Whether you’re viewing a task or scanning a list, the Deadline Bar is always visible, ensuring your most important deadlines stay top of mind.
📖 Daily Notes & the Adventure Log
Every day is a fresh start, and now you can write a quick note for each day—whether it’s a focus for the day, something you’re grateful for, or simply something you don’t want to forget. These daily notes are saved to your Adventure Log. Looking back, you’ll see not just what you accomplished, but also the thoughts, goals, and memories that shaped your journey.
⭐ The Today Card: Your Day, At a Glance
No matter where you are in the app, your most important tasks are just a tap away. Introducing the Today Card—a beautifully designed, tactile overlay that gives you instant access to everything that matters right now. Tap the star in the top right corner, and up pops a snapshot of your day, featuring the date, a live count of tasks remaining, your top 5 priorities, and even your Daily Note. Whether you’re planning ahead or checking in throughout the day, the Today Card keeps you focused without breaking your flow.
🖊 Satisfying Handwritten Animations for Task Completion
Checking off a task now feels as good as crossing it out on a real notepad. When you complete a task, a drawn-on checkmark appears, as if ink is flowing onto the screen. Canceling a task? An x-mark gets scribbled on naturally, making every action feel rewarding.
