marks, phase-fit coach notes. Base free; predictions and full symptom list Pro; correlations Elite.
• Fertility and pregnancy tracking: tactile symptoms, a multi-month calendar, BBT with thermal-shift detection, mucus, LH and pregnancy tests, ovulation prediction, TTC mode, pregnancy foundation.
• Opt-in, read-only menstruation import from Health Connect. Kinoku never writes cycle data back. Pro.
• One-tap delete for all cycle data, separate from turning tracking off (which keeps it).
• 39 new achievements across Pulse, Bets, Circuit, Zone Training, Readiness, Periodization, Intervals, bodyweight sets, run records and swim, plus new Recovery, Competition and Archetype categories.
• Seven more achievements: Even Pacer and Negative Splitter (long runs), Steady Like a Tree (Flow), Decade Strong (Longevity Mode streaks at 40+) and three Pro endurance badges.
• Groundwork for camera velocity-based training (VBT): math, data model, CSV export. Not in the app yet. Elite.

Small things

• Voice commands for timed sets ("sixty seconds", "add ten seconds", "stop", "reset") and a spoken final 3-2-1.
• Interval Editor: custom templates from a visual step list, distance or time targets, one-tap repeat blocks.
• Race predictions get a high, medium or low confidence badge per distance; outliers are filtered out and the count is shown. Pro.
• Quick Share Pager for full-size card previews, plus three stickers: Magazine, Neon Sign, Trading Card.
• All four routine pickers now show last done, times finished and estimated duration, plus a "Next Up" sort.
• Calendar days now show named daily metrics, a scene badge per workout and a muscle-category summary.
• Cycle data in the CSV export; cycle log, symptoms and correlation snapshots in the ZIP backup.
• Starter packs can now include warmups and supersets.
• New Social Bets can leave out walks, runs, cycling, swimming or mistracking. Pro.

Changed

• Today now leads with one recommendation card, not a status row. Pro adds the body figure and reasoning; Elite a readiness override.
• Today adapts: Beginner layout under ten workouts, then Power (override in Settings). Both lead with the decision: state pill, coach notes in a chip, time-aware copy, weekly ribbon a tap below.
• All four Pulse rings are free (Effort, Consistency, Recovery, Wellness), and so is the score-history sparkline that used to be locked.
• Auto-start rest timer: free, opt-in and off by default. Per-exercise rest memory stays Pro.
• Stats took the fifth tab slot; Score is a tap away from Today and the side panel, and you can add it back. The default bar shows Coach in place of Challenges; your customized bar is kept.
• Training Load moved from the Running hub to the top of Analytics → Recovery and the side panel.
• Coach's Training Form card: one Form line over Fresh, OK and Tired bands, detail a tap away.
• Runs and workouts now share from one screen, ready on open, with Save, Copy and Share pinned at the bottom.
• Coach tips no longer pop up mid-workout; read, rate or hide them on the Coach screen.
• Tracked walks now count toward daily steps, with past days recalculated once on first launch.
• Run voice cues are now opt-in; the heat-stress advisory and haptic cues stay on.
• Redesigned Rotation Group editor: a live "how often will this fire?" preview and an info sheet per section.
• Archived exercises no longer appear in the muscle filter; their history still counts on the Muscle Map.
• Your daily step goal can now be typed in and set as low as 500.
• Data & Storage now labels Backup "Restore on another device. Full, lossless." and Export "For importing into other fitness apps. Photos not included."
• Timed sets count down from a typed target and save at zero; with no target, they count up.
• Under the analytics toggle, faint text is now a "Start from scratch" button.
• A first-ever set now shows as "First exercise", no longer "New PR".
• Social Bets is taking a short break and is off for launch. Your bet data is untouched, and you can still leave any bet from Settings.
• Long-press any bottom tab for Rearrange tabs and Hide bottom bar; a chevron pill brings a hidden bar back.

Improved

• The upgrade screen now leads with the plans and a one-tap "keep using Free".
• Any finished workout or run now has a Share button in its top bar.
• Timing a move now takes one tap: Stopwatch and Timer on the time line, one Start button.
• Standalone runs now show on the calendar as a run pill, not a plain dot.
• Starting a routine is faster, and Routines and Today load quicker.
• Last-time numbers now come from your last matching session, labelled by day. Ghost values now match your plan.
• Trash now waits: items are purged only once past 30 days and after you next open the app.
• Post-workout summary redesign: big stat cards count up volume, sets and time, a lighter day never gets a punishing red, and routine sync review and scene insights now sit inline.
• Routines now show a big one-tap Start pill, the moves inside and a clearer stat line.
• Cleaner set rows: RPE and RIR share one chip, and the last-time hint shows the change, like ↑5 kg.
• The menu now opens from every hub tab, plus Metrics, Challenges and screens that had only a back arrow. Hubs opened from a link keep their back arrow.
• Your routine can now update itself. With automatic updates on: safe changes only, skipped exercises and weight drops left alone. Full Auto: follows your last workout, never removes anything.
• Pulse starts at an honest baseline and waits until it knows you; rings with no data stay blank.
• Run distance now has its own column on the weekly card.
• Timed and distance moves now earn records: a longer hold, a farther run, a longer ride.
• The active superset slot expands to show the full exercise name; you no longer glance at the top bar.
• Recovery tab load pill: Light, Moderate, Heavy or Extreme against your own 28-day median.
• Manage Metrics search: in the top bar, typo-tolerant, and an empty result offers a custom metric.
• Bodyweight backfill now covers a set, the workout, 30 or 90 days, or the exercise's full history.
• The watch now tells a walk from a run or a tracking issue and relabels its complication and summary. Today mirrors it and asks when unsure.
• Drawers, sheets and dense text cards are now opaque and theme-tinted; the screen behind no longer bleeds through.
• The weekly steps chart now reads against your goal: bars warm grey to green, a dashed goal line, each bar's gap to it.
• Calendar cycle phases now show a header row, a phase strip for the selected day, and an accent that tracks confidence and fades on stale projections.
• The PulseOrb pop-out, Wellness ring and metric editor all open the Body Metrics chart, whose ribbon now centers the chip you tap instead of clipping it.
• Active intervals focus the current step with a bigger progress ring, and now launch at once.
• Five finish-session prompts: new PR, streak milestone, longest or heaviest session, or a plain wrap-up.
• Tomorrow's Focus now matches the other Coach cards in size and type; its info popup respects Longevity Mode.
• Today's Plan card has Start and Skip on the card; rest and cross-train days no longer show a dead button.
• TalkBack now reads the Healthspan Goals card as one announcement, not fragments.
• The Pulse "Heart fitness" card fits every language, with a short band label and the full text below.
• Muscle Map frequency colors follow the active theme, with a 7, 30 or 90-day or all-time lookback.
• CSV import matches more: "RDL", "OHP" and "BB Row" find the right lift; European commas, semicolons and slash sets import. Undo now rolls back only that import's achievements.
• Share cards, stickers and overlays now come from one pipeline.

Fixed

• Personal records now agree app-wide: saved records, set trophies and the "Personal Best" line. The live new-record tag no longer flashes for a set that was not one.
• Record trophies stay put after you beat them later, and voice or routine-completed workouts get theirs at once. The post-workout banner never claims someone else's PR.
• A run with no GPS no longer strands you on a blank screen: it goes to Trash with a clear message, and the summary names which of four states you're in.
• Sets from an unsynced watch no longer disappear; a "Tap to identify" pill marks anything unmatched.
• The Muscle Map and Volume Landmarks no longer count runs as leg-strength work; the last 26 weeks recalculate on first launch.
• Finished sets no longer show an RPE they never saved. The suggestion shows only on unfinished sets, and "Mark Incomplete" stops writing it to history.
• Set types now stick to routines: a Max, Warmup or Drop set stays that way however you start one. Post-workout review and Full Auto no longer flatten set types to Working; undo restores them.
• Mid-workout supersets now sync to the routine as one change, never leaving a broken one-exercise superset.
• Warmups added mid-workout now land at the routine's start; review shows where new sets go before Apply.
• Max Effort sets no longer appear twice in routine review or add a duplicate routine row.
• Workouts started from the Calendar now begin when you tap Start, not at midnight of the planned date.
• Calendar plans: starting one no longer marks it done, skipping removes it with undo, stale "done" dots clear.
• Moving a routine to another rotation group no longer reopens your weekly cap.
• Heavy routines are no longer sorted as Accessory; roles follow what the routine holds. Your own role edits now beat a program's in Calendar chips and weekly cadence.
• The dashed "past workout" frame no longer flashes mid-workout; it shows only on old sessions.
• Editing an old workout no longer leaves a stuck "tap to add more" notification.
• Finishing a workout with zero sets now does nothing: no post-workout sheet, no muscle-imbalance insight.
• Reopening a finished workout no longer brings up the "Finish session?" prompt.
• The active-session message now reads "Finish your active workout to start this one", translated, not the English-only "Gym Workout Active".
• A week of push-ups and pull-ups no longer shows 0 kg of volume on the weekly card.
• Recovery colors fit every theme and read in the right order, freshest muscles now brightest.
• The muscle-targeting picker no longer drops taps; the figure responds to taps, and pinch-to-zoom works.
• The ambient backdrop gradient now fills the whole screen, not just the system bars.
• Text on the run share card no longer overlaps the logo.
• Running screen: the Form chip no longer calls normal training "Fatigued", race predictions show real times, and the route preview always draws.
• Weather conditions now appear in your language, with °F and mph for imperial users.
• Watch runs now add mileage to your default shoe, without overwriting shoes you chose on existing runs. Shoe reminders show miles to imperial users, where the Coach tip said km.
• Follow-along routines now build from the chapters YouTube generates too, not only hand-typed ones.
• The Steps hero no longer flashes impossible cadences, with a cap of 250 steps a minute.
• Bumpy car rides are no longer labelled "cycling". Mixed stretches read "Likely vehicle motion", and milestone buzzes stay quiet while you seem to be in a car.
• The "Personal best: 16 steps" chip no longer shows in week one. It now needs 7 days of history and a 500-step day, and shows its date.
• Photos now survive restoring a pre-rebrand backup, with no broken images.
• Imports read European decimals (22,5 no longer becomes 225) and local date formats. FitNotes weights take their unit from the column header, not assumed kg.
• Exercise matching now weighs equipment, so "DB Bench Press" finds the dumbbell variant. Liftin' CSV exports now import instead of failing as an "unknown file format".
• After a restore, the next launch rechecks achievements, rebuilds records, recalculates Pulse and catches a restore that crashed midway.
• Backups no longer include vehicle-motion diagnostic rows.

Security

• Cycle and pregnancy data now lives in its own database and no longer goes into Google Auto Backup. Existing users move over on first launch.
• Gallery lock on: photos hide from other screens too, including the Calendar timeline, daily photo strip and Trash thumbnails, until you get past the lock.
• Your Data Rights: one tap leaves every Social Bet on our servers, with links to the Privacy Policy and privacy@kinoku.app. The count stays accurate when some bets fail to leave.
• Policy v3 adds reproductive-health protections with a plain-language summary and a full commitment section, and declares a read-only menstruation permission.
• Pasted guided-routine links are now checked more carefully for YouTube or Vimeo, with a download limit.
• YouTube chapter detection, a second network call, is now opt-in and off by default under Settings → Privacy & Data. Policy v5 asks for consent again.
• CSV export now guards against formula injection: cells starting with =, +, -, @, a tab or a carriage return get a prefix.
• Restoring now requires a SHA-256 checksum; older backups without one ask "Restore anyway?".
• Minimum age is now 16+ on the website, in the in-app policy and in the Terms of Service.
• Kinoku logs one anonymous event when Google refunds a purchase on its own, so support volume can be matched against it.
