Release Notes
Your Life Harmony Score, calmer reminders & Plan for tomorrow 🌸
See how your Journal, Care, Family and Home are flowing together on one calm 0–100 score — with no streaks and no guilt.
What's New
- Life Harmony Score — a four-petal dashboard card across Mind, Care, Family and Home (25 points each). Half of every area is permanent foundation, so time off never resets your score. Tap a petal to jump into that area.
- Resting days, honoured — a 7-day activity view, trends over a week to a year, and care distribution across personal habits and groups. No streaks, no warnings.
- Plan for tomorrow — an evening preview (20:00 by default, adjustable in Settings) with a vertical timeline of tomorrow’s care items you can tick off, edit or add to.
- Smarter care reminders — personal tasks with a start time remind you 30 minutes before by default (or at start, 15 min, 1 h, 2 h, 1 day before). Overdue alerts are now off by default.
- Cleaner task screens — tidier add and edit layouts for Care tasks, including multi-day date ranges, plus stability improvements.
Share your home inventory with family & roommates 📦
Stop asking “Where did we put that?” Rivulet now lets you securely share your home inventory with anyone under your roof — cleanly, privately, and in seconds.
What's New
-
10-character single-use invite codes — invite housemates without account lookups, emails, or public links. Generate an encrypted invite code (e.g.
K7QM4-T9XWB) that your partner or flatmate enters under Join Shared Things for instant access. - Room-level granularity — choose whether to share your entire home or select specific spaces (e.g. share the kitchen, living room, and storage, while keeping your bedroom or office private).
- View-only peace of mind — invited members receive structured read-only access. They can search items, browse rooms, and find what they need with zero risk of accidental moves, edits, or deletions.
- Temporary & revocable access — invite codes expire automatically after 48 hours and are single-use. View all members with access anytime and revoke permissions with a single tap.
Care Habits: Turn daily care work into calm routines 🌿
Care work is repetitive, but re-planning it every week shouldn't be. Care Habits give you full control to set recurring routines once, share care work fairly, and eliminate the mental load of home management.
What's New
- Full Care Habits management (CRUD) — create, view, edit, and delete recurring habits directly in Rivulet with complete freedom and no lock-in. Perfect for morning routines, medication, watering plants, or pet care.
- Save a day as a reusable routine — have an ideal school-day rhythm or weekend flow? Save an entire day's schedule as a named routine and apply it to any future date in a single tap.
- Flexible recurrence scheduling — set habits to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Modify or skip a single occurrence for a specific day without altering the rest of the repeating series.
- Shared care work & Care groups — coordinate chore work scheduling by adding groups or for an individual. Perfect as a couples chore tracker, couple chore app, or shared chore list for families and flatmates to divide care work fairly.
Rivulet now speaks German 🇩🇪
Rivulet is now fully available in German. Every screen, every label, every notification — the whole home organiser app in natural, fluent German. Not machine-translated. Not a partial toggle buried in settings. Proper German, throughout.
What's New
- Full German language support — all four modules are now available in German: Carearbeit (shared chore tracker & couple chore app), Hausinventar (AI home inventory), Familie (family tree builder), and Tagebuch (private journal). Navigation tabs, notification settings, forms, and the activity feed are all translated.
- Dates in your language — dates throughout the app now adapt to your device language. German users see "21. Juli" instead of "Jul 21".
- Smarter back navigation in family stories — opening a family story from the home screen now brings you back to the home screen. Opening from the stories list brings you back to the list.
Bug Fixes
- Startup crash fixed — resolved a crash on launch that some users experienced on certain Android devices.
