KaiZenly+ 1.4.0: Scale habits and stronger habit alarms

Released June 29, 2026, KaiZenly+ 1.4.0 expands the habit system with Scale habits and independent full-screen habit alarms, while keeping the same local-first privacy model and calm monochrome design.

Coming soon

Scale habits

Track daily ratings such as energy, sleep quality, stress, confidence, or focus quality. Scale habits can use shared Journal scales or custom scales created inside the habit flow.

Full-screen alarms

Habit Alarm is now separate from Reminder. Use a normal notification, a ringing full-screen alarm, both, or neither. Alarms support done, missed, and 30-minute snooze.

Zen Shield clarity

Website and docs now reflect the current protected-focus model: Device Admin is required for protected Zen Shield sessions, and only installed approved essentials appear in the allow-list.
