Here's What's New
Neela's Recent Updates
We are always improving Neela by rolling out feature updates and new integrations. Here's the running record.
V1.6: October 2026
Notes, rebuilt from the ground up
All New Notes
Write the way you think. Add headings, bullet lists, checklists, tables and fill-in fields. Formatting tools sit right above your keyboard, and Undo and Redo are there if you change your mind. Prefer simple text? Switch to plain-text mode anytime.
Start with a template. Pick from ready-made templates for visit prep, visit summaries, medication changes, daily logs, measurements, vaccines, and ID & documents. Your care network can add its own templates too.
Never lose a word. There’s no Save button because everything saves automatically. Notes work without internet, and if two people edit the same note at once, Neela combines the changes and asks you only when the edits conflict.
Keep files with your notes. Add photos and documents to any note. They’re stored safely in the person’s Vault and show up in the note as buttons you can tap to open.
You decide who sees what. Share a note with the whole care network, with specific people, or keep it just for you with “Only me.” Sensitive ID numbers stay hidden until you tap Show.
See what changed. Check who edited a note and when, and bring back an earlier version if you need to.
Ask Neela about a note. Start a chat right from a note, and Neela will keep that note in mind for every question you ask.
Everything connects through notes
Scribe summaries are now notes. After you record a visit with Scribe, the summary becomes a note linked to that visit on your calendar. Edit it in Notes, and the recording’s summary updates too.
Calendar notes are real notes. Anything you type in an event’s Notes box is saved as a full note, and each event shows all the notes linked to it.
“One thing this week”
A gentle nudge, one step at a time. A new welcome screen suggests a single helpful thing to do next, like starting someone’s medicine list, so getting organized never feels overwhelming.
It shows up when it’s useful. You’ll see it right after you sign up, then no more than once a week. You can also open it anytime by tapping the sparkle icon on the Home screen.
Your choice, always. A weekly reminder takes you straight to it, and you can turn it on or off in Settings or Notification settings.
Choose how your lists look
View Notes, Tasks, Medications and Providers as a simple List, a Details view with more information, or Tiles for a quick visual scan.
Additional improvements
Invite people by text. You can now send care network invites as a link in a text message, not just by email.
V1.5: October 2026
Answers that fit your location, calendar time zones, & longer Apple Watch recordings
Your location
Neela now knows which country you're in
Add your country when you sign up or from your profile, starting with Canada. The people you care for are set to the same country automatically, and you can change theirs anytime.
Answers that fit where you live
Neela uses your country to give answers that make sense locally. Moved, or caring for someone abroad? Just tell Neela in chat and it will update your country for you.
Calendar
Every event in the right time zone
Coordinating care across time zones? Set a time zone for each event, so a 2:00 PM appointment in Vancouver shows up at the right time for family in Toronto.
Pick the exact minute
On the web, you can now set event times to the minute instead of in 15-minute steps.
Deleted events stay deleted
After a daylight saving time change, removing a single occurrence of a repeating event wasn't sticking. It would come back and keep sending reminders. That's fixed.
Apple Watch
Long recordings, no problem
Recordings from 45 to 90 minutes long sometimes failed to transcribe. Now they come through reliably, no matter the length.
Smoother uploads from your wrist
Watch recordings now line up and upload one by one, so nothing gets lost along the way.
AI assistant & chat
Deep search
Ask a bigger question and Neela will dig deeper to find a more complete answer.
Update your notes from chat
Ask Neela to add to or change a note, and it's done. No need to open the note yourself.
Plus fixes to how Neela handles your calendar, medications, and Scribe recordings in chat.
V1.4: September 2026
Smarter suggestions, real repeating events, and a safer way to manage medications.
AI assistant & chat
Smarter suggestions on your home screen
Suggestion chips are now pulled from what's happening in your account. The important ones stay put instead of scrolling away, so you're not hunting for the one that mattered.
A private way to ask, when you need it
Incognito chat keeps a conversation completely off the record. No history, no transcript, nothing saved for later.
Lab results, right in chat
Ask about a recent test and get your real recorded values, grouped by date, instead of a generic explainer.
Calendar
Repeating events, set up once
Daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Describe it in plain English and Neela sets up the whole series. Need to change just one occurrence, or the rest going forward? You choose, every time.
Medications
Catches duplicate medications automatically
If the same medication shows up twice, brand name vs. generic, a typo, different dosing, Neela flags it and helps you merge them, field by field. Nothing is deleted without you saying so, and every merge can be undone.
Easier import from spreadsheets and photos
Re-importing your medication list now matches it against what's already there instead of creating duplicates, with a clear summary of what changed.
Care network
Pin the people and notes that matter most
Pinned notes and providers stay at the top of the list, no matter how you sort, so the most important contact is never buried.
More control over Scribe recordings
Move a recording to the right person or delete it outright, whenever you need to.
Mobile & Apple Watch
Check reminders from your wrist
A dedicated notifications inbox on Apple Watch, with read status synced back to your phone automatically.
Fewer interruptions while you're in the app
Only time-sensitive reminders break through while you're actively using Neela. Everything else waits quietly in your notification shade.
Sign-in
Email sign-in that opens the app
Tap the link in your sign-in email and land straight in the Neela app, instead of getting stuck in a browser tab.
Plus a round of fixes across chat, calendar, and Scribe to keep things running smoothly.
