Release 2.45

👋 Goodbye Snooze! Hello, Time Frames! 🤩

With this release, we're taking task planning to the next level! Plan far into the future while staying in control of your schedule.
🗓️ Introducing Time Frames
  • Organize tasks by week or month
    right from your Inbox.
  • Assign tasks to future time frames and easily revisit them in your Rituals or on the Upcoming Page.

⌨️ Natural Language & Task Planning
  • Plan tasks using natural language
    : "this week", "next month", "2nd week of June", "W34", "Someday", and more.
  • Enhanced recognition for phrases like "next week", "in 2 months", or "next quarter" to
    place tasks in time frames
    instead of a specific day.
  • Planning tasks is now easier
    from anywhere: Inbox, command bar, or the task popup. We suggest the right time frames and time slots to fit your workflow.
  • Improved task
    plan badges
    : Clearer display of days, weeks, and months without clutter.
đź‘‹ Farewell to Snooze
Snooze was a great procrastination ally, so we’ve removed it together with the
S
and
H
shortcuts.
  • What happened to my snoozed tasks?
    Don't worry! All your snoozed tasks have been planned to their original snoozed date.
  • Someday tasks are now part of the new Plan options
    . All tasks previously in Someday remain accessible on the Upcoming Page.
🔜 Revamped Upcoming Page
We've overhauled the Upcoming page to make planning even smoother, adding new views and customization options:
  • New views
    : Switch between Overview (time frames), Days (old Upcoming view), Weeks, and Months.
  • Side Time Frame:
    While in Days, open your Week timeframe on the side to quickly check and move tasks between views.
  • Customize your calendar:
    Choose how many days to display and resize the calendar to create your ideal planning view.
