Why this matters
What's New (v4.5.1) 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.
- Shield app blocking is more reliable after quick app switching gets a little more room to breathe.
- Focus drifts/distractions now update more consistently everywhere in the app gets a little more room to breathe.
- Session and Shield behaviors were polished for smoother real-time tracking gets a little more room to breathe.
- Daily plan reminder scheduling is more reliable during startup and resume 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.
