Hey gang, I hope you're ready for some goodies! ============================ WHAT'S NEW ============================ - Search within lists, Logbook, Planner, Player, or Enjoying, or tap “Search everywhere” to search all of Sofa. - Start tracking movies, shows, books, and games directly from Search, without adding them to a list first. - Items you stop tracking or finish without logging move to the new “No Longer Tracking” section in Enjoying. ============================ CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS ============================ PODCASTS - Mark episodes as Played or Unplayed directly from the episode list, without opening the player. - Select multiple episodes to mark as Played or Unplayed, add to Up Next, or Play Next. LOGBOOK - Top Categories now includes every category and counts only finished items. - The “Checkpoints” filter is now called “Sessions.” - Top lists now account for Sessions, finishes, and replays, with ties sorted by most recently finished. - Sort Top lists by ratings or custom Ingredients, with preferences synced across devices. - Items logged multiple times now appear as a single entry, and custom covers appear in all Top lists. - Stats Recap now includes time spent in Sessions, even when you haven’t finished anything. ENJOYING - Log past sessions for finished Quick Log, Journal, and Counter items without changing their finished status. - Finished items now show a checkmark in the progress ring, even if you didn’t reach your target.

PODCAST PLAYER REDESIGN The podcast player has a fresh new look. It morphs open from the mini player, takes its colors from the episode's artwork, and keeps Up Next, Chapters and Notes right inside. Playback is smarter about what comes next, Voice Boost is improved, and feeds refresh and download overnight while charging. PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS Read along with your podcasts. If a show publishes a transcript, it's right there in the player. If it doesn't, Sofa can make one itself, entirely on your device: tap Generate, or let it quietly transcribe your downloaded episodes overnight while your phone charges. Either way, a live highlight follows along word by word as you listen, so you never lose your place. SESSIONS Ever wonder how long that book really took you, or how many hours you've sunk into a game? Now Sofa can tell you. Each time you log progress, add how long you spent and how far you got, in pages, chapters or whatever fits, and Sofa keeps a running total for every item. If you'd rather not estimate, start a timer when you sit down and stop it when you're done. It stays in view across the app, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so pausing for a snack is one tap. STATS & LOGBOOK Your sessions now show up in Stats and the Logbook. Books, Games, Music and Custom Category Stats get a Sessions section with time spent, totals for each unit and a weekly chart, and Logbook rows show session totals at a glance. ============================ As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback. I'm always happy to hear from you: support@sofahq.com – Shawn
