RaveLite 1.4

RaveLite is a training app. It chimes through the day, and each chime asks for one small thing. Answer it from the notification and carry on with what you were doing.

Everything stays on the phone. There is no account, and nothing is sent anywhere.

New in 1.4

Five drills for the waist, as opposed to the abs. The library already trained the core hard — hollow holds, long-lever planks, dragon flags, V-ups, an L-sit, a suitcase carry. What it had nothing for was the narrower question: the shape of the waist, which is a different job.

Stomach Vacuum the deep layer that wraps the waist like a belt — the one drill here that changes the width
Ribs Down a flared rib reads as a thicker middle at any body fat
Towel Rollout the hardest anti-extension drill available without a wheel
Pallof Press a strong middle without the loaded rotation that thickens a waist
Side Plank Reach-Through obliques under bodyweight only

The vacuum says the thing you least want to hear and most need told: what makes a core visible is body fat, not the drill.

The Pallof press needs a band and something to tie it to, so it only appears if you have both. The rest need a mat at most.

RaveLite 1.3.1

Fixed in 1.3.1

The useful things were behind the wrong door. In 1.3, sunscreen, a sleep time, screens down and a protein check were part of the Face and skin pack — so only people who opted into a pack about appearance ever saw them. They are the items with the largest effect of anything in that area, and they are good for everybody.

They are no longer in the pack. Everyone gets them.

The pack keeps what it is really about — the face, and a puffy morning — and it now arrives by default on the five archetypes who are actually looked at: the Raver, the Flow Artist, the Super Hero, the Festival Six and the Archangel Knight. Anyone else can add it in a tap.

Everything stays on the phone. There is no account, and nothing is sent anywhere.

New in 1.3

A new pack: Face and skin. Drainage for the face and neck, a jaw release, gua sha, a scalp massage, a cold rinse — and the two things that actually matter over months, grouped under a heading that says so: sunscreen and enough protein.

It is honest about what lasts. Most of what is sold in this area works for an afternoon, so the app says hours, not weeks. The jaw drill will not reshape a jaw. The scalp drill does nothing for hair. Jawline exercises, tongue posture, face yoga and dry brushing are deliberately absent, because the evidence for changing an adult face that way is thin to none.

It is not fat, it is fluid. A pound of fat is about three and a half thousand calories. A pound of water is a salty dinner, a hard session or a bad night — and it leaves as fast as it came. Four drills for the levers that actually move water, and the waist measurement now tells you to read the fortnight rather than the morning.

That matters because the usual answer to a puffy morning is to eat less and train harder, and under-eating holds more water.

RaveLite 1.2

RaveLite is a training app. It chimes through the day, and each chime asks for one small thing: ten push-ups, a minute of breathing, a glass of water, one drill. Answer it from the notification and carry on with what you were doing.

Everything stays on the phone. There is no account, and nothing is sent anywhere.

New in 1.2

Twenty-nine new drills. Footwork and agility — high knees, butt kicks, skater hops, lateral bounds, line hops. Three kinds of lunge, calf raises both ways, a glute bridge march and Nordic negatives. Jumping jacks, star jumps, squat thrusts, sprawls, sit-outs, inchworms. Pike push-ups and a wall handstand. The mobility work that was missing: cat-cow, 90/90, ankle rocks, open-book and thread the needle.

It stops offering you the same handful. The app now remembers which drills it has already put in front of you and rests them for a fortnight. A pick a day used to touch one drill; it now touches twelve to fourteen. Swapping past a drill rests it for longer — that is you saying not this one, and it listens.

The Archangel Knight wears the Starcom mark, in cyan.

New in 1.1

Times can read 2:30 PM. Settings › The app › Clock. It follows your phone's own setting by default, so most people will not have to touch it. What is stored never changes, so an export written on one setting restores on the other.

A new archetype: The Archangel Knight. For someone who works long nights looking after other people — self-defence, endurance, flow arts, and a tested standard.

Standards you hold, not just targets you chase. An archetype can now carry a standard: a set of marks with a clock on them. The Knight holds a B+ on six tests, retested every 90 days, and Goals says plainly whether you are ready, what is short, and what has gone out of date. It gates nothing — it only says where you stand.

Plainer writing throughout. About 250 lines of app text were rewritten after an audit: the setup flow says what the app is before warning about chest pain, the permanent notification says "Chimes are on" instead of "Ambient pulses active", the theme picker describes what each mark looks like, and the character sheet's columns say Starting, Holding and Changing rather than Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable.

Two fixes worth naming. The App status row no longer runs off the bottom of the screen. And "Reset to factory defaults" no longer deleted your whole chime plan on a single tap — it asks first, and says what it takes.
