Lifeline 1.11: Smoother upgrades and a steadier Sign Off

Lifeline 1.11 is live in the App Store. This release is about reliability: making sure the app remembers what you own and stays out of your way while you work.

Get your Pro access back

Some of you have owned Lifeline Pro for years, whether through a lifetime purchase or a promo code, only to open the app one day and find it showing Basic. Tapping Restore Purchase did not always help, especially if the code was redeemed while an update was downloading in the background.

1.11 fixes that. Restore Purchase now forces a fresh sync with the App Store before it checks what you own, so a purchase that was sitting on your Apple account but missing from the app gets picked up properly. If your Pro access ever went quiet, update Lifeline, open the upgrade screen, and tap Restore Purchase once more.

You will find Restore Purchase on the upgrade screen, reachable from any Pro feature or from the menu bar.

A quieter Sign Off around meetings

If you use the Sign Off Challenge and a calendar meeting runs past your stop time, Lifeline used to weigh in while you were still in the room. That is the last moment you want a reminder about shutting down for the day.

Now it stays silent through the meeting and tells you the new lock time once the meeting wraps, so the nudge arrives when you can actually act on it. There is nothing to switch on; it simply behaves better.

A new home for help

Lifeline’s help center has moved to a new knowledge base. Every link inside the app, from the menu bar to Preferences to the product tour, now points there, and the articles have been rewritten to match how the current app actually works.

Smaller fixes

A few more improvements in this release:

  • Steadier activity editing. Adding an activity in the same edit as an overlapping delete no longer drops the new entry, and editing a running session no longer throws off the duration zoom.
  • Smoother under the hood. A round of concurrency cleanup across the activity and lifecycle code makes day-to-day tracking more dependable.
  • Clearer wording. “Premium” is now “Pro” throughout, and the account screen’s old “Downgrade” link reads as a plainer “View plan.”
