The widget got a real upgrade, and Premium got clearer
The home-screen widget now shows a week ahead and lets you log today in one tap, still free and still discreet. Separately, the Premium screen now actually lists everything Premium includes — some of it new, most of it already there and simply unexplained until now.
The widget wasn't pulling its weight
Since it shipped, Noralia's home-screen widget did one thing: show a number. Useful, but a fraction of what it could reasonably say without opening the app. So it got rebuilt.
It now shows three things:
- A cycle-position ring around the day count, so you can see roughly where you are in your cycle at a glance, not just read a number.
- A week-ahead strip — seven small coloured days, so the next week is visible without opening the calendar.
- A one-tap log button. Tap it and the app opens straight to logging today, already on the right screen. One tap to open, one to confirm.
None of this changes what the widget is willing to say out loud. It's still discreet by default — a bare day count, no cycle vocabulary, unless you turn that off yourself — and an app lock still forces it silent. Adding detail was never worth adding exposure.
It's also still free. That was true before and it stays true: the widget is the thing you glance at before you ever open the app, and charging for it would mean charging for the front door.
Premium was underselling itself
Separately from the widget, we looked at the Premium screen and realised it was a genuinely inaccurate picture of what buying Premium gets you — not because anything was hidden on purpose, but because a few things had quietly become part of Premium over time without the screen ever being updated to say so.
The Premium screen now groups what you get into three parts:
- Plan ahead — the 12-month cycle forecast and the PDF doctor report.
- Understand your body — sleep, activity and temperature synced from Health, and the patterns Noralia finds in them: stress signals, movement patterns, symptom patterns as both an in-app view and a notification, plus custom symptom categories.
- Noralia remembers you — new framing for a few things that were already there or just landed: Noralia keeping a longer memory of your history so it stops asking the same question twice, cravings picked for you instead of just listed, and a period-care timer that learns your own rhythm instead of using a generic default.
One thing stayed exactly as it was on purpose: Noralia occasionally noticing you might want to pause and suggesting a short breathing exercise is a Premium touch, but the breathing exercise itself has always been free and manual for everyone, and that isn't changing.
It's still a one-time purchase. Not a subscription, and nothing about that changed with this update.
Getting it
Both changes are live in the current version of the app — nothing to configure. The Noralia overview covers the full feature set if you haven't installed it yet.
