What's New (v4.5.1)

Published May 7, 2026

Shield app blocking is more reliable after quick app switching, focus drift tracking updates more consistently, and reminder scheduling is stronger during startup and resume.

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.

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.
