September update to chores, habits and focus mode
· 2 min read
This update improves chores, habits and focus mode, and fixes a set of calendar and time zone bugs. It's live now; just open the app.
Chores
- Preferred times: set when you like to do each chore, and the app schedules it then. Dishes in the morning, vacuuming on Saturday.
- Chore history: swipe back through your history to see what actually got done. Finishing a chore early earns bonus points.
- Household coordination: see who's doing what and when, so nobody wonders who was taking out the trash.
Habits
- In your daily overview: habits now sit alongside the rest of your day, from the morning routine to the evening one. Streaks are shown without dwelling on the days you missed.
- On your calendar: time you block for a habit, like a workout or meditation, appears on your calendar with everything else.
- On your phone: the mobile app has a new Habits tab.
Focus mode
Focus mode now brings your habits and chores into one uncluttered view. Use it for a study session, a cleaning push or a morning routine.
Calendar fixes
- Scheduled items now show up reliably.
- Time zones are handled correctly, so reminders arrive at the right local time.
- Better support for different calendar apps.
Achievements
Achievements track your progress more accurately and display more cleanly. Making your bed seven days running counts.
