Features

  • Added "tomorrow" calendar and support for time blocking one day ahead. When the calendar sidebar is resized and made large enough, tomorrow appears, allowing you to plan out tomorrow hour by hour.
  • You can now track progress on tasks. Either you can set the progress manually (e.g. 40%), or it will be automatically calculated from the number of completed subtasks (in that case, the indicator will be shown slightly dimmed)
  • Journal can now be PIN-protected. You can set up a four-digit PIN and mark the journal as PIN-protected in the settings.
  • Calendar and quick note sidebars are now independently resizable
  • You can now drag and drop tasks between different sections and lists
  • Tasks now show how old they are all the time (in days, that's the number right of the task name). It makes the prioritization system better shine through and easier to follow.
  • Note content is now previewed in the note list
  • Pinned tasks and notes are now free features for all users

Improvements

  • You can now choose from 4000+ icons for your areas and notebooks
  • Interacting with workflows was simplified, resulting in the removal of the grouping picker

  • Other minor changes and visual improvements

Fixes

  • For scheduled and repeating tasks, prioritization now uses the date visible on the task to calculate its age instead of the actual date when the task was created

  • Removed Ctrl+N shortcut to create new tasks or notes on Mac to avoid conflict with emacs bindings to move the cursor
  • Fixed an issue causing causing dates on tasks shifting when traveling between timezones
