Lumi

A quiet record of what has changed.

v1.0 — Build 14 (in development)

New

  • Apple Watch app — A companion for your wrist. A small deck of gentle letters, navigated with the Digital Crown. Solid cream background, NotoSerif typography, Lumi’s voice carried over.
  • Apple Watch complication — A rectangular complication for any watch face that supports them. A single sentence, refreshed throughout the day.
  • Custom-rendered Watch notifications — When a Lumi notification reaches your Watch, it is rendered with our typography and palette instead of the system default.
  • Updated App Store listing copy — Cleaner, more human descriptions across all ten supported languages.

Improved

  • Slightly tightened moderation pipeline — fewer false positives on poetic or metaphorical language.
  • Faster cold-start on iPhone for the receive screen.
  • Localization touch-ups across all ten languages.

Behind the scenes

  • Backend migrated from Node.js 20 to Node.js 22.
  • Push notification payload now carries a category identifier so Watch can render custom content.

v1.0 — Build 13

New

  • Pairing system. Generate a connection code, share it with someone, and exchange anonymous letters just between the two of you.
  • Push notifications, with a daily schedule and per-mood opt-in.
  • Account deactivation. Settings → Account → Deactivate now wipes all of your data and re-creates a fresh anonymous identity.
  • Ten-language localization. English, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese.
  • Ambient audio handling. The launch video now plays through your phone’s .ambient audio session, so it no longer interrupts music or podcasts.

Improved

  • TestFlight crash fixes around the receive deck on first install.
  • More patient handling of slow network on the moderation roundtrip.

v1.0 — Build 12

New

  • Sensitive Days mode. Mark a day as sensitive, and Lumi will keep the day gentle for you.
  • Vault. Save the letters that stay with you.

v1.0 — Build 11

The first build released to TestFlight. Anonymous letter writing and receiving. Mood selector. iOS Widget for the home screen and lock screen.
