Hebrew Date Tracker version history and release notes

Version 2 release

Redesign + shared syncMay 2026

A ground-up redesign across iOS, Android, and a brand-new web app. Groups now sync automatically, members can propose changes, and anyone can view a shared calendar in their browser.

Upcoming events list with countdowns to the next Hebrew dates — Upcoming (Android)

Month calendar grid with events and yahrzeits — Calendar (Android)

Groups list with shared groups and join-with-code — Groups (Android)

Person detail showing a person's events and past occurrences — People (iOS)

Group detail with review, members, alerts, and share actions — Group detail (iOS)

–Shared groups with automatic sync — one curator edits, every member's app converges by version, with no accounts or sign-in
–Anonymous short share codes drawn from an unambiguous alphabet (no 0/1/I/L/O), safe to read aloud or type in any case
–Propose-a-change workflow — members suggest add/edit/remove and the curator approves, with one-step approve-with-edits
–Roles: curator, editor, and member, with invite codes and ownership transfer
–Brand-new web app at hdt.carefuldream.com — open a shared link in any browser to view a group read-only, no install required
–Complete visual redesign with a warmer aesthetic and a four-tab layout: Upcoming, Calendar, People, and Groups
–People view groups every event by person, including two-person events (weddings/anniversaries) shown under both people
–Calendar view with a month grid and a by-month column layout, showing Hebrew and Gregorian dates together
–Home- and lock-screen widgets on both iOS and Android, with dark-mode support and live refresh
–Five event types — birthday, yahrzeit, wedding, holiday, and other — with dual-mode Hebrew/English date entry and an 'after sundown' option for yahrzeits
–Local notifications with device defaults, per-group overrides, morning and erev-of timing, and quiet hours — never server-driven
–New indigo 'ה' app icon
–Existing v1 data is preserved on upgrade — no loss of your groups or events
