What’s New in Version 8.2.0

1. Mesocycle Creation Drafts (#732)

Configuring a complex 6-week training split with customized exercise selections, volume landmarks, and progression schemes takes careful planning. If you get interrupted, ELVT now automatically saves your progress as a draft. Resume editing anytime directly from the creation banner or mesocycle list.

2. Startup Cloud Backup Restore (#753)

Switching devices or setting up a new phone? You can now restore your Google Drive cloud backup directly from the welcome onboarding screen without having to complete default setup first.

3. Flat Material 3 UI Overhaul

We redesigned every component in the app with modern Material 3 aesthetics:

• Borderless tonal surface hierarchy for high-contrast readability in dark gym lighting.
• Superellipse curvature on buttons, cards, and modal dialogs.
• Optimized vector icon morphing for play/pause/resume workout timer actions.
• High-performance memoized SVG muscle heatmaps rendering smoothly at 60fps.
