What shipped, and when

1. 0.2.0

   Released21 August 2026

   Roosta is out on the App Store and Google Play, with an eighteenth mission.

   • Added

     Dance. Prop the phone up and keep moving in front of the front camera for a set number of seconds. It measures movement rather than choreography, so there is no wrong way to do it, and like the rep missions it reads pose on-device.

   • Added

     Public listings on the App Store and Google Play.

   • Changed

     Squats and Push-ups are documented accurately on the website for the first time: both count reps from on-device pose detection through the propped-up front camera, not from the phone in your hand.

2. 0.1.0

   Internal29 July 2026

   Camera missions moved fully on-device, and the alarm scheduler rewritten.

   • Changed

     Alarm scheduling moved out of the app process and onto the platform alarm service. The previous version kept the schedule in-app, which Android battery optimisation suspended, so alarms did not fire on some devices after a few idle days.

   • Added

     Six camera missions (Object Hunt, Pet Hunt, Sky Photo, Nature Hunt, Touch Grass and Scan a code), all running recognition on-device with no frame written to storage.

   • Added

     Configurable escape-hatch delay on every mission, plus a hard timeout that cannot be disabled.

   • Changed

     Streaks are now recomputed from wake history on read rather than stored as a counter, so they cannot drift out of sync after a crash, timezone change or restore.

   • Fixed

     The adaptive launcher icon was sitting on a generic orange rather than the brand sunrise value, having drifted from the design tokens.

3. 0.0.x

   Prototype1 June 2026

   Core alarm loop, the first cognitive and physical missions, and the mission plugin registry.

   • Added

     The wake session: alarm → mission → verify → stop → progress, with a failed mission returning to ringing rather than silence.

   • Added

     Math, Sequence, Match pairs, Typing, Shake, Steps, Squats and Push-ups missions.

   • Added

     The challenge plugin registry, so adding a mission touches exactly one existing file.

   • Added

     21 bundled alarm sounds, deliberately shipped with the app rather than streamed so they work offline.

Version numbers below 1.0 are pre-release, and predate the store listings. This page records development history so that the record exists from the start rather than being reconstructed later.
