What’s Changed

New Zen Theme

A brand-new Zen theme brings a clean, minimal aesthetic with transparent task backgrounds, flattened panels and dialogs, lighter elevated surfaces in dark mode, and subtle styling refinements throughout — from the sidenav milkglass effect to border-free repeat projections and calendar events.

Redesigned Onboarding

First-time users now get a much smoother start:

  • A preset selection screen lets you pick your workflow style right away
  • Localized example tasks are created on first run so the app feels alive immediately
  • Lightweight onboarding hints guide you through the basics, including mobile gesture hints
  • The privacy hint is shown upfront, and the persistence snack bar no longer interrupts the flow

Automations

A new automations system lets you set up rules that automatically perform actions based on triggers — saving you repetitive manual steps. (#6784)

URLs inside task titles are now rendered as clickable links, so you can jump straight to related resources without opening the task details. (#6570)

Better Mobile Experience

Mobile got a lot of love in this release:

  • Swipe-right strikethrough — a dynamic gesture to mark tasks as done
  • Context menus now have a proper backdrop, animation, and highlight on mobile
  • Drag-and-drop is locked to the Y-axis on small screens for smoother reordering
  • Hover controls are hidden on touch-only devices (no more ghost buttons)
  • Tapping outside the bottom panel now saves the task title
  • Autofocus is disabled on touch devices to prevent the keyboard from popping up in dialogs
  • The add-task bar no longer scrolls to the top when closed on touch devices

Task & Planner Improvements

  • Deadline support in task views — sort, group, and filter by deadline (#6912)
  • Done-toggle circle replaces the old drag handle, with a progress ring and play indicator
  • The planner calendar keeps a consistent height and the drag timespan preview now shows how long a scheduled block will be (#6885)
  • Sub-tasks are visually distinct in search results (#6786)
  • Planning mode is removed — the global add-task bar is always available

Issue Provider Upgrades

  • Configurable polling mode — choose how often issue providers check for updates
  • Default tags and notes can now be set for imported issues (#6906)
  • Two-way field sync and remote issue deletion support for plugins
  • Google Calendar provider is now a bundled plugin with a renamed ICAL button
  • Banner flickering on action change is fixed (#6911)

Color Picker

The native browser color input has been replaced with a friendlier swatch picker, and the Today tag color is now used as the initial Material theme primary color.

Focus Mode

  • The timer under the focus icon now resets to zero after a break (#6939)
  • The timer keeps running past the configured duration when manual breaks are enabled

Repeat Task Config

The repeat/recurring task configuration dialog has improved UX making it easier to set up recurring tasks.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Comments

You can now use Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I to bold and italicize text in task comments. (#6712)

Resizable Overlay

The always-on-top overlay window is now resizable with adjustable opacity and an always-show option.

Schedule Drag Preview

When dragging a task on the schedule, you now see a timespan preview showing the duration of the block you’re creating. (#6885)

Android

  • Background sync notifications — reminders can now be scheduled and shown from background sync
  • Fixed foreground service crash (ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException)
  • Reminder alarms are more reliable with proper cancel/schedule intent matching
  • Stale checks no longer suppress valid notifications
  • Sound now works on iOS local notifications too

Sync & Reliability

  • False “in sync” status when sync errors occur is fixed (#6571)
  • Move operations are more reliable during sync
  • Transient server errors no longer wipe your auth credentials
  • Sync server deployment is hardened with Caddyfile validation and container checks
  • Markdown file sync no longer crashes when adding subtasks during sync oscillation

Plugins & Community

  • Obsidian Integration plugin added to community plugins (#6946)
  • StudyForge Leaderboard plugin (#6899)
  • Google OAuth on mobile now uses the system browser with loopback redirect
  • Plugin dialogs no longer close immediately on small screens
  • Plugin form inputs match the main app styling

Security & Stability

  • Electron: web security re-enabled, permission handler added, certificate logging improved
  • Preload script bundled with esbuild for sandbox mode support
  • Memory leaks fixed and magic numbers extracted to constants (#6923)
  • Data validation: dueDay/deadlineDay format is validated on write to prevent false overdue states (#6908)
  • Done sound pitch is capped to prevent inaudible high frequencies (#6926)
  • CSV work log export now handles Chinese characters correctly (#6874)
  • Text-to-speech rate default added for better clarity (#6557)
  • Improved loading screen logo visibility on both light and dark system themes

Under the Hood

  • Angular dependencies upgraded to latest versions
  • Capacitor updated
  • Voice reminder extracted to a standalone plugin
  • Various E2E test fixes and onboarding suppression for test helpers
