Release notes

What each version changed. The same notes as Settings › About › Release notes on the phone.

0.8.2

  • Settings › About › Release notes is redone: the top says which version you are on and whether it is the latest, and below every version lists what it changed, updates over the air included.
  • When a new version is ready, a card slides down at the top with its version number: restart right away, or it tucks itself away after 10 seconds.

0.8.1

  • To add something, tap the round + at the bottom right of Now: write in a half-screen card on the keyboard, drag it up for the whole page (time, reminder, subtasks, photos and files); anything unfinished stays a draft.
  • The calendar is back in the drawer, under Now; Now's week strip only picks the day, and the list follows it.
  • Settings follow the desktop's sections, with new General and About pages; rows look plain by default and can switch back to the spine.
  • Tasks, events and logs from shared Spaces can show on your Now and calendar; turn it on or off per Space in Settings › General.

0.8.0

  • Whiteboards: Now and every Space have one. Place what you want in view and group it into areas; phone and computer share it, and Koto-chan reads it while you look at it.
  • Space page: Materials and Ask Koto-chan now sit just above the ask box.
  • Calendar: with an event selected, swipe sideways to change the day.

0.7.0

  • Shared Spaces: make a Space and send a link to work in it together. Tasks are shared; everyone plans their own day.
  • Reminders: give a task a time and your phone rings then, with Done and In 1 hour on the notification.
  • A rebuilt Space page with sub-Spaces, search, materials and calendars, and chips at the top of the task page.

0.6.4

  • Connect accounts on the phone: add GitHub and Google in Settings › Connections and pick the calendars to use.
  • A service can have several accounts, such as your own and your school's; each is authorized and disconnected on its own, and Now says which one needs authorizing again.
  • Clearer update prompts: a new version is announced once, with notes in the app's language.

0.6.3

  • Connect a Google account on Web or Mac and its calendars show on the phone's Now and calendar pages, read-only.
  • 0.6.2 cannot read a Google account's calendars; install this build once an account is connected.
  • On Web and Mac the assistant now thinks out loud step by step, the same way as on the phone.

0.6.2

  • You no longer get signed out every few days: the session renews while you use the app, and after it expires this phone renews it in the background, without your password.
  • Opening the app offline or while the server is slow no longer signs you out; you get in once it is back.
  • Tasks without a date stay in Unplanned on Now; tap Do today at the end of the row to plan one for today.
  • While Koto-chan thinks she says step by step what she is doing, and folds it into one line when she answers; the conversation page is smoother too.
  • Change the assistant's name, how she addresses you and her tone in Settings.
  • From this version on, staging data is kept instead of cleared.

0.6.1

  • No more tab bar: switch pages from the drawer and ask right at the bottom of Now; the calendar opens out of the week strip, with day, three-day, month and list views.
  • A task's plan day and deadline are separate: Now lists the tasks planned for today, and missed plan days move to Needs attention.
  • Task page on the phone: tap the circle next to the title to complete a task; the date panel at the bottom picks common days, months and a deadline time.
  • The assistant Koto-chan has a full-page conversation and a glass input box, and can look at pictures.
  • Staging data was cleared: sign up and sign in again. 0.5.x builds no longer work.
