What's New

October 22, 2026

Small experiments and clearer scores

New, optional ways to turn what you notice into a next step.

Added

• One small experiment: at the end of your check-in, you can pick one tiny step to try for an area, or write your own. Next week, the app asks how it went. It's always optional.
• Change arrows: Your week shows ↑ or ↓ next to each area compared with last week.
• Patterns: This week at a glance points out when an area has stayed low, or high, for 3 weeks or more.
• How to use your scores: a new section in the scoring guide. Tap What do these numbers mean? under your weekly summary.
• Your experiments now appear in your PDF report.

Changed

• Balance is now described as the average of the areas you rated: a quick snapshot, not a grade.
• Updated the Privacy Policy to mention experiments, which are saved on your device like your notes.

• A small Beta label next to the app's name.

Improved

• The welcome page now greets you with mywellnesswheel.com.
• Links to the site now show a title, description, and icon when you share them.

Weekly check-ins, reminders, and your privacy

Wellness Wheel now focuses on one weekly check-in, with new ways to stay on track and see your progress.

Changed

• Wellness Wheel is now a weekly check-in only. The optional daily rating was removed so the app stays simple. Daily ratings you saved before are kept on your device.
• Rewrote the check-in questions. Each area now has one clear question with a hint, and the check-in ends with a question about your week overall.

Added

• Weekly reminder: add a repeating reminder to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
• Balance trend: a graph in Your weeks shows how your wheel balance has changed over the last 8 weeks.
• The top card shows when you last checked in.
• Before you start a new week, your wheel shows last week's scores as a dashed outline to compare against.
• PDF report: download a dated report of any week's wheel, scores, and notes.
• If you rate Emotional wellness very low, the app shows how to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Privacy & Security

• Published a Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
• Strengthened the protection on sync codes. Existing synced data was moved to the stronger protection automatically, and your sync code stayed the same.

Fixed

• On phones, the check-in and help screens no longer hide behind the browser's toolbars.
• Buttons now fit on small screens without the page scrolling sideways.
• Area names no longer get cut off in PDF reports.
