Latest updates and improvements to RotaFlow

Version

1.6

Released

April 2026

RotaFlow 1.6 introduces Fatigue Guard, a deterministic on-device fatigue risk layer, plus full Brazilian Portuguese localization.

  • Fatigue Guard is a deterministic on-device fatigue risk layer built from existing Sleep Insights trends and deficit signals, swap-aware upcoming rota load, and recovery context around consecutive work and night-heavy stretches.
  • New dashboard Fatigue Guard card surfaces quiet reassurance when the upcoming window is on track, the next meaningful elevated-risk day with severity, score, and reason, and one-tap actions to review swap options or open Shift Health.
  • Optional fatigue score badges in Upcoming rows (default ON) with low-noise visual treatment and density-aware suppression.
  • New fatigue detail sheet with plain-language reasons, affected upcoming days, and contextual actions.
  • New Fatigue alert notification category using the existing notification time model (Free coarse slots, Pro 15-minute precision), preserving 60-day horizon and 60-pending cap discipline. Alerts fire on block start and in-block severity escalation only; taps route into Fatigue Guard detail for the exact day.
  • Smart swap flow context seeding from fatigue actions: fatigue-driven swap entry pre-fills the flagged day, and smart suggestions are generated around the fatigue day reference.
  • Full pt-BR localization resources added for the main app (Localizable.strings, InfoPlist.strings), iOS widgets, watch app, and watch complications.
Version

1.5

Released

April 2026

RotaFlow 1.5 adds Apple Intelligence-powered swap suggestions, Siri-driven schedule editing, and new Apple Intelligence settings controls.

  • Smart Swap Suggestions now surface 2-3 optimal dates in the shift swap editor with a swipeable carousel, shimmer loading state, and three reasoning badges: Optimal Sleep, Clear Block, and Near Special Day.
  • The new Update Schedule App Shortcut brings Siri and Shortcuts support with natural-language input for special days, shift swaps, relative dates, weekdays, absolute dates, ordinal dates, and date ranges.
  • A confirmation bottom sheet previews the parsed intent with confidence, then lets you save or cancel before creating the change.
  • Apple Intelligence settings now control all AI-powered features from one place, and the toggle defaults on first launch when the device supports it.
  • The natural-language parser methods are now marked nonisolated for Swift 6 compatibility with -default-isolation=MainActor.
  • IntelligenceManager now reads availability directly from UserDefaults, and first-launch persistence keeps the toggle state consistent across app launches.
  • Full localization for the new Apple Intelligence strings is now available in all supported languages.
Version

1.3

Released

April 2026

RotaFlow 1.3 improves in-app review flow quality, App Intents export reliability, and overtime performance.

  • In-app review prompts now run only from a calm dashboard state, never directly from button taps.
  • Automatic review eligibility now uses rota age, distinct daily opens, and high-value success events.
  • A 90-day cooldown is now enforced after review attempts, including explicit manual rating intent.
  • Added a new Settings > Help action: Rate RotaFlow, linked to the App Store review page.
  • Hardened App Shortcuts metadata declarations for more stable App Intents export in app and watch targets.
  • Fixed App Intents metadata parsing issues and restored required imports that affected review-manager and dashboard release builds.
  • Reduced overtime drawer render churn by removing repeated formatter creation and redundant sorting work.
  • Improved overtime history responsiveness with value-style formatting APIs and simpler month/currency aggregation.
Version

1.2

Released

March 2026

RotaFlow 1.2 adds Siri shortcuts, faster time-off lookup, quicker overtime logging, and a more responsive dashboard.

  • Siri and Shortcuts support is now available through App Intents for faster, Apple-native access to your schedule.
  • New Get Next Time Off shortcut can find your next day off or next weekend off.
  • New Log Overtime shortcut lets you add today’s overtime by voice.
  • App Shortcuts now register automatically so supported phrases appear in Siri and Shortcuts without manual setup.
  • Time-off lookup now respects rota off days, leave-style special days, and shift swaps when finding your next break.
  • Overtime voice logging now uses your existing default overtime rate and currency settings and prevents duplicate entries for the same day.
  • Dashboard summaries now load faster by reusing cached snapshot data instead of recalculating key values during updates.
  • Calendar day metadata is now resolved only for visible months, improving dashboard responsiveness.
  • Widget and watch refreshes are now more efficient, reducing redundant snapshot and timeline updates.
  • Full Italian localization is now available across the app.
Version

  • Connect Apple Health sleep data with a clear, contextual permission flow.
  • See a 28-day Sleep vs Shift view to understand how your rotation affects recovery.
  • Track key sleep metrics like last night and 7-day average at a glance.
  • Pro users now get advanced analytics, including Off-day vs After-night comparison and deficit warnings.
  • Sleep summary is now synced to Apple Watch, including a new Pro Sleep complication.
  • Added full Japanese language support across the app, Apple Watch app, and widgets.
