WWDC 23 was our favourite ever yet

Last year was our first WWDC. We had gone all-in on SwiftUI at this stage. Although there were plenty of additions and improvements to the framework, our iOS 16 update was underwhelming. But that’s about to change. We predict our iOS 17 update will significantly level up our UX.…

Top 10 on Product Hunt 😻

We revealed timing.is on Product Hunt at the end of last month, and we’re thrilled to share we ended the day in the top 10 for the day.…

Drop 17.4 — November 24

What’s removed? Scrubber * Based on user testing, it’s become apparent that the scrubber’s function is not immediately clear, and — even when it is — its benefit not appreciated. As a result, for the time being at least, we’ve decided to remove it, so that we have one…

Drop 17.3 — November 23

What’s improved? App * Should be more reliable and less susceptible to inexplicable/sudden crashes, especially on an app resume. Entry * Reduced size of date/time keyboards to stop top row of action buttons creeping into phone’s safe area on smaller screens. Planner * When you have multiple items selected,…

Drop 17.2 — November 22

What’s new? Entry * Support added to add consecutive entries without jumping in/out to achieve this. Long-pressing [Save] saves the current entry, and then clears the form to add another (as opposed to closing entry). What’s improved? Stream * Tidied up appearance of week chart, including addition of date…

Drop 17.1 — November 19

What’s improved? Entry * Type of entry being added always appears after datetime. * Won’t auto-set title to a tag’s if you set a tag before giving the entry a title. * When you add any metadata, and the completed fields list scrolls to show it, there will always be…

Drop 17 — November 17

Hey All 👋 Nine days since our last update can only mean one thing: a +1 drop! As is tradition with these updates, there’s one big addition, alongside a series of improvements and fixes. We previously supported adding tasks and events. Today, we’re delighted to support reminders too: a…

Drop 16.7 — November 7

What’s new? App * We’ve finally added an app menu accessible through either a bottom left tap on the Tab Bar, or a right swipe on calendar. Expect more options to be added over time, including a Settings screen to enable you to personalise your experience. What’s improved?…

Drop 16.6 — November 4

What’s improved? Hero Day * Text on events in Hero Day won’t truncate (unnecessarily). Planner * Shows a total count of tasks, that updates when you’ve added filters to curate. * Should hopefully be more clear what the Planner contains based on the addition of the above string as well…

Drop 16.5 — November 3

What’s fixed? Calendar * March 2023 onwards should be rendering correctly. * No days from a previous month should show on a month’s calendar. * Inversely, no days from the next month should show either. * When the last day of the month is the 31st and a Monday, it will show.…

Drop 16.4 — November 2

What’s improved? Stream * Periodic checks are made for external calendar updates to ensure any changes made outside the app are picked up as quickly as possible (not instant unfortunately due to our current dependence on Apple SDKs). To begin with, this should ensure any external changes to today or…

Drop 16.3 — November 1

What’s improved? Entry * Changing to a multi-day event will default it to a two day event (not three). * Title field won’t immediately change to “Untitled” after you press [Save] and are transitioning out of entry. * Tags now last field for increased prominence, as well as because it makes…

Drop 16.2 — October 30

What’s improved? Entry * Inputting a tag will keep the hashtag visible, and will insert hyphens when a space is inserted. * Dividers between accelerators more subtle. * Emoji accelerators show by default when you are on the title field. This makes inserting one faster, as well as improves transition between fields.…

Drop 16.1 — October 28

What’s improved? Entry * Emoji and Hashtag suggestions are now sorted by most recent, and capped to the last 10. * When creating a task (unspecified date/time) you can now add a location and it will automatically create an alarm, setting a notification when you enter a radius of 2…

Drop 16 — October 26

Hello World 👋 After five updates over a week, we took our time to re-focus on an area that we felt had unfulfilled potential: the Planner. For those of you who didn’t quite understand the feature, and/or found it useful, we feel the work done over the last week…
