Why this matters
First Impression Refresh (v3.1.1) is one of those tidy-up releases that does not need a parade, but it still helps the Shield feel less fussy. Small fixes matter here because CogniFocus is supposed to get out of your way fast. Tap in, start the thing, dodge the scroll spiral, continue your tiny heroic quest. That is the whole deal.
- Improved onboarding flow with cleaner copy and smoother motion gets a little more room to breathe.
- Removed weaker onboarding steps gets a little more room to breathe.
- Improved Shield setup and Shield status screens gets a little more room to breathe.
- Added clearer Shield states like Setup Required, Ready, Waiting for session, and Monitoring distractions gets a little more room to breathe.
So yes, this is a smaller note. The point is still real: fewer weird little moments, clearer feedback, and less friction between you and the session you meant to start. The Goblin may still be dramatic about it, obviously, but the app should feel calmer where it counts.
