Features​

• You can now customize which calendars appear on the calendar in the mobile app
• There's now an option to move the blue "add" button to the left side of the screen (useful for left-handed people) in the mobile app

Improvements​

• The calendar in the mobile app now has an explicit "close" button instead of just a swipe gesture to close it
• Collapsing a section in the task list on the desktop now requires just a single click instead of double-clicking the section name to unify this interaction with the mobile app
• The goal list in the "Next to work on" overview on the desktop now orders goals by their due date and progress, which is much more useful compared to the previous sorting order by area's position and goal's position inside the area
• Swipe actions on tasks in the task list, notes in the note list, etc, now activate sooner, no longer requiring the finger to travel at least 50% of the screen width on tablets
• Minor visual and onboarding improvements

Fixes​

• Fixed a conflict between "scroll to now" and "scroll to added task" in the mobile app's calendar, which previously led to the calendar always scrolling to "now" instead of where a newly added time block was placed

• There's now an option to hide certain areas in the "Next to work on" overview – look for it in the area settings

Improvements​

• This update changes how our mobile app fetches your calendar events – instead of connecting via custom integrations with each calendar provider, the mobile app now syncs your calendar events with your system calendar app using native calendar SDKs on each platform
• The option or shortcut "we connected yesterday" was added to a person's right-click context menu (on desktop) and long-press actions menu (on mobile)
• Video-conference join call URL is now previewed in the calendar events item actions menu in the mobile app

Improvements​

Features​

• Time-blocking and a new calendar view are now available in the mobile app, allowing you to plan your day upfront minute by minute. The new calendar features drag-and-drop moving of time blocks, touch-based event resizing, pinch-to-zoom to see more or less events, actions to mark things as complete directly from the calendar, an option to join videoconference calls, and more. This is the initial release of this feature on mobile platforms, and it will be improved going forward. The main limitation of the new calendar is that time-blocking is available only for current day.
• You can now more easily interact with your task list and move tasks around using a new long-press actions menu – simply long-press a task in the list and move the task where you want it to be or pick from a few of most common actions like placing the task onto the calendar or starting a timer for 25 minutes

Improvements​

• Drawers (the left one with search and the new calendar drawer) can now be closed by pressing the back button on Android

• The "open link" button on tasks in the list in our desktop app was redesigned into an icon, taking up less space and visually differentiating it from the goal badge

• Gestures for opening drawers by sliding from the edge of the screen now have improved thresholds so they do not conflict with gestures for, for example, swiping left to delete a task
• Other minor onboarding and visual improvements

Fixes​

• The height of the task scheduling dropdown no longer jumps when switching months in the dropdown in the desktop app

• Fixed incorrect message shown in the desktop app's logbook when a user has between 43 and 100 completed tasks
• Drag and double-click behavior in the main menu on the top of our desktop app was improved to prevent accidental window moves and maximizations when clicking menu items

Improvements​

• Improved Wayland support on Linux

Fixes​

• Fixed text/note fields in the relationship tracker not updating properly when switching between different people on iOS and Android
• Fixed setting for enabling PIN protection on relationships not working correctly on iOS and Android

I'm happy to not have touched pricing for so long – actually since August 2021 when Lunatask got out of beta and pricing was introduced. I'm against frequent pricing updates and would ideally like to stick with one forever.

However, after three years of development and countless new features added, including support for all various platforms, I’m making a one-time adjustment to simplify and standardize our pricing.

When we set up our first payment gateway (Paddle), we displayed prices excluding VAT and sales tax – those are added during checkout based on your region. In contrast, prices in the App Store include taxes upfront. This led to discrepancies depending on where you subscribed.

To address this as well, we’re unifying our pricing while keeping a way for you to stay as close as possible to the original rate of $6/mo. If you switch to the yearly plan, you continue paying $6/mo even after the adjustment.

Here’s a breakdown of the adjusted pricing:

There’s nothing you need to do – on your next renewal, you will automatically be charged the new price. All percentage discounts, like our education discount, stay in place and the new price will be calculated accordingly.

As always, I appreciate your support as I continue developing the app that helps you get stuff done, everyday.

P.S. Stay tuned! This change comes alongside exciting new features like time blocking and a calendar in mobile apps, as well as a redesigned and vastly improved note-taking experience that is coming early in 2025 and more! 🚀
