NEW IN 1.2 - Made for iPhone Duo and iPad: on the big screen, your timeline and Inbox sit side by side โ€” drag tasks straight onto your day. - Desk Mode on iPhone Duo: prop it up mid-block and the timer sits on the top half, every control on the bottom, and the screen stays on until the block ends. - Visual Countdown: a color disk that shrinks as time runs out, so you can see how long you have at a glance. - Wrap-Up Heads-Up: a nudge 5 minutes before a block ends.
