What's new in Dew 1.4.0 — yours to shape

Every one of you is different. So now, Dew is yours to shape.

Written by Abhishek Agarwal, maker of Dew. How this is sourced →

Dew 1.4.0 is here. Dew grew with every letter you sent us. For some of you it got busy. Some of you loved it just as it was. We read every word, and the answer was the same each time: you are all different, so Dew should be too.

Yours to shape

On your page in Dew there’s Make it yours. Your home, your log, your You, your rhythm and your tabs, each one a few calm choices away. Change it today, change it back tomorrow.

Make it yours

on your page in Dew, any time

Your home

your flower, your sky, your cup

Your log

what you log, and in what order

Your You

the girl drawn like you, and what she shows

Your rhythm

the page that reads your cycles, in the look you like

Your tabs

You, Rhythm or both, in your order

Rhythm, back as your choice

Keep the You tab, bring Rhythm back beside it, or have both, in the order you like. If you updated, Dew asks you once, on its first page.

And also in 1.4.0

  • A calmer Dew: Today, the evening page and the Journal, redrawn to say less and show more.
  • The book of you: a few honest pages about your cycles, written only once your days really show it.
  • Your own rhythm: for long or changing cycles, Dew reads your own range and never calls you late.
  • Pain days: tap cramps twice for a strong day, and Today turns into a quiet room.
  • A record for your doctor: a few counted facts and your own words, nothing interpreted.
  • Hard-day care: when you call a day stormy, a minute of breathing or a page to write it out.

Privacy stays the root

Everything you shape lives where everything else in Dew does: on your phone and in your own private iCloud. No account, no ads, no Dew server. By design.

Missing something? Open Dear us in Dew and tell us, or write to us here. We’ll build it next.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Where did Rhythm go?
Nowhere. Since 1.3.0 the third tab has been You, and Rhythm has been a door away on the You page. Now you choose: keep You, bring Rhythm back as a tab, or have both, in Make it yours → Dew → Your tabs.
Does shaping Dew send anything anywhere?
No. Your choices are kept on your phone and in your own private iCloud, like everything else in Dew. There is no Dew account and no Dew server reading your data.
How do I ask for something Dew can't do yet?
Open Dear us in Dew and write to us, or tap “I wish I could…” at the foot of Make it yours. We read every letter, and the most-asked things are what we build next.
