You have 170 tasks. 45 are marked "Critical." You're paralyzed. You don't know where to start. This is the exact moment Compass was built for.

Ever open your task list and feel completely lost? Not sure what to tackle first, watching deadlines drift by, wondering why that task has been sitting there for two weeks? What if your app could be your navigator—someone who's been watching your journey and knows exactly where you need to go?

Today, we're launching Project Compass: the AI-powered ritual that helps you chart your course every morning, reflect every evening, and recalibrate every week.

This week we shipped a massive notification system overhaul, brought timers to Mind Your Now, made voice mode work beautifully on Android, and added smart calendar placement for shared tasks. Plus a bunch of critical bug fixes that make everything more reliable.

Your Briefing screen just got smarter. Now when meetings show up, you get real actions - not just passive notifications. Skip that optional sync, decline conflicting invites, or work on alternative tasks instead. Your calendar works for you, not the other way around.

We just made starting your Pomodoro sessions as easy as saying what you're working on. No clicking, no searching - just speak naturally and let AI handle the rest.

When we say "Mind Your Now," we mean mind your chores, mind your habits, and mind your time. Your favorite productivity app just got some serious upgrades that make managing all three way easier.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Mind Your Time, our advanced Pomodoro timer feature designed to help you achieve deep focus and boost your productivity. Whether you're working on complex projects, studying for exams, or simply trying to manage your daily tasks more effectively, Mind Your Time is here to help you work smarter, not harder.

Hello Mind Your Now community!

We're excited to share some recent updates and important reminders to help you make the most of Mind Your Now. Let's dive into what's new and what you might have missed!

1. New Habits Page: Your One-Stop Habit Hub​

We've introduced a brand new Habits page that allows you to view and adjust all your habits in one convenient location. This centralized view makes it simpler than ever to track your progress and make quick adjustments to your routine.

2. Revamped Priorities Page: Drag, Drop, and Conquer​

Our new Priorities page introduces an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Now you can easily adjust the priority of your tasks by simply moving them between the Critical, Opportunity Now, Over The Horizon, and Parking Lot categories. This visual approach helps you quickly reorganize your priorities as your needs change.

3. Enhanced "Kick The Can" Feature​

We've made some significant improvements to our popular "Kick The Can" feature:

• Smarter Rescheduling: The feature now only reschedules tasks with a start date of today or in the past. Future tasks remain untouched unless you choose to use the "Rebalance" option.
• Improved Distribution: We've refined our distribution logic to prevent tasks from being pushed too far into the future. Here's how it works:
  • Critical tasks are spread over at least 7 days, with no more than 5 per day.
  • Opportunity Now tasks are distributed across at least 14 days, with a maximum of 20 per day.
  • Over The Horizon tasks are spread over a minimum of 30 days, with no more than 3 per day.
  • Parking Lot tasks are distributed across at least 90 days, with a cap of 3 per day.
• Future View Reminder: Don't forget to use the "Show Future" option to view tasks that have been rescheduled to future dates.

4. Calendar Integration Reminder​

We'd like to remind you about the importance of calendar integration to get the most out of Mind Your Now. This integration allows our AI to schedule your tasks more effectively around your existing commitments. Here's what you need to know:

• You can integrate both Google and Microsoft calendars with Mind Your Now.
• If you haven't set up your calendar integration yet, here's how to do it:
  1. Go to your account settings
  2. Select "Calendar Integration"

By connecting your calendars, you'll experience a more seamless and personalized task management experience.
