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
  • Scrollbars were removed completely from Windows and Linux versions. Since the early days, no scrollbar was ever shown in the habit tracker and the calendar. Since we received no complaints, in this release we are removing them from everywhere. Please, reach out if this poses a problem for you.
