Features​

• Lunatask for Windows is now available also on the Microsoft Store

Fixes​

• Fixed possible data inconsistency after when area is deleted that could cause the task list to crash

Features​

• System notifications when time-blocked tasks or habits start were added

Features​

• The energy level tracker was added to the mood tracker. Track your energy levels and see how your new habits affect them.
• Automatic habit time blocking is here with the option to schedule habits at a specific time of day added to the habit settings. If the habit is recurring on the day, it will show automatically in the calendar at the time set, no need to time block it manually.
• You can now also set how much time the habit will take to complete each day in the habit settings. When set, it will affect how long the habit appears in the calendar.
• Notebooks can now be marked as password-protected. All notes in Lunatask are end-to-end encrypted by default. Additionally, you can now require a master password to be entered every time a private notebook is accessed for an extra level of security, for example, in case someone would find your computer unlocked on your desk while you make a coffee in the kitchen. Notes from password-protected notebooks can still be found using the search, but do not show in All Notes.

• The color of neutral emotions in the mood tracker was changed from grey to light blue due to contrast issues, especially in the dark mode

• Onboarding guide explaining Time Blocking was added
• Welcome screen after the user signs up for the first time was improved
