Changelog
Seven days of features and improvements from the full Murph archive.
Group chats get personal: Murph addresses members by their preferred names and challenges can run on steps, workouts, and heart-rate zones. Plus a batch of first-touch fixes across invites, sign-up, and device connects.
New features
Joining a group now introduces you by the name you told Murph during onboarding. Murph addresses each member by their preferred name and attributes shared stats to the right person instead of re-asking.
iMessage · Sleep league
Group challenges now support member-approved sharing for steps, activity minutes, workouts, heart-rate-zone minutes, strain, VO2 max, resting heart rate, HRV, and more. Each is a bounded daily stat you approve explicitly, never raw health data.
Shareable challenge stats
Improvements
During a slow turn, a big lab upload or a long lookup, Murph's mid-turn progress updates now actually reach your chat instead of silently disappearing while you wait.
iMessage
Access checks now understand family sponsorship on every path, so a sponsored member's group-chat message gets answered instead of silently dropped.
After you create a family invite, the dialog stays open, says plainly that Murph did not text the invitee, and gives you the link to share yourself.
If your browser redelivers the connect callback after a wearable links up, you now land back in the app showing the connected state instead of a bare connection-failed page.
Text Murph seconds after signing up and the queued welcome message now steps aside once real conversation has started. Silent signups still get the welcome as before.
Add Murph to an iMessage group and it just works: it sets itself up, introduces itself with a contact card, and knows when to chime in. Plus overnight memory consolidation, a cleaner family seat flow, and Garmin sync recovery.
New features
Start an iMessage group with friends and Murph's number, send one message, and Murph comes alive in the room: it sets up the group's own private runtime, replies to that first message, and everyone in the chat can talk to it.
Inside a group Murph behaves like a participant, not a support desk. It sees who said what, knows when to reply, react, or stay quiet, and plays with shared challenge data without punching down.
iMessage · The boys
In a group, Murph can check who already has their own Murph and drop its contact card once: a tappable card with its number, so friends without Murph can save it and text in to get set up.
iMessage · Sunday crew
Three nights a week at 3am, Murph runs an overnight pass that consolidates the last week of conversation into durable memory, so context carries across sessions without you repeating yourself.
Overnight maintenance
Improvements
Inviting someone to a full plan now adds the $7/mo seat in the same step with the cost shown up front, the seat count waits for billing to reconcile instead of showing a stale number, and empty seats can be removed.
Family seat flow
One broken optional endpoint at our device-data partner had been failing entire hourly syncs for Garmin connections. Murph now skips just the broken resource, so sleep, activity, and daily timeseries land again.
Searching Advanced Antioxidant now finds Advanced Antioxidants, creatin monohydrate finds Creatine Monohydrate, and a brand query that matches nothing falls back to normal search instead of coming back empty.
Murph groups get real join links with explicit, bounded health sharing. Plus cleaner Garmin sleep-stage imports and background work that yields to your messages.
New features
Ask Murph in a group to invite someone and it mints a real join link. The page signs them in and adds them to the group; health sharing stays a separate choice, only the bounded stats they explicitly approve. Joining alone shares nothing.
Joining a group shares
Improvements
Fixed the compact sleep-cycle import and stopped pulling unrelated records alongside it, so Garmin sleep stages land correctly in the vault.
A scheduled background run no longer delays the reply to a message you just sent. Foreground conversation preempts cron work instead of queueing behind it.
Sponsor Murph for the people in your house — 2 to 6 private seats with their own monthly allowance. Pulse Trial now runs 10 days. Murph checks whether a wearable needs reconnect before answering about sleep or recovery, and shares its contact card on first outbound so people can save the number.
New features
Buy 2 to 6 Family seats at $7 per sponsored person per month. Each sponsored member gets a private account with its own Pulse-level monthly allowance — no shared pool, and the owner can't read their chats, vault, or health data.
Invite by Telegram username, phone, or verified email. Invites consume already-paid seats; creating one never silently adds a Stripe charge.
Family covers
After Murph's first successful direct iMessage in a Linq chat, it best-effort shares the configured contact card so the recipient can save the name and number before the thread fills up.
Only one share attempt every 48 hours per chat, and only when the outbound was real direct iMessage delivery.
iMessage
Every new Pulse Trial now lasts 10 days instead of 7. Trials already in flight keep their original length; fresh signups land on the new policy.
Pulse Trial length
every new trial, no card required
Murph now handles red light and photobiomodulation questions with real dose math: it asks for your panel's model and distance, computes session time from matched dose and irradiance data, and keeps claims inside what studies actually show.
iMessage
Improvements
Ask about sleep, recovery, activity, or workouts and Murph now sees which connected source needs reconnect, so it flags the gap and points you to the fix instead of treating the silence as the truth.
iMessage
Slow saves during onboarding — supplement regimens and lab panels — now run in a fresh background subagent so the chat keeps moving instead of stalling while writes finish.
Onboarding mid-write
supplements and labs save in background
Rebuilt the public homepage with a new clock-in hero, an asymmetric editorial layout for the asks-Murph-handles section, and a flat trust band rewritten to match what the security FAQ actually claims.
New on the homepage
Garmin sleep, cycles, and hypnograms now arrive as real records. The phone-number sign-in stops freezing right after the verification code lands. Plus quiet reliability fixes on Linq read receipts and scheduled-reminder wakes.
New features
Improvements
Closed a state bug where the hosted phone-number sign-in could land on a blank step right after the SMS code was accepted.
Restored the read indicator on inbound Linq messages from active members. Closes a regression where receipts had stopped firing on the active-member webhook path.
A consumed scheduled-reminder wake no longer replays when the cron loop reprocesses the same window. Closed a small path that could deliver the same reminder ping twice.
Scheduled reminder fires
on cron rewind
If the first-contact admission classifier is unavailable, Murph now admits the new contact and sends the normal signup reply instead of silent dead-air. Explicit spam blocks still hold.
Improvements
Unknown senders now get the normal signup-link reply when the OpenAI admission classifier is unavailable. Deterministic spam blocks, content-filter blocks, and budget exhaustion still gate before any side effects.
iMessage
Sunday's recap can now lead with stress patterns and cross-metric meta-patterns when those are the real story, instead of always slotting findings into fixed sleep/activity sections.
iMessage
This week, one pattern stands out
Your worst sleep nights all followed late training — stress regulation, not volume, is the lever.
Active conditions, allergies, meds, and supplements ride along in Murph's working context so safety-relevant guidance is shaped before the first vault lookup. Image generation can build on photos you sent, progress shots save durably, and Sunday's digest stays quiet when nothing happened.
New features
Murph now sees your active conditions, allergies, medication regimens, and supplement regimens at the top of every turn — sorted by severity, capped on size, and linked to the right vault-cli lookup for deeper detail.
Stopped medications never reappear through a condition's related-regimen link. Absence reads as NKDA, not as missing information.
Pinned for this thread
Send Murph a sketch, a product shot, or a style reference and `generate_image` can use it as the basis for the next image instead of asking you to describe it in words.
Up to 16 ordered reference images per call, drawn from the current turn's attachments. JPG, PNG, and WebP only; 2 MiB per image, 32 MiB combined.
iMessage
Built on image 1
Skin, posture, wound, and form check-in photos now land in your vault as canonical capture records, so the bytes are still there weeks later when you want to compare a series — instead of expiring with inbox media.
Privacy retention
14-day windowBytes live in captures, not inbox.
Improvements
Murph's Sunday health digest now skips itself when there's no real wearable or experiment movement. If your wearable's quietly broken, it sends one short reconnect note instead of a hollow recap.
iMessage
The unknown-sender classifier now lets through anyone who mentions Murph or asks a real Murph question, with a per-contact cap of 4 attempts so transient outages don't permanently silence one person.
When an unknown number texts
If you keep replying on the wrong Linq chat, Murph tells you to switch to your home line once per chat — not on every inbound until you finally move.
iMessage
When a vault-file delivery is missing approval state, the outbox now parks the intent durably and resumes when you approve, instead of churning through pre-provider retries.
Retell now receives call metadata in the fields its API expects, and delayed analysis callbacks can't resurrect a phone call Murph already failed before it started.
