What's New
Every release, from the first countdown to today.
v2.9.0
"Clearing"
Current
A simplification pass, plus a way to notice updates without checking manually.
- Personalized calculation now happens entirely during setup, one clear place to answer your health and lifestyle questions instead of two
- Removed the separate Life Factors page
- If you'd recently used it, some answers may not have saved, re-run setup from Quick Settings to recalculate
- A small dot now marks "What's New" in the menu after an update, and clears once you open it
v2.7.1
"Steadfast"
A small but noticeable fix: the countdown no longer jitters.
- Fixed the countdown visibly shifting position every few seconds, caused by hours/minutes/seconds not being zero-padded
v2.7.0
"Afterglow"
Smaller polish across the board, plus a more graceful goodbye if you ever uninstall.
- Uninstalling now offers a quick, optional feedback survey instead of just disappearing
- Fixed new-tab countdown text overflowing on narrow windows
- Session stats added to the About modal
- "What's New" now opens this real changelog instead of a separate in-app copy
v2.5.0
"Ember"
An accuracy and security pass — the calculator now scores exactly what the form asks, and every page is a little harder to break.
- Fixed several Life Factors questions that weren't affecting your calculated lifespan
- Fixed a crash when selecting "Other" for gender
- More accurate scoring for former smokers vs. current smokers
- More precise countdown timing
- Tightened security and privacy protections throughout
