Features​

• The integration with Google Calendar is here. Now you can see all your tasks and events for the day in one place in Lunatask. We also extract conferencing options from events and display a button to quickly jump to Zoom or Google Meet rooms with a single click.
• Support for Time Blocking workflow has been added by allowing users to drag tasks onto the calendar. The calendar will automatically calculate the time needed to complete a task based on its estimate.

Improvements​

• Eisenhower Matrix task list grouping and corresponding Eisenhower Method workflow have been added
• We re-imagined the global search window so that it searches through both tasks and notes at the same time

Improvements​

• Added the ability to add tasks directly into a certain section. Just hover over the section name and the plus button to add a new task appears.
• Motivation can be now assigned to due tasks in "By motivation" grouping
• Due to the fact that new users easily forget there is a toolbar to change area grouping or sorts, it no longer hides by default. You can choose to turn it back on in the settings.

• Added support for headings of all levels to task description and note editors

Fixes​

• In task description and node editors, clicking emails now opens the email client, not the browser
• Auto-linking in lists and checkboxes has been fixed
• The updater has been fixed to not throw an error when run multiple times simultaneously

Features​

• Added recurring tasks. You can now schedule tasks to repeat every month on the last day, or every Monday and Friday, or anyhow else you wish.

Fixes​

• We fixed the planned tasks badge not including due tasks from the scheduled section

Features​

• Added ability to pin the tasks to the top of the list
• Added habits with weekly recurrence (both once a week and many times a week)
• Added option to delete your account in the settings

Improvements​

• Task scheduling is now available also in By motivation grouping, therefore making it available in all groupings
• Scheduled tasks for which the date is already here or in the past are now shown on top of the list. Previously, when the date came, the tasks were moved automatically to their previous status (or Next), possibly out of sight. Now it's up to you to decide what to do with such a task when the time comes.
• The work-in-progress limit is now available also in Now/Later grouping, not just in By status

Improvements​

• You can now select all tasks in the list with CMD+A (on Mac) or Ctrl+A (on Windows)
• Added new shortcuts to create a new task in the task list. As an alternative to already existing CMD+N/Ctrl+N, you can press either N (stands for New) or A (stands for Add). All of the three shortcuts do the same thing, so it's up to you which one you prefer.
• Added menu option to clear all local data. This resets the local installation of Lunatask clearing all data and configuration (it does not delete any data in your account). Might be useful sometimes in a case when the application ends in an error state. Usually, sign out should do the same thing.
• In our quest to be a privacy-focused tool, we removed Google Analytics from our website to prevent Google from tracking our users
• More consistent area icon sizes in the menu

The latest update brings Lunatask one step closer to become an open platform, as well as it brings updates to task list, habit tracker, and enhanced security.

Features​

• Added support for custom lists (we name them Areas of Life). When you sign up for Lunatask, your two default areas (personal and work-related tasks) will be still present, however, with Lunatask 0.6, you can add your own. Working for multiple clients or want to track education-related tasks separately? No problem with our new custom Areas of Life.

• Added developer-friendly Public API. Those more tech-savvy among you, you can now build integrations that will bring tasks from your favorite tools into Lunatask automatically. This is a foundation to make Lunatask an open platform and going forward you can expect some native integration as well!

• Added Idea Voting Portal which serves as a public roadmap where you can see and influence what we build next Improvements

• Habit Tracker now shows your record streak for each habit to keep you motivated to beat your past record. Streak calculation was also rewritten to take habit recurrence into account.

• Enabling us to build Public API and future integrations we rewrote the end-to-end encryption which protects your data. Previously, AES-256-GCM+PBKDF2 algorithms were used. Starting with 0.6 the cryptography algorithms used are Curve25519+XSalsa20+Poly1305+argon2id. Accounts created with earlier versions of Lunatask will be prompted to undergo a short migration when updating to Lunatask 0.6 or later.

• Your task list configuration (workflow, grouping and sort) is now stored remotely and synced to all devices

• New icons in task list footer to indicate better what is what

• Login and account setup flow window is now draggable

Notes​

It seems that the auto-updater again was misbehaving in 0.5.1 and 0.5.2. The issue was fixed in 0.5.3, if you have a trouble updating Lunatask, please, download new version from the website manually. Apologies for the inconvenience, we will keep a closer eye on him next time!
