Features​

• Linking has arrived! You can now easily link notes in other notes, or tasks, people in journal entries, areas, goals, and beyond – just search for any entity in the insert link dropdown of our editor

Improvements​

• Creating new areas, goals, and tasks is now streamlined — all options are available from a single dropdown accessed via the large blue Add button in the desktop app
• We’ve redesigned the dropdown menu for adding new journal entries or happy memories in the desktop app's journal, as well as the dropdown for adding person notes or memories to a person’s timeline
• Dialogs for editing people's names or inserting images and links in the editor were redesigned in the mobile app too

• Fixed an issue where recurring tasks with a future start date didn’t move to the bottom of “Later“ when originally in “Now“

Features​

• "Next to work on" overview now features a "done today" section at the bottom of the list

Improvements​

• The "add" icon for adding a new area or goal now shows upon hovering over the whole area or goal list (not just their headers) in the desktop app
• In the mobile app, the action sheet for adding a new person timeline note or happy memory in person's profile now features a description of both entities and what to use each for

Fixes​

• Fixed the editor not making space for the keyboard when opened, making a large chunk of text at the end of a note/journal entry/etc inaccessible since the last update
• "Show inside area/goal" actions in the long-press action sheet on tasks were fixed, as they were not scrolling to the task after navigating inside the area or goal in the mobile app as of a recent update
• Fixed a race condition in the new data storage layer introduced in the last update, causing some internal or UI related states not to be persisted between mobile app restarts in some cases

Features​

• You can now view additional details and edit calendar events from external calendars directly on our mobile app's calendar
• Native support has been added for embedding images hosted on Nextcloud

Improvements​

• The UI of the Android app was refreshed – no more sharp edges, proper platform-specific back buttons were added, and more
• The look of many mobile app's screens was updated (especially in the settings and relationship tracker)
• Many UI components were visually updated (for example, task priority picker, PIN code input, and more)
• Significant performance and reliability improvements to data syncing across all our apps — especially beneficial for Android users with battery optimization enabled, where limited background time previously hindered proper syncing and data storage.
• To simplify the workflow, the 'Later Today' calendar in the mobile app’s left drawer no longer displays past time blocks that haven't been marked as complete
• Long-press gestures to open action sheets now detect the gesture and open faster in our mobile app

• Resolved an issue in the desktop app where jumping or scrolling to a journal entry or happy memory from search results was not working correctly since a recent update
• Fixed an issue where the task name on the task timer screen did not reflect updates made in the task detail in the mobile app
• Spacing between formatting toolbar items now automatically adjusts and shrinks on smaller screens to fit everything in nicely in the mobile app

Notes​

This update introduces a completely redesigned data storage layer in our mobile app, rebuilt from the ground up for improved performance and reliability. As a result, you’ll be asked to log in again after updating. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.

Features​

• Opportunities to connect: Our mobile app now features a new streamlined no-noise overview of opportunities to connect in its relationship tracker

Improvements​

• Formatting toolbar now allows inserting a link even when no text is selected
• There's a new documentation page with tutorials on how to create image share links and embed URLs for Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox – you can find it here

Fixes​

• Formatting toolbar and its option to insert a link now correctly handles and treats as valid links with custom protocols (e.g. obsidian://open?vault=foo&file=bar)
• Fixed links using xmpp: protocol being incorrectly picked up by our email handling logic and treated as email addresses

• This update introduces the ability to change your master password directly within the mobile app, instead of directing you to make this change in our desktop app

• There’s now a Create Journal Entry API – feel free to use it to import your existing journal entries into Lunatask

Improvements​

• On macOS, the menu bar item when a task timer is running was redesigned and no longer includes a task’s name to shorten it and save that precious menu bar space (especially on the newest MacBooks with a notch for the camera)
• The order of statuses in status pickers is now consistent with how they are shown in the task list (specifically, where the "Waiting" section is placed)
• Sorting of tasks in the "pinned" section of the task list now takes assigned date into account
• Schedules/Deferred tasks whose date has already come now show on top of the task list in Priority List workflow
• When a task timer is started either via F keyboard shortcut (in the desktop app) or using the dedicated screen (on mobile), the timer's length no longer defaults to 25 minutes for tasks with estimates shorter than that (e.g. 10 minutes). The timer now respects and takes the estimated remaining time into account.
• Work-in-progress limit feature is no longer automatically enabled for newly created accounts (it is now opt-in instead of opt-out), and there's now a better onboarding into it
• Minor reliability improvements to data sync

Fixes​

The v2.1.0 update is mainly a complete internal rewrite of our Markdown editor.

This initial version aims to enhance note-taking experience in Lunatask while at the same time introducing several new features, including tables, image embedding, link editing, additional formatting options, and many more (see below).

It also opens up exciting new possibilities going forward, such as deep-linking, embedding full tasks inside notes, slash menu, and more. It will be continuously improved and built upon in coming weeks and months.

New features​

• You can now insert images from remote sources (URLs) into notes, task descriptions, and journal entries. Dropbox share links are natively supported, OneDrive embed URLs too, as well as Google Drive share links (rate limits might apply on Google Drive, though).
• Yellow highlight (with Markdown support) was added besides existing bold, italic, and strikethrough basic formatting
• Quote/blockquote element was added, as well as a beautiful horizontal line/divider
• Basic support for simple tables was added (more powerful table operations like cell merging are not available due to limitations of the underlying Markdown persistence format)
• Syntax highlighting is now available in code blocks with the ability to choose a programming language. Although, this is just a first version that will be improved upon, color scheme will change in the future, etc.
• Smart text replacement as you type was added (double dashes automatically convert to endash, -> into →, 1/2 into ½, != into ≠, and many more)
• Smart text wrapping was added. You can now select text and press ( or " to wrap the selection in parentheses or quotes. This works for [, {, and < too.
• The editor now supports Markdown pasting

Improvements​

• Formatting toolbar was redesigned to be clean and minimalist with dropdown menus
• There's now a UI for creating/editing links
• Bullet lists can now be converted to checklists and vice-versa (at least in simple cases)
• Pressing Tab in code blocks now indents the line, making it easier to write code
• Editor's keyboard shortcuts were redesigned and more standardized with other apps
• The editor is now more flexible in how elements can be nested (for example, you can now have inline code inside a heading or a code block inside a quote)
• The formatting toolbar is now properly sticky without flickering while scrolling in the mobile app
• Header shadows when scrolling were standardized and fixed in many places in the mobile app
• Improved conflict where a text selection bubble menu on iOS overflowed the formatting toolbar, making it impossible to add formatting to the first line of text
• Improvements to email integration, so incoming emails are displayed much more nicely in the app with the new editor
• Other minor improvements and visual fixes across the board

Known issues​

• Checking a checkmark in a note moves focus to the end of note for no reason sometime (in the mobile app)
• Dropdown menus of the formatting toolbar do not respect dark mode (Android only)
• Not available formatting options at the current caret position are not dimmed out or otherwise visually indicated in dropdown menus in formatting toolbar (Android only)
• Editing the text of an existing link is a bit clunky in the mobile app due to the editor's default behavior of automatically opening the link on press
• Creating a code block using a "three backticks" Markdown syntax incorrectly inserts caret after the code block and not inside it (it works correctly when a code block is inserted via the formatting toolbar)
• The visuals for when an image fails to load are not yet polished and finalized (especially on mobile)
• When a text is highlighted and you go create a link (in the desktop app), the selection disappears visually, but it is still there. When you type or paste the URL into the dropdown for creating links, it will correctly create a link and re-highlight the text.
• Code blocks on Windows have unnecessary horizontal scrollbar even when not needed
• There's a very minor issue in Markdown parser where empty checklist items (those without any text) do not get parsed correctly after note reload
• Tables in dark mode in the desktop app in journal entries and journal template edit modal do not look great because of different background color being in different places (in tasks, notes, and journal entries). Here, table's colors conflict with background color of journal entries, borders have bad contrast, etc.

Note on new paragraph handling​

The editor now handles new paragraphs differently and in a standardized way that is more compatible with Markdown's general approach.

When pressing Enter, a new paragraph is inserted and visually separated from previous paragraphs. If you wish to insert just a line break (i.e. make a new line, not a new paragraph), use Shift-Enter.

Note on Outlook integration issues​

As a part of deprecating/removing Skype, Microsoft broke their Graph API endpoint for fetching users' calendars a few weeks ago, resulting in their Graph API erroring out with a 500 error. Lunatask was not the only app affected – even dedicated calendar apps have been impacted by this issue.

The v2.1.0 update implements a workaround, and our Outlook integration should now work smoothly again. Now, it is still upon Microsoft to properly fix the problem on their end, but it should no longer affect our users.

Note on iOS/iPadOS 26 support​

Since WWDC25 is behind us, it is worth noting that the mobile app is not yet compatible with iOS/iPadOS 26. The app uses third-party libraries (for example, for dropdown menus in the new formatting toolbar), and those libraries we rely on need to ensure iOS/iPadOS 26 compatibility first.

Support and bug reports​

Since this is a complete internal rewrite and all the editor's code is brand new, expect there might be some additional issues. We are watching this closely and listening. Patch updates will follow shortly, but we rely on your feedback and bug reports.

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
• Fixed placing a task from search results on the calendar for planning it into your day not opening the calendar in the mobile app
• Fixed pressing "show more" in search results in the mobile app opening a blank modal window for no reason

Features​

• Area filter was added to the logbook on iOS and Android
• You can now change the default time block length for tasks without an estimate when placed on the calendar on iOS and Android

Improvements​

• The calendar scrolls to "now" after 20 seconds of inactivity (not interacting with the calendar, previously 10 seconds) in the desktop app
• The option to change "how close we are" with people is now also on the person editing screen (right below first name and last name) on iOS and Android
