What’s new in Splash

On your Lock Screen. In the iPhone app, the pain relief timer, mini pill window and contraction timer can show as Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Tap Taken for your pill, or Start and Stop a contraction, without unlocking. Each one is off until you switch it on, and the wording stays neutral.

From your notifications. Pill reminders now carry Taken and Snooze buttons, and check-in reminders have a Log button.

Locking. Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, with your PIN as the backup. Discreet mode, the decoy PIN and panic wipe are all still there.

Better estimates.

• A bleed soon after your last period now asks “New period or spotting?” instead of starting a new cycle.
• Cycles up to 90 days count, for PCOS, perimenopause and other long cycles.
• Predictions show as a range, and a new accuracy card shows how close past estimates landed.
• You can no longer log a period on a day that hasn’t happened yet.

Sharing and backup. Everyone you share with is in one “People you share with” list. Set the categories for each person, pause, set an end date or stop. Backups are now a password-protected .splash file that includes your photos, and sync merges changes field by field, so edits on two phones don’t overwrite each other.

A calmer Today. Extra cards sit under “More for today”, and the More tab is regrouped. Ask Splash brings short chats, one search across the library and tools, and “When to get help”.

Health library. Articles were checked again against their sources in October 2026, based on NHS, NICE, FSRH and RCOG guidance. There are new mini courses, a migraine diary, a medicines list with refill countdowns, and a doctor report with a PBAC bleeding chart and “Patterns in my logs”. You can also share a time-limited link to your report with a clinician.

A new home for Splash: the library of health articles, free calculators that run in your browser, and a plain-English map of what we can and can’t see. The site sets no cookies.

Splash now has optional accounts. Your data is encrypted on your phone with AES-GCM-256 before it syncs, and we store only a locked copy. A recovery code (shown once) or a link-device QR code adds your other phones. No account is still needed to use Splash.

Share chosen categories with a partner using a QR code. Each share has its own key that lives only in that code and your app. Partners need no account, and their app is read-only.

You can now pause a partner share (they keep your last update, frozen) or let it expire on a date you pick. Stopping a share still ends it at once.

Share how you’re feeling today and what would help. Your partner can reply “On it”. Replies are encrypted with the share key and deleted after three days.
