This release introduces significant improvements across the mobile app, web portal, and core desktop features. The focus has been on updating the mobile app with a modernized design, enhanced navigation, and real-time syncing capabilities while adding new features and usability enhancements across all platforms.

New user UI
The screens have been recreated. Navigation is moved to the bottom. The different event entry modes are given a more prominent placement.

Sound alarm at the end of the Birth Monitor timers. Customizable from Settings.
Automatic checkout
After 10 minutes of inactivity, the app automatically checks out the employee.
New Device Manager
Device manager has been redesigned to enhance user experience and avoid common misconfigurations. Adding a device has been separated in another screen so that it's very clear for users which devices they have already paired and which are still to be paired. We've added the Platform type selector, which will allow users with specific devices to quickly get them up and running.
Checkin by QR or employee alias
Employees can checkin using a QR label or typing their alias.
Auto sync
Events can be synced as soon as they are recorded, avoiding the need to press the sync button.
