Remind me later

The planner’s reminder and sign-in code got a tougher kind of test check, which closed two gaps where a test ran the code without ever checking the result.

Returning to the app after being away is smoother, and a genuine outage is easier to spot.

• Opening the app after an hour idle no longer stalls on the loading screen, because the app no longer waits on a slow database write before showing your tasks.
• When the server truly cannot be reached, the reconnect screen now appears in about 16 seconds instead of 25, so you are not left staring at a spinner.

The weekly review’s overdue tasks were rebuilt to behave like the tasks on the Today screen.

• You can now mark an overdue task done by tapping a circle, and tap it again to put it back, so no menu is needed.
• Archiving an overdue task now shows an Undo button, so an archive by mistake takes one tap to reverse.
• Each plan row now leads with an icon and shorter labels, so you can tell habits, chores and deferred tasks apart at a glance.
• Fixed long overdue titles overlapping the buttons, confirmation and error messages that never appeared, and an archived row sliding out of line with its neighbours.

Completing a task or habit on the Today screen now shows a glow around the row, so a completion feels finished, where before that glow never appeared.

The weekly review reminders on screen and by text now line up.

• The weekly review banner now appears at your configured review time, so it prompts you alongside the text message instead of nagging from midnight.
• Fixed the weekly review text message linking to the week that was ending, so tapping it now opens next week instead of a dead end.

The Timeline got a couple of visual tweaks so it is easier to scan.

• One-off tasks now show a small circle beside the title, so every row lines up with your habits and repeating tasks instead of starting further left.
• The marker for today is now a green “Today” label with the date and a thin line, the kind of divider you already see in messaging apps.

A short day of layout and navigation polish.

• On a computer the app now sits in a centred, phone-width column instead of stretching across the screen, so it stays easy to read.
• Task detail now has a back arrow in its header, so you can get back to your list even when you opened the task from a text message.

Most of today went on habits, on the screen and by text message.

• Every habit you haven’t logged today now sits at the end of Today, so recording one is a tap instead of opening a separate picker.
• You can now move a repeating task or habit to another day by text, where before the reply told you to open the app.
• Fixed an add button blocked by the saved-task message, daily habits labelled weekly, a misaligned history grid, a stuck weekly count, and clumsy messages.

The weekly review and the Timeline both got attention.

• You can now see every habit’s progress on the screen shown after planning your week, including flexible ones left off before.
• Fixed those progress grids showing too small, awkward habit-nudge wording, and the Timeline losing today’s marker for people in Australian time zones.

Work continued on making each recurring habit record what happened on a day, so a past day stays correct after you change its schedule.

Undoing a skip was the focus, both on the day something was skipped and later.

• You can now undo a skip on a task that repeats every few days, weeks or months, where before tapping Undo just returned an error.
• A skipped item now keeps an “Undo skip” control on both Today and its detail screen, so you’re no longer stuck once the brief undo message disappears.

Checks that compare a new way of scheduling reminders against the current one cleared their last blocker, so the trial period before switching over can start.

This was internal work on how repeating tasks and habits are stored, with nothing to see on screen yet.

Text-message reminders now reach two kinds of habit that were quietly missing out.

• Habits you do a set number of times a week now get their own reminder text, where before that type never sent one.
• Fixed a reminder for a habit you moved to a chosen day arriving on its usual day instead of the day you picked.

The detail page for a habit or repeating task gained a record of when you actually did it.

• You can now see your last ten completion dates on a task, so you can answer “when did I last do this” without reading it off the grid.
• Fixed missed days on a habit grid showing as blank instead of grey, and the Today heading scrolling away instead of staying pinned at the top.

Flexible habits with a weekly target now count every completion, whenever you log it.

• You can now log a make-up completion on a day the habit wasn’t scheduled, so a missed occurrence still counts toward your weekly goal.
• Completions beyond your target now count as bonuses, so a strong week can read four of three instead of stopping at the goal.

Ticking off a task used to flash one green then settle on another, and now finished tasks and habits each keep a single, consistent colour.

The small messages that confirm an action or offer an undo got a full going-over.

• These messages used to blend into the background; they now sit on a clear card, so you can see what just happened.
• They moved from the top to the bottom of the screen, so the undo button is within thumb reach when you need it.
• The window to undo a skip or delete grew to six seconds, so a mistaken tap is easier to catch.

The work went into what happens when you come back to the app after leaving it sitting idle.

• Returning after a while no longer freezes on a timeout, so you get straight back in instead of retrying a few times.
• Signing back in after being away is now quicker, so you spend less time waiting to reach your tasks.

The app went through a large internal tidy-up you won’t notice, alongside one fix to how the activity timeline picks its starting week.

Most of the visible change landed in the banners and prompts.

• The setup tutorial you get by text now shows a step counter, so you can see how far through it you are and how much is left.
• The weekly review prompt and celebration banners got a plainer look, with a small action button in place of a full-width one.
• Fixed recurring chores appearing as habits on the Today screen, weekly reviews counting a moved habit as missed, and one person’s error halting reminders for everyone.

The Today screen changed how your tasks and habits are laid out and completed.

• Your tasks and habits now group under labelled headings with counts, so you can see at a glance what’s left, done and skipped.
• You mark anything done with a single tap on its ring, and completing one plays a short celebration, so the screen feels more responsive.
• Fixed row spacing and controls that drifted out of alignment on wrapped titles, and removed a duplicate Today heading at the top of the screen.

The top of the Today screen was reworked to keep the useful parts in view.

• The Today screen now shows the date and a larger title, and its progress bar stays pinned as you scroll, so your progress stays visible.

Today was about making a finished habit feel good, and reaching the ones that had gone missing.

• The little celebration when you finish a habit now plays on the row you tapped, so you see it instead of missing it off the bottom of the screen.
• A progress line at the top of Today shows how much is left, and clearing the last habit ends the day with a small finish.
• You can now scroll to and log older habits in the “Log another habit” list, which used to sit off the bottom of the screen with no way to reach them.

A code review checked how the planner held up after its recent features, and mapped out the fixes and tidy-up that come next.

Behind-the-scenes monitoring now records more detail about how the app’s parts work together, so faults can be traced and fixed faster.

Today’s visible work was fixing how a recurring task moves to a future date.

• You can now push a repeating task or habit to a later day and it stays there, instead of returning to Today on the next refresh.
• A snoozed occurrence no longer counts as a missed habit, so moving one to another day doesn’t break your streak.
• Undoing a snooze that crosses into a later week or month now reverses the whole move in a single tap.

The planner got a round of internal maintenance that changes nothing for anyone using the app.

Most of the work went into habits, with a handful of weekly-review fixes.

• You can now mark a habit done on a day it isn’t scheduled, from Today or the habit’s page, so a make-up counts.
• A make-up fills in the day you missed so it shows in the habit’s history, while an extra one is logged as a bonus.
• Any off-schedule mark can be undone with one tap, in case you picked the wrong habit.
• Fixed the weekly review listing chores on the wrong weeks, a placeholder ‘Every N weeks’ label, and a bounce home after committing a plan.

Two small annoyances are gone, one when opening the app from a text message and one on the Today screen.

• You can now open your daily review from the text-message link even after your login expired, where before it would just fail to load.
• Fixed the habit count on the Today screen, which kept showing the old total after you undid a completed habit, until the next refresh.

A habit nudge that was meant to help you restart had quietly never appeared for anyone, until now.

• You now get a suggested small step to restart a habit you’ve fallen behind on, shown in the app and sent by text.
• A habit you keep skipping now counts as falling behind, so it gets a restart nudge instead of reading as on track.
• The suggested step refreshes each day, so it reflects where you are now rather than a stale suggestion from earlier.
• Fixed a monthly habit landing on the wrong week when re-planned twice in a month, and one flagged as behind too early.

Habits now build encouragement around what you’ve done, instead of dwelling on a missed day.

• Each habit shows a running total of times you’ve done it, so progress builds up instead of resetting after a missed day.
• You can now see each habit’s history as a grid on its detail page, so you can spot patterns and stretches at a glance.
• When you fall behind on a habit, it now suggests one small step to restart, both in the app and by text message.
• When you log a habit after missing it a while, you get a small celebration that never mentions the gap, so coming back feels good.

The weekly review is now a single screen you plan and commit in one place.

• You can now plan and commit your week on one screen, so committing no longer means a separate confirm step and a static done screen.
• A committed week with work left to place now opens ready to edit, so you can adjust the plan without starting over.
• Fixed the weekly review opening on a read-only recap you couldn’t edit when reached from the dashboard.

A task that repeats every few months could only be skipped when you snoozed it, and can now move to a day you choose.

The app used to react to a brief server problem as though you had been signed out.

• You now stay logged in through a brief server outage, where before it bounced you to the login page and login appeared to fail.
• When the connection drops you now see a reconnect screen that recovers on its own, instead of a login page.

The planner’s list of fixes and planned features moved out of one text file into a browsable board organised by release goal.

The add-task form and a few planning screens got some attention.

• You can now set a task to repeat with a clear full-width toggle, instead of a small checkbox that was easy to miss.
• Fixed the timeline’s today marker hiding behind the filter bar, weekly review showing a just-done task as overdue, and snoozed tasks lingering in daily review.

The weekly review, where you set up the coming week, lost the steps that got in the way.

• Overdue one-off tasks now sit at the top of the planning step, so a single leftover task no longer blocks you from planning anything.
• You no longer look back over last week before planning, so the review stays focused on the week ahead.
• The final screen is now a single prompt, so you commit your plan without re-reading a summary of choices you just made.
• Fixed rows in the weekly review shifting sideways depending on their state, which left assigned and unassigned items misaligned.

Finishing a weekly review that was already committed, with nothing left to schedule, now ends on a Done button instead of a dead-end screen.

The planner no longer logs you out when it is open in two tabs at once and the tabs briefly compete to refresh your login.

The timeline now jumps back to today when you switch to its tab, where before it could stay stuck away from the current day.

This was housekeeping on the automated tests, the safety net that catches mistakes before any change reaches people using the planner.

The daily review screen and the morning text message both got some attention.

• Picking a time for a task in your daily review now files it and clears it from the list, with no separate confirm step.
• Your morning text message now fits more of your day, so fewer tasks get cut when the list is long.
• Fixed an overdue badge that clashed with its neighbour and showed an unhelpful month, and trimmed repeated notes from the morning message.

Deleting your account now removes the reminder records that used to be left behind, so nothing of yours lingers after you have gone.

Reminders and repeating tasks got most of the attention.

• Your weekly review reminder sends on Sunday again, after a scheduling bug silently blocked it for the past two weeks.
• Fixed text snoozes saving the wrong time, snoozed tasks lingering on Today, and repeating tasks showing on the wrong days in the timeline.

If you text the planner more than once in a day, every reply now gets a response, not just the first.

Most of the day went into the text messages the planner sends and how you reply to them.

• The morning reminder text now numbers tasks with no gaps, so a skipped habit no longer leaves a confusing hole like 1, 2, 4.
• Replying “done 3” now hits the task numbered 3 that morning, even after you’ve ticked off others, so replies never land on the wrong task.
• Texting an afternoon command like “snooze tomorrow” now gets a reply, where before some wordings failed silently and left you with no answer.
• Fixed an unexpected logout to the sign-in page, an unreadable selected day chip, a mis-coloured verify button, and repetitive profile-setup labels.

Weekly planning now keeps up with tasks that arrive after you’ve done your review.

• A reminder now appears when a task lands in the current week without a day, so it does not sit unplanned and forgotten.
• You can now give those tasks a day straight from the review screen, where before it turned read-only once you had committed.
• Fixed the profile setup Finish button needing two taps to continue, and a mobile verification message shown in the wrong colour.

Text reminders and the weekly timeline got most of the attention.

• Proactive text reminders now stop for anyone who hasn’t opened the app or texted back for two weeks, so a dormant account stops getting nudged.
• Replying to a text reminder now gets a faster response.
• Fixed the timeline showing wrong times for scheduled tasks, new tasks missing from the timeline until you navigated away, and sign-out after account deletion.

The planner’s sign-in was rebuilt to run through the shared account service that the other sites already use.

The timeline filter got the attention most people would notice.

• The timeline filter now stays below the header and keeps its search box when nothing matches, so a mistyped search is easy to clear.
• Fixed reminders firing a day off for New Zealand users, a failed task defer in Today’s plan, and stale tutorial state after a profile update.

The planner got broad attention, from how tasks repeat to the timeline, Today screen and settings.

• The timeline now shows each recurring task and habit under the day it’s actually due, with the current week laid out day by day.
• You can now filter the timeline by typing, so days, weeks and months without a match drop out of view.
• Setting how often a task or habit repeats now uses a clearer picker, with new every-few-months and once-a-week options so more schedules fit.
• You can now pick when a repeating task or habit starts, choosing this week, next week or a specific date.
• Marking a task done, skipped or snoozed on Today now responds instantly as the row slides away, instead of waiting for a refresh.
• Skipping or snoozing now offers an undo, so an accidental tap is easy to reverse.
• You can now move a monthly repeating task to a specific day, where before you could only skip it.
• The task detail screen now lists every saved detail, including its schedule, how often it repeats, reminder time and snooze count.
• You can now edit your briefing time, reminder time, and weekly review day and time by tapping them in settings.
• You can now change your phone number or delete your account from the settings screen.
• Fixed a morning briefing that double-listed a habit due today, an error when skipping a monthly task, and monthly tasks showing on every week.
