What is the Evening Page?

It's the daily log, rebuilt as something you write rather than something you fill in. Instead of tapping through rows of chips, you get a ruled page and your own words — flow, mood, symptoms and a note, in one calm place, with your own voice kept alongside it if you want it. Everything you could log before, you can still log; it just doesn't feel like a form any more. It's still written and stored only on your phone.

Do I have to write sentences now? I liked tapping.

No. Tapping still works exactly as it did — the chips, the flow scale, the symptoms are all there. The page just gives you somewhere to put the thing a chip can't hold, on the days you want to. Plenty of days are a single tap and done.

What does 'Dew tells you when a season turns' mean?

Your Seasons arrived in 1.1.3 as a way to feel where you are in your cycle. In 1.1.4 Dew notices the moment one season becomes the next and tells you once, gently — three of the four turns happen in the quiet middle of a cycle, the stretch nothing used to mark. Each season now also closes with a short letter written from your own logs. And Dew has something true to say from your first cycle rather than making you wait for three.

Can I put my garden on my Home Screen?

Yes — that's new in 1.1.4. Your garden grows one hand-drawn bloom for every cycle you've kept, and it can now live on your Home Screen as a widget. Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap the plus, and search for Dew. Like everything else, it's drawn from data that never leaves your device.

What happens if my cycle stops, or I need to pause?

1.1.4 handles it with more grace. If you pause tracking — for a pregnancy, a loss, a treatment, or simply because you need to stop for a while — Dew stops predicting and stops asking. And if you come back after a long gap, there's no wall of missed days waiting to be filled in. You pick up where you are, not where you left off.

Did anything change about my privacy?

No. The promise is exactly what it has always been: no account, no ads, no Dew server. Your cycle lives on your phone and in your own private iCloud, and nothing you write — including everything on the Evening Page and any voice note — ever leaves it. Voice notes in particular are saved on your iPhone only: never uploaded, never transcribed by us, never shared.

What's new in Dew 1.1.4 — a page to write on

Dew has always asked you to tap. In 1.1.4 it hands you a page instead — somewhere to put the day in your own words, and your own voice if you want it. Plus a nudge when a season turns, your garden on the Home Screen, and more grace for the months that don't go to plan.

Dew 1.1.4 is here. Most of this release is one idea: a diary should feel like a diary. The rest is Dew learning when to speak — and, just as importantly, when to leave you alone.

The Evening Page — a page, not a form

Logging used to be a row of chips. Tap the flow, tap a mood, tap a symptom, done. It was fast, and it was fine, and it never once felt like writing something down.

So the daily log is now the Evening Page: ruled paper, your handwriting, and room for the sentence a chip can’t hold. Heavy, and tired by four. Didn’t say much to anyone today. The things that actually make a month legible when you look back at it.

heavy, and tired by four. the heat pad again — it helped last time.

didn’t say much to anyone today. that’s alright.

Heat eased your cramps by the next morning three times before. From your own days — never advice.

Everything you could log before, you still can — the chips haven’t gone anywhere, and plenty of evenings are still a single tap. And if writing isn’t it either, you can just say it: a voice note stays on your iPhone, never uploaded, never transcribed by us.

When you save, Dew hands something back — quietly. If heat eased your cramps the last three times you tried it, it says so, from your own days. Never advice, never a nudge to feel something you haven’t mentioned.

Dew tells you when a season turns

Your Seasons arrived in 1.1.3 as a way to feel where you are rather than decode a chart. In 1.1.4 Dew notices the moment one season becomes the next and tells you once — gently, and only once.

It matters more than it sounds. Three of the four turns happen in the quiet middle of a cycle, the stretch that nothing used to mark: the days you feel different for no reason you can point at. Each season now also closes with a short letter written from your own logs. And the old wait is gone — Dew has something true to say from your first cycle, not your third.

Your autumn began today.

Winding inward before your next winter. Rest is allowed.

Three of the four turns happen in the quiet middle of your cycle — the stretch nothing used to mark.

Your garden, on your Home Screen

Your garden grows one hand-drawn bloom for every cycle you’ve kept. In 1.1.4 it can live on your Home Screen too — a small, slow thing that changes as you do, without asking you to open anything or optimise anything.

For the months that don’t go to plan

Not every cycle is a cycle. This release tries to be kinder about it.

You can pause — for a pregnancy, a loss, a treatment, or simply because you need to stop for a while — and Dew stops predicting and stops asking. If you come back after a long gap, there’s no wall of empty days demanding to be filled in: you pick up where you are, not where you left off. And in the Meadow, when something you wrote reaches a stranger who needed it, Dew tells you. One drop — never a number, never a score.

Still yours alone

None of this changes the promise underneath. There is no account, no ads, and no Dew server. Your cycle lives on your phone and in your own private iCloud, and everything new here — every word on the Evening Page, every voice note, every season and every bloom — is drawn from data that never leaves your device. By design.

New to Dew, or curious how the prediction itself works? We wrote the honest version here. Dew is free on the App Store below.

And if there’s something you wish Dew did — or something that’s not quite right — we genuinely want to hear it. Since we don’t track you, your words are the only way we learn. Tell us what you think. It’s two minutes and completely anonymous.
