Every change and fix in Hamdam 1.3
Hamdam 1.3 turned Discover into the Garden and gave the whole app a new look. Here is everything that changed, area by area.
Garden
- Discover has grown into the Garden.
- Three coaches, Mind, Move and Sleep, turn Today's one line into a plan for the whole day, read from your Health data, your calendar and the weather.
- The breath sessions can be heard as well as seen.
- A breath is recorded to Apple Health as a mindful session.
- A Move block can be sent to your Apple Watch, as a workout with its own name.
- Hamdam tells you truthfully whether a Move block reached your wrist.
- A garden bed for habits: plant one small thing, say when it happens and what you will do on the day it does not, then watch it grow on every day you tend it.
- A riddle waits each day, and offers a hint before the answer, only when you ask for one.
- The picks you already had stay in the Garden.
- The Garden opens more quickly.
A new look
- Hamdam has a new look throughout, built for the latest iOS.
- Today has a clearer order, with new typography for the verse.
- You can choose the sky behind Today in Your Hamdam.
- The sky drifts slowly and carries a soft grain.
- The faal now takes the whole screen.
- Reflections now switches between its three views with the standard iPhone control.
Reading, verses and the faal
- Reading mode opens the whole poem now, for all five poets rather than Hafez alone.
- The Voice of the Elder now reads for all five poets, and sits at the top of reading mode.
- A recitation is included only when it carries the whole couplet.
- The themes under a verse read in Farsi.
- A reflection can no longer sit under the wrong poet's verse.
- A generated reflection no longer names a poet.
- The faal explains itself and no longer asks you to type anything.
Farsi and right to left
- Right to left screens finally lay out right to left, reading mode and the faal couplet included.
- Farsi notifications read right to left, on iPhone and on Apple Watch.
- The Garden's Farsi reads more naturally.
Roots
- Many more moments now open with a few sourced lines, where before they opened empty.
- Photographs that were never loading now appear.
- Each occasion now appears once, even when several states mark it.
Widgets and notifications
- A new Today's plan widget in small and medium, which also works in StandBy.
- The Garden can send its own gentle reminders.
Privacy
- Hamdam no longer keeps any analytics, not even on your own device.
