What’s New

New in this update: Goal Celebrations

When you hit your daily step goal, Daily Petal now celebrates with a gentle rain of your completed day’s petal the next time you open the app. It’s a small moment to recognize the progress you made.

Bug fixes and improvements:

• Improved Live Activity step updates after locking or reopening the app.
• Improved the Lock Screen Live Activity layout so larger step counts fit better.
• Fixed swipe navigation between the current month and an active workout.

Also included from version 1.6:

Walking Workouts with Live Activities are now available. Tap the walking icon at the top of the app, follow the Health access steps, and track your current steps toward your goal while you walk.

Thanks again to the user who reported the navigation issue through Roadmap in Settings. If there’s something you’d like to see next, please send it there. More Walking Workout features are coming soon.

New: Photo Screensaver

Sandar can now turn your Apple TV into a photo slideshow while it keeps watching your Frigate cameras in the background. Choose photos from your Apple TV library, Favorites, Recent photos, or iCloud Shared Albums.

When Frigate detects activity, Sandar automatically switches from the slideshow to the active camera or cameras, then returns to your photos once things clear. It is a little less “security bunker on the wall” and a little more “family-room picture frame that still knows when something is happening.”

Also included:

• Slideshow shuffle, duration, fit, background, transition, and motion settings
• Optional clock overlay

Walking workouts are here.

This update adds the first version of Walk Workout Live Activities, making it easier to track your current steps toward your daily goal while you walk. To start a workout, tap the walking symbol at the top of the home screen, follow the prompts to allow Health access, and Daily Petal will show your live progress right in the app and through the Live Activity.

This release also fixes several navigation issues, including smoother swiping between months and the active workout screen. A special thank you to the user who reported the navigation issue through the Roadmap feature in Settings. Feedback like that helps make Daily Petal better.

This is just the first release for Live Activities, with more workout and progress features planned down the road. If there’s something you’d love to see next, please share it in the Roadmap.

Fixed additional connection issues that prevented some users from connecting to their servers over certain connection types.

This update resolves an issue introduced while tightening app security. I went a bit too far, and Tailscale unfortunately became a casualty.

Apologies for the disruption, and thanks for your patience.

We’ve been busy smoothing things out behind the scenes.
This update includes a lot of bug fixes, polish, and small improvements to make the app feel better across the board. We also ironed out a bunch of little quirks that were getting in the way.

New in Settings: Feedback & Roadmap.
You can now submit ideas, vote on upcoming features, and help shape what comes next. This has already become an incredible way to hear from the people who care most about the app, and your input genuinely helps guide where we take it.

Thanks for using the app and being part of its growth.

Kapal 1.7.3 — Snapshots, Sharing, and Smarter Alerts

A massive thank-you to everyone using the Roadmap in Settings to submit ideas and vote on what comes next. Every single feature in this update came directly from your suggestions and the community votes that pushed them to the top. This is your release.

WHAT'S NEW

• HD event snapshots — event photos now pull a full-resolution frame from the recording stream when available, with a graceful fallback to the standard snapshot. Massive quality upgrade on cameras with low detect resolution.
• Photo / Video switcher — event detail now has a proper segmented control to swap between the photo and the clip. Snapshot is finally a first-class view, not a placeholder.
• Pinch, zoom, and pan on the fullscreen photo — tap the photo to go fullscreen, then pinch to zoom in, drag to pan, double-tap to toggle 2.5x. Share button included.
• Bigger, sharper event list thumbnails — new Full Frame option (now the default) shows the whole camera frame for each event instead of a tight 175x175 crop. Toggle right from the Events tab toolbar if you prefer the old style.
• Offline Camera Alerts (Kapal+) — get a notification when a camera has been offline for a while. Configurable threshold, optional "back online" alerts, per-camera toggles. Lives under System → Connection → Offline Alerts.
• Faster live grid — camera previews now use WebP where supported, dropping bandwidth roughly 10x at the same image quality. Falls back automatically.
• iPad polish — events now lay out as a 2-column grid and the long-standing tap bug on event cards is fixed.

KEEP THE IDEAS COMING
Every feature above started as a comment in the Roadmap. Settings → System → Roadmap. Submit what you want, vote on what others have asked for, and be specific! The more clearly you describe the use case, the easier it is to design the right thing.

Thank you for making Kapal better. :)

What’s New in Kapal

This update fixes an issue where some videos would stop playing after 5 seconds.

Onboarding has also been improved, especially for users who need to enter a username and password, making setup smoother and easier to follow.

New in this release: Roadmap. You can now submit your own feature ideas and vote on future improvements directly in the app. Find it under the System tab, at the bottom near the Contact Support button.

This release also marks build 50 for Kapal. A special thank you to everyone who has reached out for support, reported issues, and shared suggestions along the way. Kapal gets better because of users like you, and your feedback directly shapes what comes next.

I appreciate your ongoing support and a big thank you to those who reach out with suggestions!

Bug fixes and quality improvements:

• Improved support/contact flow for a smoother help experience.
• Fixed a System tab issue so server restart is consistently available.
• General stability and reliability enhancements.

What’s New in This Version

Major update: first pass for H.265 support is here.
Sandar now includes an initial implementation for H.265 camera streams, with smarter playback handling and fallback behavior designed for real-world mixed-camera setups.

Also major in this release: Active Events to Top.
You can now prioritize cameras with active detections so important activity is surfaced first, while still falling back to your configured camera order when activity clears.

Additional improvements in this version:
• Improved stream startup and recovery to avoid black-screen dead ends.
• Better on-screen connection status messaging during load, retry, and fallback.
• Faster failure detection for streams that report “ready” but never render video frames.
• Automatic fallback path improvements (main → sub/snapshot) when a stream is not playable.
• Better handling for non-16:9 cameras (like doorbells) with proper letterboxing/pillarboxing.
• Top header controls now auto-hide when idle and reappear on remote movement.
• Stability hardening in camera reorder and event parsing paths.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact hey@judeworks.app.

What’s New

This update comes to you from a laundromat in Miami while I’m on vacation, because apparently that is when I decided to finally wrap up Kapal’s H.265 / HEVC support.

Main Improvements

H.265 / HEVC Reliability

This is a major H.265 / HEVC update for Kapal. Live camera streams and event clips using H.265 should now work much more reliably, including setups that previously failed or behaved inconsistently.

One of my own H.265 cameras has been a long-running troublemaker: unreliable live view, unreliable event playback, and constant edge cases exposing gaps in Kapal’s playback support. With this update, that camera is now correctly streaming its main feed and playing back events reliably.

Stream Quality Selection

You can now tap the stream quality while viewing a live camera and switch qualities directly from there. Kapal will remember your selection and use it as the default for that camera.

Other Improvements

• Improved live camera playback reliability for both main and sub streams.
• Improved playback handling for H.264 streams and event clips.
• Added better fallback handling for unsupported codecs and playback paths.
• Improved detection of available Frigate/go2rtc stream options.
• Improved main/sub/MJPEG fallback behavior so stream selection is clearer and more reliable.
• Added a connection status indicator while Kapal tests available stream fallbacks from main stream to sub stream to MJPEG.
• Improved event loading, filtering, snapshots, and thumbnails, especially for ongoing events.
• Added a dedicated fallback playback path so Kapal can still attempt event clips instead of failing immediately.

If you have a camera, stream, or event clip that still does not play correctly, please reach out: hey@judeworks.app

About this app:

Kapal
A minimal, secure viewer for your Frigate NVR system.

Kapal is a lightweight and privacy-focused iOS and iPadOS app built specifically for users of the Frigate NVR (Network Video Recorder) system. Designed with simplicity, performance, and security in mind, Kapal lets you connect to your Frigate server and monitor your camera feeds with ease, without unnecessary bloat.

Key Features:

• Live Camera Grid: View all your cameras in a clean, real-time grid layout.
• Minimal Mode: Hide borders, labels, and UI elements to maximize visibility. See more cameras at once with less scrolling.
• Full-Screen Playback: Tap any feed to enter fullscreen live view.
• Picture in Picture: Keep a live camera visible while using other apps or navigating around your device.
• Event Review: Browse and replay past detection events directly in the app.
• H.265 / HEVC Support: Watch supported H.265 / HEVC live streams and Event Clips directly in Kapal.
• Privacy-First Design: Built natively with no analytics, trackers, or data collection.

Whether you’re reviewing a single feed or monitoring multiple zones, Kapal keeps the interface fast, clean, and efficient.

Disclaimer:
Kapal requires an existing Frigate NVR system to function. H.265 / HEVC support is still evolving and compatibility may vary depending on your camera, stream configuration, and Frigate/go2rtc setup. If an Event Clip does not play correctly in Kapal, it may still work in a dedicated video player such as the VLC mobile app.

What's new:

I’ve found myself relying on Estimated Time to Goal a lot while walking, and one thing kept bothering me: the experience could feel delayed because it depended entirely on live HealthKit updates.

Estimated Time to Goal was already available before, but this update makes it faster and more accurate by using optional motion activity data to estimate your current steps per minute in real time.

Existing users who have already completed onboarding will be prompted after updating to enable motion activity access, while new users will see the request during onboarding. This release also includes general performance improvements, stability updates, and bug fixes.

About this app:

Daily Petal offers a simple, visual way to track your steps.

As you walk, your daily steps help grow a digital flower that reflects your progress over time. With Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, you can check your bloom and step progress without opening the app.

— YOUR MONTH IN BLOOM —
Each month, a new flower appears. Every petal represents a day, growing as you move closer to your goal. It is a clear, gentle way to see your progress one day at a time.

See your flower on your Lock Screen and Home Screen, track your step count, and check your daily goal progress at a glance.

— A MORE VISUAL WAY TO TRACK —
Each petal reflects your activity throughout the day, giving you a simple picture of how much you moved. Every flower becomes a small record of your month.

— SIMPLE, THOUGHTFUL INTERACTIONS —
Tap a petal to look back on a day, drag across the flower to move through the month, or pinch to zoom in and see the details.

— A QUIET SENSE OF PROGRESS —
When you reach your daily step goal, your petal is marked with a soft golden glow. A small visual reward for staying consistent.

— NEW FLOWERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR —
Each month brings a different flower design, giving your progress a fresh look as the seasons change.

New in this update: live pace estimates for your daily step goal.

While your steps are actively updating, you can now see an estimate of how much time is left to reach your goal based on your current pace. To view it, tap the current steps / goal steps stat at the top of the screen to cycle through your stats until the estimated time remaining appears.

This update also makes live tracking smoother and improves a few detail-view interactions.

Today’s update makes Daily Petal feel even more responsive and personalized.

What’s new:

• Live in-app step updates now feel smoother while viewing the app
• You can now tap the steps line on the main detail card to toggle between Steps and Distance
• Added Distance Unit setting (Miles or KM)
• Added Steps Per Mile / Steps Per KM input so distance can match your real stride more accurately

A personal note:
Ever since widgets were added, I’ve found myself hitting my goals daily. I’m really hoping they’re feeling just as useful and empowering for you too.

Your flower made it to the Lock Screen!

New Widgets

• Lock Screen flower that matches your bloom in the app
• Step count ring that fills as you reach your goal
• Clean steps-only widget for a simple number view
