New features
Home is the hub
The Archive | Tasks switch is gone. Home has a card for each area, and the logo always brings you back. Inside an area, the top bar shows where you are and only that area's navigation: the collection strip appears only in the Archive.
- Archive shows your collection and entry counts and some of your covers.
- To Do shows how much of My Day is left.
- Arcade shows your coin balance.
An Archive page
All your collections, your most recent entry and the create and arrange buttons are now on one page.
A separate Tasks workspace
Use the Archive | Tasks switch beside the logo. Each side remembers where you were. The logo still takes you to Home. Tasks keeps its own lists, separate from entry checklists and cover progress.
Lists and groups
Every task lives in exactly one list. Inbox is always there; create, rename, color, reorder and delete your own lists, and put them in groups.
- Drag lists and groups in the sidebar, or use Move up/down and Move to group from their menus. Order and collapsed groups are saved to your account.
- Deleting a group keeps its lists. Deleting a list asks first and says how many tasks, steps and notes go with it.
Tasks, steps and notes
Open a task to edit its title, steps, due date, list, notes and linked archive entry. Completing every step offers to complete the task, but never does it on its own.
- Notes use the same live Markdown editor as the archive. They save automatically and keep a local copy until saved. If another device changed them, you choose which version to keep.
- Reorder tasks by dragging in a list or with Alt+↑/↓. A collapsible Completed section keeps finished work out of the way.
- Use “Add multiple” or paste several lines; “- [x]” lines are added as completed.
Smart views
My Day holds what you pick for today, whatever the due date, and starts empty each new day. Important shows starred open tasks, Planned groups due tasks into overdue, today and later, All shows every open task, and Completed lists finished tasks by completion date.
- Outside its own list, a task shows which list it belongs to.
Improvements
To Do keeps only the views you use
My Day, Important and Planned stay, followed by your lists and groups. Inbox is no longer special. If it had tasks, it is now a normal list named Inbox that you can rename, move or delete. An empty Inbox was removed and won't come back.
- Completed tasks are shown under each list, in a section you can collapse.
- When you add a task in a smart view, it goes to the last list you used. You can pick a different list right next to the input. If you have no lists yet, you can create one there.
- Old links to Inbox, All or Completed still work. They open the list named Inbox if you have one, or My Day.
Calmer layout
The sidebar has clearer group headings and fewer buttons. New list is still at the bottom, and New group is in its menu. Task rows show less extra information. The details panel opens only when you select a task, and on phones it fills the screen.
My Day on Home, and a time zone setting
An optional My Day section can be turned on under Customize Home. A new Time zone setting decides when the day rolls over; by default it follows your device.
