NOOP 8.3.0

NOOP v8.3.0

A tidy-up release: automatic backups got real controls, a few things that no longer belong were removed, and the project now builds and releases itself. Update from the Releases page, AltStore, or brew upgrade.

Backups

• Choose how many to keep. Automatic backups has a new "Keep last snapshots" control — pick how many daily copies to keep (default a week), and older ones are pruned oldest-first. Available on Android and iOS.
• Runs at a set time. The daily auto-backup is anchored to run around 1 am (best-effort), so you get a fresh dated snapshot overnight without opening the app.
• Easier to find. Settings → Backup & restore now has an "Automatic backups" entry that takes you straight to the folder picker and toggle.

Removed

• Donations and the "Support NOOP" section are gone — the Today nudge card, the Support screen, and the surrounding copy, on every platform.
• The dead noop.fans mirror link is removed (the site closed). The in-app "Project home" link and the docs point at the project's GitHub.

Under the hood

• The project builds and releases itself. On-demand testing builds across Android + macOS + iOS, and a proper Release build that bumps the version and publishes a real release — installed beside the official app so it never clashes.
• Release notes and "What's New" write themselves from a single per-version source, with an automatic list of everything that changed since the last release.
• A sweep of code cleanups (deprecated icons, redundant code, name shadows) — no behaviour change.

(Note: the reliability, Bluetooth, and HRV fixes credited to community contributors shipped in v8.2.2.)
