What’s new with Murph

The latest seven days of features and improvements, with the full archive one step away.

What's new in Murph

3 updates shipped in this edition.

Improvements

Improvement

Quicker pickup for back-to-back texts

When you text Murph while it is still working on your last message, the new one is picked up right away instead of waiting several seconds to be resent.

This applies to private chats. Account and conversation checks still run before a message is accepted.

Improvement

Clearer help when a Fitbit connection doesn't finish

If Google Health stops a Fitbit connection, Murph now explains the setup step that usually fixes it.

Fitbit connects through Google Health, so your Google Account needs a Google Health profile before Murph can link it. Google Fit is no longer offered for new connections because Google is retiring it.

Improvement

More chances for an unsent reply

Murph can retry a recent reply when the messaging provider confirms it never sent.

Recovery pauses between attempts and stops after three minutes. Uncertain sends stay closed to avoid duplicate replies, and a later reply does not count as delivery of the original.

Improvements

Improvement

Faster lookups across several wearables

When you connect more than one wearable, Murph combines their readings faster for activity, sleep, recovery and body lookups.

Lookups use the same sources and readings as before, and Murph picks the same source for each day.

Improvement

Assistant models use OpenAI

Murph now uses OpenAI for assistant replies, with model and reasoning choices in Settings.

Venice and custom inference endpoints are no longer available. Saved model and reasoning preferences remain subject to your plan.

Improvements

Improvement

A follow-up when your Family plan ends

Family billing owners now receive the same cancellation follow-up email as individual subscribers.

When your subscription ends, the email goes to your verified, checkout, or Stripe billing email address so you can reply with feedback or ask for help. Other family members do not receive the billing follow-up.

Improvements

Improvement

Faster replies after a dropped connection

When Murph's connection to its model drops before a reply starts, Murph recovers after 15 seconds instead of 90.

Replies that have already started keep their existing time, so longer reasoning and tool work can still finish.

Improvement

Less waiting on experiment follow-up checks

Murph can check whether an experiment follow-up is due without first refreshing unrelated health summaries.

The check still uses your current experiment status and saved activity to decide whether to follow up.

Improvement

More reliable phone welcomes

Murph can finish setting up your private phone conversation after a welcome message is accepted, including when you add a phone after signing up by email.

The handoff still checks your verified phone and assigned Murph number before linking the conversation.

Improvement

Short waits and clearer wrist buzz results

Ask Murph to wait a few seconds before buzzing your WHOOP or Garmin, and to check whether the band accepted it.

Waits under a minute happen right away; longer delays still use reminders. If the Murph app is not open on your iPhone, Murph now says so instead of reporting a buzz that cannot arrive. Keep the app open with the band connected for delivery.

Improvements

Improvement

More reliable iMessage typing indicators

Typing indicators recover correctly after a message that does not need a reply.

An earlier silent message no longer leaves later messages without a typing indicator. This applies to private conversations and supported group chats.

Improvement

One Murph badge on iMessage cards

Nutrition, workout, and challenge cards viewed on a Mac or without the Murph app show one Murph badge instead of two overlapping ones.

Card contents and layout are unchanged. Cards that were already sent keep their original image.

Improvements

Improvement

Faster follow-through on reactions

Question marks and thumbs-down iMessage reactions reach Murph without an extra interpretation step.

Ambiguous laughter and unidentified reactions get another look instead of being dismissed as acknowledgment. Clear appreciation can still stay quiet, and a reaction alone never grants permission to take action.

Improvement

Less extra work for saved health lookups

Murph keeps wearable and blood-test lookups focused on the records they need.

Latest readings, activity, recovery and blood-test lists avoid unrelated search rebuilds. Preparing your Vault also reuses wearable calculations. Saved updates and deletions are still checked before Murph answers.

Improvement

Correct an invalid sign-in number

When SMS sign-in rejects an invalid phone number, Murph asks you to check the number and country code instead of suggesting you retry later.

This fixes an additional provider response format. Service outages keep their retry guidance, and verification protections are unchanged.

Improvement

More reliable background saves

Murph can finish saving recent conversation changes when background updates complete at the same time.

Overlapping saves preserve the latest completed background progress. This improves saving reliability without changing how replies are sent.

Improvement

A clearer view of your usage

Ask Murph what used your allowance, with a breakdown by model and activity and a closer look at expensive turns.

A quiet weekly review can move suitable reminders to Luna while preserving explicit model preferences and more demanding work. Reviews are bounded, and missing usage details are marked as unavailable rather than estimated as zero.

New features

Feature

Wrist reminders through the iPhone app

Connect a compatible band in Settings > Connect device, test a buzz, then ask Murph how wrist reminders could help.

Murph can send an immediate wrist reminder or schedule one for later. Keep the app open with the band connected when it is due. Garmin may also make a sound; device compatibility is still being verified.

Improvements

Improvement

Clearer app and wrist connection help

With a compatible Murph iPhone app, Murph can report when the app last checked in and explain why a wrist reminder could not be sent.

For a useful timer or discreet reminder, Murph can offer an optional wrist cue when it already knows you wear WHOOP or Garmin. App contact includes background activity when iOS permits it, but does not prove Health sync or app closure. Groups can see last contact when you share wearable data from an active Apple Health connection.

Improvement

More reliable browser opening

Murph gives a slow-loading page time to finish opening and return its contents.

Opening a page now leaves time to read it after navigation. Websites can still time out or return errors.

Improvement

Less preparation for experiment lists

Murph can list your saved experiments without first preparing unrelated health summaries.

Experiment lists still use your current saved plans and statuses. Other health views are prepared when those views are needed.

Improvement

Less repeated work behind your replies

Murph can handle longer vault tasks with focused context and review morning reminders in batches.

Simple iMessage acknowledgments can stay quiet after a lightweight check. Reactions that answer a question, express confusion, or need follow-through continue to the full assistant. Reminder changes still require a current record check.

Improvement

Clearer phone sign-in errors

When the SMS provider explicitly rejects a phone number as invalid, sign-in asks you to check the number and country code.

Service failures still show the existing retry message. Verification and fraud protections remain in place.

Improvement

Less back-and-forth for food estimates

Murph reuses checked nutrition facts when you correct a meal and keeps routine ingredient research bounded.

Food search better distinguishes complete product names and finds longer names from short misspelled queries. When a routine label lookup is inconclusive, Murph can give a clearly marked estimate; exact allergen and dosing questions still need verified evidence.

Improvement

Reminders by phone call

Ask Murph in a private iMessage or Telegram chat to call you with a reminder at a chosen time.

Murph uses your incoming iMessage phone number when available and asks for a number when it is missing. Each scheduled reminder makes one call attempt; reaching you is not guaranteed.
