3.0.1
2022-11-17
Lotus Bud Mindfulness Bell now requires iOS 16 and watchOS 9
3.0.1 is a minor update with bug fixes
Lotus Bud Mindfulness Bell has been completely redesigned for version 3. I’ve updated the look at feel, refined the fonts, animations and made it more useable for everyone. While the app functionality is the same, the entire thing has been modernized using the latest technologies. What this means for you is the app looks cleaner, more consistent and will be easier for me to maintain and keep delivering updates for years to come.
Plus there are new and updated features from the 3.0.0 release:
* Home screen, lock screen widgets, give you the current status of the mindfulness bell. It shows when snoozed, in a quiet hour or on and off.
* Watch complication, see the status at a glance
* Accessibility improvements
* Use Siri to control the mindfulness bell
* Run Shortcuts to control the bell
* Easily select weekends weekdays, or every day when setting up Quiet Hours
Lotus Bud Mindfulness Bell is over 11 years old! It appeared as a feature in my other app Lotus Bud Meditation Timer in 2011. In 2014 I split it out into its own app. I've updated the look and added new features, but the core of the app has been the same for a long time. This summer on a whim, I started rewriting the UI and am now ready to release.
Thank you for using Lotus Bud all these years! I'm looking forward to bringing you updates for another decade to come!
