Changelog

Every version, newest first. Short on purpose: what changed, not how it was built.

1. 1.1

   Unreleased

   Habits that know when they are done, a Home Screen worth looking at, and repeats you can trust.

   • NewThisDay now speaks ten languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Every screen, every notification, every widget, every Siri phrase.
   • NewWhen a month ends, ThisDay tells it back to you. A handful of cards: what you finished, the habits you kept, where the month went, the pictures you saved, and the hour of the day you actually get things done. They open the first time you arrive, or wait quietly on the Day Bar if you prefer, and they stay in the Logbook. Every January closes the year the same way.
   • NewRepeats can say which day of the month they mean. The 27th, the first Thursday, the last day, whatever it happens to be. Yearly, too.
   • NewDeleting one occurrence of a repeating task now asks what you meant, the way a calendar does. This one, or this one and every one after it.
   • NewYou choose what a repeating task does when its day passes without being ticked. It can stay on its day, follow you to today, or simply go.
   • NewHabits that Apple Health ticks for you get a heading of their own, on the day and in the calendar. A step count is a readout, not a decision.
   • NewCategory chips can drop the name and keep the mark, which gives the title back the width the word was using.
   • NewYour Google, Outlook and Exchange calendars, alongside everything else. They are added to iPhone itself and ThisDay shows them the moment they are, with no account and no server of ours in between.
   • NewThe Apple Reminders lists you choose, in your day. Reminders you already have stay read-only: those rows have no checkbox, and ThisDay never edits them.
   • NewAnd the other way. Tasks you make in ThisDay can be written out as reminders, so they reach Siri, a Mac that doesn't run ThisDay, and anyone you share a list with. Off until you ask for it, and the copies it made are the only reminders it ever touches. Switch it off and they go.
   • NewAdd a task, tick something off, or ask what is on today without opening the app. Shortcuts and Siri both.
   • NewAny colour you like for a category, not just the ones in the palette.
   • NewSixty app icons. One group follows your accent colour and changes with it, the rest keep colours of their own.
   • NewBuy me a coffee. ThisDay is made by one person, and a tip buys nothing: every part of it works exactly the same before and after.
   • NewA widget for nearly everything. Today, Calendar, Inbox, Habits, Moments and Polaroids, in the sizes each one deserves.
   • NewPick the habits a widget shows, or give a whole card to a single habit.
   • NewMoments on the Home Screen. Pictures that rotate through the week, or one you pin and keep.
   • NewTick a habit or a task straight from a widget, without opening the app.
   • NewThe week can start on Saturday.
   • NewWhen a newer ThisDay is on the App Store, the app says so, once, and asks. It checks at most once a day, sends nothing about you, and there is a switch in Settings to stop it asking at all.
   • BetterThe save buttons in the capture sheet are pinned to the foot of it now, side by side, over a fade that lets the form show through as it scrolls under. With Details and Steps open they used to sit below the bottom of the screen, and the only clue "Add task" still existed was knowing to scroll for it.
   • BetterSettings goes sideways instead of upwards. Opening a category, and then its icon picker, used to stack three sheets one on top of the other; now each one slides in beside the last with a way back in the corner.
   • BetterA photo zooms to the point you pinched, and can be dragged around once it is bigger than the screen. It used to zoom to the middle and stay there.
   • BetterSyncing with iCloud no longer announces itself. It says so once, on a device that has never pulled your account down before, where an empty day needs explaining. After that it works in silence.
   • BetterCategories and Customization are listed directly on the page now, separated by the same dashed seam the day's own headings use, with more air between them.
   • BetterA category's mark is drawn in the same space whether it is a dot or a glyph, so a list of them lines up.
   • BetterThe icon and the widgets know what to do on a tinted Home Screen. Photographs keep their own colours, everything else steps into your tint.
   • BetterSettings is organised by what you came to change rather than by what the app happens to store.
   • FixedRepeating tasks could pile up on Today as overdue, sometimes eight copies of the same one, each insisting in its own detail that it never repeated. Only one occurrence in a series carried the rule, so every other one looked like a stray task you had missed. They all carry it now.
   • FixedAn event created in ThisDay and mirrored to your calendar came back and appeared twice. ThisDay no longer reads its own handwriting.
   • FixedA reminder that had already rung stayed on the Lock Screen after you opened the app and ticked the thing off. Completing something, or deleting it, now takes its notification with it.
   • FixedThe blue bracket beside a multi-selection in the Inbox sat below the rows it was bracketing.
   • FixedThe eye in Today showed nothing at all when the only thing being held back was an auto-tracked habit.
   • FixedThe delete confirmation in the calendar's day view landed at the foot of the sheet, half behind the toolbar.
   • FixedDeleting several picked rows in the calendar's day view went through without asking first.
   • FixedA long category or calendar name no longer takes the row from the event it belongs to. Past a few characters the chip keeps its colour and drops the words.
   • FixedA habit you have already ticked off no longer reminds you about it that evening.
   • FixedHabit notifications arrived with a stray emoji in the title.
   • FixedThe calendar in every widget was stuck on a Monday week, whatever your setting said.
   • FixedA long screen name in the navigation broke across two lines mid-word and pushed the bar taller. It now shrinks to fit, in every language.
   • FixedA tick made in a widget, by Siri, or on another device could leave the copy in Apple Reminders behind. Everything that changes a task now reaches it.
   • FixedThe small confirmation sounds ignored the ring/silent switch after a voice note had been recorded or played. Recording and playback are meant to be heard; the taps are not, and they now hand the audio session back so the switch is obeyed again.
