KaiZenly+ 1.4.2: Alarm habits, scale sync, and cleaner settings

Released July 5, 2026, KaiZenly+ 1.4.2 focuses on accountability, connected tracking, and clearer setup. It adds alarm-based habits, journal-scale synchronization, visual Zen Shield focus improvements, dedicated profile and backup pages, and a permission health dashboard, while keeping the same local-first privacy model.

The goal is simple: make important routines harder to ignore, make habit and Journal data work together, and make sensitive settings easier to understand before the app launches publicly.

Unified daily record

Scale habits can connect with Journal scales, so ratings like energy, sleep quality, stress, focus quality, or confidence can support both habit progress and daily reflection.

Alarm-based habits

High-priority routines can use full-screen alarms with done, missed, stop, and snooze actions. Reminder and Alarm stay independent, so each habit can be as gentle or as firm as it needs to be.

Visual focus controls

Zen Shield gets real app icons, category grouping, clearer allowed-app cards, and persistent session display polish so focus sessions feel easier to read and manage.

Edit Profile page

Profile identity gets its own focused page with display-name editing and avatar selection, crop, and zoom. Photos are copied into app-private storage.

Backup pages

Local Backup and Google Drive Backup now have dedicated screens, making Data Only, Full Backup, media inclusion, manual backup, restore, and Drive connection easier to understand.

Permission health

Permissions move into a visual health dashboard with required and recommended groups, circular status indicators, and one-tap access to Android settings.

Focus stays practical

During an active Zen Shield session, KaiZenly+ can remain usable for Habits, Journal, Insights, and Profile. The Focus tab stays dimmed, and timer/end/call controls remain on the focus wall.

Scheduled backup

Google Drive backup can stay manual-only or run daily/weekly after setup. Backups stay encrypted, can include or exclude media, and can skip or delay when setup or network access is missing.

Detailed update summary

This release is designed for users who want a calmer routine system, not just a checklist.

Habits

  • Task habits for simple yes/no routines.
  • Count habits for measurable daily targets.
  • Scale habits for subjective daily ratings.
  • Full-screen habit alarms for routines that need stronger accountability.
  • Reminder and Alarm are independent per habit.
  • Per-habit snooze override for urgent or flexible routines.
  • Notification actions can log Task habits or increment Count habits quickly.
  • Scale habits can be independent or synced with Journal scales.
  • Custom scale creation inside habit setup.

Journal

  • Custom daily scales for energy, stress, sleep quality, focus quality, or similar measures.
  • Scale habits can link to existing Journal scales.
  • Scale values logged through habits can enrich the same day’s Journal context.
  • Ratings such as stress, energy, sleep, and focus can be reused across habit and reflection flows.
  • Scale habits stay selective: independent habits do not affect Journal unless linked.

Focus visuals

  • Allowed-app picker uses real installed app icons.
  • Allowed apps are grouped by practical categories.
  • Session screen remains visually persistent and easier to read.
  • Blocked attempt and allowed-app context stay visible during the focus flow.

  • Local Backup page for Data Only and Full Backup export/import.
  • Google Drive Backup page for account link, media toggle, manual backup, restore, and disconnect.
  • Permissions page with visual required vs recommended status.

Daily record

  • Habit records now support explicit Journal activity links.
  • Journal entries preserve stable activity selections and habit progress context.
  • Daily snapshots keep timeline history stable even when habits change later.
  • No developer server, no mandatory account, no analytics, and no ads.

Zen Shield

  • During an active session, Habits, Journal, Insights, and Profile can remain usable inside KaiZenly+.
  • The Focus tab can dim and stay unavailable during a running session, keeping timer/end/call/allowed-app controls on the focus wall.
  • Approved essentials include Phone, Messaging/SMS, WhatsApp, Gmail, Outlook, Google Keep, AI/productivity tools, and major banking/payment apps where installed.
  • Broad social and streaming apps are not treated as essentials.
  • Missing banking or productivity apps can be requested from inside the app.

Backup

  • Google Drive backup can move beyond manual export with manual-only, daily, and weekly schedule controls.
  • Media inclusion can be controlled so larger backup files are intentional.
  • If required setup or network access is missing, backup can skip or delay safely.
  • Backups still go to the user’s own hidden Drive app folder, never to a developer server.
