Lunatask for iOS and Android, our mobile apps, are now officially out of beta and available on the App Store and Play Store.

Features​

• iOS and Android apps are getting notifications (for time-blocked tasks and scheduled habits only for now). Notifications for birthdays and anniversaries will arrive later. Notifications right now also do not include end-to-end encrypted data like task or habit names. You can enable notifications by visiting the notifications section in the mobile app's settings.
• You can now filter the logbook to show only completed tasks for a specific area (this feature is available in the desktop app)
• You can now pause a reconnect reminder for any person without removing the reconnect rule altogether
• You can now schedule at what times of the day you perform your habits in the mobile app
• The people hierarchy/grid can now be filtered to show only business/work contacts
• There's now a Habit Tracking API

Improvements​

• On iOS and Android, there's now a new button in the list of tasks beneath each goal that will take you to the list above, the main list of tasks for the area
• All entered settings for newly created CalDAV integrations are end-to-end encrypted (see the note below)
• Improvements to new user onboarding

Fixes​

• Fixed record streak calculation for weekly habits not working correctly
• Fixed partitioning habits between active and not occurring on the day not handling weekly habits well in the mobile app
• Fixed the scroll-to-cursor functionality of the mobile app's editor on certain devices

Encryption for iCloud, Fastmail, and CalDAV integrations​

Previously, iCloud, Fastmail, and CalDAV integrations encrypted entered passwords end-to-end but not usernames or server URLs (in the case of CalDAV integrations). All newly created iCloud, Fastmail, and CalDAV calendar integrations now encrypt end-to-end all configuration settings entered (including server URLs).

To keep backward compatibility, all iCloud, Fastmail, and CalDAV integrations created in the past will be marked as "legacy" integrations in the settings and show a warning message recommending upgrading the integration to a fully end-to-end encrypted version.

Versioning update​

As of this update, we are unifying the versioning of both desktop and mobile apps. From now on, all future versions of Lunatask will be released on all platforms simultaneously under the same version number. As of this update, changes in the mobile app are being published as part of the changelog on the website, not just in the Slack Community.

Improvements​

• The behavior of many-times habits in the habit widget at the bottom of the calendar was improved. Now the habit widget will continue suggesting habits until their goal is met or "skip today" is pressed.
• Double-clicking on the main menu toolbar on the top now maximizes the window

Fixes​

• Fixed a wrong label on the badge indicating a subscription's state saying "canceled," even for some active subscription
• Fixed completing habits in the habit tracker marking wrong time blocks as complete
• Fixed completing habits in the habit tracker duplicating a time block on the calendar sometimes
• Fixed notifications being triggered for already completed time blocks on the calendar
• Fixed the habit widget at the bottom of the calendar offering many-times habits even when their week's goal was already met
• Fixed in-app success notification after deleting areas being shown twice
• Fixed protected notebooks, journal, and relationship tracking not locking when the app is backgrounded due to a change in Electron where turning off background throttling prevents the app from reading its background/foreground status
• Fixed good morning messages not being shown anymore for the same background throttling reason
• There's now an option to disable GPU acceleration in the diagnostics section of the settings (enabled by default for Linux users to avoid issues and visual glitches some snap users experience caused by a specific combination of using snaps, Electron, and certain GPU drivers)

Notes​

The v2.0.8 update is a re-release of this update with one additional regression fixed.

Improvements​

Fixes​

• Fixed habit time blocks reappearing when moved on the calendar from tomorrow to today or vice-versa
• Fixed archived goals showing among active goals in the "set goal" right-click context submenu
• Fixed calendar open task button not jumping to task when in another goal
• Pulsing task timer badge animation was disabled for now because of high CPU usage
• Missing right-click context menus were added to journal entry, memory, and note name inputs

• There's now a warning that a "once" habit was already completed before when tracking activities from the calendar instead of the button doing nothing
• The mini calendar in the dropdown for selecting a last reconnect date now always opens on a current month for easier entering of the new date, instead of the month of the previous last reconnect date

Notes​

Improvements​

• When a goal is no longer needed, you can now archive it instead of deleting it completely. Archived goals are hidden by default in the list of goals with the option to show them.
• You can now move goals between areas and goals are also preserved and moved when deleting areas and choosing to keep tasks. The option to move a goal can be found in the right-click context menu on individual goal cards in the goal list on the left.
