Orbital Focus 1.0.4

Orbital Focus 1.0.4 adds a private Stress Release exercise and a set of smaller navigation, haptic, audio, localization, and reliability improvements. The version is live on the US App Store as of August 25, 2026.

Send the thought into a black hole

Stress Release gives you a place to write the thought that is crowding the next focus block. When you are ready, send it into a black hole and watch it disappear.

The privacy boundary is simple: the words are processed locally, are never saved, and are never sent anywhere. This is a brief reflective exercise, not mental-health treatment or crisis support.

A 60-second release card

1. Write the thought in one plain sentence.
2. Name the next action that is still under your control.
3. Send the sentence into the black hole.
4. Start the smallest useful focus block.

If writing increases distress or the problem needs action from another person, stop the exercise and use the appropriate human support. Do not discard information needed for safety, care, or a real decision.

Haptics and sound now react to the moment

The black hole responds with reactive haptics and ambient sound. Version 1.0.4 also includes a mute control, so the exercise can stay quiet when sound is not appropriate.

Replay History moved to Hangar

Replay History now lives in Hangar. The update also tightens close controls and navigation so it is easier to leave the new experience and return to the mission flow.

Reliability and localization

The release includes localization and reliability improvements alongside the visible Stress Release work. The public App Store version history is the source of record for the shipped summary.

Want a duration before launching? Use the 25-minute timer or choose a pattern in the Pomodoro technique guide. The best focus apps comparison explains where a fixed Orbital Focus mission fits beside schedulers, physical blockers, body doubling, and ambient timers.
