v6.1.0

Manual Release Notes

LoopFollow v6.1.0 was released on 04 May 2026.

This release brings Live Activity upgrades, more accurate stats, a new forecast display for Trio users, smarter unit handling, and a pile of fixes for alarms, the graph, and the remote-command UI.

As always — thank you for testing, reporting issues, and helping make LoopFollow better.

Live Activity that doesn't keep nagging you (iOS 17.2+)

• Apple ends every Live Activity after about 8 hours, and until now LoopFollow had to ask you to open the app to renew it. On iOS 17.2 and later, LoopFollow now renews the Live Activity silently in the background — no more "please open the app" notifications every shift. (iOS 16 behavior is unchanged.)
• We've also fixed several Live Activity issues along the way: text/number truncation on the lock screen and Mac Catalyst builds.
• This feature requires Apple Push Notification credentials

Trio Users: Cone of uncertainty option Trio / OpenAPS forecast

• Instead of four separate forecast lines (ZT, IOB, COB, UAM), Trio users can now see a filled "cone" showing the min/max envelope of all forecasts — the same style Trio shows natively. Loop users still get their single prediction line.

Glucose units, simplified

• A new centralized unit and metric system.

Stats fixed (off-by-one corrected)

• The 7d / 14d / 30d quick selects were silently spanning one extra day, and per-day averages were divided by the wrong day count. Both are now correct, and "avg carbs" no longer skips carb-free days from its denominator.

Alarms in the background

• Fixed the "Unable to play alarm: Session activation failed" issue some users hit when using a bluetooth device as heartbeat.

Lots of smaller fixes

• Duplicate boluses / carbs / treatments on the graph (Nightscout was occasionally returning the same entry twice with different MongoDB IDs)
• BG graph plotting raw values like 550 above the HIGH cutoff — the chart now matches the header
• Send button on the Trio Remote / APNS bolus & meal screens getting hidden behind the keyboard toolbar
• Atlas (newer Insulet) DASH pods now show up when scanning for Omnipod DASH background refresh
• Double >> chevron on the Import/Export Settings row
• Fresh installs no longer run through legacy data migrations

Safer log sharing

• When you export logs to ask for help, sensitive bits (URLs, tokens, device IDs, Apple key IDs, bundle IDs, settings JSON) are now masked automatically — readable enough to debug, without exposing things you'd rather not share.

Anonymous telemetry (opt-in)

• On first launch you'll see a one-time prompt asking if it's OK to send a small, anonymous check-in once a day so we can see what platforms, units, and integrations are actually in use. No glucose, insulin, carbs, treatments, credentials, URLs, or logs are ever sent — and you can say no, or change your mind later under Settings → Diagnostics. Helps us prioritize what to work on next.
