What's new in Laki
What each version of the app brings: new features, improvements, and fixes. Newest first.
1.9.0
LatestIntroducing Feeding: each pet's meals are logged the same way as doses, with a reminder before their time window ends and no duplicates between the people who care for them. Plus, Today can be filtered by pet and a schedule change can be undone.
- New Feeding. Add each pet's meals with their time window —breakfast, from 7 to 10—, what they eat and how much. Whoever feeds them marks it and the rest of the group sees it instantly; if two people mark the same meal at once, it is recorded only once. Today's meals can also be logged before or after their window.
- New If they didn't eat, it's on record. Mark that they didn't eat and, if you like, why: refused it, ate only part of it, threw up afterwards or nobody was home. If it happens a third time in a week, Laki points it out.
- New A reminder before the window ends. If nobody marked a meal, Laki reminds you an hour before its window ends, and tapping the reminder opens that pet's meals. You turn it on or off for each meal.
- New Today's meals. On Today, a card tells you in one line how the current meal is going —who has eaten and who hasn't yet— and opens the Meals page: the one due now at the top, what comes later and the week's summary. You also add and edit meals from there.
- New Meal updates. What someone else in the group logs shows up in the counter, next to doses. Opening the Meals page shows what happened while you were away.
- New Meals in the calendar. In Agenda, Week and Day, meals appear among the doses, by time and in their own color.
- New Today, one pet at a time. Tap a pet's chip to see only theirs: their doses and meals, in the order of the day. Their profile opens from the pet's card.
- New Undo a schedule change. If you changed a treatment's schedule by mistake, you can undo it from its history: the previous schedule comes back, as if the change had never happened.
- Improved The unlogged doses notice can be folded. Once you've seen it, put it away; it comes back only when another dose goes unlogged.
- Improved Tidier headers. The back arrow and the buttons sit on the title's line, on every screen.
- Fixed Android in landscape. Rotating the phone no longer shows a black strip, and the calendar leaves more room for the week.
1.8.0
The biggest release since launch: schedules every so many days or months, treatments that close themselves once the prescribed number of doses is reached, a tray for the doses nobody marked and the option to take a treatment to your calendar. On top of that, the app now rotates with the phone and works on iPad.
- New Schedules that aren't daily. You can now prescribe a medication every 2, 3, 7 or 15 days, or however many days you need, and also every one or several months. As you pick it, Laki shows you the next dates so you can confirm they are the ones you expected. If a month doesn't have that day, the dose lands on its last day.
- New Treatments by number of doses. If the vet prescribes 10 doses, you enter 10 and the treatment closes itself once that number is reached: it stops scheduling reminders and stops asking for doses that are no longer due.
- New Per-treatment dose window and strict recording. You can decide how long a dose can still be recorded, 15 minutes or an hour, instead of leaving it to what the app decides. And for a critical medication, strict recording closes each dose when its window expires: nobody in the group can correct it afterwards.
- New Unlogged doses. A tray with the doses from the last few days nobody marked, plus a line on the home screen when something is waiting. From there you record what was given and what wasn't, without going treatment by treatment.
- New Take a treatment to your calendar. In the treatment's history, next to sharing the report, you can now export the upcoming doses to your calendar. It works with the date-based schedules: once, every so many days and every so many months.
- New Laki on iPad and lying down. The app no longer opens only upright and only on iPhone: it rotates with the phone, installs on iPad and works in Split View. On a big screen it uses the room instead of stretching: Today gains a column with what has already been given and another with your pets, Settings opens as list and detail, and the calendar shows the week with one row per treatment and the day next to it.
- New Navigation always within reach on iPad, lying down. When the tab bar doesn't fit — iPad lying down and the phone lying down — Today, Calendar and Settings stay one tap away either way: a column on the left on iPad, a row of icons next to the greeting on the phone. iPad's pets column also shows how many doses have already been given this week.
- Improved Activity now reports settings changes. If someone in the group changes a treatment's dose window or turns on strict recording, it is recorded in Activity, just like a schedule change.
- Fixed The Today counter is back on Android. The number on the Today tab, the doses the other caregiver recorded while you weren't looking, only showed up on iPhone. Now it shows on Android too.
- Fixed On-time reminders on Android. Reminders could arrive minutes or hours late because Laki was missing the exact-alarm permission. Now it asks for it, and if Android denies it, a notice on Today takes you straight to turning it on.
- Improved Choosing the frequency takes up less screen. And a button shows a preview of the dose calendar before you save the treatment.
- Fixed Group notices show the time in your own time zone. If someone corrected a dose's time, the notice to the others showed it in Argentina time.
- Fixed Clearer errors. Connection errors are explained in your language, without technical codes.

1.7.2
UnsupportedIf you use Laki in English or Portuguese, everything now speaks your language, including the group alerts and reminders that used to arrive in Spanish.
- Fixed Alerts and reminders in your language. The alerts you get when someone in the group gives a dose, starts or finishes a treatment or adds a pet, and the reminders for each dose, always arrived in Spanish even with the app in English or Portuguese. They now arrive in the language you chose. On iPhone, the date and time pickers follow it too.
- Improved Revised wording. We went over the text in all three languages: the same terms everywhere in the app, and the instructions for sharing the group now name the right button on the welcome screen.

Android only UnsupportedThe app is smaller and starts a little faster. Nothing you see or use has changed.
- Improved Lighter. We changed how the app is packaged for Android: it downloads smaller, takes less room on your phone and usually opens a little sooner. Inside it is the same version as before, with the same screens and the same data.

UnsupportedThe app no longer removes you from your group because of stale data on the phone, and if something signs you out you get back in without reinstalling. A device that no longer has the app is now visible, and you can report a problem from Settings.
- Fixed It no longer removes you from your group by mistake. A stale piece of data on the phone was enough for the app to tell you that you had been removed and sign you out, even though you were still in the group. It now asks the server first: if you are still a member it fixes it silently, and it only tells you when somebody really removed you. With no connection it assumes nothing and waits.
- Fixed And if something does sign you out, you get back in. The app used to sit loading forever, and neither "Retry" nor "Start fresh" helped: the only way out was to uninstall it and lose your group. It now starts over on its own and takes you where you belong.
- New A device that no longer has the app is visible. Settings, Group, Devices now shows since when it has been gone. And if that device was the one managing the group, the role moves on its own to somebody who is still there, so nobody is left unable to invite or manage.
- New Report a problem from Settings. It opens the support form with your app version and phone model already filled in, so you don't have to look them up.
- Improved When an update is required, the app says why. The update screen explains the reason and links to this page, in your language, so you can see what changed.

UnsupportedUp to four caregivers per group, an activity log with everything that happened while you were away, one-off and as-needed doses, and schedule changes that never rewrite the past.
- New Group activity. The bell on Today opens a log of what happened while you were away: who gave each dose, which treatment was added or reactivated, who joined the group. The counter on the bell says how much you have not seen yet and clears when you open it.
- New Up to four caregivers per group. It used to be two. They join with the same invite code as always.
- New One-off and as-needed doses. A medication can be "Once" (a single dose, at the time you choose) or "As needed" (no schedule: you record it with a button when it is due). The frequency is now picked from a list of cards, with each option explained right there.
- New Reactivate a finished treatment. It becomes active again from today, with all its history. If its end date was in the past, it becomes open-ended so you can adjust it.
- New Change the schedule or the dose without touching the past. Like a recurring calendar event: the change applies from that moment on, and the doses already given stay exactly as they were. The app confirms before applying it, and the other caregivers get a notification with the new schedule.
- Improved An overdue dose no longer hides the next one. Once the next dose is closer than the one that was missed, the late one is recorded as not given and Today shows the one that is coming. It is the rule on the leaflet: if it is almost time for the next dose, do not double up. From the history you can fix it with "Gave it late", or note "Did not give it" under your name.
- Improved Notices go away on their own. The "marked doses while you were away" notice fades a few seconds after you have seen it, and opening the app clears its notifications from the tray. Dose reminders stay until the dose is resolved.
- Improved The calendar opens on the day. And the day's hours show a.m. and p.m., so nobody hesitates between nine in the morning and nine at night.
- Improved Undo from the pill above the bar (iPhone). After marking a dose, the next-dose pill offers undo for a few seconds. You can also swipe it away, and it no longer shows on Today, where the card already says it.
- Fixed Two phones can no longer record the same dose twice. If both marked it at the same time, two records were kept. The second one is now rejected.
- Fixed A one-day treatment produced zero doses. Choosing the same start and end date left the treatment invisible. The end date now covers the whole day.
- Fixed Clear messages when joining a group. "The group is full" and "You already belong to another group" are two different messages. If you reinstalled the app and your spot is still taken by your old phone, you can send the steps to free it over WhatsApp to whoever manages the group.
- Improved Joining a group goes through our server. With an invite code nothing about the group can be seen until you are in: not its name, not its members.
- Fixed No screen stays loading forever. If the data does not arrive, the app says so and lets you try again.

UnsupportedThe app is reorganised: Today, Calendar and Settings live at the bottom, there is a calendar with three views to review how the treatment is going, and a counter tells you what the other person marked while you were away.
- New Navigation bar at the bottom. Today, Calendar and Settings are now always one tap away, in the area your thumb reaches. The calendar used to live behind a small button in the top right, next to the language and theme toggles.
- New Calendar with three views. Agenda to go through day by day, Week as a heat map to see at a glance whether the week is going well, and Day with the timeline and the current hour marked. It is the review screen: the one you open when the vet asks whether the treatment was followed.
- New Unseen updates. A counter shows how many doses the other person marked while you were away — on the pet, on the treatment and on the Today tab. A notification warns you at the time and is gone; this is the record of what you still have to see. It clears when you open the treatment.
- New Every pet with its own face. When creating or editing one you can choose its icon and background colour. The avatar used to come from the type, so two dogs were two identical circles.
- New Group medications. The medication catalogue has its own form, with a colour to tell them apart at a glance, and they are now archived rather than deleted: dose history keeps their name. The form also opens as a sheet from the treatment, and the medication is left selected without having to look for it.
- New Adherence over the last 7 days. Each pet's page shows a chart of how many doses were given against how many were scheduled.
- New Snooze a reminder for 15 minutes. Straight from the notification, without opening the app. The only way out of an ill-timed alert used to be ignoring it.
- Improved Marking a dose no longer asks. It applies right away and leaves a few seconds to undo if you tapped the wrong row. A confirmation dialog at three in the morning gets tapped without reading.
- Improved Easier to read. We fixed the contrast of the colours that fell below the recommended minimum, grew the small buttons to the minimum size so you hit them first time, and titles no longer fall apart when you enlarge the system text.
- Improved Our own icons, and haptics that mean something. The emoji acting as interface icons became a drawn set, and the phone now buzzes differently when something is recorded and when something fails — useful in the small hours, with the brightness down.

UnsupportedCreating your group is shorter, your name is saved exactly as you type it, the record you share is far more readable, and the app works better with screen readers.
- Fixed The keyboard no longer changes your name. When typing your name or your pet's, your phone's autocorrect could replace it with a suggestion. Name fields now keep exactly what you write.
- Improved Better with screen readers. Text fields now announce what they are and read out the error when something is missing, instead of being announced as a generic field.
- Improved Easier to tap. Text boxes grew to the recommended minimum size, so you hit them on the first try.
- New Anonymous usage measurement. We started recording which step people get stuck on so we can fix it. No pet names, medication names or people's names ever leave your device — only which screens are seen and which actions happen. It's all spelled out in the privacy policy.
- Fixed The notification button is now in your language. If you used the app in English or Portuguese, the reminder arrived translated but the button to mark the dose was still in Spanish.
- Improved The record you share is much shorter. It used to list one line per dose, which made it unreadable on WhatsApp. Now it shows the adherence summary and only the doses that were missed or given late. Full detail is still in the CSV.
- New You can share a single treatment's record, not just the whole pet's. Useful when the appointment is about one treatment in particular.
- Improved Creating your group is one step shorter. We no longer ask for the group name separately: we create it as "your name's group" and you can change it any time in Settings.
- Improved After adding your pet you go straight to its treatment. You used to land back on an empty home screen and have to find the next step.

- New The history now also includes completed medications and flags repeated ones.

- Fixed On Android, bottom sheets no longer sit behind the navigation bar.
