What's New in orgstar
0.9.1
October 18, 2026
Agenda (Mac and iOS) A habit scheduled on an earlier day and not done now goes in today’s Overdue group. Every overdue row shows how late it is (for example “2d ago”) instead of its original time of day. iPhone and iPad Entry sheet: tapping an agenda entry opens a sheet to edit its title, TODO state, priority, scheduled date, deadline, tags and notes. It has undo and redo, and Done writes all the changes to the file together. Overdue section: overdue entries get their own section above today. First launch: a few screens introduce the app and ask for the folder of org files. They also offer notifications, Calendar events and Reminders, each requested only when you choose it. About: Settings now ends with About orgstar: the version, the manual, release notes, the issue tracker, support email and the privacy policy. Languages Menus, settings, the agenda, widgets and the watch app are now in French, Japanese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, as well as English and German. German now also covers the entry sheet, first launch and About screens. Counts such as selected entries, minutes and days use the correct singular or plural form in every language. The archive prompt and the Mac mode line’s line and word count are now translated; before, they mixed in English words. Agenda navigation, the “mark done” swipe action and “None” in pickers have their own translations, separate from the identical English words used elsewhere.
