Changelog
What changed, in plain words.
v2.8 · a gentler finish
August 2026 · Early Access
Ending a session now always lands. Tapping to finish during the fade could leave Sylph sitting on the Ending screen, and it no longer does. The Lantern theme now takes your chosen orb colour like the other themes, so pick Amber for the warm flame it used to have.
v2.7 · make it yours
August 2026 · Early Access
App colour themes restyle every screen: the classic Sylph look stays free, and Sylph Pro adds Moss, Rose, Gold, Violet and Lagoon. A sixth visual theme, Cove, gives you a still night cove whose waterline rises and falls with your breath. Visual themes now show live previews, tapping a haptic or sound theme plays a short sample, session text can sit left, centre or out of the way in three typefaces, and your look follows you to the TV when you cast.
v2.5 · a small hello first
July 2026
Sylph now opens with a short Zone7 Studios ident on a fresh launch. One tap skips it, and it does not play when you come back mid-session. The launch icon eases into place on the opening splash, and Sylph is up to date with Android 16.
v2.3 · breathe sideways
July 2026
Sylph now rotates. Follow the orb in landscape on a tablet by the bed, a phone on a stand or a foldable half-open, and a session in progress does not skip a breath when you turn the screen. The layout also keeps clear of camera notches either way up.
v2 · breathe on the big screen
July 2026
Sylph Pro can now cast your session to a Google Cast TV, in every theme and colour, with the phase cues, the countdown and the timer. Your phone stays the guide in your hand, and both screens stay in step to the tenth of a second. Finish a session and the TV shows the same gentle tally your phone does.
v1.1 · easier to hold, easier to leave
July 2026
Picking a rhythm now happens in one flow: tap a technique and it opens right there with the session lengths and Begin inside. Ending a session is clearer, with a visible End button, a quick two-second fade and a second tap to finish immediately. The orb now comes in eight free colours, from the original Air blue to Aurora green, Dawn rose and Ember.
v1.0 · the first release
July 2026
Four free breathing techniques (Box, 4-7-8, Coherent, Relax), seven more with Sylph Pro, and a custom pattern builder with six saved slots. Five visual themes, four haptic themes and four audio themes. Sessions run from 1 minute to "until I stop" with Pro, and finish with a gentle five-second fade.
