What's New in Digital Habits
3.8.9
August 12, 2026
Hi folks, - Meet Digital Habits: Blocker! Renamed from ReDD Blocker as part of the move from the Reduce Digital Distraction (ReDD) Project to Centre for Digital Habits (digitalhabits.org). This update also comes with some helpful improvements! - "Create/edit dialog polish": Emoji and colour sit below Stop Method, with English (UK) "Colour" spelling and a tighter welcome header layout. - "Quick Start difficulty changes (and keeps drafts)": Override difficulty tops out at 1000 characters (~5 minutes of typing), the control is labelled "Difficulty to override", and one-off drafts stay alive through the start confirmation instead of vanishing on re-render. - "More realistic typing-time estimates": Random-words / custom challenges assume ~200 characters per minute and gibberish ~100, so the time hints match typical typing speed more closely. - "Feedback options more clear": The feedback / suggestions link moved to the top of Settings so it's easier to find. - "Enforcement section is clearer and open by default": The Enforcement section starts expanded, and the auto-close row now says it closes the browser if blocking is *bypassed* (not if "protection stops"). - "Neater backup controls": Export / Import stack to match the Settings control column. - "Danish copy polish": Settings close is Gem, schedule wording uses *ugeskema*, and related Danish strings are tightened throughout. - "One focus space expands by default": When you only have a single focus space, its sites/apps summary expands on first render so you can see what it covers without an extra click. Please keep suggesting improvements to the app - you can do so at https://github.com/ulyngs/digital-habits-blocker We hope you're enjoying Digital Habits: Blocker! - Ulrik, Tiago, & the Centre for Digital Habits Team (digitalhabits.org)
