What's new, what's fixed, and what's coming. The full version history also lives in the app under Settings → About → Changelog.

Version 3.1

Coming Soon Summer 2026

A focused round of quality-of-life upgrades: a distraction-free focus mode, swipe to clear finished tasks, a Mac quick-add bar, and an auto-simplifying timer.

  • Focus Mode (iPhone & iPad): tap the empty space below your Today list, or tap the Today tab again, for a distraction-free view that hides everything but your tasks and start times. Rows go read-only; tap a task to reveal its circle and check it off.
  • Clear completed with a swipe: swipe any finished task in Today to log it (iPhone & iPad), or right-click and choose Log Task on Mac.
  • Quick-Add Bar on Mac: a persistent Add a task bar at the bottom of Today, every project, and the Inbox. It parses durations, dates, and times as you type, with quick priority and duration controls.
  • Auto-Simplify Timer: while a timer runs it collapses to just the countdown and task name; pausing brings the controls back. Optional status-bar hiding too.
  • Quick Delete: remove tasks instantly with no confirmation popup, and swiping a blank new task deletes it.
  • Adjustable title length: choose how many lines task and subtask titles show before they truncate (1 to 5).
  • Tidier Mac toolbar: an option to always collapse the Today toolbar into a single menu.
  • A cleaner timer screen, and a More Apps section in Settings that stays up to date from the App Store on its own.

Version 3.0

Summer 2026

The biggest update yet: turn photos of any list into tasks with Apple Intelligence, block distracting apps until your day is done, and a ground-up iCloud sync overhaul. Huge thanks to Emily, whose feedback and bug reports shaped so much of this release.

  • Scan Tasks from Image (Pro) — photograph handwritten notes, whiteboards, or screenshots and Set turns them into scheduled tasks. Reads planner layouts like "10.15 - Jogging" and "(30 min)" durations. On-device Apple Intelligence on supported devices, smart parsing everywhere else.
  • App Blocker (Pro, iPhone & iPad) — shield distracting apps with Screen Time while your task timer runs, or choose "Until Today is clear": apps stay blocked until every task in Today is complete. Turning it off requires typing a focus sentence.
  • AI notes rewriting (Pro) — one tap turns messy notes into clean structured markdown, or an actionable step-by-step checklist. On-device, always revertible.
  • Export any project or your Inbox as a beautifully formatted PDF — stages as sections, notes in full markdown styling with your colors, black & white printing option.
  • iCloud sync overhaul — duplicate tasks, events, and reminders across devices are gone; deletions stick everywhere; sync no longer resets your times or task order.
  • Undo & Redo across the whole app (⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z).
  • Drag a task onto the week strip arrows to page to any week; smoother drag & drop in projects.
  • Recurring task fixes: every-other-week repeats space correctly, monthly-on-a-date lands on the right day.
  • Choose your completed-task icon: classic tick or Set slash.

Version 2.3

June 2026

The sound update: a huge ambient library for the timer, plus an evening planning reminder and smarter overdue handling.

  • Over 50 new ambient timer sounds — Weather, Water, Nature, Atmospheres, and Rhythmic. Rain, thunderstorms, ocean waves, birdsong, crackling fire, and more.
  • Dynamic combo sounds (Rain & Thunder, Forest Night, Stormy Wind) layer random effects so every session sounds a little different.
  • Four binaural focus tones for headphones: Quiet Mind (theta), Calm (alpha), Focus (beta), Deep Focus (gamma).
  • Six coloured noises generated in real time — including brown noise, the ADHD community favourite.
  • Ambient sound button directly in the timer: browse and switch sounds live without pausing.
  • New evening plan reminder to set up tomorrow before you wind down.
  • Auto-move overdue tasks to Today (optional) — unfinished tasks from the past 7 days roll forward automatically.
  • Three new notification styles: Army Sergeant, Mob Boss, and Grandma.
  • Skip to Tomorrow swipe action, with an evening-hours option and undo.
  • In-app Changelog under Settings → About.

Version 2.2

Spring 2026

Redesigned task cards and rich markdown notes.

  • Redesigned expanded task card — cleaner layout, streamlined action bar, project/priority coloring.
  • Full-screen notes editor with a markdown formatting toolbar — double-tap the notes preview to open it.
  • Markdown styling settings: heading colors, bold color, and ==highlight== styles with custom colors.
  • Subtasks default to simple bullets; swipe right for a duration picker. Right-click subtasks on Mac for quick actions.
  • Six new Master achievements.
  • Long-press the plus button to create projects and stages faster.
  • Fixed subtask completion not syncing across devices.

Version 2.1

Early 2026

Your day, your hours — custom day boundaries and a smarter timer.

  • Custom day start and day end times — built for night owls.
  • Day-end overflow: adding a task past your day end offers to extend the day or move it to tomorrow.
  • Smarter timer that shows today’s tasks by default; play any task to add it temporarily.
  • Title parsing works with dictation — say "forty five minutes" and it understands.
  • Parse confirmation animations, persistent add-break mode, auto-scroll to new tasks.

Version 2.0

Late 2025

The foundation: automatic time-blocking, the flexible timer, projects with stages, statistics, and achievements.

  • Automatic timeline: star tasks for today and every task gets a start time, with your estimated finish always visible.
  • One-tap replanning from now.
  • Flexible task timer with elapsed and remaining time.
  • Projects with stages, subtasks, priorities, and smart title parsing ("gym at 6pm 45m").
  • Statistics, streaks-free achievements, widgets, and iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
