October 27, 2026
A repeating task with steps now comes back with every step unticked, so a weekly "Pack for the trip" starts clean instead of looking finished (Pro). The Tomorrow button now moves a task that is already overdue to tomorrow, where it used to move it one day on from its old date and leave it overdue for weeks. When your ten are full, Make room has a Later button beside Mark done and Drop, and you can undo it for a few seconds. Pro: a new Plan your day button beside your slot count opens today's three, or tomorrow's, which until now only a notification could do. An overdue date stays red for a week; after that the row simply says when it was due, such as "Was due 3 weeks ago". Reminders now catch up with your list when you open the app: with iCloud sync (Pro), a task you finished or re-timed on another device stops ringing here, and a timed task added there gets its reminder here. The coloured header behind Today, the Pro screen and the welcome screen is a little deeper, so the white text on it is easier to read.
