Changelog

2025.03

• Fix a bug that could cause Project Details screen to hang when closing a project

2025.02 (BETA ONLY)

2025.01

• Fix a crash when saving changes to project details

2024.07

• Users can now add new contexts via the Tools Tab. As they should! Sorry about that, the most recent version shipped without the create button visible.

2024.06

• Display correct time interval in Wait... option description when saving new recurring tasks, even if user has changed time interval during task creation

• Remove paywall from Open Loops, Add Task, and Project List screens

• Open user's default email app when sending feedback via Tools Tab

2024.05

What’s new:

• Unchecking a recurring task to mark it incomplete now preserves that task's connection to the recurrence life cycle

• New Dark Mode and Tinted icons for iOS 18

• Home Screen calendar will now display a button to request calendar access if those permissions aren’t already granted

• Open Loops, Create Task, and Project List tabs are now behind a paywall — please test out choosing a subscription, you will not be charged! 

2024.04

Lots happening behind the scenes here, none of it really visible! Initial transition to the new look is now complete. The app also now only supports portrait mode. If you used landscape mode previously and would appreciate seeing this functionality return, please send feedback! Include what screens you're on when you tend to rotate your device, and why you prefer the wider format in these cases.

2024.03

• Newly redesigned Tools Tab

• Minor display tweaks and improvements

• Adjustments to task list smart sort (task's creation date now contributes less weight to sorting; also fixed a bug that broke smart sorting in the new design)

• Accessibility improvements to home screen calendar

• Fix for bug that prevented future tasks and projects with no associated tasks from being imported from a backup file

2024.02

🚨Big changes incoming 🚨

Do The Thing now requires iOS 16 or newer. Most users have automatic iOS updates enabled, so hopefully this won’t affect you. iOS 16 support goes all the way back to iPhone 8, iPhone SE, etc. Please make sure you’ve done your system updates before proceeding here.

This update contains all-new looks for the project list, open loops list, project details, task details/new task, and most task lists. Functionality should be the same as the old design, just with a cleaner look. Let me know how it works for you!

You’ll notice the Tools tab and associated views still have the old look. I’m working on that but wanted to get the new stuff out for you to test out in the meantime. Watch for a new and improved Tools tab in (hopefully) the next update.

Edit 3/21/24: The "tap to edit" feature in the task list has been removed as of this update. However, the swipe menu still functions as it always has. Swipe to open the menu, then tap the yellow "edit" or red "delete" button.
