Tracker Need to know how much time remains until a specific date or how long it's been since a particular event? Introducing Tracker, a feature available in the Task Due Date settings, designed to keep you informed and on schedule. Smart lists When setting up a new list, take advantage of the Smart List feature by toggling the option in the top right corner of the screen. Enabling Smart Lists activates a set of predefined filters, such as Flagged, Tracked, Overdue, and others, allowing you to automatically organise and prioritise tasks based on specific criteria. These filters help you quickly identify and manage important items, ensuring that you stay on top of your tasks and deadlines with minimal effort. By using Smart Lists, you can streamline your workflow and maintain a more efficient and organised task management system. Other changes - Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when saving a list as a template - Fixed a bug that could cause automatic deletion of empty lists - General usability and performance improvements

Habits We are thrilled to introduce Habits, a new feature designed to assist you in developing and tracking your habits seamlessly. Whether you are aiming to adopt healthier lifestyle choices or enhance your productivity, Habits provides a user-friendly platform to establish and monitor your daily routines. With intuitive tools and personalised tracking options, you can effortlessly create new habits and stay on course with your goals. From setting up custom habits to receiving timely reminders and tracking your progress, this feature is your go-to companion for cultivating positive behaviours and achieving lasting results. Tools Tap and hold the main "Add" button to open the Tools menu, where you can find Habits, Pomodoro, and the Eisenhower Matrix. My day You can now customise the timing for each segment of your day - Morning, Day, Evening, and Night. Available under Settings - Date and Time - My day. Fine-tuned calendar navigation Previously, to navigate to the next or previous day, you had to swipe only at the bottom of the Calendar screen, which often caused conflicts with iOS's default app-switching gestures. To improve this, we've now enabled swiping anywhere below the week row of the calendar to change the day, and we've moved the Flag and Delete task actions into the general task menu, which you can access with a long tap on the task. Enhanced custom recurrence Next custom recurrence feature already offers great flexibility to fit your unique schedule. Now, we are taking this flexibility to the next level by adding the ability to set tasks to recur at hourly intervals. This feature can be particularly useful in a variety of scenarios, such as: - Medication reminders: Ensure you take your medicine every 4 hours - Hydration alerts: Get reminders to drink water every 2 hours - Study breaks: Schedule regular breaks during study sessions or work periods These enhancements provide the precision you need to maintain your routines effortlessly. Stay on top of your daily goals with the improved custom recurrence feature.

Faster and smoother calendar We've rebuilt and optimised the core loading engine, resulting in faster and smoother loading of tasks on the Calendar. Enjoy swift and seamless access to your schedule. More ways to navigate your schedule Swipe left or right across the Calendar toolbar at the bottom to navigate to the next or previous day. Swipe across the row displaying the weekdays to move forward or backward by a week. Eisenhower matrix Dwight D. Eisenhower continuously faced tough decisions about which of the many tasks he should focus on each day. He used to say, 'I have two kinds of problems: the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent.' This eventually led him to invent the Eisenhower principle, which is now reborn in Next in the form of Eisenhower matrix, available under 'All open tasks' screen. Duplication check Now, when you record a new task, Next intelligently cross-references your input with existing tasks. Any potential matches are displayed right above your input, allowing you to check and decide whether you truly need to create a new task and avoid duplication. Other changes - Fixed bug causing incorrect frequency for custom recurrence - General usability and performance improvements
