<aside> 📲 v1.0.44 on the App Store

</aside>

New

• The top bar has been refreshed to be more compatible with platform conventions as well as meet general expectations for a smoother onboarding. This encompasses a few things:

  • The system status bar is permanently visible.
  • The menu button is universally accessible, and in a more conventional top-left location. As a result, options pop in from the left too in a refreshed appearance.
  • Screen titles are now center-aligned.
  • Opening up the calendar from the top has a discoverable icon on the right. You can still tap on the title or drag from anywhere too.
  • As a result of these changes, the ability to [Schedule] your anytime tasks for today, or your unschedule/slipped items in the Inbox have in-line actions to activate the mode. Confirming this action via [Done] is within the content area too, in the style/position iOS users would be generally accustomed to.

• State saving of views across the UX. The motivation was to silently accommodate your preferences as well as to facilitate picking up where you left off. So, for example, if your preferred calendar view is the Day, then the app will resume there. Here is the full list of areas whose states are saved:

  • Last tab you were on
  • Last view you were on in each tab
  • Last group on filters you were on on both tabs
  • Last state of top bar (collapsed, week or month)

  We’ll monitor feedback before determining which of the above (if any) require their own settings so you can explicitly define/override these for a new app launch. Let us know what you think and how it feels currently.

Improvements

• Improved overall stability so to significantly reduce the possibility of a memory leak resulting in a crash.
• Size of keyboard in split-screen scheduling mode should be consistent across the iOS device family, and never take too much/little space.
• Transition out of calendar selection sheet should be smoother.
• When you have filters open, tapping on its icon will clear all your filters (you don’t need to go through them one-by-one anymore). Previously this would collapse the filters but keep them active. Based on user feedback, there was sometimes confusion on how to clear them, and as there was little demand for having the ability to have filters active but its UI collapsed, we think this is the right move for most.

Fixed

• Crash fixes when on Day or Week calendar views, as well as on a time (entry) keyboard. Wouldn’t happen much, but what was causing them before should no longer happen.
• Top bar should become draggable again when you return to Calendar from Inbox.
• When you add an entry through Discover, the next time you open an entry session, it should pre-populate the title field with the name of what you last added through Discover.
• When you mark a task as complete from its system notification, the app should pick up this state change immediately.
• When you change your selected calendars, this should be reflected in your schedule for what’s remaining today.
• If you were on the Day or Week views, move to the Inbox and then hit [+], it should not pre-populate a date.
• When you have navigated to a previous/upcoming week/month on the calendar pulldown and press [Back to today], the calendar should update.
