Full Changelog: v18.0.0...v18.0.0
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)
Clickable Links in Task Titles
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)
