What's New in Intent 2.0.0 Welcome to our biggest update yet! Intent 2.0 brings automated calendar scheduling, a completely redesigned focus timer, smarter app shielding, and actionable analytics to help you stay present and intentional. SCHEDULED FOCUS & CALENDAR SYNC - Calendar Integration: Seamlessly sync with Apple Calendar to view your upcoming events and convert them into focus blocks with one tap. - Automated Background Shielding: Set focus blocks that automatically activate app shielding at your event start time and restore apps when your session ends - even if Intent is closed. - Flexible Recurrence: Set recurring focus schedules across Daily, Weekday, Weekend, Weekly, or Monthly schedules. - Event Notifications: Get timely reminders right before your focus block begins. REDESIGNED FOCUS EXPERIENCE - Modern Circular Dial: A sleek new progress dial with sweep gradient visuals and intuitive +/- 5m fine-tuning buttons. - Multi-Day Custom Picker: Need an extended focus block? Set custom sessions spanning anywhere from minutes up to 30 days. - Quick Duration Chips: Jump straight into focus with 15m, 25m, 45m, 60m presets or your own custom duration. - Daily Goal Tracker: Keep tabs on your daily intention right from the header with our new goal progress ring. SMARTER APP SHIELDING - Default "Block All Apps": Start focusing with zero setup friction - all distracting apps are shielded by default. - Granular Selection: Easily switch between Block All Apps, Specific Apps, or Don't Block. - Persistent Choices: Your selected apps are remembered automatically across sessions. - Reliable Background Unshielding: Powered by the new DeviceActivityMonitor extension to ensure your apps always unblock reliably the moment your timer expires. ACTIONABLE ANALYTICS - Tappable Chart Days: Tap any day on your analytics chart to inspect that day's individual focus sessions, durations, and completion outcomes. - Unified Focus Tracking: Clean day/week/month views measuring what matters most - your actual focused time. UNDER THE HOOD - Performance improvements, faster startup, and stability enhancements across iOS 18+. Love using Intent? Leave us a review on the App Store!
